10 Best restaurants for Indian in San Francisco

Copra

Wonderful cocktails. We tried three diff ones, all taste special and so good. Amazing food, especially the bone marrow masala, layered spices with deep flavors. It changed my idea about Indian food.

Copra is a standout — refined yet soulful cooking in a stunning space. The lamb was tender and richly spiced, the mackerel smoky and complex, the spicy shrimp vibrant with heat, and the scallops delicate yet deeply flavorful. The chutneys added bright, addictive notes to everything. Service was warm and attentive, the lighting flattering, noise levels low, and the room itself is beautiful with soaring ceilings and lush greenery. Highly recommend trying Copra for some amazing Indian flavors!

Portion sizes are quite generous. Appetizers easily sized for 2. Entrees could be shared with 3.

Tender Jack-65, black pepper chicken were as good as it gets to start with.
Masala dosa fantastic! Though the coconut chutney with it felt like frozen coconut puree, the only item that didn’t meet the mark, Sambhar delicious.
The chicken kori gassi curry and lamb shoulder chettwere so balanced, consistent and delicious. The lamb could have been just a bit more tender.
Great service, great atmosphere..

I set up a birthday dinner here for my partner’s 40th birthday and had an amazing experience.

We are both vegan and vegetarian, a friend is gluten free and the rest eat meat so I chose this restaurant because, not only was it beautiful, their menu seemed to be able to accommodate a wide range of dietary restrictions. We all thought the food was absolutely amazing. The restaurant itself is stunning inside.

The service was exceptional and it’s important to note it was a busy night and the service still did not lack.

I brought a bottle of wine and cake. The cork fee was 40 dollars and the cake fee was 5 dollars per person which is all pretty standard. I did arrange this dinner expecting it would be spendy. I was just hoping the money would feel well spent and it definitely did.

Every dish we got was very good but the one that stood out to me the most was the dosa!

Was keen to have lunch at this popular restaurant and we made it today. We were lucky enough to get a parking near this place. Nice ambiance and service. Mocktails were nice and food was good too, also tried tea which was okay . We had our grandson with us and hence we had to go without dessert as we were in a rush. I just forgot my jacket in the rush.

Kinara Fusion Kitchen

Enjoyed Kinara for dinner! The inside was really cute and cozy. It was very busy at dinner so make sure you do a reservation.

Tandoori Fish was really tasty (I am not a big fish person but I really enjoyed it) no fishy taste. Lamb chops are a must and the cheesy garlic naan was almost like a mini pizza.

Would recommend for a nice halal place to eat. They also had a prayer spot downstairs.

This is downtown SF so make sure you go early to find parking (it’s a pretty popular area with lots of food spots so parking is very tough) there are two parking garages however they are flat fees of $30+, we were lucky to drive in circles until we got street parking. Again just go early to ensure you can find parking or if you are okay parking far and walking.

Quick update: the pizza tastes better when reheated! We ordered more than we could eat and just ate the leftover pizza for dinner. The flavors came out stronger with a day in the fridge and reheated in the oven. 👌

We had a wonderful meal at Kinara. It was less fusion than we were expecting, but super flavorful dishes. Highly recommend the appetizers -- we thoroughly enjoyed the pani puri shots and the cauliflower Manchurian (warning ⚠️: it is spicy! 🌶️). The gulab jamun was also really flavorful and not cloyingly sweet like I've experienced in the past. Personally we found the green lantern chicken a little dry (although fine with the dipping sauces) and the curry for MVP pizza a less curry-forward that we expected (but not bad by any means). The pricing is very reasonable and every dish was very flavorful. A lot of tables near us were ordering the fire fries, which we'll have to order next time we visit. I would also guess that their curries are really good.

Slightly lower marks for the service since it was a bit slow to begin with, but once we ordered the food came out very quickly.

This is a hidden gem dinner option to add to the rotation. 👏

My colleague and I stopped by after a long day at our conference. We had developed quite the appetite and we were not disappointed. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was chill (perfect after sitting in sessions all day), and the food was incredible! We will definitely be coming back.

First time visiting San Francisco and this restaurant. Very busy for a Friday night. Our waiter, Rahil P., was so nice and helpful in picking out food.

Amazing decor and atmosphere. Very well lit.

We ordered the Desi chicken wings, the mixed platter, and fire fries with chicken. The mixed platter included chicken boti, beef boti, tandoori chicken, and lamb chops. Food was amazing. Very flavorful. Kashmiri chai served on Fridays and Saturdays.

I would highly recommend to anyone visiting San Francisco.

Great ambiance with Instagram-worthy decor.
The food presentation is top-notch, and the service was excellent throughout. The samosa chaat was flavorful, and the ribs, while tender, were a bit too heavy on the BBQ sauce for my taste. The chicken tikka masala was decent, though not a standout. I wasn’t too fond of the naan, but overall, the experience was enjoyable. I’d definitely go back!
