Do yourself a favor and don’t go there. We went there on a Friday evening around 5 and we were the only people(I should’ve taken this as a hint) but we went ahead and placed an order. The food was mediocre at best. The butter chicken was bland and momos were absolutely flavorless. The only good thing was the service which made me not say anything about the food.

Delicious Pakistani/Indian halal food with rich flavors and authentic spices. The biryani was perfectly cooked, and the kebabs were juicy and tender. Great service and clean environment — highly recommend for anyone craving real Pakistani/Indian taste!

We’ve been to this restaurant 4 times now and it’s always delicious. However; this time, my husband noticed a difference saying “this is the best I’ve ever had.” I agreed. At the end of our meal, the NEW OWNER (who cooked all of our food) shared with us that he just bought the restaurant in October. Wow! VERY IMPRESSIVE as the sauces in the dishes tasted more authentic. My husband and I both traveled to India and love it there, so tasting the same dishes we always get even more tasty was amazing (Chicken Tikki Masala ($15), Lamb Biryani ($16), Lamb Tikki Masala ($15.99), Cheese Naan ($6), Garlic Naan ($5), Chickpea & Potatoes dish (Kadai Channa Masala $11.99) and Streamed Basmati Rice ($4). Seriously! THIS RESTAURANT IS A MUST TO TRY AND ENJOY! The owner said he will soon open a buffet as well. We definitely will be back w/ empty stomachs as we can’t wait to enjoy this authentic Indian restaurant again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I was craving Indian food since I’d not had it in more than a week. This place has some seriously delicious Indian food!
We’d their Aloo tiki ragda (yumm!), matar paneer with Green chili naan and garlic naan. We actually ordered the paneer tikka masala but the order got messed up. I didn’t have any complaints about the matar paneer though! And our favorite was the cauliflower roast with the khichdi – a must try!
If you’re in SFO and looking for some seriously good Indian food – stop by here!
Also a special mention of their service – really, sweet people! After ordering, I realized that I was out of lactaid in my wallet and my spouse needed to make a quick run to Walgreens. They accommodated our request to bring the food out when he was back. Thanks to that kindness, I enjoyed my lunch without having to deal with a tummy ache later!

Some friends and I ate at Spice of America on Market Street last week. We had read the great reviews and were not disappointed. The food was all tasty with complex flavors, although the two dishes with red sauce were supposed to be different, the sauces tasted very much the same. Still no complaints. Everything tasted fresh. I would go back here.

Appallingly bad service and horribly mediocre food.
I saw some old recommendations online to come to Spice of America and assumed that it was a well known establishment so I gave it a try.
The ambience when first entering is pretty decent, a large bar, several tables, and generally nice lighting.
The menu looked normal enough, with the usual Indian Dishes. As a usual benchmark, we went with Butter Chicken and Paneer Tikka Masala with Basmati Rice, Garlic Naan, and Roti.
It was just my party of 2, and another party of about 6 people so I expected it to be relatively quick service, but this is where it went downhill.
They seemed to have forgotten that we were here because we were waiting for almost 30 minutes before I had to ask about where the food was, they said it would be soon, and another 20 minutes passed. Waiting almost an hour for a couple of simple dishes is ridiculous.
When we finally got the food, it was clear to us that something was off. The Roti was not Roti, it was more like Naan made with whole wheat, a completely unauthentic attempt. The Naan itself was burnt and bitter, with flakes of the grill they used stuck to it, flavorless and no garlic or salt.
The curry was even more disappointing. Both of the Butter Chicken and Paneer Tikka Masala had the EXACT same flavor, which basically tasted like Canned tomato sauce with a bit of heavy cream in it. There was nearly no actual spices in it. This was one of the first times I’ve actually left an Indian restaurant without finishing my food.
The only thing that they did right, was the Basmati Rice. Hallelujah!
To cap it off, we tried to get the bill THREE times, before we had to literally get up and ask them to hurry it up. I’ve never had to wait 20 minutes to pay my bill in an empty restaurant, but they managed to succeed in that here.
Maybe there’s new ownership, maybe a new chef, possibly an off day, but if this dinner was any indication, no one should eat here.

I tried this place on a workday lunch break. From the outside, I couldn’t tell if the restaurant was in business at first glance. There were no other customers during my time there. They had traditional Indian music playing and the very comfy seats made the atmosphere rather cozy. I’m usually very sceptical of the quality of dishes because I am used to strong tasting food. But when I took my first bite, my senses came alive! The spiciness was topnotch and I was immensely impressed. I had to walk back to my office without my jersey on a cold day; it was that good.

Pickup order, didnt even start preparing it until after I arrived.
Their response when I was waiting more than 15 minutes for order that should have been ready more than 25 minutes ago – “life is full of disappointments”
Updated to add review of the food itself: very average. Not bad, but nothing great. Definitely not worth waiting for.
