"Sort of out of nowhere, a bright, enormous sign with a font straight out of P.T. Barnum’s circus hangs over the sidewalk. Inside is the cilantro-centric, most flavorful aloo chaat on the west side of San Francisco. A takeout box of spicy potatoes and vegetables, slathered in a slurry of sauces, is well worth the money. Curries, dals, and biryanis are all on the menu here, too, with nothing more expensive than $20." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
