"At 14 Peaks in the Mission, it’s easy to stroll in six deep and get seated immediately. The casual Nepali and Indian restaurant has tons of space, and the extremely friendly staff might sprint to open the door for you and offer to take a group photo of the table before the night is over. Their shareable dishes, like the sizzling chicken sekuwa and rich curries with housemade cheese, are fantastic, especially when paired with a fluffy slice of garlic naan (which you should order in bulk for everyone as soon as you sit down).
