A friend and I wandered into Copra last evening. We got a table on the second floor and ordered martinis. They were good, as was the Pisco Sour I scored later. The decor in Copra is amazing, imaginative and enticing. I attach a couple of photos.  Do be warned that most of the food at Copra is hot with spicy South Indian chili. All four of the chutneys pictured were hot. Only the green one worked for us, because as it turned out, we are both wimps where hot and spicy is concerned. The raw oysters we got were flavorful and fresh (the sauce was just right spice-wise). The little popover thingies were delicious as was the pear salad I ordered as my entry. My friend had the fish cooked in banana leaves which he said was moist and rich tasting. The dessert, close to a flan, was melt in your mouth delicious. The restaurant got very noisy unfortunately. The wait staff was attentive without being intrusive and the food arrived in a timely fashion. So, thumbs up!

Very good high end South Indian fusion cuisine. There are a lot of interesting dishes to try on the menu. I was blown away by the rice flower and coconut "bread" that came with the duck - it was delicious, slightly sweet, and chewy, and it paired amazingly well with the slightly spicy gravy. I look forward to returning.

Best Indian restaurant in SF 🇮🇳 We’re partial to southern Indian food, like copra, because it’s lighter and uses more coconut milk (versus ghee). While the apps were delicious (esp the brown butter shrimp and fried chicken) try not to fill up because the mains were next level. The hamachi collar was excellent, accompanied with local snap peas and coconut rice. The duck was tender and fell right off the bone. If you can handle heat (and enjoy it) then order your dishes with extra kick and get a side of their 90 day chili sauce 🌶️

We walked in when they opened at 5:30 and got a great spot at the bar. We really enjoyed chatting with the staff, who were friendly and knowledgeable about all the dishes. Order a clarified lassi punch before they run out, as they only make a limited batch per day!

Words cannot begin to describe how fantastic the food at Copra is. Fresh, tangy, and so creative. Every bite is filled with flavor and really makes you think, how did Chef Sri achieve this taste? I can’t remember the last time I had such good South Indian food (outside of my own mothers kitchen). The service is fantastic and the ambiance/decor is comforting and inviting. I personally loved the lighting!

Kinara Fusion Kitchen

Just had dinner at this restaurant. Food was amazing. Waitress missed our order for the wings before the dinner. Staff was courteous and appologized for that and took care of the issue. We were happy with the customer service. Their good customer service is the reason for me to giving this review. In most halal places , good  customer service is hardest to find but this one is not one of those.

Great service and great food. Not a huge fan of spicy food and our waiter was able to accommodate me. A little pricey but you expect that when your in SF and cost of goods have gone up. Thumbs up from me!

First of all, you NEED to try the 69 chicken! And the Green Lantern chicken too! Definitely the best Indian food in the City by far. The owners are very nice people who never fail to show the best hospitality available. If you are looking for your next favorite SF food getaway, this is it.

Everything about this place is amazing from the ambience to the food and owners. Clean, and friendly staff. Decent prices. Unique touch to everything. “Insta” worthy. This place would 100%%%%%%% be the IT place in any city like Dallas. Thank you!!

I'm giving 4 stars only because the wait took quite a while. We arrived around 9:00 PM and didn't eat till after 10:00 PM. However, totally worth the wait!!! Our waitress was sweet, knowledgeable of the dishes & their ingredients. Nice atmosphere, and the food was just amazing - best Indian food I've ever had. Creative dishes with fantastic flavor. I highly recommend checking this place out!
