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.
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!!!

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.
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.
Food had great taste, but wished the chicken tikka had bigger chunks. Self-serve format pretty convenient even if you’re not an introvert as you don’t need to return plates and was told to just leave them on the table.
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.
Staff here are friendly and professional. I've tried multiple things and always come back to the Lamb Biryani. The Chicken Biryani is also good. Tandoori Chicken Breast is delicious and the Chicken Curry is a nice side dish to accompany the Biryanis.
Amazing food,rich tasty and so fresh, the restaurant is so clean lovely crew
Everything we had was spot on amazing! My husband and I ate here twice during our two week trip to San Francisco, and we don't like eating at the same place twice during a trip! We tried their cheese naan and their regular and loved both. Their mango lassi is SO good! And their chicken Tikka masala is also top notch! My favorite sauce to add was their green one (sorry, can't remember the name!). It's very much self service with drinks and tableware, but I loved that, too as it was so different than I'm used to. Superb! Highly recommend!
Good taste but less options for veggies.
Great little place with good size portions. Season well, Chicken ya for was amazing. Chicken Marsala was very creamy. Very friendly staff. They were packed with to go orders so be patient. I would go back again if you enjoy great Indian food.
Ordered Seekh Kebab, Lamb curry, Paneer Tikka Masala, Naan and Veg Biryani - All the dishes were freshly made, tasteful and sufficiently portioned. Pricing was moderate. Enjoyed my food. Self service was a really good idea considering the restaurant is fast paced.
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.
Cozy Indian restaurant. Try them and they wot let you down.
Very delicious foods.
what ever they have in the menu is very good.
Thank you guys and keep up the good work.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
First time visiting here while coming to SF. Food was amazing and service was great as well.
Good hole in the wall for quick delicious desi food. Paneer tikka masala and vegetarian biryani were both good. They also have gulab jamun in the fridge in the back.
Excellent food next to Cobbs Comedy club! Stopped here for a quick dinner and was happily surprised at the quality of the food for a decent price (whole pie of naan was <$5), the cleanliness of the place, and the self serve set up (order at the counter, pick up plates/utensils/water/sauces). Will be back if I catch another show next door.
This restaurant has a very special peculiarity, a few meters away from there you can smell a delicious aroma of spices.
I ordered tikka masala chicken, plain rice pillau and garlic nan. Everything was delicious. The portions were big and the service was good.
