Viva Goa Restaurant is truly one of the best places I’ve dined at in San Francisco! The food was authentic and flavorful, and the experience was made even better by the warm hospitality. The staff are very attentive, and the owner personally makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend visiting if you’re in San Francisco—you won’t be disappointed.

One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Always a wonderful experience, love the prawn curry

Delicious food, cozy place and nice staff. The chicken had a little of fat and the portion is not that big, but in general everything tastes great and the prices worth.

The BEST Indian restaurant in the city as I tried many of them and found this one as the best. I tried their Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta and Roti. The taste was really superb and the quantities are also good. So I got to pack some and take home as my next days meal. The service here is really outstanding as they stay very attentive towards the guests. I will really go back and try some of their other dishes.

I can see why this place has 4.5 stars. The food was really good and they have great service. We were going to do take-out but decided to dine-in instead. It was not too busy as it was a holiday weekend, but the ambiance was just lively enough. Upon arrival we were greeted by a gentleman and then a young lady took our order shortly after. I can’t believe the bill was so low considering we ordered so much. And best of all, the corkage was just $12. Reservations not necessary but I would make one to be safe. I would definitely come back.

A novel variation from your standard Indian, this Lombard curry house serves South Asian flavors with a Portuguese and, at times, Chinese twist. Chicken 65, spicy-sauced and battered chicken breast similar to a Manchurian. Lamb Vindaloo, less vinegar and more tomato giving a tang but not sour. Tandoori Chicken, succulent and perfectly spiced served sizzling atop a bed of fragrant onions. Excellent when in the mood for a not-your-typical Indian, but still Indian, a la carte culinary experience.

Delicious! I've had Indian food from many different styles like Nepalese, Himalayan, southern, but this was my first Goan style. The flavors were incredible - familiar yet unique. Highly recommend!

Everything I had at this restaurant was absolutely mind-blowing. My visit was spontaneous, and I brought in a friend who has never had Indian food prior. We ordered several breads, rice, tandoori prawns, dal makghi and chicken tikka masala, and every single dish delivered punches of flavours and textures, with great balance in acidity and heat. Friendly staff was the cherry on top.

We enjoyed the Curry dishes and Naan bread. Two stars were just right for us for the spice level. We didn't try the Tandoori, but it looked good at another table. It was a little cramped in space especially for tall people, but what restaurant isn't. Our motel was only a couple blocks away and felt safe to walk in the area. The couple that joined us lived on the other side of Golden Gate Park and took the bus. Though traffic and parking wasn't too bad for a Friday night at the time we had dinner.

Not the best Ive had, Royal indian on uber eats still beats the butter chicken. The pistachio Kulfi was amazing and the service was very good. We had roti, naan, butter chicken and rice. I will be back here for another dinner and try some of the other things on the menu.

⭐ 0 Star Rating Very bad experience today. The employee sitting at the reception had a very rude and low-class attitude. They clearly don’t know how to treat customers properly and even disrespected a customer in front of others. I used to order food and eat at this restaurant before, but from today I will never come here again. I also do not recommend anyone to visit this place because of their poor customer service. Very disappointing experience. 👎😡 Please improve your staff behavior toward customers. 🚫🍽️

Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience at this restaurant. The behavior of the staff, especially during food pickup, was very rude and disrespectful. Even though we only came here once to pick up our order, one of the employees spoke to us in a very unprofessional and unpleasant manner. We believe the management should remind the staff, especially those in charge, to treat customers respectfully—whether they are dining in or just picking up food. Because of this experience, we cannot give a higher rating and are leaving only one star.
