If you like $9 small pellegrino in a plastic bottle, this is the place for you!
The food is good. Fish pakora, lamb and chicken appetizer and the saag paneer are all great. Chicken tikka masala was decent, but the chicken was a bit too cooked. Overall it’s a good place for a meal. But please, skip the $9 sparkling water.

One of the finest Punjabi North Indian restaurants around!
The chef’s experience truly shines through in the food — every dish is bursting with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. I’d easily rate the food a 10/10.
Located in the heart of downtown, this place stands out not only for its taste but also for its ambiance and service. Definitely one of the top spots to visit!

Amazing place for having indian food… Lot pi f options for veg n non veg… Naan was super soft!
Nice variety for the buffet. Everything we tasted was good.
Chai and gulab jamun at the end stole the show.
Supportive staff, specially Karan was amazing.

This is where you go if you want some Indian food fast and do not care about the quality or the service. The host was unenthusiastic and borderline rude. I can understand a service worker’s lack of enthusiasm, but it was overtly revealing.
The food was mediocre at best. Some of the dishes weren’t warmed up as they were probably sitting there for a while. What’s worse was that not a single dish had the complex, saucy flavors that Indian cuisine offers.
This was our experience for the lunch buffet. The a la carte dishes may offer a better experience.

The food has always been very tasty here but the interior of North Indian has gotten quite nice since the last time I visited. As always, it seems like crowds in this part of downtown haven’t quite rebounded but i do North Indian getting pretty busy. The service is aways fantastic and friendly. It’s definitely my goto neighborhood Indian cuisine locale.

What a wonderful service. Mahaveer Singh is such a nice guy, offered us complimentary stuff. Can’t stop coming back. Got paneer Bhurji and naan for lunch and the quantity was amazingly well so came back for it at dinner and the next day.

We went to North India for dinner with our toddler and had such a good experience. The food was delicious, service was really kind and attentive, and they were generous with complimentary drinks too. The whole place felt very warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be going back!

I recently visited North India in San Francisco with high hopes, eager to enjoy some authentic North Indian cuisine. Unfortunately, my experience was a tale of two very different parts: the breads were a highlight, while the main dishes were surprisingly disappointing.
We ordered a few of the vegetarian staples to get a good sense of the menu: the yellow dal, navratan korma, paneer makhani, and vegetarian biryani. The main takeaway across the board was a noticeable lack of flavor. The Yellow Dal was particularly bland, tasting like simple boiled lentils without the rich, aromatic tempering of cumin, garlic, and red chili that makes a good dal so comforting.
The Navratan Korma was another letdown. Instead of a creamy, fragrant gravy with a hint of sweetness and the complexity of nine different vegetables and nuts, the sauce was thin and flavorless. The vegetables themselves felt under-seasoned and lacked the rich taste you expect from a well-made korma. Similarly, the Paneer Makhani, a classic for a reason, was a shadow of what it should be. The gravy was one-dimensional and lacked the necessary balance of sweet tomato, spice, and cream that gives the dish its signature velvety texture.
The Vegetarian Biryani was also a miss. It was dry, lacked the distinct aroma of rosewater and saffron, and the vegetables seemed like an afterthought rather than an integral part of the dish. It was more like spiced rice with some vegetables mixed in than a true, layered biryani.
On a positive note, the breads provided a much-needed silver lining. The naan was excellent—perfectly cooked, with a soft, chewy interior and a beautiful, slightly crispy exterior from the tandoor. It was easily the best part of the meal and a testament to what the kitchen is capable of. The roti and alu paratha were average; they were functional but didn’t stand out in the same way the naan did.
In summary, while the naan was a definite high point, the core of the meal—the curries and the biryani—was unfortunately tasteless and mediocre. The dishes were missing the depth and soul that define North Indian cooking. I left feeling a bit let down, as there’s so much potential for this restaurant to shine. For now, I would only recommend it for the great naan, and I hope the kitchen re-evaluates the seasoning and flavor profiles of their main courses.
