A great spot to dine near Fisherman's Wharf. I tried the chicken soup and goat biryani. The chicken soup was outstanding--just what I needed on a cold, rainy day. The biryani was flavorful with a generous amount of goat pieces, and the rice portion was enough for two people. The medhu vada was freshly made and perfectly crispy. The service was good. Overall it was a good experience, a bit pricey maybe.

The food here is delicious! Each dish was very authentic to South Indian flavors and the portions were excellent. The service was amazing, were very friendly and gave great recommendations. The fish fry was a standout dish. It came with 3 pieces which were buttery and very fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great South Indian food!

Went back here after a bad experience many years ago. Was very impressed at both the quality of the food and the kind service. They are probably the closest Indian place to Fisherman's Wharf and the Pier-39 area, so there should be plenty of traffic from tourists and visitors. Tried the following dishes:- Chilly Paneer: was soft and well mixed with the spices. Really well done- Poori and Chana: good quantity , fluffy poori and tasty Chana masala- Parrys corner dosa: pleasant with small raw onions mixed in. Comes with chutneys and sambar. Personally didn't like the coconut chutney, rest of the chutneys and sambar were nice Will definitely return back again when I am in the embarcadero area

I visited Chennai Kings in a group of 4. Its conveniently located near fisherman's wharf. They have a restaurant area and (I'm assuming) an event area which is converted with restaurant seating as well. Since the restaurant was full, we were seated in their event space - which seems a bit make-shift.We ordered 2 Madras Masala dosas, onion uthappam and tomato uthappam with filter coffees. I'm not sure if they are understaffed- but it took them more than 20 minutes to serve us the ordered food.The dosas were average to say the best. Onion uthappam was slightly undercooked (probably needed a minute or so more), but the tomato uthappam was good. The chutneys were okay but sambar and filter coffees were super authentic. The staff was very nj - they made sure we were comfortable and received everything we ordered. Overall, this is a great place to visit if you are in the area and wanna grab south indian food.

Customer Service is fine. and no one was there at lunchtime. Felt the whole restaurant was just for us. Restaurant's ambiance is good and neat. Food was not up to the expectations. Typically didn't tasted like South Indian food. Ordered briyani, kada I chicken, Kottu parotta and ghee dosa. Except the dosa, the rest of the ordered food tasted sweet and flavorless. Not in my visit again list.

If you are visiting San Francisco- Fisherman wharf and get the cravings for Indian food... this is your place. The place is conveniently located on one of the main streets and serves great South Indian delicacies. The service is good just like the food. The filter coffee is one of the best I have tried so far. Give this restaurant a chance!

Good food but overpriced!We got the Idli, Mysore Masala Dosa, Filter Coffee, Parota and Potato Sabji - the standard South Indian vegetarian order. The idli was a bit dry, and the potato sabji was bland. However, they customized the mysore masala dosa to be less spicy per my liking. The parota was multi-layered with crisp outer layer - as it should be. Overall the food was good, however, compared to the quality, flavor and price at Udupi Palace, this was a bit pricey. As someone of Indian heritage, I found the ambience to be clean and homely. There was incense, banana leaves, water being served out of copper containers and lots of sunlight (we went for lunch). Service was quick. Worth visiting at least once :)

Simply Outstanding! A hidden gem!Order Paneer butter masala, Veg Biryani, Dal and Mysore Masala. As a vegetarian, this was just perfect! Service was also terrific ( quick and friendly people). 10/10 on Ambiance if you know some history of kollywood and cricket !We visited Fishermen Wharf for a couple of days, and honestly we didn't have to find any other place for food.

We went in today a little skeptical of all the reviews, we ordered the kothu paratta, ghee dosa and uthappam. We also ordered bajjis for an appetizer. I think the food overall was pretty good and tasty. We were also the only people there and son crowds followed! Over pretty satisfied! Extra kudos to the front desk lady and two other gentlemen who took care of our orders

We ordered a Madras Masala Dosa which was the best of what we ordered. Also ordered a Naan, a chetinad chicken curry and Kothu Parotha. Chicken curry was served kinda cold. Naan did not look like it came from a true tandoori. They do not include rice with any entree ordered. You have to pay extra. Very expensive for the food, service, ambiance and location!
