South Asian Food in Mission District, San Francisco

“Food is crazy good. I had butter chicken, garlic naan, the rice and rice pudding. I am back again. Totally reasonably priced! Some of the freshest Indian food I have had! You have to try it. A gem in the Mission.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dinning here with my family. It was extraordinary from start to finish. The food was standing, best butter chicken I’ve had! The customer service was also a 10! Highly recommend!”

“I didn’t get pictures because we were super hungry and dived right into the food, but it was SO good! Felt very homely and light - exactly what we were looking for! We got the chicken curry, daal tadka and garlic naan. All were really good. My favorite was the palak paneer! Another plus point is they are open until late so its a good option for late night cravings. The staff were really courteous and accommodating as well.”

“Great place for Indian food”

“We ordered the chicken tikka pizza, samosas, and mango lassi and they all hit the spot. The samosas are exactly what you’d expect seasoned well and by the time we brought it home it was the perfect temp to eat. The chicken tikka pizza comes with a green sauce on the side that perfectly compliments the sweetness of the dough and the mango lassi was exactly what you want in a sweet dessert/complimentary beverage to end the meal. I’ll continue to recommend them and order in the near future again.”

“Awesome vegetarian food! Veg Pakora, Samosas and veg gravy with bread basket was amazing.”

“Absolutely loved my experience at this Takda Indian restaurant! The food was bursting with authentic flavors – from the buttery dal makhani to the perfectly spiced butter chicken. The naan was fresh and fluffy, and every bite transported me straight to Punjab. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making the dining experience even better. The ambiance had a cozy, traditional touch that added to the charm. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy real Punjabi cuisine.”

“Growing up eating Indian and Pakistani cuisine, I will say the food here truly hit the spot. The gentleman running the place truly cares and has a hand in the business and I appreciate that. I had the Lamb korma which was replete with the nutty, sweet rich flavor that I cherish in this dish. Plenty of garlic naan to sop up my sauce and plenty of laughs with my friend. I enjoyed this neighborhood spot for its no-frills approach and comforting plates.”

“Go to Indian place. Best in the mission”

“Tried this restaurant on a Sat night. Easy low key spot. Some might shy away from Indian-Fusion but this place delivers great North Indian staples plus satisfying pizza/bar bites. Something for everyone on the menu. Tips...Perhaps order ahead if in a rush, but eat-in pizza & entree came out quickly Everything tasted fresh and spice levels were catered to our order. Service was excellent, restaurant and facilities were clean. Would definitely visit again.”

“I'm new to the area for a couple of months and I'm so happy to have found this place. Indian cuisine is one of my favorite comfort foods, and Tadka hits the spot every time. Their Shrimp Tikka Masala, basmatti rice, and cheese Nan (not officially on the menu but the chef is so nice and always makes it) is heavenly. The people here are so kind, and their food is amazing. I don't go anywhere else for Indian food.”

“This place is great, good food nice service and the management is very attentive to any complaints or suggestions you might have. I love ordering their garlic naan, daal soup and fish tikka masala can’t wait to come try it again”

“"Unexpected gem! Walked in late after a show and was surprised to find this place open till 2 AM. The chicken tikka pizza was wild—in the best way possible. Perfect spice level and the crust was just right. Friendly folks too."”

“I come here every time I visit San Francisco. We love the paneer pizza, paneer tikka masala, and naan”

“Overall I must give this place 5 🌟, everything as I expected when I'm ordering their foods. Take out or Online. One of my favorite is their Tandoori Lamb chops. After midnight snacks try their 🍕 🍕 🍕. They'll make it how u want it.. wanna play with flavors in ur mouth ? Try their Acarra as well... Ooouuuhhhh, mmm..mmmm..exploding 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋🥰. I absolutely 💯 recommend this place. Open late too..”

“Got the chicken curry pizza and chicken tikka masala. Both were very tasty. Would recommend it.”

“Wow !!! What an late night indian Gem that we stomped upon ! Was being in the S.F late night tried this TADKA place.Food was so good their Lamb Rogan josh and chicken korma and Butter Chicken was amazing.Will be back every week we come to city though !! Never had such a great Garlic naan !!”

“Delicious ! Amazing food, wine, naan. Great service, very clean - highly recommend !!”

“Can only speak to the butter chicken and onion naan, but it’s among the best in the city. Just moved to the neighborhood, and they’ve treated me like family every time I’ve gone (probably twice a month on average). They were even gracious enough to accept an order a few minutes before closing.”

“I love getting the peshwari naan with a chai tea for a not-too-sweet snack. The peshwari naan is filled with a sort of frangipane, gently sweet, nutty, and spiced. The top layer is brushed with ghee and the body is crispy on the bottom then soft and chewy throughout. Their chai tea is excellent and pairs perfectly with it. And they are open until 2am!”
