Authentic homemade Punjabi food. Consistent dishes, from turkey keema to raw pepper cabbage salad to many others. Hand roasted rotis and fresh actual masala tea with Parle bisc. Their strength is not trying to make fake dishes like butter chicken, or attempting to make South Indian food. Fresh and delicious! read more

Pathetic chicken biryani. I have never had chicken biryani with cauliflower , carrots and peas. They sent me left over veggie biryani with pieces of chicken. After an hour: I have an upset stomach now. This was for sure leftover stuff read more

Kasa Indian Eatery - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Had a good experience at Kasa Indian Eatery on Castro. The staff were friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to, which made everything feel relaxed and welcoming. The menu has a nice variety, and the food was decent overall, though the quality could be a bit more consistent or elevated to really stand out. Nicely decorated beautiful Ganesha surrounded. One small suggestion: it would be nice to have the option of beer that isn't served ice cold. Overall, it's a solid, easygoing spot with great service, worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

I really like the items offered on the menu, but I came here a couple of weeks ago and got the chicken tikka masala wrap and it actually made my tummy really hurt. If I come back, I think I'll try something else on the menu. Other than that, they have a self order kiosk, which is convenient. The place is beautiful and very clean. read more

I was around the area looking for a place to eat. I came across this Indian eatery. When you order, it's self-service. My order took about 15-20 minutes. The food had good flavor. They also have a vegan&gluten free section on their menu. Couldn't sit down at the restaurant but there's a lot of seating on the inside and outside. read more

Good eats. Thank you for donating to Food Runners! Community commitment. Good for takeout

Buckets of salt in the Chana, Gobi aloo and I'm guessing everything else. Seriously over the top. Too bad because that's the main issue. This place used to be good, as I recall. Inedible now. read more

A 3.5 for food and a 4 for their chai. I love their chai and how strong it is - you can get it hot or cold. It's pretty close to a flavorful HK milk tea (iykyk). As for food I ordered the Thali with two entrees, the chicken tikka masala and lamb curry. I enjoyed the lamb curry a lot but thought the portions were too small and lacked variety of sides compared to other Thali places I've tried. Order at the kiosk or cashier. No cash. The fresh flowers on each table is a nice touch. I won't be back for the food but I will come back for the chai. read more

Kasa Indian Eatery - Thali with chicken tikka masala and lamb curry - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Got the chicken tikka roll and an iced chai. The roll was not flavorful and it didn't taste like chicken tikka or anything remotely Punjabi - the sauce was totally off - no spices and was watery. The only saving grace was that it was priced reasonably given its location and the chai was also decent. read more

The other day I wanted some tea after my lunch and walked up to this place before my meeting. It took about 25min to get my tea order. There wasn't anyone in the restaurant. The tea came with 2 parle G at a whopping price $5.44 . The tea tasted good but tad too sweet. They sell ready to make tea packets and it says on the cover that it would take 5min to make tea. The ambience is beautiful. Will try their food when I am not crunched for time read more

Don't be like me---don't forget the check in gives you one free samosa with purchase! I literally checked in and forgot to redeem it! Came in because they had a sign in front that said "best chai." That sounded like a challenge I was willing to take. The Chai was really good, I would definitely buy it again. The mango Lassi at around $7 was a miss. Super bitter. Like it tasted really sour and bitter all at once. Like 2 1/2 stars. It wasn't a pleasurable drink Their chai was amazing. I got the cold chai. 4 stars great! Service was super slow and not very friendly, and I didn't try their food. read more

I work at a neighborhood bar in the Castro and was craving Indian food to go. When it came time to paying the bill, I was told that if I wanted to pay cash, I would need to pay the exact amount. So I walked over to Dumpling King and gave them cash, meaning no service fee for them but included a fat tip for the server. This is just not for Kasa but to other businesses who have partnered with big tech and decided cold hard cash isn't good anymore. You just lost my business. read more

We love this place. They have the best kati rolls i have ever had. Love the fact that this place is woman owned too!! Got to meet the owner. She is lovely. Kasa is always clean, well staffed and the food is super tasty. I often get the chicken tikka masala roll (small) and a kachumber salad. The chicken is very well seasoned and so tender. I love the accompanying sauce and the pickled onions. i wish the kachumber did not have carrots but that's just my personal distaste for carrots. Kasa is a must try for yummy, well priced indian food. read more

Intrigued by a Taco Tuesday offering, I wandered into Kasa and was looking at the various taco offerings before I remembered: The things I like swaddled in a tortilla are Mexican in origin. Hard pivot to the rest of the menu. My background isn't in design but I appreciate a menu that's easy to navigate and Kasa's could use some revision. I settled, eventually, on a 1/2-sized entree (Karahi Paneer) plus naan with which to sop it up. Kasa's web site speaks of vibrant flavors and fresh-ground spices. Others have remarked that the food isn't oily, as some assess Indian cuisine to be. Though my sampling of the menu was small and though I didn't dislike the Karahi Paneer, describing it as vibrantly flavorful would be inaccurate. It wasn't oily but nor was it flavorful. It was fine stopping far short of delicious. The hot, spongy naan proved a winning accompaniment. The overall yelp assessment of Kasa appears to be about 3.5 stars which feels right. This wasn't the best Indian fare I've eaten but it was good enough and I'd not be averse to sampling more widely from the menu to see if their other offerings pack more of a punch. read more

