Curry Leaf

So I'm not a connoisseur but it's the best palak paneer we have ever had. All of the meal for 36.00 for 2. It was very very good. Clean and nice staff. Let me take pics :-) high recommend

A classic Indian place with food that's delicious and comforting. Curry Leaf is a local small Indian restaurant around North Beach. Every time you walk by this place, you always get this whiff of aroma, and you can't help but feel enthralled to come to try this place out. They have quite the selection of items to choose from. We ordered a few items, which includes the Fish Tandoori, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and the Keema Biryani. I loved the fish tandoori. The fish was so tender, and the spices were delicious. The chicken tikka masala was quite buttery and creamy. Not as flavorful as I thought it would be but it's still good. The garlic naan was warm and toasty and you gotta pair that with the chicken tikka. The keema biryani is basically this ground chicken rice dish that is very good. The only thing that was unexpected was how spicy it was! It was pretty enjoyable for the most part, but man was the rice dish ridiculously spicy. Overall, this place is pretty good, and I would actually recommend coming here if you're in the neighborhood!

What would I do without Yelp!!!?? ;PAfter spending a few days in SF's Fisherman's Wharf area and enjoying meal after meal of seafood, fish n chip and clam chowder, we were craving something different and Yelp! came to rescue! We found Curry Leaf on Columbus Street and it is somewhat a hole in the wall. The restaurant is smaller, but very clean and comfortable, and seats about 20 comfortably. We walked in at about 6:45p and were asked to grab the menus and seat ourselves anywhere, and to walk back up to the cashier to place our order whenever we're ready. By the time we left at 7.30p, the restaurant was 90% full. We opted for a Vegetarian Samosa appetizer (excellent, and nice & spicy!), lamb wrap (really good( with balanced flavor), and a boneless chicken biriyani (very good and offered at a very generous portion!). Everything tasted very good and prices are very reasonable and on the cheaper side. Overall a very pleasant meal and enjoyable dining experience. Thumbs Up!

Open late, reasonably priced, flavorful cuisine. Curry leaf is a gem. While most people order this place on a delivery app- I think hot and fresh Indian food tastes much better than Indian food cooked 45 minutes ago. That being said ambiance here is no frills but it is clean and the service is attentive. You order at the counter and you have to pick up your food when it's ready. I really enjoy the Bengan Bharta, fish tandoori and samosas here. The bharta is one of the best I've ever had. The fish tandoori is a mix of smoky and flavorful. Samosas are soft but pack a punch. The ctm is good but certainly not the best and the sabzi is good but simple. Overall I recommend eating here and it is worth a stop even at 10p on a Saturday. Nothing I've ever eaten here has been below good.

Good place to get a sit-down meal after a comedy show at Cobbs. Their food is good, and they stay open late.We were glad we ate here and look forward to eating here again after the next show we attend!Atmosphere was sufficient. Service was good. Food was good. I wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here.

Curry Leaf wasn't even our original dinner spot but when we walked by there was such a flavorful delicious aroma coming from the restaurant that we just had to at least stop by for a snack. I'm suuuuper duper glad that we did stop by and try out some dishes because everything was sooo incredibly flavorful and packed with spices. We got the chicken biryani (so many different spices and packed a lil spicy punch too!). The rice and chicken were both not too dry but the rice was really the star with how delectable it was. We also got the saag dal and it was also very flavorful. The spices are definitely less punchy than in the biryani but it made for a great pairing to the rice. Lentils and spinach were plentiful. There were so many other yummy looking things on the menu that I wished we chose more dishes to try but even then we did not finish the two that we had ordered so portion sizes are solid. Service was quick and easy as you order your food up front and then you pick up at the same counter. The restaurant itself is small/mid sized but still with enough seating. I hope to be able to come back and try more things!

Wowwww, that was incredible and super well priced. Stumbled in randomly with my three kids. Convenient self service for drinks, silverware etc, and just killer food. Low priced. 5 of us ate our fill plus desert plus the amazing mango beverage at $5 a pop, total $97 before tip. Blown away.

This place is a must in San Francisco. The location is really great, outside of the touristy area. The service was really great. But the food, was out of this world. I haven't had better Indian food in my life. The naan was so flavorful and perfect to dip in my dish. I ordered my favorite dish. The roasted eggplant vegetarian dish. It was so so delicious. The flavors were perfect and bold. And topped everything off with a tasty chai!

Ummmmm wow. Perfectly packaged for takeout. This is the best Indian food I've had in a long time. Perfectly spicy & awesome portion sizes. Highly recommend the garlic naan & this chicken vindaloo with rice. So delicious and quick. My food was ready for takeout 25 minutes after ordering. Very casual atmosphere if choosing to dine inside. Super impressed with the quality of the food!! I will be back

If you're Indian and have had good Indian food then you know this place is ASS. I read the reviews and thought hmm can't wait to try, I ordered the chicken tikka masala and man it tasted so bad, the taste was reminiscent of charcoal, like a bbq type taste, and tomato. The best Indian ever is in Sacramento. They are called chaat of India, curry leaf can't even compare. Ohhh and to top it off the young Indian guy taking my order was really weird, he kept flirting and giggling with these young girls who were eating next to the front of the store. I was so tempted to ass his weird ass if he was okay. Dude kept acting like he was on drugs. Anyways I don't recommend. Try star India if you're in SF instead and Chaat or India if you're in SAC
