Everything was absolutely delicious! I had a ton of different food, momos, tikkala chicken, even an authentic Nepali paani puri. The presentation and taste were on point. And the atmosphere is super nice. Highly recommend

It was insanely yummy and I’ll definitely be coming back. The food was so authentic and every dish was spot on. We got the platter of momos, chicken tikka, Manchurian, and fish fry and we got chicken momos, chole bature and Nepali paani puri. I highly recommend everything but especially the platter. Service was lovely too!

The food was delicious here, I highly recommend the alloo samosas, butter chicken and thali meal plates! I was craving Indian food and this place certainly hits the spot. Will be back for more!

Easily one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The food, the prices, the location, the atmosphere, the staff all make it feel like a cozy home I know and love rather than just a a place to eat. As a vegan, I love the plentiful variety of plant based options. The Gobi Manchurian is easily some of (if not thee) best I’ve ever had! The kinda place I can easily eat from multiple times a week. I <3 Bir Kitchen!

Update - we went back last week and took some friends with us and it was sooo nice . They remembered us and got us a spinach pakora and wine right away. Their hospitality and service is beyond words. Thank you Rubinaji and everyone 🙏🏼 we will be back soon with more friends soon ❤️. Old : We tried this place tonight - items I ordered were really tasty veg steamed momo, and veg chowmein mild and onion pakora. My husband got the goat dum biryani - it was not what he was expecting . The place was slammed with lot of diners and also lot of takeout orders . Staff is attentive but also very busy . The lady who took our order forgot about the wine we ordered . The biryani and pakoras took almost 45 min from when we ordered at least. We will go back maybe not for biryani . Nice ambience , staff was very sweet .

The food is delicious! My family eats a LOT of Indian and Nepali food and this was definitely one of the best we have had. Two samosas for $7 and they were big with two very fresh chutneys that were delicious. Fried momos were very juicy and flavorful and the sauces were excellent. Perfect garlic naan. Loved the goat biriyani. Excellent flavor with cracked bones lending marrow flavor to the rice. Lots of meat. Waiter forgot to get our chicken korma order in but that was a blessing as we were stuffed. Seating arrangement for a four top table wasn’t very comfortable as the table legs made it very hard to get up and out of the seat plus a beam would have made seating for 4 very tight. Service was a little slow as they got quite busy toward 7:30 pm. But would definitely go back as the food was delicious!

The Shnitzel, The Soup & The Salmon were very good. 😃Look for yourself😃

We love this neighborhood spot. Best bagels in the city according to my wife, a former New Yorker. Always hospitable and friendly. Love the communal table. Coco who works there wad very kind to me and my son recently and it’s a kid friendly spot for families in general.

James Bywater

The French toast was awesome, perfect crispness. The bagel sandwich was exceptional - and the brine spiced hot sauce is a must.

For any New Yorker (or anyone who has spent long enough time in New York to know at least one true rendition of a bagel … I acknowledge Montreal 😁), Wise Sons nails it. Bagels are soft and chewy on the inside (boiled), and crunchy on the outside (baked) — making a wonderfully gluten-based breakfast treat. If you’re allowed one periodic cheat, this place is worth it. Everything Bagel (toasted) with smoked salmon lox, regular schmear (there’s enough flavor going as is), capers and salted cucumbers — near heaven.

Such a fabulous spot!! The Reuben sandwich was absolutely incredible, the fries were perfection, the coleslaw was amazing and the chocolate chip cookie was genuinely one of the best I’ve ever had! Coco was absolutely incredible and made both me and my mom’s day—he chatted with us, brought everything we needed, and gave us free bagels and a cookie to go!! Coco is a true gem and an absolutely light - he truly made our evening and brought such joy to our dinner!! Truly, the food was perfect and Coco was incredible—give him a raise! He’s amazing and I’m so excited to be back soon!

I went to this establishment probably in the first week they opened (8 or 9 years ago) and have been in Europe since. Just came back with my new wife. Had to know. We were treated to an incredible experience with the host Coco. He brought a sample of the corned beef as she had never tried it before, gave us some complimentary hors d'oeuvres and made super menu recommendations. He couldn't be nicer, the food was incredible, the service was fantastic. The price was appropriate. We will be back! This place really understands Jewish cooking. Incredible reuben, chicken sandwich and delightful matzah ball soup. As a parting gift , Coco gave us a couple bagels for breakfast the next day!

Delia Grande

Pastrami was full of flavor, juicy and buttery, can’t wait to go back and try their bagels too. We loved everything we ordered, service is pretty quick.

Our post-wedding WiseSons Sunday catered brunch in our home exceeded all expectations. Two assigned staff, Zane and Vincent, showed up on time, set up the entire brunch to perfection, kept everything running so smoothly, tidied up, replenished so that we could be 100% present to our 70 guests. There were probably more instances than I can name where they went above and beyond, so I will only describe one. I thought I had ordered vegan cream cheese for our handful of vegan guests, but I must have forgotten to put it in the order. They saw a few avocados in the kitchen and (this was all their idea after first offering to go out and buy some vegan cream cheese) they whipped up a guacamole for our vegan guests to spread on their bagels! We love that you provided your own waste and composting (our bins are overflowing from this past week of festivity) and that when they left the house, everything that could be stored in the fridge was stored and there was no sign they were ever even here. The kitchen was spotless! We had great Wise Sons leftovers the day after (this morning). We are thrilled that we hired Wise Sons to cater our brunch and would do it again. Highly recommend!