Kasa Indian Eatery - 1/2-size Karahi Paneer + Naan - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

I, in all my life, have never made my homemade masala chai as bold and flavorful as Kasa's best in the City by the Bay. At first, I started with Blue Lotus chai made with star anise, and it had come out just plain spicy chai after my successful homemade brew. Next was both the masala chai spices and loose leaf Assam black tea leaves I bought from Rainbow Grocery Co-op. After my experimental brew, it came out a less spicy, less flavorful hot chai. So I thought I would turn to Kasa Indian Eatery. The way Kasa's chai wallah preps her chai, it's magically a real deal in the first few sips, but not as spicy as I expected. It's enough to conjure up the image of Mumbai's busiest streets. I will definitely have another cup of Kasa's Garam chai the next time I visit! If they have enough pouches to sell out, I might be one of the chai lovers to have that. Cheers! read more

So incredibly delicious! It has become a tradition to have Kasa cater our holiday party. They are incredibly easy to work with, the food is always ready on time, it's easy to accommodate all dietary needs and all guests love it! Plus they give a nonprofit discount. Thank you Kasa from CASA! read more

The music they play is literally awful. I dined in there twice and the music makes you feel like you are in a horror house! That said, however, they literally have the exact same flavorfulness as well as that harmonious tastefulness of that phenomenal Indian Chai, to which I have literally been introduced years ago by a previous roommate of mine, namely Aaki. I've had the same chai many times in Pakwan in San Francisco as well, however Kasa's version of it is almost the same as Aaki's version, which my tastebuds were originally programmed by. They also serve it with 2 pieces of Parle C biscuits, which could not be farther beyond 'Cute' and thoughtful! Despite the terrible music, they deserve my 5 stars for the yummy stimuli they caused. read more

Kasa Indian Eatery - Eric's Chai experience @ Kasa Chai - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

We decided to try this place for Restaurant Week, but we had to pick up the food since the restaurant wasn't open because of COVID-19 and the code wasn't working on the restaurant website to have it delivered. Also, we had a hard time finding parking that we had to double park while I got the food. However, we didn't have to wait long when we went to pick it up. For Restaurant Week, they had a $40 Family Meal that included: 1 Yogi Salad, 2 containers Cinnamon scented Basmati Rice, 4 Samosas with Chutney, 4 Large Naan, and 4 entrees of your choice. We decided to get the Mango Lassi and Kasa Chai drinks, the Gulab Jamun (traditional Indian Donut), as well as the Chicken Tikki Masala, Paneer Masala, Turkey, and Lamb as the entrees for the Family Meal. The drinks were okay. The Mango Lassi was kind if like having a fruity milkshake except with Yogert. Also, I wished it had more Mango flavor. As for the Kasa Chai, I have tasted better Chai Teas. I was hoping to have a really good Chai Tea because the signs and website was saying it was good, but it was a let down. The Gulab Jamun (traditional Indian Donut) was yummy. It was basically like a donut hole in sweet Rose Syrup. It was sweet but thankfully not too much. It was also really good warmed up. Just wish there was more than just two for the price I paid. The Chicken Tikki Masala and the Paneer Masala were yummy. It was your usual good tasting Masala sauce. Both the Grilled Chicken and the Paneer (Cheese) was good and had lots of flavor from the Masala Sauce. The Keema Muttar was okay, but it lacked flavor especially compared to the other entrees we picked. This needed more seasoning to add more flavor since the minced Turkey is so lean. The Lamb Curry was our favorite since it was flavorful and was thankfully not gammy. Also, the slow cooked Lamb and Potatoes were very tender and soft. The Yogi Salad had Salad Greens, Raw Vegetables, Rajma Beans, Corn, went well with the Citrus Dressing especially with the crunchy Fried Chickpea Puffs that gave it some texture. It made a combination and was a decent sized Salad. The Samosas were pretty good. They had a little kick to them, but thankfully not too much. Also, they had a nice flavor and were really good when hot. As for the sides, the Naan (Indian flat bread) was really big like the size of a tortilla for a Burrito. It definitely filled a plate and was as big as my head. Also, there was some nice char to the Naan, but I have tasted better. The Basmati Rice was soft and similar to other Basmati Rice. Overall, this was a great deal for a family of 3-4 people for Restaurant Week since it is very filling and was $25 off. Also, the best thing was the Lamb that was full of flavor. read more

