I had an absolutely delightful experience at Curry Leaf! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, providing excellent suggestions for dishes that perfectly suited my taste buds. The food was flavorful and aromatic, though it leaned a little towards the spicy side. However, upon my request, they happily prepared a non-spicy version that was just as delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for its warm hospitality and mouthwatering Indian cuisine. Can’t wait to visit again! The garlic naan is amazing.

Staff is good and friendly that is the biggest positive of this place, everything else is just forgettable. Average food taste, old tables and felt unhygienic. Food was not fresh and barely tasty. Have never seen orange colored mango lassi (they put food color), even my tongue after having it didnt lie. Would not recommend and dont want to visit again specially when you have good/better options around

Overall a good choice for Indian food. Service is good and food is good too. The menu is not huge but you can find several choices.
I tried a little of everything we ordered: veggie samosas, lamb, chicken, cheese nan.
I do not give them 5 stars for one reason: everything in the menu is spicy without the possibility to order a mild food. Many other restaurant offer the choice to pick the level of spice (1 to 10). I asked the gentleman at the cashier if it was possible to order any dish from the menu without spices (mild food) but he said it was not possible. I did my best to finish my dish but it was too spicy for me.
Despite this concern it was a good experience to eat in this restaurant.

While personal tastes vary, my experience with Indian food at curry leaf fell short of expectations. The flavors lacked depth, and the dishes seemed to lack authenticity. The service, though polite, couldn’t compensate for the underwhelming culinary experience. I regret to say that based on my visit, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to others seeking a satisfying Indian dining experience.

Always busy with locals (a great sign), we ate here TWICE during our visit (that says everything). One of the best Indian restaurants we’ve had, and we try to find a spot everywhere we travel!
Great naan bread, great tikka masala, great tandoori chicken, great mango lassi, great pakora, and great dips. Seriously, all great!!!

The best Indian food in San Francisco, hands down! The best food I have ever tasted. It’s a nice place, the cable car also passes by. You order your food at the counter and take a number to your seat. The restaurant is self serve with getting your own water, sauces, napkins and cutlery. They do bring the food to your table and clean up after. Restaurant is clean but bathroom could be a bit cleaner. As for the food, it was DELICIOUS!! Ordered the lamb biryani, Karahi chicken, a side of white rice and keema naan. The food is tasty and authentic to its cuisine. Portion sizes are good for two to three people. Prices are reasonable for food quantity. One of the best I have had in a long time. But I am going to warn you, be aware of parking. THERE IS NEVER PARKING But at the same time its San Francisco so never mind. Highly recommend and will not be my last.
I recommend their Chicken Seekh kebab, Lamb Seekh Kebab, Mix pakora, and Tandoori Fish. Also their mint chutney is soooo gooood.

Enjoyed the chicken tikka masala, saag josch (lamb and spinach) and samosas. Everything is flavorful and naan has nice varying textures (pillowy bits and thin crispy parts). Prices seemed reasonable for the area. Utensils and to go boxes etc are self serve.

Walked in on a Sunday morning around 11:30am to satisfy a lamb/Indian food craving.
Order at the counter, pay, take a number and wait for your food to be cooked. In my case, my wait for basmati rice, lamb curry, and potato naan was about 8-10 minutes. I had forgotten how long the rice grains are. They’re almost like mini noodles. The curry was delicious, with just enough spice for me (not too spicy, not too hot) and plentiful pieces of well-cooked, very tender, not-so-gamey lamb. The potato naan came out finger-meltingly piping hot and was cut in half which I appreciated.
I brought about half of everything back home (doggy bag boxes on the shelf at the back wall), which means a curry, a rice and a naan is about two meals for me. With that in mind, a grand total of $24 was rather fair value for a meal (two meals actually) in SF. Service was friendly and warm. Would like to try their house special beef curry next time.

Curry leaf always hits the spot. We’ve lived in the city for a few months now and curry leaf has become our go to takeout spot. Their tandoori chicken breast, naan, and lamb shank nihari are to die for. They also have rotating dishes on the menu that are always very creative and equally delicious.

October ’24- My favorite here is Tandoori chicken leg with their mint chutney. Can’t go wrong with that. The lamb and chicken seekh kebabs are also good.
September ’23- Perfect for appetizers!! Really tasty food because it’s prepared in coal oven/tandoor. All Tandoori items are absolutely recommended and one of the best I’ve had in Indian restaurants in the US. No need to go anywhere else. Lamb chops take 20 min to prepare. Tandoori chicken is very tender! The mint chutney is really really good (don’t overeat that though). The only thing I regret is they don’t make seekh kabab rolls with roomali roti (very thin roti) and they have everything to make those rolls. Tandoori roti was also perfect. Samosas were perfect here. Exactly how they should be. I ordered goat curry here but it wasn’t that tasty, so try curries at your risk.
They have a few tables outside where you can sit. Also, one of the staff here is from Delhi and he has a lot of experience working with real North Indian style food, so you can say Hi to him if you’re from Delhi. This isn’t a fast food place, so you have to wait for your food, specially all tandoori items take minimum 15 minutes to perfectly cook, so please be patient as they won’t hurry for you. Parking is a little difficult here but you will find on the street in the same block or around it. It’s worth waiting for parking to eat at this place.
