    CLEARED HOUSE...... everything was soooooo good. My favs were the rassam poori, fried crispy squids, the dosa and the blck cod. Mango Lassi cocktail, spectacular. Gods own country dessert is the most refreshing and unique thing ive had in a while. My fork was on the table and my hands were on the plate. Truly ate. But i didnt feel gross the next day??? Yummmmmm

    Fine dining Indian food in San Francisco right across the street from AMC/ Japantown. High ceilings with beautiful earthy decor. We came in on a Friday around 8:30 pm and was able to snag a table for two immediately. It was packed more lively than intimate. The food had the pops of spice and flavor that you would expect in Indian cuisine. Each dish was beautifully presented. It is on the higher end of price but I've seen higher in the city. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Not pretentious. Parking can be tricky. I was able to find street parking a couple streets down. There is a parking garage but it was full by the time we got there.

    Hello. Are you craving Indian food and want to try something new? Come with me to experience Copra in San Francisco. The first thing to order is the family style. This will give you an introduction to a variety of many Indian home cooked meals. First two dishes are the Gunpowder Goli Vada and Rasam Poori. I find that these dishes had so much spice and flavor. Next up, we have The Thattukada Fried Chicken. It was very crispy and savory. After that, we had the Dindigul Style Chicken Biryani, the Kerala Shrimp Marigo Curry, and the Beef Ularthiyathu. Every dish in this family style option was delicious and memorable. At the end of the course, we tried Cardamom Pave dessert. It was very sweet. We also tried a few drinks, such as the Honey Dove, Jaggery Sour, Emrich-Schonleber Monzinger 21 Riesling, and Watalappan. Overall, I recommend you come here with your special someone for a birthday celebration or an anniversary. Tina's Tip: Here is my tip. Make sure you reserve ahead of time as it can get very busy. Also, I would recommend doing the family style, so you can try more dishes. It's worth it.

    3.5 stars. We came for Restaurant Week and tried the $90 prix fixe menu. The restaurant interior is very different but nice. Staff was OK but our food was slow to come out of the kitchen. We saw a couple of tables where diners arrived after us and received their food way before us. The waitress at one point came over a couple of times to see if our dishes had arrived. We thought the portions were small for the price point. Most of the dishes had nice flavor but BFF had asked no spicy foods and several of the dishes were clearly spicy. My fav was the dosa and the tiny chocolate ice cream dessert was tasty. We liked the fried chicken which consisted of small pieces of chicken chunks but a nice crunchy crust. Drinks were good but my cocktail with turmeric took getting used to. It's a very popular place so reservations highly recommended.

    One of my favorite restaurants in SF. Consistently delicious, great service & ambiance, and I often bring out-of-towners here, as it's not too difficult to get a last-minute reservation. Must order dishes: - Perigord Black Truffle Soft Egg Appam - Black Cod Pollichathu - Rasam Poori - Vegetable of the day (3 dishes) - great flavors, love the variety paired with the other dishes

    Finally got to tick off Copra on my list! We ordered alacarte for 4 people and got 8 things (4 small plates, 3 entrees, 1 dessert). My favorites were the Masala Dosa, Rassam Puri, and Chutney Palette. Loved how many sauces and sides there were for different dishes! Everything is very flavorful and does not hold back on spice. My passes would be the Black Cod Pollichathu, Beef Ularthiyathu (roti was dense/dry). Definitely a beautiful restaurant with tall ceilings and very immersive decor. On the pricier side, so would recommend more-so for a nicer occasion!

    Copra has a chic lively, low lighting ambiance that's good for a small group to share dishes. It took us a bit to be seated despite having a reservation, and took a while until someone came to take our order but once we placed the order the food came very quickly. We got several dishes and the stand out one for us was the mackerel that came in a rich sauce. The side dishes were also delicious. The stewed beef is definitely a skippable item, it was quite dry and our group didn't love it. Overall we enjoyed the dishes and it's definitely a good time to come here and try several family style, but I don't feel like I'm in a rush to come back here.

    Indian food? Yes, please. This place is absolutely wonderful, so much so that its décor literally made me feel like getting married there. I love spaces with high ceilings where you can truly appreciate the scale and openness of the area, and this place delivers exactly that. The décor is beautiful, filled with lush plants that add freshness and elegance throughout the space. What really caught my attention was the service, which is excellent. Servers, bartenders, bussers, and food runners all work seamlessly together, everything is perfectly organized and flows effortlessly. It's an ideal spot to visit with friends and enjoy an amazing time. And the highlight for me: dessert. I tried two different ones.. I don't remember their names, but they were both absolutely delicious. A perfect ending to a truly lovely experience.

    As a so-cal er, I'm envious of the fine dine indian establishments popping up in the bay and have had this on my wishlist for so long. Went in on a weekend. Even with a reservation the wait lines had started to form before they opened at 5. It's clearly popular. Parking is a hassle like all of SF. Interiors are Tulum inspired, probably a nod to indian costal cuisine?! The mains are pretty sizeable and expensive so we decided to split multiple apps and perhaps a main between the 2. We had the koshmbiri wrap, chicken fry, prawn appetizer, masala dosa and some dessert. Everything was strictly ok, except the drinks which were bad. Everything felt muted and not punchy or impactful. While it's better than socal indian places by miles, it still isn't there yet. Also service lacks speed, detail, and care.

