Rice and lentil crepe with a combination of paneer and masala, topped with a slaw of cabbage, cilantro and tomatoes. $10
Dosa Dosa, San Francisco CA
Although this dosa wrap didn’t have any meat in it, I still really enjoyed it. The crepe was delicious and the filling was very tasty. I don’t know if I’ll grab one for lunch very often because it didn’t really fill me up, but it’s a nice option every once in a while.

Minced lamb, garam masala, mint chutney. $9
Rasika, Washington DC
This lamb kebab was very good! It was super tender and very flavorful and I really liked the accompaniments – very classy.
Greenhouse, Mount Vernon.
National dish of England. $16
Rasika, Washington DC
Mmm, this dish was delicious! I loved the deep, rich flavor of this chicken tikka masala. It was well developed and very flavorful. The chunks of chicken were also tender and tasty. Noms!
Maryland State House.
Fresh mango, cashew nut, ginger, mint chutney. $10
Rasika, Washington DC
The shrimp tasted great, but I wish they were cooked a little less. They were a bit dry and hard. The mint chutney was great along with the diced beets.
Potomac River, Alexandria VA.
Crispy baby spinach, sweet yogurt, tamarind, date chutney. $10
Rasika, Washington DC
This dish was fun to start! I’ve never had an entire plate of fried baby spinach before. It reminded me of the fried basil used for garnish on other dishes, but as a entire appetizer. I liked the flavors and textures of this dish, but after a while you realize that you’re eating an entire plate of fried spinach and the grease starts to accumulate. Not so fun at that point…
Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
Lunch combo with Indian butter chicken, chana masala, and salad. $8.59
Nook, Washington DC
I liked the flavors of the chicken makhani, and I liked that they used chicken thighs. They have so much more flavor than breasts. The garbanzo beans were also tasty too, and I opted for the spinach salad to fool myself that I was eating an entirely healthy meal. 🙂
Spinach salad.
Ronald Reagan Building atrium.
All natural hormone-free chicken marinated in tandoori spices, light tomato cream sauce simmered with Indian spices. $7.50
Tava Indian Kitchen, San Francisco CA
This place is like an Indian version of Chipotle. You choose you toppings and build your bowl, salad, or burroti. Anyway, I didn’t like it. It was mostly rice and not enough of anything else. Their scoops for the meat are tiny so there’s practically no chicken in there. You do get to choose as many sauces you want, but who cares if there’s no meat to eat it with. I need more meat!
Ground turkey with sweet peas. Char-grilled and marinated naturally-raised chicken in a spicy, creamy tomato sauce. A homestyle Indian platter with one or two of the dishes listed below, roti (handmade bread), slow-simmered daal (lentils), rice, veggie salad, chutneys and raita (yogurt). $11.95
Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love the thali plates at Kasa. They’re a great value and there are so many flavors and components that make it fun to eat. I really need to stop getting the green hot sauce though. It tastes great but I always pay the next day. Lol!
Chicken tikka masala kati roll. $5
Half side of ground turkey with sweet peas. $3
Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco CA
This place is a standard go-to for easy and delicious Indian food for me in the Castro. The food is consistently tasty and the quality is good too. I always get the hot sauce because it tastes really good, but I always pay for it later. Lol!

Tandoori baked breast chicken cubes cooked in a nutty curry, served with naan. $6
Mehfil Indian Cuisine, San Francisco CA
This place has really good lunch deals but you definitely don’t get a lot of food. As you can see, there are only a few pieces of chicken in my dish. I appreciate that they only used chicken breast but they just need to give you more of it. The sauce was really good though and I did like their naan. I just won’t be going back any time soon for lunch if I’m hungry.
Naan bread.
Char-grilled and marinated naturally-raised chicken in a spicy, creamy tomato sauce. Saucy grass-fed lamb and potatoes. A homestyle Indian platter with one or two of the dishes listed below, roti (handmade bread), slow-simmered daal (lentils), rice, veggie salad, chutneys and raita (yogurt). $11.95
Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco CA
Every once in a while, I crave Indian food from Kasa. I’ve been getting the thali plates recently instead of the roti rolls probably because I’m a pig, lol! I think the chicken tikka masala and lamb curry is my favorite combination because they’re both saucy and perfect for mixing and dipping.

White orchid flowers (Orchidaceae), Buena Vista.
Marinated ground lamb cooked in a clay oven. Served with onions, lettuce with yogurt sauce, tomato, and lemon. $3.99
Curry Boyzz, San Francisco CA
I was surprised how small this was when it arrived at the table, but it was actually very filling especially with the veggies. I just took pieces of the lamb shish kebab and wrapped them in roti with some of the veggies. The lamb was dry so I wish they had given a side of raita to add some moisture.
Purple-pink geranium flowers (Pelargonium sp., Geraniaceae), Mission Dolores. I walk by the Mission Dolores every work day when I’m heading to the gym from 16th Street Station Bart. I never really noticed how pretty they’ve kept the small side lawn.
