We went here to celebrate my brother's birthday for dinner yesterday and we were so delighted! The thing I loved most was the variety in their dishes. Sometimes when you go to an Indian restaurant it's like the same sauces just on different proteins or veggies but not here! We ordered the shrimp mango special which had a lovely egg concoction you poured over the thinnest crisp topped with shrimp and mango. We got the veggie sampler which came with 4 different dishes. We also ordered poori which was bright and refreshing and the lamb shoulder which was sooo succulent and tender. I'm definitely coming back! Service was great and the vibes and decor though a little much on the macrame was still totally welcoming and gave the high white ceilings some much needed texture. read more

Must make reservations. We went to Copra on a Wednesday and it was packed by 6pm. Service was on point. Our glasses were never empty. My friend and I didn't care for our alcoholic drinks, the flavors didn't come through. Food was fantastic. I especially loved the okra and peach curry. I've never had anything like it. I am taking points off on the halwa. It was ridiculously sweet. I couldn't have more than 1 bite. Flan on the other hand was our favorite. Overall, great place to try. read more

Food was good, but $125 for the mandatory pre fixe was too expensive, especially for the vegetarian food. Service was extremely chaotic and disorganized with 5 different people bringing the dishes out and most of them didn't know which items were on the vegetarian vs the carnivores pre fixe menu, they would just say "it's for the table". This made it difficult, chaotic and confusing for the entire table. The service/delivery of the items was often very poor. I asked what one of the first courses was, because a busboy just tossed on our table with no indication of what it is and when I asked him "what is this please?" he said only one word. "Pepper", and then walked away. Seriously. For a meal that was CRAZY expensive you'd expect a much higher level and more consistent service experience. The food was delicious but portions on the pre fixe were VERY small. Literally, 1 shrimp and one oyster. That's a corse. The wine pairing was an absolute joke too as the pours were truly some of the smallest I've ever seen. 3 small sips per "glass". Absurd and comical was the entire tables opinion. Order by the glass, do not do this rip off wine pairing. It was EXTREMELY expensive overall will the mandatory gratuity for poor service and extra sf mandate fees etc. Even though the food was good, everyone in our party agreed that because of the awkward, chaotic, inconsistent and carelessly low effort pre fixe menu service experience, along with the ridiculously small wine pairing pours, none of us will be rushing back in here again if ever. Strongly do not recommend coming in group of 6 or more where you're only offered the pre fixe menu and there are definitely better service and values at other sf Indian spots. read more

I'd heard SO much about this place so my expectations were through the roof. The place was beautiful and the aesthetic was perfect. To start, the rasam poori was an insane version of pani puri, with actual passion fruit seeds inside. This was definitely everyone's favorite dish. The Thayir Vadai chaat was yum, and the fried chicken was really flavorful and thankfully boneless for easy eating. For mains, the black cod was amazing! So much flavor and it melted in your mouth. The dosa was also good but nothing to write home about. Overall, I appreciate the creative twists on South Indian food they do, but I wouldn't say it's amazing. read more

We both thought this restaurant was amazing on all level in all categories. my friend literally said " No notes" ! I tend to agree but me being a foodie of course I have notes and all positive. This food, decor and service was unique, elegant, superior then any other Indian inspired food I have ever had! It was bold, colorful and extremely flavorful! The service was definitely 5 star, the decor is absolutely next level and takes you right out if this country. Its felt like I was having an experience not just a dinner. Highly recommend! read more

Had an excellent first visit to Copra. Having been to Ettan, expectations were definitely high. I would highly recommend a visit to Copra. The food was very well prepared and presented, and the staff were helpful throughout the meal. You will need more spoons than you expect, and that isn't a bad thing. There are just so many sauces that come as part of each dish! Had the clarified lassi punch, which was quite balanced. Favorite dishes from the night included the black cod, the fried chicken, and the dosa. Portions were well sized, and everything was flavorful and seasoned nicely. Never felt rushed throughout the night. Had a leisurely meal. Liked that they boxed up the leftovers on our behalf. Certainly not a cheap meal, but one well worth the investment. After tax and tip ended up being about $90/person. read more

I've been to plenty of fine dining Indian restaurants before, notably Semma and Bungalow in NYC, but this was arguably better than both.We were seated promptly to our reservation time and decided to order à la carte. The space was pretty busy but didn't take away from the expensive ambience you'd expect with this price tag. For food, the bone marrow here is a MUST GET!!! The flavor was so spicy, smoky, and authentic and I was scooping up every part of the curry to eat with my paratha. The dosa was also super crispy, and I really enjoyed the aloo filling. The black cod was another stand-out item, super flavorful and it came wrapped up in banana leaf. I was pretty scared of getting a drink because they all sounded so spicy, but the darjeeling bling was the right level of sweet to sip on during the meal. read more

