    Butter Chicken
    Chad M.

    Amazing service. Our waitress was very helpful and accommodating. We had a party of 8. We ordered several dishes extra spicy. Food was good. The chili pakora was fantastic. Butter chicken was my favorite. A few others preferred the Korma. It's not my favorite Indian food in the Bay Area but it is good. Worth a visit if you are craving Indian in the mission.

    Omg yum, I think this is my new favorite Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Service is fantastic and space is clean, spacious, and quiet enough to have a conversation. We ordered a rose, appetizer platter, paneer saagwala, lamb biryani, and a paratha. Everything was so incredibly fresh and the saagwala in particular tasted incredible. The plates look average size, but they're actually really filling because the chef is so generous with the proteins. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and clean as well. Not oily whatsoever. Really loved being able to taste all the spices and ingredients so distinctly. We were blown away. Everyone here is so kind and friendly and the food spectacular. We truly had a wonderful experience from the moment we set foot into the restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful date night!! We'll be back very soon :)

    Chicken Tikka Masala

    tldr amazing indian/pakistani food in the heart of the mission with standout fusion-y dishes like the paneer tikka masala biryani and samosa chaat one of my Pakistani friend's favorite spots in the city and justifyingly so! We ordered the samosa chaat, paneer tikka masala biryani (secret menu item/delivery menu), and chicken tikka masala! All dishes were amazing and had great flavor. samosa chaat was a fun play on samosa and had a great spicy chutney on top and a great way to kick off the meal chicken tikka masala had some dark meat and lots of sauce that could soak up in the buttery fresh naan paneer tikka masala biryani is definitely the stand out dish as it combines the best of two dishes - biryani and tikka masala! paneer was nicely seared and flavors were decadent and flavorful staff is great there and attentive for the most part! the restaurant is huge and has a lot of tables perhaps why they are considering shutting down but hopefully have the funds to open in a smaller place. wishing them well as the food is great!!! food 5/5 for creativity service 4/5 ambiance 4/5 value 5/5

    After almost 20 years, this San Francisco staple was on the verge of closing for good but has thankfully managed to keep their doors open so they can keep serving up the tastiest Indian/Pakistani food in the city. Stop by Aslam's Rasoi the next time you're in the mood for a fresh and flavor packed dinner. And don't forget to ask for their new mango lychee drink - it's one of the tastiest new items on their menu.

    Chicken Biryani

    Some of the best Pakistani/indian food in the bay! The pakoras were my favorite part of the meal. They were breaded lightly, and yet were unbelievably crispy! The chicken and lamb are juicy and full of flavor with an enjoyable level of spice. The biryani is not real dum biryani, but the rice is still flavorful and quite good considering. The servers are attentive and friendly and their interior space is huge. If you love dhaba style food (pakwan, shalimar, karimi) but want to go a step up in flavor and service, this is the place to go!

    So happy to be back here at one of my favorite restaurant in the city. Aslam Rasoi is always a hit if you're craving for some North Indian paki food. The service is great here especially the waiter and waitress that works here. Ambiance is awesome! And we got so lucky today with VIP parking in front. Chicken tandoori and Tikka masala is always a must here!

    The food is delicious. Best tiki masala I've ever tasted. The employees are great and have a very positive and pleasant attitude. The restaurant is very nice. From the bar to the table setting. I have recommended this place to a few people and they love it.

    They now have Tikka masala fries!!! And they are the best I've taste!! Staff is super friendly and it's a big space so I didn't feel cramped eating my food.

    Garlic and Plain Naan, Chicken and Fish Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chixken, and Chicke Briani Rice.

    Great service, great food, great ambiance! Everything was on point. We were greeted immediately with a smile and escorted to a table right away. We ordered the Garlic and Plain Naan, Chicken Briani Rice Chicken and Fish Tikka Masala, Lamb Vindaloo, and Tondoori Chicken. You have to come check them out. You will not be disappointed.

    The garlic naan, seafood tandoori along with the lamb was so great! Fun atmosphere!

    Jalebi Street has been highly recommended to me by multiple vegetarian and non-vegetarian friends,…read moreso I suggested it as the dinner portion of our regular try-all-the-bars-listed-in-this-one-book nights (that night's bar was Zam Zam). We ordered a bunch of fried things and enjoyed it all. Very flavorful and well executed. The friends did not recomend the actual jalebis, but I insisted on ordering one because of the name and really liked it.

    Jalebi Street might be the most authentic Indian restaurant in San Francisco…read more * Chole bhature (5/5): Soft bhature with well-spiced chole, accompanied by the snap of raw red onion. It felt like I was back in Delhi! * Palak paneer (5/5): So many other places get this wrong, either the paneer quantity is lacking or they don't use mustard oil when making it. Thankfully, Jalebi Street knocked this out of the park. Now, just add makki di roti and I'll be back every weekend! * Vada pav (5/5): To be honest, I'm not the biggest vada pav fanatic, but this is probably the best one I've had outside of India. * Onion kachori (3/5): Good, but nothing to write home about. To be honest, it was a little too spicy, even for me. * Mango lassi (4/5): Not too sweet, with just the right amount of tartness. * Masala soda (4/5): Why is this such a rarity at Indian restaurants in the US when every place back home has this on the menu? It was delicious, but way too expensive (almost 8 bucks). We are definitely going to be back, especially since we committed the cardinal sin of not trying the jalebi at Jalebi Street.

However, their food is always delicious and packed with meat! The lamb biryani is easily shareable between 3-4 hungry adults. Can't wait to return back!