Wise has a stand at the Marin County Farmer’s Market and it’s great! The bagels are awesome. They recently bought new bagel machines (as per the Chronicle) and it shows. Great poppy seeds and the plain bagels are very crunchy where they should and soft inside. The cream cheese is good too. I don’t know if they make it or have it made but it’s better than “the leading bagel places” with bigger footprints. The staff is always friendly and not stuck up like a not of farmers market niche prep food places that look like they are under some labor punishment program. Go check it out for yourselves and get back to me…. Cheers Wise Sons!!!

Neat little Reuben sandwich $18.50. For dining in, you pay first and they give you a number on a metal stand. It took about 10 minutes for my little Reuben sandwich to come out. That tasted fine. Plenty of seats at lunch time. I was still hungry when I left. But then again, I'm a big eater.

As a GF girly, I nearly screamed when I was told they have GF bagels. Tasted so good I went to order a second straight away. The shop is beautiful, tidy and all the products are fresh and well sourced. I’ll be telling everyone to check it out!

JC Belmont

10’s across the board! Friendly service, delicious food, great clean atmosphere. Ordered the Popeye bagels 🥯 and the potato latkes. Everything was on point. Maybe a bit saltier than normal but edible. Coffee was excellent for drip coffee. Will be definitely coming back here.

One of the best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had! The restaurant has a cool old school Jewish deli vibe and the food is great. They also have some outdoor seating. We ordered pick up the only slightly negative thing is it took a while to get the sandwich.

Mike Rosenbaum

Pastrami Burger is delicious! Quite possibly the best burger I’ve ever tasted! Matzah ball soup is pretty good too. Quick, friendly service and good value for money comfort food.

Cute place in the corner. I came here looking for bagels 🥯 my friend said it tasted like New York style bagels. I was there late evening so I didn't have the option for bagels. But my first time trying the matzo ball soup and it was well made and delicious 😋 my sisters had some sandwiches and it looks delicious well made. Check this place out when in San Francisco

Really great bagels and food. We had the schnitzel sandwich and one of the breakfast sandwiches. Schnitzel was made to perfection and all of the ingredients tasted great and high quality. 10/10 would recommend and will return again soon

New Indian spot that opened up in mission with lots of potential. Went last week and tried a bunch of different things. Tandoori chicken was fire, 10/10. Chili chicken was a kind of dry and overcooked, and I think the fried momos just aren’t my cup of tea. Still tasty. Tandoori roti was also 10/10, better than the naan tbh which was a bit underwhelming. Malai Kofta was very good, will have to try other curries next time. I can see this spot being one of the best in SF. Need to go back and try other items. Definitely recommend checking it out. Great service too.

Definitely up-and-coming in the area. We had chicken manchurian and chole bhature. The chicken manchurian in my view was very saucy (Ketchupy). Maybe that's a me problem, but could be more material in the sauce itself so it doesn't feel like I'm having close to ketchup. The chole bhature was amazing. It felt like I was back in Delhi, having great bhature and great chole. Really enjoyed it.

I had only ordered by way of DoorDash until today when I went in and sure enough all of those reviews that I’ve read about the staff being unfriendly we’re absolutely correct though I didn’t wanna believe it at the time. The thing is that they are young people at the counter that are getting a very bad start to customer service. They definitely do not want to be there. UPDATE: visited today and added another star to service. Isabelle (Isabel?) pulled this restaurant out of the fire so to speak. Pleasant and efficient she was so a star added to service. Wednesday mid day is the time to visit it seems, otherwise I’d recommend door dash.

Adamo Stivala

It’s a nice place to visit, the bagel however is just not up to par. It’s like pizza crust, it’s soft and light but not chewy. The decor inside is nice m, lox and spread are good. But the bagel should be the star of the show

Chef Tony

I stopped in for lunch, I had the Ruben with pastrami fries and a sparkling water $33. I'm really picky when it's comes to meats, and for a place that claims to make their own pastrami, I do have doubts. Overall, I will not go back. The pictures say it all. What I found hilarious was that here you have a Jewish establishment, but your drinks come from Mexico, including this sparkling water I ordered.

Bill Lin

A very nice deli at the corner of the neighborhood, only less than 15 mins away from downtown. Was in a rush, so directly asked for "the most classic sandwich 🥪", they recommend "The Reubens - OG", which is the meat (I choose Pastrami) with Russian dressing, swiss, and sauerkraut. OMG, it's so simple, but it's SO GOOD, pastrami was well seasoned and grilled, the sauerkraut offers the sour and freshness to go with bread and meat, everything was just on point.

This review is based on a delivery order. Chicken Korma: Chicken used was mostly bones - 5 small pieces of chicken that were mostly bone and cartilage. The sauce was not what I expected, it was not creamy felt more like a tomato based. Dal Makhni: Way too oily, had to remove a top layer of oil. Once served, the spices were good. Eggplant: My favorite of the three dishes. Note: all entrees come with a side of rice. I didn’t know that so I ordered extra rice, oops.

I ordered today through DoorDash after seeing all the 5-star reviews, but I was a bit disappointed. The aloo paratha didn’t really have any aloo in it.. it just felt like a plain roti..The samosa and paneer lababdar were actually good, but they missed the rice that was supposed to come with the paneer. Also, the four pakoras that were listed with the samosa didn’t come either. They can definitely do better.
