Jonathan C. "In a downtown, with a ramen or bubble tea shop on every block, it's nice to see an Indian inspired restaurant. I think if I went in with a more fast food mindset, I would have probably been a bit more satisfied with the meal. Sexy fries: The dish really didn't seem well thought out. The sweet potato fries were fine, but the paneer and sauce felt like it was just tossed on. Wouldn't recommend.Thali: we ordered with chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and spinach paneer. I liked how there was different variety, but the flavors of the dishes fell a bit flat. I wished the naan was chewier instead of a pita texture.Haaka noods: If you think of a standard Chinese chow mein, you'll get a decent idea for it tastes. Samosa: The best dish we ate. The pastry was hot and crispy and curried potatoes were tasty. Mango lassi: comes in a bottle so not sure if it is made fresh. Tasted fine.All in all, they try to go for a modern "cool" vibe feel, but the dishes, aside from the samosa, fell flat."

Jaci Y. "It was the best of times it was the worse of times here in Burlingame California. While we started our vacation on a good note we ended stranded on a bad note. My husband and I had a long day from being stranded in San Francisco CA by United Airlines. We were happy at least to make the of our meal vouchers. After having a nice Korean meal down the stripe of Burlingame's little downtown area, we got to settle in for a night cap at the West Bay Restaurant bar. It was late into the evening with just a few customers watching the Giant's baseball game. We got seated right away at the booth and ordered two desserts and two drinks. My husband got a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and I got a Vodka Fresh. It was one of those nights where some sweet treats and a vodka fresh was going to make the night feel calmer and better. I had their pear tartlet and my husband had their lemon sorbet it was refreshing and mine was sweet and a little rich with the tart shell being very much like pastry crust. It was good can't complain. Our server was I believe also the host he was nice and took our order when we were ready and gave us our check when we were done. We took our time having our night caps and went back upstairs to our hotel room to enjoy the rest of the evening before sleepy time, the end."

Neesh S. "Our group of 5 stopped by here, with two dogs, on that last Saturday when it was 100 degrees so doing anything outside would have been difficult. Still, the staff did everything they could to make sure we had a great time. The menu is a bit pricy but for the quality of food, you're getting that premium flavor too!We tried a little bit of everything including the biscuits, cornbread, baby lettuces, grilled corn, burrata and melon, spring rolls, summer hash, potato cakes and the mesquite tofu and thought that everything we ate was very very good. With 5 people and 5 different tastes, we were surprised at how collectively good everything was. I think the absolute favorites were the hash, the cornbread and the tofu which was jam packed with flavor. We'll be back!"

Jennifer M. "Had this spot on my list of cafes to check out for a while, and was excited to finally drop in on a Saturday afternoon! First take, the space looks lovely and loved how easily you can ease in with a laptop for a couple hours of work - some cafes you feel a bit awkward about pulling out your laptop. However, admittedly I was not very impressed by the service itself. It took a few intentional checks with the staff to make sure that we got our drinks (originally, they only put out one drink out of the two we ordered, and did not even bother to check on the roll cake we had also purchased). Almost felt like I was being the inconvenience by being there to the staff. Perhaps just caught them on an off day? Would give Buoy another visit in the future to try out other items on their menu and if I need to get a bit of work in, but would aim to keep my touch points with the staff to be as minimal as possible."

Karen L. "There are a couple slices houses along Haight, but this one is my favorite. I dream about their potato garlic pizza. It's also the perfect snack when you've done the circuit of shops along Haight St. It's a generous slice for about $6-8. Not a meal, but the best snack this side of Haight. Classic NY style flat pizza. Their pepperoni and mushroom slices are also excellent. Service is fast and efficient and the staff are always friendly. Shop is clean, with some great memorabilia on the walls, especially a sweet note from some kids who used to go to EFNY as students, who are now grown (keep an eye out for it)! Note that they do charge for to-go boxes, so I personally always prepare to eat it there. It's best enjoyed hot anyway!"

It's spacious and would be perfect for small or large gatherings. The outside dining is lovely, especially on hot days like the ones we are having. The staff also set up an umbrella for you so you don't have the sun blasting on top of your head.The food and drinks are pretty good. All gluten free. Great chips and guacamole. The elote-style chicken wings were yummy. The rosemary lemonade is perfect for thirst-quenching. I enjoyed my fish tacos and my husband enjoyed his 3 street tacos of carnitas, pollo asado, and steak.Dog-friendly waitstaff gave my fur ball a bowl of water. Located on Battery and Greenwich. Steps away from Levi Strauss & Co. and Levi's Plaza Park."