Situation - I ordered a Super Chicken Tikka Masala Kati Roll, which is essentially a burrito - My last visit was in June 2020 after not having gone for several years Overall - The size of the Kati Roll / burrito was good, but the taste was just okay, probably something I wouldn't order again - When I did have the normal Kati Roll's, several years ago, I remember them being tastier than the burrito-sized roll - During socially-distanced times, they do have very clear marking on where to stand, order, and pay read more

Went for lunch there. Order aloo tiki chaat, the tikki were frozen tikki and that too they served without properly cooking and were cold. Roti Katli was completely soggy and the filling (cauliflower) was completely bland. We couldn't even eat, we left the place after just taking a bite. Save your health and money. read more

There were 2 layers of aluminum foil and they were all spill proof. Very thoughtful system. Def recommend trying it out. read more

The curry was on the light side but it was ok, pretty decent. The lamb was very good, great texture for curry, with some fatty bits and juicy. The problem was the rice, which I kind of feel bad to rate it three stars. This was a delivery, the rice was cold but that's not the reason. It was in chunks, obviously the restaurant didn't take time to prepare it. And worse is that it wasn't broken rice but probably something like jasmine rice, which is unusual for curry dishes. I don't know the reason but seems lack of attention like every done as a cafeteria. Price is quite fair, that's probably why. Overall pretty decent actually. read more

This place just gets worse by day. 15 years ago was much better than it is today. The food, it doesn't matter what you order is always bland . Indian food is spiced and full of flavors. The customer service is horrible, So much like the food. I said "thanks, thank you. I did not hear no word back. Before anyone could go around and see what you like or want to eat.now, you depend from the pictures and words on wall because they blocked the food. read more

I can't believe I haven't tried this place before. It's absolutely top tier, and some of the best dishes are kinda unique in SF, afaik. It's probably one of the top three takeout experiences I've had this year. If you remember when Tilak was new and it was still pretty good for a couple of specific dishes, Kasa's samosa chaat makes me remember that a bit, but just for the first bite, then it becomes clear that this place is miles better. Fast, friendly, good portions, properly spiced and properly spicy delicious food. I will be back very soon. read more

The food here is good. It could be better but good enough. First time ordering here. I don't want to say the food is just good because I've only had the masala and garlic naan. I like the naan that's crispy a little outside and soft inside but this was just fluffy but good. I ordered something else and it else a bit salty the more I ate. Good price though for a la carte. Good snacks or a quick bite. read more

Used to be one of my favorite spots. Regrettably I would advise folks to avoid it now. The Kati roll is an outrageously poor value at $10. Absurdly small. The samosa shows 2 when ordering via caviar/DoorDash. But you will only get one. Deceptive. The light snack in the attached image will run you $16 before any tip or other fees. read more

Kasa Indian Eatery - Roti Kati Roll, Samosa Cravings This is $16 worth of food? Yikes. What a poor value. Hand included for scale. - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Good food for a reasonable price. Very hit or miss, some things are good, but others are not so great. I'd stick to the dry foods like chicken tikka, samosas, chai, but be cautious with the curries, they can be a little blander/watery. read more

Not sure what changed at Kasa around 2019, but it is now bad in terms of the food quality. It makes me sad to write this poor review because it was once a favorite restaurant choice in our family. I walked to the bathroom and saw a stack of ready-made, packaged flat breads (it looked more like a tortilla and not roti). My dining partners curry appeared to have been previously frozen (even if it wasn't frozen, there was a clear change in the quality). Kasa is different now, and it is not in a good way. Hopefully management takes to heart the constructive feedback, and makes some changes. read more

Devoured two kati rolls (paneer masala and channa masala) with a chai and immediately ascended to American-style Indian food heaven. The spicy sauce is actually spicy and the chai isn't too sweet (and yes, that's a good thing). You order from a kiosk so you can easily make modifications and choose fillings/sauces. The interior is cozy, but snag a table outside on a nice day and enjoy the neighborhood sights. Excellent spot for a quick, delicious bite. read more

So, this is a tough one as I love Kasa's food and have been going there for years. So, that alone gets it to 2 stars. Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience on December 23. We got our order at 8:37 PM. The person working the register told us that they are placing the order in to go containers as they close at 9:00 PM but that we could eat there. We enjoyed our Kathi rolls and Thali and were starting to finish up when the clock struck 9:00. Immediately, the person at the register told us that they were closed and we needed to leave. We said ... just a few minutes as we were finishing up. She came back a minute later, told us that we were trespassing, and threatened to call the police. Moreover, a friend of hers entered the establishment, came up to our table, and began yelling at us to get out. It was mayhem. We placed our food in the trash receptacles and walked out, still being yelled at by her friend who did not even work there. I've never been accused of trespassing at any time in my life, much less 2 minutes after closing time at an establishment where I dropped $70. This is sad as the food is pretty great. read more