Copra: being a South Indian myself, I had to try this unique take on South Indian dishes by Chef Srijith Gopinathan. I do have to say I'm a vegetarian, and the menu seemed heavy on meat dishes in general. But of the items we tried, the crispy sambal peppers was out of this world. The Dahi Vada was decent. As main item we had kurma, Kerala porotta and appam, porotta was spectacular. Kurma was ok, I feel it would've been better just to have the authentic Kerala kurma. My son had plain dosa and it was wonderful, so was the coconut chutney that came with it. I also loved the filter coffee. I did not like my cocktail (some jaggery cocoa thingy) much. As dessert my son had the peach sorbet which he enjoyed, we also tried another item which had a cardamom taste, my husband enjoyed it. Customer service is slow but respectable. Overall promising and unique take on South Indian food. read more

The ambiance is great! Very aesthetically pleasing and decorated beautifully. The service was also pretty fast. The restaurant itself is pretty hard to get into so make sure to have a reservation well in advance. For apps, we got recommended the Rasam poori, Vadai chat and shrimp vennai roast. We thought the Rasam poori was okay. The chat and shrimp were definitely worth getting. For the entrees, we got the black cod, gongura korma and masala dosa and chicken biryani. The gongura dish surprised us all and became our favorite! Second would be the fish and then Malasa dosa. The chicken biryani wasn't our favorite. Overall, good place to try for sure! Pricing can be around 25-30 per entree and $15-20 for the apps so definitely recommend going in a group so you can try multiple things. read more

I've had dinner at Copra multiple times and have tried at least half of the dishes on the menu. Everything I've tasted so far has all been delicious. You really can't go wrong here. The food here is innovative, full of flavor, and high quality. Cocktails are pretty unique and tasty as well. Ambiance is elevated, although I prefer the main lower level floor more than upstairs. Highly highly recommend making a reservation because this place does get booked up. read more

I am always a bit skeptical about expensive indian cuisine - however I really did enjoy the food here! The sauces were amazing and a good amount of vegetarian options. For two it was close to $150 so it is pricy. I don't know if I would go back but it was great to try once. Lots of ceiling on two floors and very beautiful interior. The service is great as well. read more

Reservations are a must- we went on a Tuesday for dinner and it was packed. The space is gorgeous and transportive. We shared much of the menu, including the mysore masala dosa, shrimp vennai roast, okra and grilled peach mappas, and the "God's Own" coconut variation. Everything was fantastic and unique. Overall bold, elegant Indian food and absolutely worth trying. read more

For me, the restaurant week menu was really disappointing. At $90 (the priciest option of all), I was expecting so much more. The crab vada (not pictured) was literally the size of a half dollar coin. It was basically a tiny crab cake. I thought the poori were tasty, but someone in my party said it tasted like "drinking salsa" and I have to agree. It was nice there were a few bonus courses (benne dosa and a green mango thogayial). I liked the maddur vada the most, but the dish overall was too salty. I was excited for asparagus benne dosa to highlight the spring produce, but it was very bland. The tomato sauce rescued the dish, but the other sauces were not my favorite. Finally, the black cod pollichatu was very tender. But, it had literally maybe two bites of protein total. The sauce was also extremely spicy, so some people in my group couldn't even stomach it. The sauce was flecked with whole spices that were unpleasant to bite into (green cardamon and cloves). The jigarthanda had an off putting smokey flavor, which I think was from the nannari (the waitress said it was like root beer). To be fair, it may be the case that I just don't really enjoy this genre of cuisine. The textures of each dish and flavors were not enjoyable for me. The ambience would make for a good date night or special occasion dinner. The service was very friendly and fast, but I personally won't be back. read more

