"Chef Zareen Khan’s Michelin Guide-approved Pakistani and Indian mini-chain lives up to the hype. Ordering can get a little confusing since you can get dishes straight-up or as part of a thali, but for a typical lunch a thali suffices; the abundance and creaminess of the dal I ordered for $11.25 converted me, and don’t be a fool: order the mango lassi. Those thalis are no joke-sized—a proper lunch—and the lunchtime vibe is laid-back and accessible, with a diverse crowd, a ton of outdoor seating that’s desirable through the summer and fall on the Peninsula, and a lunch rush that’s down to a science: take your number to your seat, drink in hand." - Paolo Bicchieri
