Little Delhi

I ordered the lamb curry (spicy) with rice pillau. The meal comes with complimentary papadum appetizers with a red and green chutney. I was pleased that the curry was quite red compared to the ones I’ve had before. The curry portions were standard with a good proportion of meat to curry. The tenderness of the lamb varied from piece to piece. I ordered the curry spicy and it was exactly the kind of spiciness that I liked. The rice was quite plain in terms of colours and spices and it had a hint of a funny, unpleasant taste to it. The restaurant looks clean and polished and the service was fantastic. The price is very reasonable.

Fantastic Indian food! Anytime I have friends or family in town and any talk about Indian food this is where I take them. I always get just the tikka masala and garlic nan. Cheap food, great service… What else could you ask for?

The food was just OK. Nothing great about it. Ambience was average.
I go there when I crave for non-​veg food and I dont have any other nearby option.

This is not the best Indian food you’ll find, but it IS the best $ 7 Indian lunch deal you will find!
Located right out of Powell BART station, this place is one of the few places you can get a huge lunch for under $ 10 in the city. If you’re going vegetarian, that price drops to $ 6. It’s always busy during lunch, but my coworkers and I have never had to wait long and service is pretty fast.
A lunch combo consists of your main dish, a vegetable dish, salad, basmati rice, AND heaping baskets of warm naan. Their chicken makhanwala (butter chicken) is my favorite so far, and I would stay away from the tandoori chicken. The naan is actually very good here, and always warm and buttery. I always leave with leftovers and a happy tummy!

The tastiest India food in the city. I have been here many times, alone and with friends and never disappointed. have had everything from the chicken curry to lamb curry to plain naan to their special naan, Saag chicken and lamb vindaloo, all the dishes have been up to the mark. Their veg variety is also very good.

There was actual aluminum foil left on a piece of the chicken in my chicken Marsala. So disgusting and unsafe. I almost swallowed it.

Lamb Rogan Josh and Butter Chicken were spot on. I ordered them extra spicy, and it had the perfect level of heat. I will definitely order from them again.

I’ve been here twice within the last month. It’s in a shady area that’s surrounded by homeless people but food is great. I appreciate that the location is within walking distance from the Parc 55 and Hilton San Francisco, which is where I usually stay.
Here’s what you need to get: Garlic Naan, Butter Chicken, and Rice Pillau. All three items will feed you for a couple meals under $ 20. The Tandoori Chicken is also delightful. I refer to it as «Indian fajitas» because it comes out with onions on sizzling plate. We also tried another usual dish, saag paneer and enjoyed it too.

Loved our dinner here! Tandoori fish, vegetable malai kofta, naan and a Taj Mahal beer. It was all so delicious, and service was quick, and prices were amazing.

I work nearby and when I’m hungry need my Indian food fix, I stop here. I always get chicken tikka masala and some naan to go.
It’s delicious and filling. I have no complaints about the food or the service.
I highly recommend going here if you’re in the area.

Excellent, excellent food. We ordered take out and had it back at the hotel. Some of the best Indian food I have had in a long time. Make sure you ask for rice if you get take out. Apparently in Soviet San Francisco your order doesn’t automatically include rice, sooo a good bit of the food had to be tossed once we ran out of garlic naan. Don’t take that as a negative, just check your damn order unlike us! Highly recommend.
I noticed that some other reviewers mentioned the food being spicy. Look if you regularly eat spicy food or Indian food or Thai, or you like Sriracha on everything then go ahead and order the spiciest stuff they have and you’ll be fine.

Great food! I had butter chicken, creamy and delicious! Naans and rice are good too!

Great place for a dinner with family or friends. We paid 80 $ for 4 people, drinks included.
Spicy food is extremely spicy, I would suggest medium or even mild, if you don’t want to put your mouth on fire.
Vegetarian food is top notch, lots of options that can be served as vegan. Decent wine choices, $ 6 per glass

This place was fantastic! We were hungry for a late dinner and I was in the mood for Indian. I’m so glad we found Little Delhi. The next time I’m in San Francisco, I will put this restaurant on the list!

Enjoyed our meal here but there were some detractors.
1. Wait staff prompt and efficient, but not very friendly. Not one smile.
2. Table was next to door to restrooms. High traffic area definitely did not lend itself to peaceful dining experience. Plus the smell of the cleaning solutions really puts one’s appetite off.
Food was overall good. I liked the quantity and prices were reasonable. Not sure I would return though because of negatives mentioned above.

3.5 for the overall experience. I’m not sure if delivery has to do with the restaurant or not, so to ding Little Delhi would be unfair for that part.
Ordered delivery via Eat24 and had a poor experience. It took over 1 ½ hours to get to my front door… I had to contact Eat24 to see where my driver was. Fortunately customer service with Eat24 was excellent, quick, and helpful.
DINNER:
Chicken tikka kebab
Saag paneer
Garlic naan
Regular naan
Little delhi special bread
I almost always get saag paneer and wasn’t impressed with it here. They also threw in a rando salad… thanks? But no plates, napkins, utensils, which I would have prefered over the salad.
The food was mediocre and fairly priced, but delivery time was painfully long.

