Veggie, pakora, veggie samosa, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, chana masala, gajar muttar, naan. $13.99
North India, San Francisco CA
I really liked the large buffet selection at North India. They had a great variety and had dishes that you don’t normally see for lunch buffets. However, the service was really awkward and made for an uncomfortable lunch. They just need to back off a little bit.
Chicken tikka masala, kofta curry, aloo mutter, spinach with lentils, rice. $12
Curry Boyzz, San Francisco CA
I finally discovered that this place has a cheap dinner buffet! Sure, they don’t have an extensive selection of dishes for the buffet, but I liked everything and try not to over-eat anyway. This will be a great, new option whenever I’m craving affordable Indian after the gym.
Marinated chicken breast cooked in clay oven. $5.99
Curry Boyzz, San Francisco CA
This was pretty good for six bucks. The chicken tandoori was tender and juicy and the marinade tasted good. I also liked that it came with a bit of something on the side.
Lamb cooked with potatoes in special sauces. $8.99
Curry Boyzz, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavor of this lamb vindaloo, but I thought that perhaps the sauce was just a tad too thick. There also wasn’t very much lamb in there.
Plain naan layered with butter. Each $1.49
Chicken breast in masala sauce, served with basmati rice. $9
Cello Kebob & Pizza, San Francisco CA
I thought this tasted good, but there really wasn’t much chicken at all. Such a disappointment. I would have preferred getting thigh meat if they would serve a larger portion of it. I liked the slight spice in the masala sauce though.
$12
Gajalee, San Francisco CA
I really liked this dish! The sauce was different from other ones of tried and it was delicious. It worked really well to neutralize the game-y lamb flavor.
$11
Gajalee, San Francisco CA
This was a decent tikka masala. The chicken pieces were large and kinda dry, but the sauce was tasty.
Spiced-potato patty, chutneys, caramelized onions and “gunpowder” – ground chiles and lentils, with side salad. Happy hour $7
Dosa, San Francisco CA
I really liked this slider. The potato patty was delicious, but I was perplexed by the “gunpowder”. I really didn’t know how to eat it. I tried dipping the slider into it, but it was just dry and odd.

Beef meatballs cooked in a spicy curry sauce with small cubes of russets. $6
Mehfil Indian Cuisine, San Francisco CA
I liked this. I enjoyed the really soft texture of the meatballs and the curry sauce was very tasty. For a six dollar lunch special, this was great!
Lamb cooked with potatoes in a special spicy sauce. $9
Naan-N-Curry, San Francisco CA
Ok, this was a bit oily, but it was certainly delicious and super flavorful! The lamb tasted great and the vindaloo sauce was spicy and wonderful. Mmm…
Plain naan. $1
Fried pastry shells stuffed with roasted cumin potatoes. Single $1
Chaat Cafe, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this large samosa was delicious! I outside was hot and flaky and the inside was soft and flavorful. A great yummy treat to accompany my lunch meal.
House roasted spices, tomatoes, onions, cream and fenugreek, served with plain naan. $7.99
Chaat Cafe, San Francisco CA
I liked this. The sauce wasn’t as creamy tasting as other tikka masalas I’ve had, and it had more prominent flavors of spice. They didn’t give you much chicken, but I expect that now from most Indian restaurants. It still made for a hearty lunch though.