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. read more

If your baseline for Indian food is heavy curries that put you into a food coma by 9 PM, please delete your assumptions and get a reservation here immediately. Copra is an absolute masterclass in coastal South Indian cuisine that completely recalibrates your palate. The Fillmore space itself is gorgeous--dripping with lush greenery and high-end tropical energy--but the absolute culinary obsession happening on the plates is the real story. We ran through a massive spread, and honestly, the flavor profiles are loud, complex, and unapologetically bold. The Standout Drinks -Jaggery Sour It hits that perfect balance of sweet and tart, with the jaggery giving it a deep, complex molasses-like richness that pairs beautifully with the spice of the food. -Salty City: refreshing and addicting Food hits -Mysore Masala Dosa: My personal favorite of the night. The dosa itself has that elite, perfect crisp-to-chew ratio. Pair it with the tomato and coconut chutneys, a heavy dusting of podi, and that rich onion sambar, and it's pure perfection. -Thayir Vadai Chaat: A total texture bomb and another personal highlight. It's got this incredible contrast between the cool yogurt, sweet date chutney, and the crunch of the Madras mixture and cashews. -Varuval Sea Bass Collar: Absolutely phenomenal. The fish was cooked to absolute perfection under that heavily spiced varuval crust. The karavelli curry it sits in is incredibly rich, and pairing it with the clean, bright snowpea poriyal and basmati rice made it an elite main course. We also dug into the Shrimp Vennai Roast (smothered in a brown butter chili chutney that is pure crack) and the Slow-Cooked Octopus with that sharp jaffna rub and grapefruit. Dessert -Jigarthanda: You must save room for this. The frozen caramel milk bar combined with milk jam, nannari, and the crunch of candied cashews is elite-level dessert engineering. It's sweet, cooling, and the perfect antidote to the spice of the meal. Last but not least, you must try their filtered Indian coffee. It delivers a strong nutty subtle sweet flavor. Service is sharp, fast-paced, and genuinely passionate about the menu. It's vibrant, energetic, and entirely worth every bit of the hype. A shout out to Ser taking care of our group of 6. She helped us make decisions for orders as we were divided in what we want. Lol read more

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. read more

Love the ambience & decoration here, very tasteful & elegant. The service was good, food came in a timely manner. They never brought one of our dishes though... - The drinks were good, new flavors & tasty. Favorite was Darjeeling Bling. Lemon chilli was spicy & good, and Copra bloody had a good good flavor too. - Rasam Poori: it was tasty but too many nests for amount of goodies. It was a bit too cute. - Shrimp Vennai Roast: great flavor. Spicy but not too much, perfectly cooked & soft. Really enjoyed it. - Mysore Masala Dosa: good bread and potatoes. One of the chutney was great, one was ok and last one wasn't our flavor. - Chicken Biryani: we've had better. It had good flavors. The chicken was juicy & great flavor. It came with a sauce that added more flavor to it. - Lamb Shoulder Chettinad: it was cooked just right with good flavors & perfect amount of spicy for us. The parotta was so tasty we got a 2nd one. - Watalappan & Cardamon Pave: both deserts were good. read more

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! read more

What a bummer... Food: 4/5 Service: 1/5 (one star for waters being refilled) Ambiance: 4/5 (very loud) Minus a start for horrible policies and unapproachable management. Reservation for 2pm for the pre-fixe menu ($70pp) on a Sunday. We sat down and ordered at 2:15. We got the food fast but also was rushed through the meal. It was 3:00 and they were trying to take our plates. They started to remove plates we were actively eating off of within a hour of being sat. They took a FULL bowl of biryani that we hadn't even eaten from. We asked for boxes and were denied, "We don't pack up food." Excuse me? I just paid $70 for a full meal and you won't let me take the leftovers that I paid for? The server was not engaged, was not able to answer any questions about the food, cuisine or chef. Maybe they were trying to close down at 3? If so, don't take reservations at 2pm. I was SO EXCITED to try this place. What a huge disappointment. I will not be going back but I may order togo because it was quite tasty. read more

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. read more

10/10 must try elevated Indian cuisine experience in San Francisco. We were so impressed with the ambiance, beautiful high ceiling and natural decor. Well lit and open. The service we received was incredible and everyone was very attentive to our needs. Drinks menu was comprehensive and they have a beautifully staged bar. The non-alcoholic cocktail menu was the most impressive I've seen. Actual thought out mocktails served in real cocktail glassware - you don't even miss the alcohol. The honey dove was fantastic and the white Amrit as well. The cherry lift was also good. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Each dish is so thoughtfully curated with accoutrements like raita, chutney, or something special. Each dish is brought to the table with an explanation and instructions of the best way to enjoy it. Some of our favorites were: black cod, lamb, black truffle appam, rasam poori, the lettuce wrap appetizer, and all of the desserts. They even surprised us with a birthday scoop of peach sorbet ice cream with a candle and that was also yummy! Overall a lot of thought and care has gone into the menu, cocktails, hospitality experience, and vibe of this restaurant. We cannot wait to dine here again! read more

I was truly impressed by everything, from the interior design to the food and service. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary vacant building, but the moment you step through the doors, it feels like you've been transported to a whimsical wonderland. We were seated upstairs, and our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the drinks, food, and desserts. We ended up ordering nearly everything they recommended, and every dish was not only delicious but beautifully presented. Each plate felt like a work of art. There honestly wasn't a single thing I didn't enjoy. I'm usually not much of a dessert person, but their sorbet was hands down the best I've ever had. read more

