We had to wait a while before the food started to arrive, which was not unexpected considering the size of our group and the amount of food that we ordered. I especially liked the chicken biryani and chicken chow mein. Some of the other dishes like the egg fried rice weren't quite to my liking, but that's why it was nice to have a good variety of dishes.

My recommendations: Spicy cauliflower: 5/5. These have a beautiful crispy covered in a vibrant spicy sauce. Delicious, not too spicy. Pork belly: 4/5. Crispy and flavorful. Samosa: 3.5/5. Good but had better. Fried chicken: 4/5. Huge portions of well seasoned crispy chicken. Always juicy and piping hot. The sauce pairs well. Chicken momo: 3.5/5. Very tasty. Once again, a winning sauce. I got the butter chicken as well but wasn't my favorite. I wanted more butter and more cream/yogurt. It's a very tomato-forward dish just fyi if you don't like that. Overall, super cute nice vibe in this restaurant!

From the start we were impressed with the incredibly friendly service. To start, we got the fish pakora. Although deep fried, the pakora were crispy without being greasy or heavy, and had a nice fresh flavor when dipped in the accompanying mint sauce. For our entrees, we got the daal makhani and the mixed vegetable curry. Both entrees were very tasty, but our favorite was the daal makhani, which had a nice smoky flavor. We also got a side of garlic naan and Peshwari naan. Although I hadn't had Peshwari naan before and was skeptical about whether it would go with the meal with its sweet flavors, the filling of coconut, almonds, and sultanas was so delicious that it was my favorite part of the meal. Also, although it was sweet, it didn't have too much sweetness to create an imbalance against the rest of the things we ordered. Highly recommend this place for great food and impeccable service!

If you haven't been to Timur yet, stop what you are doing and go support this amazing new local spot! We found out it's owned by the same team behind Nepa in SF, so we already knew the food would be spectacular, and they completely knocked it out of the park. On top of that, the service is incredibly fast and everyone working there is so nice and welcoming! Everything we ordered was soooo good. The butter chicken was rich and perfectly creamy, paired beautifully with the garlic naan and a perfectly made aloo paratha. The samosa chaat had the absolute best blend of flavors and textures, and we finished the meal with a refreshing kulfi and a comforting cup of chai. The quality, the hospitality, and the vibe are all fantastic. We are so lucky to have this gem in the Inner Sunset. Please go show them some love--you won't regret it! read more

love this place!!! I was walking by during their "soft opening"--they'd only been open for a few days, and the friendly vibes called me in for a quick lunch stop. I had the jhol momo,afgani chicken ,masala dosa carrot pudding . Everything was authentic and phenomenal. I've spent a lot of time in Nepal and have had a lot of jhol momos in my time--and this was one of my favorites. The service was amazing: so friendly and also attentive! This will definitely be a repeat spot for me, I know i will be back soon. Thanks for the great experience Timur!!! read more

SLEPT ON. I've only gotten delivery from here, so can't speak to the ambiance, but the food is AMAZING. they have probably the best dal makhni in the city - decently spiced (for Indians!), creamy without being oily and rich in complex flavor. They've also been understanding of any (small) special requests I have had - which to me, is great service. Highly recommended Indian spot in SF - especially for those looking fo something authentic. read more

There was a bottle of water on each table. The food came out in three pretty silver bowls. The nice metal bowls added to the experience. The chicken tikka masala was the exact right amount of spice. Not too hot, not too mild. I could taste the butter and the chicken was perfectly cooked and moist. The rice was rice. It was exactly what I expected and cooked fine. The cheese garlic naan tho... good lord I could eat 100 orders of it. Insanely good. So much butter, cheese, garlic, and hot out of the oven (or wherever). I would absolutely order it again. I spent about $30 on everything (16 for entree, 3 for rice, like 5 for naan, then tip). For $30, I was stuffed and it felt like a great value. Ambiance was nice. I already mentioned the bowls, but the music was just Indian bangers. I didn't know any of the songs, but two of them in particular were so good that I wish I had asked what they were.
