Golden Gate Indian Cuisine & Pizza

I have been going here every Sunday since I moved here a few months back, and this was the first Indian restaurant I had tried. The person that works there is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and gives me many of options when I want to try something new. I enjoy eating their Chicken Tikka Massla Pizza; it's really wonderful. Despite being empty the place is peaceful and pleasant, and the jazz music in the background is pleasant. If you're new to the city or want to taste Indian food, I highly recommend this eatery!

As we entered the restaurant, there were no guests. We still chose it for dinner. The restaurant is family run. The food was delicious, we had the Chicken Makhanwala (butter chicken) and garlic Naan bread. Be careful, the rice is not included, you have to order it separately for 4$. They gave us free tap water. The service could be better, the young lady only came to take the orders and serve the food. We got free wifi. The price is a little high for the amount you get but I would still recommend going there!

I was out at Ocean Beach at sunset, starving afterwards and looking for a place open late before my long 1 hour journey on the bus back to my lodging. Found this place open late and have been wanting to try an Indian-style pizza, so I had to! Of course, I can never resist mango lassi or pakora - both were fantastic (along with their sauces). The Tikka Masala pizza was good for sure, but I'll admit I was expecting a bit more of typical tikka masala sauce as the base. It was more or less lots of veggies/herbs and tandoori chicken. They were SUPER friendly as well, no complaints!

It’s a nice family owned restaurant with great service and many options. The Indian food is not at the level of the best I’ve had in the Bay Area, but it is close hits the spot.

Located in outer sunset, Golden Gate Indian Cuisine & Pizza offers an extensive menu from Indian to pastas and pizzas. I remember trying them couple of years ago when I first visited SF. Back then I tried their samosas, curries and kabab. They were pretty good. I believe they are still good. This time I tried their hot spicy chicken pizza and samosa. While samosa did taste hood, pizza was very unappetizing. On top of that it was burnt. The cheese wasn’t of the best quality and it was nowhere near spicy. For a small pizza and over twenty dollars, I would skip it. The chicken was overly colored, could be the same chicken they use for Tandooris. I would still try their Indian dishes though.

The place is locked away from crowd and crowded street, the interiors look okay. Food is good just about okayish. However the tables are cleaned and maintained. It kinda stinks of the left over food. Service is okay. The kids managing mess up the bills. If you don’t check the amount bill you might end up paying for others meal

This is the best Indian food in SF and I’ve eaten at a lot of places. The family is very nice that owns and runs the place. The Rikki Marsala pizza is great! Also the vegetarian tiki Marsala sauce is so good and the garlic naan. They deliver for orders 25 and up. Oh and there veggie pakora and samosas are good too

Here’s a revised review with some unique Indian-inspired pizza dishes included: --- I recently had the pleasure of dining at [Restaurant Name], and it was an unforgettable experience! The moment I stepped in, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, whose attentiveness and friendliness set the tone for the entire evening. The ambiance was inviting, with the perfect blend of traditional Indian decor and modern touches that created a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was a vibrant explosion of flavors, showcasing the richness and diversity of Indian cuisine. We started with the **tandoori wings**, which were perfectly spiced and juicy, offering a smoky, flavorful kick. But what truly surprised us were the Indian-inspired pizzas. The **chicken tikka masala pizza** was an absolute delight, with tender pieces of chicken tikka layered over a bed of creamy, spiced masala sauce, topped with fresh herbs and melted cheese. The **paneer tikka pizza** was equally impressive, with chunks of marinated paneer and a burst of flavors from the spices, perfectly complemented by the crispy, thin crust. For those who love a bit of heat, the **spicy lamb keema pizza** was a standout, offering a unique twist with its blend of minced lamb, green chilies, and fragrant spices. What truly stood out, however, was the service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had a perfect dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations based on our preferences. Our glasses were never empty, and they checked in regularly to make sure everything was to our liking without ever being intrusive. Their genuine care and attention to detail made us feel like honored guests. Overall, [Restaurant Name] is a gem of a restaurant that I cannot recommend highly enough. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or looking to try something new and exciting like their Indian-inspired pizzas, this place will leave you wanting to come back for more. The combination of exquisite food and exceptional service makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a truly special dining experience.