Beautiful restaurant, pretty good food, but the service left us confused. We ordered the truffle egg appam, rasam poori, chutney palette, shrimp vennai roast, bone marrow, dosa, and the coconut dessert. In terms of food, I loved the dosa, and coconut dessert. Loved the flavor of the rasam poori but two of them had holes in the bottom and leaked as we poured. The bone marrow and shrimp vannai roast were good as well. Unfortunately, the chutneys were very similar to each other and the truffle egg appam tasted too strongly of coconut, and I could barely taste the truffle or the egg. But still overall very good. The service was another story. We felt like the food came out at unreasonable intervals. We got the egg appam, bone marrow, poori, chutney palette, and shrimp in rapid succession one after the other. It barely fit on our table-- plates were half hanging off the side of the table. We felt rushed to eat it all because things were getting cold. It also happened to the table next to us and they had to ask the waiter to take something back to the kitchen temporarily because they couldn't fit it on their table. It was very odd and unexpected for a restaurant like this. read more

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. read more

I usually don't leave negative reviews but this place was a disappointment. For a specialty Indian restaurant at Copra's price point, I expected much better. The service and atmosphere leaves much to be desired. Despite having a reservation, we waited 10 minutes for a hostess to come to the front waiting area and seat us. The tables are oddly configured so you're closer to people at the next table than the people you're sitting across from. This makes it harder to hear the people you're with :( The food isn't great either. If you want upscale Indian food with a similar fusion style and price point, you're much better off at Rooh or Ettan. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Very beautiful space with high ceilings and friendly staff. I sat at the bar with my partner for dinner and spent a lot of time just admiring the hardware of this place. It was busy inside and we had a reservation from maybe a week prior. The food was yummy and there were a lot of unique dishes! We got the shrimp vennai, which was very fragrant and flavorful. The fried chicken was a bit lackluster (great crisp and flavor but there was barely any chicken). The ictopus was also tasty and tender, and the cod was probably the most special dish (wrapped in leaf, came with a raisin coconut rice -- great flavor pairing). A great elevated spot for date night or to impress your friends. It's pretty pricey (like I wouldn't say I was full afterwards) but a good experience if you're looking to try something new read more

The servers did an excellent job at explaining what each dish was for us. We made a reservation for that evening, and weren't able to be seated until 15 minutes later. I usually don't mind waiting, but their entrance area is very cramped and there were four other parties waiting there with us. read more

Did the $90/person restaurant week menu that pulled from the regular menu but was more cost effective. The food was so good! The maddur vada melted in your mouth in such a warm, satisfying way. The accompanying green mango thogaiyal had a kick and was very well mixed, not too grainy. The crab cutlet was like a crispy crab cake. And the roasted neymeen had such a delicious flavor and was so tender. As was the thattukada fried chicken - crispy on top and tender inside, with coconut bits you could spoon on top of. Didn't personally love the God's Own dessert too much, but the clarified lassi punch cocktail with rye was so smooth and fantastic! Service was great and attentive and patient. The ambiance was amazing with plants and tall ceilings. read more

A truly unique dining experience. I can safely say there's nothing we had at dinner that I've had before. The textures and flavors were spot on, and the presentation was impressive. We were so excited when every dish came to the table. Our waitress was very sweet and definitely gave us great recommendations. We tried some dishes we wouldn't have initially gravitated to. The ropes and plants are really lovely. You can't help but keep looking around at the beautiful accents. Our cocktails were also really nice and unique. Definitely worth checking out!

What a gem! The outside is quite unassuming, we missed the door at first! But when you step inside it's a little oasis. The dining room is well laid out and even when fully occupied you still felt like you hade privacy for your conversations. Food was delicious and plentiful! Everything is served family style and "when ready". This means that all your dishes will likely end up on the table if you're not a fast eater. We ended up having every single dish we ordered fighting for space on the table, together with beer bottles. It was crowded... But hey, the food was great so we did not complain. Stuffed to the brim and very happy once we left. Biggest surprise of the evening: the ghost chili chutney was...mild! Woot?! Sure, it had all the flavors of ghost chili, but absolutely zero of the spice. A bit of a let down for those who love a nice kick to their food (like me). read more

My wife and I have been trying to come here for a while and finally made it! Be sure to make reservations, because it is a popular place and rightly so. The food is fantastic and definitely different than anything I've tried. They keep the traditional Indian dishes with a flavorful twist. What really captured me was that every bite was packed with flavor! Not sweat or salt, but the Flavor of the mango, coconut, spice! I loved it. We had the octopus, shrimp vennai roast, rasam poori, black cod, shrimp mango curry and lamb shoulder. The only complaint as to why I would not give it 5 stars and I would honestly find it difficult to come back is that it is UNBELIEVABLY loud!! The whole restaurant echos with everyone's conversations that you have to shout at the top of your lungs to speak with the person across from you. This honestly ruins the entire experience and makes me reconsider my next visit. I'm sure there are sound deafening material that can be added to the ceilings or walls. read more
