Go one block up! – Curries here are greasy, badly seasoned, and occasionally food-poisoning. They make OK naan, but then wrap it in foil so it gets soggy. Even samosas are rancid and stale ... I suspect that they just keep them until they sell, no matter how long that takes. Service is counter-only and is grumpy and inattentive. Sometimes they like to overcharge customers, and often they forget parts of your order. You want cheap Indian? Go one block up.

t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e – Your food sucks. I'm sorry, but it's just TERRIBLE. How is this restaurant still open? It must be the cheap rent and the underpaid illegal employees who pay the bills.

Food Poisoning!!! – I've eaten at about hundred different Indian restaurants over the years. Being new to San Francisco I thought I should try out Tikka Masala. I got EXTREMELY sick after ordering food from here, I literally vomited for about two days and couldn't eat anything. if you take a closer look, the place is filthy, and the staff looks like they haven't seen a bar of soap in days. And the old Indian guy that works the counter (perhaps runs the place?) is an unfriendly prick.

Terrible Experience! – Overall, both the food and the experience were pretty awful. Not to mention the prices were a little steep for what we got. If you want real Indian food, go up the street and find Lahore Karahi and make it your go-to place. The food there is miles ahead of this terrible excuse for an indian restaurant. Ant the rice is clearly drawn from a pot sitting for ages. It was clumpy, sticky, and just not even close to fresh. The TV was annoying us with an expired football game and then "hillbilly hand-fishing,"... read more

It's terribly mediocre! – The old man here has some serious difficulty in dealing with women? The waiter all but ignored me, going so far as to walk up to our table and address solely my boyfriend with a, "How is everything, sir?" while being all scowls at me. I thought I was being paranoid until I said something afterwards, and had my suspicions confirmed. Not a good impression to be leaving on your customers! I'm telling you - this place isn't for me. If you're looking for good food, you'd be better served having Indian fo... read more

Unsatisfying... – What a disappointment! I hadn't been to this place in a year until a few days ago. The food was tasteless. Darn! And the noise level was ugly - it seems like a soup kitchen for creepy taxi drivers!

Absolutely horrible meal! – Very unfriendly service, and a rather bland menu makes this not noteworthy of any repeat visits. Disappointing.

Terrible service! Don't waste your money! – Nothing like what someone expects from a restaurant. There are far too many better choices in the Tenderloin. Terrible service! Don't waste your money. The food is too oily on top of that... I've seen cockroaches and mice droppings all over the floor.

Very disappointed! – All I can say is that the quality of the food is very bad. The server even admitted some of their dishes are almost a week old. And it doesn't taste Indian at all. You can view the whole kitchen from the counter which is very very dirty and disgusting. I wouldn't recommend anybody to go there. Don't waste your money here. All I can say is, "save your money and time".