    Gorgeous interior and spectacular food! We had a couple of things to share, and we really loved the variety of things that were recommended. We started off with the shrimp, which was flavorful, and we opted to get the fried chicken after scouring reviews online. We were disappointed that it was a bit dry. The masala dosa was incredibly large and so fun to share - the sauces were incredible. I live so closely that I'll have to return to try their drinks and desserts as well!

    couldn't see a name on the outside of the restaurant, so it was mysterious, in a good way! The atmosphere is amazing with lots of great decor. One thing to note, if you want a quieter atmosphere, ask for a table upstairs. We started with the Orange Ruby (non alcoholic) and Yatri cocktails. Excellent taste on both. The server recommended for the two of us selecting two dishes, each from the small medium and large sections of the menu. - Swiss Chard Vada - nice spice kick, good texture - Gunpowder Goli Vadai - I was afraid this might be too spicy, but it was perfect. Great texture. Great coconut chutney accompanies this. - Hot Butter Squids - great, not chewy. A little spicy. - Thattkudada Fried Chicken - really yummy. Boneless. Loved the masala crumbs. - Southern Kerala, shrimp mango curry- really yummy. Liked the egg appam accompaniment. Lots of sauce, would've been great with rice to soak it up with. - Lamb Shoulder Chettinad - so tender! Boneless. Served with kal-dosai. Also lots of sauce, would've been so good to have some rice with this as well. For dessert, we split a watalappan. Super tasty, like a flan. Butterscotch cream with it was really good too. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. I think that coming when the restaurant opens for the evening probably helped to guarantee good food and service. Perhaps some of the other reviews that said otherwise were for diners who came when it was busier. It is a pretty expensive dinner, but I can definitely see why the price is so - there's a lot of care and creativity put into the dishes.

    We came to Copra on a Sunday evening without a reservation and were still able to get a table, which was a great start. Our waiter was wonderful--very friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. The interior is really unique, with a cool jungle-inspired design that makes the space feel lively and different from your typical restaurant. The food was vibrant and beautifully presented. It was my first time trying Southern Indian cuisine, and everything we ordered was flavorful and interesting. That said, while I enjoyed the experience and the quality of the food, it's not my absolute favorite spot. I would consider coming back again in the future, but it's not somewhere I'd rush to return to right away.

    This place was delicious!! Super cute interior decorations as well - love the aesthetic. We did family style and got the Southern Kerala Shrimp Mango Curry, Lamb Shoulder Chettinad, Rasam Poori, Thattukada Fried Chicken and Thayir Vadai Chaat. Our favorites were the shrimp mango curry and rasam poori, but everything else was yummy too! Great presentation/great service! I did try the Clarified Lassi Punch which was described like a mango lassi but I personally felt it was a little strong. Probably wouldn't order that again.

    Ask the Community - Copra

    How much does an average dinner cost? Appetizer, main, dessert.

    $150+

    Asking for a friend...does Copra do take-out or is it only dine-in?

    Definitely done-in. I think takeout is also available. However we dined in.

    Could a person dine alone here? Or are the dishes all family style?

    You can dine alone, for sure. Some of the plates are bigger than others, but all the food is reasonable size.

    For the dinner menu, is it a 3 course meal and you choose one item from each section? Does each item…

    No, the menu is a la carte

    Looking for a Safe parking place around?

    Across the street at the Japan Centre parking garage

    What kind of Jain options do they have (no onion, no garlic, no potatoes)?

    Not much

    Is this restaurant kid / toddler friendly?

    Hello, there wasn't a children's menu available, but I took both my kids (ages 7 and 2) and they had a wonderful time. The staff were welcoming and attentive to the kids. The restaurant is roomy and the noise level is loud so that helps.

    Do they have vegan items?

    yes - you need to ask when ordering

    Do they serve halal?

    Yes we do. Everything is certified Halal with the exception of the Bone Marrow & Rabbit dish. Please ask your server upon arrival as menu items do change and this information is current as of 9.20.23.

Starting off with what was good though, their mango lassi is tasty and momo chili dumplings are so flavorful with great texture. I would say they excel at their doughs in general because their naan was also great (especially the onion stuffed naan). Their Sewa/kale chaat was also passable (but would love if the kale pieces were bigger so that beans don't cause it to be as soggy after a while). That being said, it seems like they could do a little better with packing a flavor punch for their other dishes. Their shrimp tandoori was good but nothing to write home about. Lamb biriyani was also good but could've been stronger in flavor. Chicken tikka masala seemed like it was lacking something (but not sure what...), and the artichoke pakora didn't taste like artichoke? Thought it was still decent... I also think their tamarind chutney could be a bit thicker in consistency (maybe like that of the mango lassi), the mint chutney was nice.

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.
