The food is amazing but be wary of small portions. My friends and I were a little disappointed by the size of the plates that came but the quality was amazing. Any of the lamb dishes are amazing and I recommend being adventurous and ordering momo flavours you normally wouldnt get Also make sure you order rice separately bc it does not come with dishes. read more

This place is D E L I C I O U S! Came here by accident when San Tung was closed for Christmas and y'all there IS A JESUS -- SUCH A GEM! We ordered the samosa chaat, chicken momo chili, lamb tikka masala, garlic naan, basmati rice, and kabuli naan. All of the food was seasoned phenomenally, came out piping hot, and lasted about six seconds on the plate. Total came to just shy of $54 -- LETS DO IT AGAIN! The chicken momo chili was for sure a standout and the naan was fluffy and delicious -- 20/10 300% recommend read more

Ordered some food for take out, and as I was holding the bag of food walking out it felt like I almost touched fire. Not kidding, the food was nice and hot which means it was freshly made and just came out of the stove. As I was driving home, the smell that was coming out from the bag was making my already grumbling stomach grumble HARDER. The aroma of this food was just AMAZING. First thing I did when I got home? RIPPED open that bag. Took my first bite of paneer tikka masala with some rice and naan. YUMMMMM so creamy and garlic naan was so garlicy. Masala was not as tangy as traditional tikka masala, but still just as tasty. I also got the bhindi masala and veggies were so fresh. However, the only thing I wish more about this spot is if they added a bit more salt? Is it just me or I felt like the dishes were missing savoriness? Regardless, the flavors of the dishes were delicious and all the spices were brought to life. Thanks for satisfying my cravings, Gurung Kitchen! read more

Bad experience with the desk staff left me with a bad taste for this place, I was in the area and placed an Ubereats order, I was at the restaurant a few minutes later, granted that I was there pretty quick, what followed was not very customer welcoming. The waiter on the cashier's desk incredibly curt and disinterested, upon arrival, there was no acknowledgement or greeting/cordiality, instead I had to eventually ask if my order was ready and the waiter barely looked and with a wave of hand asked me to wait (literally one couple in the whole restaurant apart from me). Either was just either having a bad day or has "selective" manners coz he seemed very cordial with the other patrons. I will most certainly recommend not trying them or giving them your business if you experience the same. The food was a mix, I really like the chaat item, but the noodle dish was a little bland. read more

Was seated immediately by a server. Our food came promptly as there were only a few other patrons. We came in at the tail end of the lunch special so my daughter enjoyed her full meal. She didn't prefer the spicy samosa sauce as it was plain. I loved the sweet sauce and my tofu Saag was delicious and a good size serving. Can't mess up Naan, which the lunch special came with butter Naan, and I ordered the garlic Naan. I asked for alternative milk, (lactose intolerance) for the masala Chai but they don't have any. The complimentary cucumber lemon water is perfect. We enjoyed our food. read more

The food was so good. The service was polite and the ambience was meh. But the food makes this place worth a trip. Samosa Chat It was so good, get this dish. Gobi Manchurian The cauliflower was cooked perfectly, but I didn't love the Manchurian sauce. I'd have liked to see more dark soy sauce, Chinese vinegar, spicy chilli/garlic sauce, and scallions in addition to the tomato in the Manchurian sauce. It was too much like ketchup! Naan We loved the crispy yet pillowy naan and the pudhina paratha here. Veg Jhol Momo So good. Dumpling texture and flavor was Soo good and the gazpacho like soup it came in was very satisfying. Paneer Tikka masala - really appreciated that the paneer was pan fried prior to being added to sauce, made this creamy dish even more special Chai This chai was made freshly for us and it was just perfect. Warm, spicy, slightly sweet...so good. read more

Service seemed good. Food freshness and taste below avg or poor quality. Never going back. Actually, I would not eat for free at this place. Flavorless. Ratio of ingredients out of balance. Items ordered: Gobi munchurian. - ok Momos - not freshly steamed. Filling not tasty. Paneer Tikka kabab - raw marination. That too flavorless. Served like a cold dish. Paneer kadhai - completely unacceptable. Indian breads - ok I have not eaten at ny worse place. I bet they don't have their real chef anymore. Or someone is pretending to be a chef. Just a rip off for vegetarian food. I don't know how the meat dishes taste. I don't want to find out. Ambiance was watered down. Like a self serve joint. read more

Perhaps I ordered on a really off night. I ordered mainly appetizers - vegetable pakoras (which were not horrible, but passable), chicken soup (reasonable), Gobi Manchurian (a cauliflower dish that I was most looking forward to - it was mushy and not the tasty dish I'd been expecting). I also got a samosa chaat (meh). It's rare that I'm left so disappointed with a meal but my overall impression was well it "is" food, though even that is perhaps too flattering. read more

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.

We ended up leaving immediately because the entire experience felt unpleasant before we even got seated. For a restaurant in San Francisco, especially one representing Indian hospitality, I really expect a more organized and respectful front-of-house experience. Clear signage, a proper check-in system, and basic courtesy from hosts would go a long way.