It’s pretty straightforward Indian food. To be honest, I don’t know much about Indian food. I just eat it. Copious amounts of it. I’ve never had non-​tasty naan nor a chicken tikka masala I didn’t like. People with better tastebuds — you will probably have a more in-​depth review than I.
I do love living in a world where I can get Indian food delivered to my lazy self, especially when I can do it on Eat24 without having to talk to anyone. So good. The meh part is that the normal time of delivery is an hour and a half. That was not so good. Food gets cold, man. Most places are usually «yeah, we’ll get your food to you in 45 – 60 minutes» and Eat24 will tell you if it’ll take longer.
Anyway. Got two naans and a parathi. Would not go for the parathi again, but the paneer and garlic naans were delicious and went well with the CTM. I don’t really care for anything except the sauce in CTM, so if I can douse my naan in it and I can eat it without complaint, I think it’s good, and that’s where I stand with Little Delhi. The lamb tandoori was okay, but nothing special.
Probably won’t order from here again because of that wait time, but if I must, I must.

This place might not look like much, especially in a rough neighborhood, but there’s so much more to it than meets the eye. In particular: fairly generous portions of highly dependable Indian fare, all at very decent prices.
You can’t go wrong with most anything on the menu, whether lamb korma, butter chicken, or some naan on the side. The interior looks just a bit beat up and dingy, but the food comes fast, and service is efficient. Tasty, filling food at good prices — doesn’t get much better than that.

I was surprised at how good and cheap this little restaurant was in downtown SF!
This place offers good and cheap Indian food and my party of 6 had no problem with any of our dishes. I ordered the butter chicken and tried some of their garlic naan and samosas. The garlic naan was fine but you could see a clear layer of oil on top of the naan. The samosas were fine, but nothing really special about it. The butter chicken was only $ 9.99 and it definitely fills you up. I didn’t really taste any buttery goodness in my dish, but I still enjoyed my dish. I would recommend eating your dishes with the naan side instead of the rice. The naan was freshly baked and tasted great with the butter chicken sauce. My table ended up splitting the sides so we had 3 rice bowls and 3 naan plates.
Service here is fine, although the employee was being a racist moron when he asked my table «the where are you really from question»…like is he shocked Asians eat at an Indian place? The inside is dim, but cleanliness is okay. I did not see anything extremely gross, but I also did not use their bathroom.
Overall, I was happy with the price and food here is good.

Excellent & Healthy Food, but Not-​So-​Great Service!!!
Me & the hubby dined in 5 ish today evening, certainly early time for dinner. And therefore, was lucky to get ALL ITEMS served HOT & FRESH.
Their complimentary serving — Crispy & Thin Pappads with spicy green sauce & sweet sauce.
Our picks from the menu,
1. Samosa ($ 4.50) — Well cooked potato stuff but lacked adequate salt.
2. Paneer Tikka Masala ($ 9.99) — Worth the price. Paneer cooked soft, Not creamy yet thick tomato gravy, which according to me is very healthy.
3. Kabuli Naan ($ 3.50) — By far this is a very unique Indian dish I’ve ever tried. It has a mix of Raisins, Cherries & Coconut stuffed inside. Tasted flavorful with just the right amount of sweetness.
4. Vegetable Biriyani ($ 9.99) — Humongous portion with welcoming homely flavor, freshly prepared ground masala (not like ready-​to-​cook Garam masala) (9.99 $).
5. Indian Chai ($ 1.50) — Good & Indian flavored.
Restaurant is located at the heart of San Francisco city, although the surrounding would make you think otherwise. Neighborhood looks a little sketchy & unsafe. The inside setting, definitely not a fine dining. They do have a bar set up but couldn’t find much drinks. Offers indoor seating only, with around around 15 to 18 tables. They are flexible in accommodating large groups, saw a table arrangement of 16 while exiting.
This place will be more appropriate for To-​Go orders than eating inside. Too many attendants, but none of them were attentive. Have to call them thrice to take our order and ironically, it was in fact very less crowded at the time.
Parking is another problem here. Facilitates street parking only. Quick tip, Make use of 3 $ per hour parking spots (paid parking only until 6 pm) in JONES ST nearby.
I wouldn’t mind the not-​so happening ambience, but Service is very important according to me. And, this place needs a greater attention to improve their Service Standards !! Hope they do it sooner !!

Restaurant indien décontracté et sympa.
Tikka massala un peu trop vinégré (à mon goût), excellent saag, korma un peu sucré (mais très bon), tr5 bons naans.
Personnel attentif et serviable.
Un peu bruyant.
