I'll go one by one. 1) food : was awesome. Totally satisfying. Exactly how a dosa should be. Great flavour, chutney was good, sambhar was decent and had a good bunch of veggies. Liked the food, no complains. Had the mysore masala dosa. Was great. 2) service : there was nothing great here. We wanted to move to a slightly more roomy table, we came at an off peak timing, restaurant was almost empty. We were respectfully denied. Didn't really see a reason for the same, but so be it. That being said, the host was kind enough to have free refill on chutney. So appreciated that. 3) ambience : this is the reason why this place lost the star for me. It was freakishly chilly. Like the outside temp was 52F, they had the doors open and no heat. There was one other family in the restaurant, totally 4 people all wearing there winter jackets to eat food. Seating was not comfortable either. Table was quite small. The buzzkill was mostly the cold. If I consider the ambience, I would have given it 1 star for this reason. But I wanna give a kudos to the chef there. Really appreciate the flavour you bought out. Liked your dosa, although idly can be a bit better. Not to oily, Good potato stuffing, nice blend of herbs and spices. Thank you for the good food, please however do something ambience. I didn't want you rating to go anymore down, I feel your chef has potential.

A very good authentic flavor from cuisine of chennai, india. The ambience and food was excellent. Brought back memory of my hometown chennai. sambar, chutney was very authentic. I ordered mysore masala, mushroom masala , idli and bajji . everything was top quality . mushroom msala was fried with very different taste.. Highly recommend if you are around pier 39..

The place is on a busy street and it’s busy most time went in for a late lunch. Turns out most of the items were not available on the menu except for madras masala dosa. Which was fairly good . While the Sambar and coconut chutney was really tasty the potato curry wasn’t so good. But overall a decent place to eat. The place has its pros and cons Pros: Decent food Friendly staff Quick service Cons: HYGIENE TAKES A BACK SEAT. The overall place is shabby The staff doesn’t wash hands between cleaning the tables and serving the customers.

This Indian restaurant ( South Indian Style) near Fisherman’s Wharf with a solid menu of dosas, appetizers, curries, and biryanis that generally taste good. We tried the chilli chicken, curry, and chapati, and all of them turned out well with generous portions that felt worth the price. The dining area is quite large, so it’s comfortable for groups and doesn’t feel cramped. However, the service was disappointing on our visit. The server seemed inattentive and didn’t really check in on guests. With better service this place could easily move up, but for now it’s a mixed experience—good food and value, but lacking in hospitality.

Good, standard South Indian food. Enjoyed their coconut chutney and sambar with variety of dosas. However, service was terrible. Very slow service and the waitresses were inconsiderate of customers, swinging hot plates right in front of kids’ eyes and placing plates on top of belongings. Hard to communicate with staff. Overall, good food, but difficult place to be in as a customer. I would recommend take out is better.

I went here with a group of friends upon arriving in San Fran. We were all craving Indian and this place is in a great spot near the beach and close to Ghirardelli square, so we decided to try it. We went for a late lunch and there was only one other group eating there. The atmosphere was simple but bland, definitely lacking some personality and decor. The service was average, and it took the server a while to attend us even though there wasn’t hardly anyone there dining. What really surprised all of us was that the curries we ordered didn’t come with rice—we had to order it separately, which was a bit disappointing and not normal in my opinion. The food was good overall! I’ve had better Indian food before, but this place serves great plates with a lot of flavor, just as they should. Portions were alright. I’m not sure if I would come back here or recommend highly as an Indian restaurant in San Fran. Not a bad place by any means, and has potential; just wasn’t the best experience as a whole.

Stepping into this spot, we were excited to dive into some comforting South Indian thali, but much to our surprise, it wasn’t on the menu. That initial letdown aside, the experience turned out to be decent in its own way. The menu still offered plenty to choose from, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor—though be warned, the spice levels are quite mild, so spice lovers might want to ask for a bit more heat. We ordered the masala dosa, kothu parotta, biryani and poori—everything was tasty! They even took some custom orders and were very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance was simple yet quirky, with a small hall that featured a stage and, believe it or not, a disco ball! It’s an interesting setup with a lot of old pictures of the city of Madras a.k.a Chennai and many more old pictures of actors, singers, cricketers who in some way have a connection to the southern city that gives the space a good feel. However, a word of caution: the restroom definitely needs some attention. It was far from the standard you’d expect, and I hope they invest in some maintenance soon. Overall, while we missed out on the thali, the food we did enjoy was delicious, and the place has potential with just a little more care to detail. Oh, and they even have a small bar at the entrance!

Not good food, very regular taste with too much price, only name is like IPL on popular and successful team but performance like PSL teams 😝😝 will never visit again. We were 18 people and ordered loots of options in food but no one like their food. No Veg and No Non-Veg. Sorry but its was very costly in comparison to taste.

Food was not worth the price. Why tell us to sit at any table when we enter then ask us to move to a two people table after we sat down and got comfortable I understand if restaurant was busy but we were the only customers in the restaurant. Overall not a good experience as server never even asked during the meal if we needed anything else either. Can understand why the place was empty

Service :- Very bad, the Gujrati girl who was serving she has an very bad service and she doesn’t know how to treat people, imagine food is on table and there is no plate served by her, no water, and next to us there was an table reserved by that same girl and she prepared everything for them, the guy on the counter was very helpful and he give a nice service, that girl don’t know how to talk when we asked how is that food she said she is vegetarian, i mean if you are working in non vegetarian restaurant you should answer properly or if you don’t know then send someone else who know. Food :- Taste was good. Just because of that Girl who served us i will never suggest anyone to go there , i had attached photo to see the food is on table and no plates no water served.

The quality has gone down. The Pompano fish fry still had masala in it. Was not fried. The goat biryani tasted couple of days old. And more over no enough salt. Used to be good restaurant with tasty food even though when the quantity is less. But its just bad quality now. Hope it improves.

Lump dosa. Not crispy . The server never checked back with me. So I couldn’t tell her anything. The potato also did not taste good. This was just the worst Masaladosa I’ve ever had.

DONT EVER GO THERE. Horrible service. We waited for 45 min. And they could serve only 2 rice and one samber. They could not provide anything else we ordered. Not even chicken items. To provide water it took 15 min
