Today I visited Aaha Indian Cuisine on 17th Mission, and the experience was amazing! We ordered the Pomfret Fish and Chicken Tikka Masala — both were absolutely delicious and highly recommended.
A special shout-out to Anil, who provided exceptional service. He was incredibly caring, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our visit. I truly appreciated his hospitality.
We highly recommend this place — definitely worth a visit! ⭐️ ️

Absolutely love the many options on this menu which would satisfy all kinds of palates. This place is a true representation of South Indian food in San Francisco
Food: love the dosas and biryani. Everyone should try Gongura at least once – such a unique Andhra flavor. I always get the tandoori pomfret which is not easily available on Indian restaurant menus.
Service: Anil was fabulous! Attentive, reassuring and effective. He really enhanced the meal
Ambiance: this is a classic Mission restaurant. Great for small groups / families with kids. 1 block from BART.
We love coming to Aaha – can’t wait for my next meal there

All the food was so tasty! Anil was super helpful in helping us order the best items. The gobi manchurian was my fave out of everything!

I recently visited Aaha Restaurant, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious.
The Banjara Chicken was perfectly marinated and full of smoky flavor — tender, juicy, and seasoned just right.
Both the Goat Biryani and Chicken Biryani were outstanding. The rice was fragrant, the spice level was perfect, and the meat was cooked beautifully. Each bite had that authentic biryani aroma and depth of flavor.
The Pomfret Fish was another highlight — fresh, well-grilled, and seasoned perfectly.
Overall, every dish we tried was flavorful, well-prepared, and served hot. Great service, great taste, and definitely a place worth recommending. I’d happily visit again!

Was really craving Indian food and came across Aaha Indian Cuisine — it looked interesting, so we decided to give it a try. Went in for Punjabi-style food and ordered three curries along with a mix of different breads.
We got Butter Paneer, Butter Chicken, and Chicken Chettinad. The Chicken Chettinad was the highlight — super flavorful, with the perfect kick of spice and South Indian-style richness. The Butter Chicken and Paneer were just okay — both tasted too tomato-forward and didn’t have that deep, buttery flavor you’d expect. Taking one star off for that.
Now the breads — absolutely outstanding! We ordered Chili Garlic Naan, Cheese Garlic Naan, Cheese Chili Garlic Naan, and Onion Kulcha — and every single one was fire . Soft, flavorful, and very close to what you’d get back in India. We also tried their Chapati/Roti, which was decent but not great — the edges were a little hard and dry, so I’d definitely recommend sticking to the tandoori breads.
The vibe of the place was casual, nothing fancy — a decent spot for a laid-back meal. Liked the open kitchen concept, but I do think they could be a bit more organized with the space — there were some unused boxes and clutter that could be cleaned up to improve the overall experience.
Overall, solid place if you’re in the mood for Indian food — especially for their breads and Chicken Chettinad. Would go back, but probably skip the butter-based curries next time

Absolutely loved my experience here! The flavors were so authentic and comforting — the Tandoori Pomfret was perfectly cooked and bursting with spices, and the Goat Soup was rich, soulful, and incredibly satisfying. You can really taste the love and tradition in the food.
Special shoutout to Anil, who was extremely sweet and made the whole experience even better with his kindness and attentiveness. Can’t wait to come back for more! ✨ ️

The food is so so so good here! My go-to recommendation for folks looking for great South Asian food. My parents loved the uttapam and lamb dosa. My personal favorite is the tandoori pomfret. The rasam with the vada blew us away too, tastes just like my Nani made it growing up. 10/10. Always worth the wait!!!

Finally a South Indian restaurant that lives up to the hype – and then some! We stumbled upon Aaha by accident after a long day, and it was a revelation. So many ‘highly recommended’ South Indian spots have let me down in the past, but Aaha broke that cycle.
The staff was incredibly kind, happily accommodating our kids who wanted less spicy options while we indulged in fiery, authentic flavors. Every dish was fresh, hot, and perfectly blended with the right ingredients. The menu is truly well-curated and competes with specialty spots.
Their parotta was best in class, genuinely better than ones I’ve had in Virudhunagar. The mutton chukka? Superior to Konar Kadai in Madurai. And the meen polichathu transported me straight to Kerala. Even our kids’ paneer and naan were outstanding.We’re already planning to go back today to try their tandoori chicken
For a Chennai native now in Dallas, finding this level of authentic, top-notch South Indian food at fair prices in the Bay Area is a dream come true

Ha we tried Aaha, again by pure chance and no planning. We liked the inviting look of the place, it was busy with lots of individuals from south Asia, which is often a good sign for a great eatery. We only ordered 4 dishes, 2 appetizers chilli chicken and fried okra, a side of naan and a main lamb.
I like the fries okra, nice crisp easy finger food great while we waited for the rest. We watched as some amazing looking Dosa were served up left and right. In hindsight we should have ordered that. 2nd up was the chilli chicken appetizer. That was a disappointment. The chicken was smothered in sauce and left a metallic taste in the mouth that stayed with me for the rest of the evening. That was rather disappointing. Next up the side of plain Naan and the Lamb Rogan Josh. The lamb was very nice tasting, smooth melting on the tongue. The Naan unfortunately, while thin and crispy was dry and lacked that chewiness on the inside while crisp on the outside.
We left with mixed emotions wondering if we just ordered the wrong dishes. The chilli chicken for sure did not make the list in my book. If I go back I give the Dosa a try as I did look stunning.

The atmosphere was pleasant, although we had to wait a bit longer than expected for our food. However, the delicious masala fries made up for the wait. Additionally, the garlic naan was simply incredible and a must-try. We highly recommend the butter chicken and chicken soup, but be warned that the food is quite spicy.