Mark A. "Fantastic food, though the Cashew Curry was bland. (They almost lost a star there -- I would give 4.5 stars if I could.) The Samosa Soup was delicious, and an interesting concoction with actual Samosas chopped up in the soup. The Vegan Momos were wonderfully spicy. The Garlic Naan was the best I've ever had! Crispy and airy and chewy and super garlicky. The Mango Lassi was good as well.We were the only ones there around lunch time. They just recently opened up for lunch, so they need to get the word out. The service seemed a tad slow, which was odd since the place was empty. But they were courteous and helpful.Overall, highly recommended."

Ed U. "I just chronicled my utensil-free experience with this operation under the entry for their joint salad partner, Saucy Greens (review: https://bit.ly/3ZyV3AR). In brief, the shop at the corner of Leavenworth and Union is a bustling spot for delivery services and local residents. I came here to try a salad bowl, but I was also drawn to the menu of this business because c'mon, soup and salad...That's an inevitable combo. Truth be told, I was probably enamored more with Soupchu's menu than Saucy Greens'. I decided on the comfy-cozy $10.50 Chicken Bone Broth Soup which was chock full of couscous, carrot, celery, lemon, fresh dill, and shards of fresh chicken breast (photo: https://bit.ly/3YIpMKr). Sure, it was deliciously homestyle and plentiful in portion.It went well with the Vibrant Salad I got from Saucy Greens. However, the absence of a spoon made it a challenge. The problem was that they forgot my utensils despite my asking them. I had rolled downhill to Francisco Park and basically had no energy to go back up. Once I pleaded for a spoon at a cafe on Polk, I finally found a place to eat my soup. Remind me to bring my spork next time.FOOD - 4 stars...soup that would shame your motherAMBIANCE - n/a...not really relevant hereSERVICE - 3 stars...nice but not coordinated TOTAL - 4 stars...I'd come back for the soups and stews...I'll bring my spork next timeRELATED - Exploring Russian Hill?

Kitava

Kitava

★★★★☆ 4.4 (651) • $$

Shannon Z. "When I want to eat something healthy and fast, my go-to for this is Kitava, and they have two locations. The SF location is next to the 16th Street BART station, which used to be a McDonald's. The space has a lot of seating and is bright, warm, and inviting. Everything on the menu is prepared using whole food ingredients which are gluten-free, dairy-free, peanuts-free, and soy-free. One of the oils they use is Palm oil, and this sometimes bothers my digestive system. I am a fan of the sesame chicken bowl ($16), and the evolved caesar salad ($10, which is a more affordable dup. of the vegan caesar salad at Rad Radish). If you have celiacs or any autoimmune disease(s), this place is a must."

We ordered the same thing as last time, butterchicken, Salmon tandoori, buttered naan & basmati rice. This time we decided to order Mango Lassi & it was delicious! We received papadum, crispy lentil wafers with 3 unique sauces which are very flavorful. Everything is soo good. The butter chicken, my favorite is soo savory especially with naan. The succulent tandoori salmon is a must! On our next visit I want to order new items, being set on mulligatawny soup & eggplant fritters. As for service- pleasant, very welcoming & attentive. I also wanted to mention our last visit, we ordered chicken Tikka masala & it is divine! And again next visit, we'll try other delicious goodies!"

Thai Basil Cart

Thai Basil Cart

★★★★☆ 4.4 (57)

Arri Y. "A new hidden gem in SF, Basil Cart will leave you on a flavour journey to be remembered!I ordered from Grubhub, and this restaurant was a new option and I'm happy to support new businesses! Other reviews are pretty accurate, as I had a great experience ordering here. They currently have specials on Grubhub which enticed me to try them out but for the quality and flavour it's well worth it regularly. The delivery was timely and the owner included a hand written note, which was a nice touch and shows how much effort they put into their business!I tried the Pad Thai, Green Curry and Yellow Curry.The Pad Thai was very flavourful all around for some authentic flavour. It came with some peanuts and lime for garnish and was very fresh! Had some green onion and beansprouts as well, which I would have liked more of but not a big deal. The dish was also lined with a leaf (not sure what it's called) but also adds to the authenticity.The Yellow Curry had a lot of unique flavourness and rich body. Chunks of carrots and potatoes permeate the dish for some added richness as well which balances out the curry nicely.The Green curry is probably my favourite, as it also had a very rich body and taste as well. The bamboo shoots give a nice crispness to balance out the thick curry, but the flavour is the amazing point. A slight sweetness provides an upside to every bite, and combined with the slight spiciness and texture of the eggplant gives an awesome curry that's not too heavy and should go well with just about anything!The rice was perfect to my preference as well, as it was not soggy so that it goes well with curry. Very fragrant and fresh! All the portions sizes were great, so if you're looking for a nice flavourful and filling meal to satisfy your Thai cravings this is the place!"
