Mission Curry House

Used to eat here a bunch before Covid. During Covid I ordered a few times and it was eh. Just no flavor. Went in and the food was fantastic. Flavorful, spicy without killing you but also adding to the flavor. Portions were big. Loved it and great leftovers. I got paneer tika masala and garlic naan. My friend got a yummy eggplant dish

Visited Mission Curry House on Sunday at noon for lunch. We were the only customers, yet service was surprisingly slow. Ordered Vegetable Pakora, Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Shank, and Jeera Rice. Started with complimentary thin chips and red/green sauces which were a nice touch. The standout dish was the Lamb Shank - very flavorful sauce, tender meat, and generous portion. The Jeera Rice was nicely prepared with turmeric for good color and flavor. Vegetable Pakora and Tandoori Chicken were delicious too. However, prices are about 10% more higher than other Mission Indian restaurants (like Aaha) without offering better food quality or presentation to justify the premium. Pros: Excellent Lamb Shank, good food quality, nice complimentary starters. Cons: Slow service, overpriced compared to nearby competitors. Good restaurant overall, but better value can be found elsewhere in the Mission.

Beautiful restaurant. Lots of art and color. Loved the chicken makhni and naan. The samosas tasted freshly fried and were great. Bengan bharta was very spicy and the saag paneer was solid, though quite rich. Service was very friendly.

I had an incredible dining experience at this Indian restaurant! The food was exceptional, especially the butter chicken, which was bursting with rich flavors and cooked to perfection. The vegetarian pakora was a great appetizer to start off the meal. The staff were not just pleasant but genuinely nice, ensuring top-notch service throughout our visit. The combination of fantastic food and a welcoming atmosphere makes this place a must-visit. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine!

I absolutely love this place! I've been coming here for years, and the food is always delicious every single time. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with their food. Everything on the menu is excellent, so you can't go wrong.

Food was not good. We got butter, chicken and tikka masala- disappointed. Chicken tasted like it was from Costco rotisserie-dry flavorless. Their naan was not very good -burnt and tough to chew -food tasted like it was very old. When you order sauce, rice should come with it. It’s ridiculous. You have to pay for rice and you get the tiniest amount. They did not have utensils included. Had to go buy some as we were visiting. Try other places.

Met up with a few friends for dinner that was halfway between their house and ours. Shared some appetizers (papadum, pakora etc.) and side (saag paneer). Their chicken tikka tandoori was pretty big that two people can share easily. My chicken tikka masala had enough leftover for breakfast the next day. (Hey, it’s the breakfast of champions!) it’s close enough to walk from a few bus lines.

I've had this place on my "to-eat in sf" list for a while now and was finally able to enjoy it. I brought a Nepali friend wit me as well and she loved it just as much as I did. The server was very kind and attentive and did his best to always make sure we were doing well. My friend spoke to the two servers in Nepali and was happy to be able to use her native language with the locals in the city. This is also how we found out that the restaurant owner is probably from Nepal which is what made the food so delicious and a great mix of Indian and Nepali flavors. The chicken momo was the first thing that came out and was visually beautiful and the flavors were truly outstanding to the point of it being some of the best momo I've tried in the bay. The chutney that accompanied it was so good my friend made sure to leave the container clean. My lamb vindaloo was again some of the best I've had. Not too spicy and not too mild. That along withe the cheese garlic naan was delicious and worty of another trip back. The chicken biryani my friend ordered was just as delicious as the rest of the foods and I would've loved to have more of it but I was stuffed with everything else! Cannot recommend this place enough. It's a must try!

This place is always consistent. Food is still a 10/10. Service is quick and staff members are friendly. Went for dinner on a Friday night and it was the busiest I've ever seen the place. Mission Curry House has always been super strong with takeout/delivery so it was a nice surprise to see a bunch of people in the restaurant. Tried the Chow Mein for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Tasted better than I was expecting. The only change is the menu. There's a QR Code on the table and you order through your phone and also pay through your phone.

The place is in a ghetto neighborhood and its filled with homeless people. Their butter chicken is good and naans are pretty decent. The chicken tikka masala was average though.

This place gets an A+ on service. The waiter was really friendly and talkative and told us about how the restaurant started and who the owner was and how the restaurant is unique....really interesting by guy. The food and prices were superb as well! One naan and curry was plenty for a full meal and leftovers! The gluten free naans are very unique to this restaurant -- we didnt get to try them during our visit, but would definitely try them next time. They're made of rice flour instead of traditional white flour... I've never seen that at any other restaurant

I have tried so many Indian spots in the Mission and I think this might be my favorite. The service was so great to start. The gentleman was so kind and had pleasant conversation. We got the chicken wings which had great flavor and a good kick to it. The naan was some of the best I have ever had!! I love curries and the tikka masala was extremely creamy and rich with flavor. The spot itself is a decent size and cool spot. I will definitely return!

I LOVE MISSION CURRY! This was our seventh time eating here. They never disappoint! We always order extra for left overs. Traveling over 2 hours is absolutely worth it.

I'll keep it simple. I love Indian food and am fairly knowledgeable about it. This place is super good, the best I've had in the city or on the peninsula. Do yourself a favor, find a friend or a date, and come split the Mission Thali. You'll like every part of it. Saag paneer was my personal favorite. Consider ordering some extra Naan, or better yet, puri (similar but fried). Pretty average prices for the city

First time at Mission curry and decided to go in on a holiday- Monday because we know there is more parking availability. It was about noon and we were the first customers. From the look of it, we could tell the establishment was well kept and tidy. The staff were very attentive and immediately gave us menus and took our order. We got the cheese dosa that came with sambar and two chilled dipping sauces, one was coconut based, we ordered the garlic naan, paneer tikka masala and the Bhindi masala. After ordering they brought us out a complimentary app that's like a thin spot shell with 3 dipping sauces, one spicy, one cilantro-y and one sweet. Honestly, I loved them all and especially together lol. Our food came out rather quickly and everything appeared super fresh. We loved the dosa with the sambar which we had never tried before and noticed how delicious and fresh the garlic naan was. The panner tikka had a light creamy flavor as we asked for mild and the okra came in a tomatoey sauce. All super good, I wanna go back to try more items.

Loved everything at Mission Curry House! Got the masala chai, Lamb Biryani, and Chicken Pakora. Chai - rich in flavor and spices! Lamb Biryani - large portion size (the bowl doesn't do it justice, it goes pretty deep) Chicken Pakora - just the right amount of spices. Not super crispy though because it was tossed in a spice but it was still delicious. Service was very friendly, attentive, and fast. Would come here again!

I came here with a friend on a Friday night and were seated immediately! Good: - The food was DELICIOUS - I was so happy with the food that came - We got some free papadum which was really tasty and flakey - Super friendly staff - we used the yelp 20% discount and they were accommodating - I loved the butter chicken and the paneer naan - there was so much flavor and it didn't feel as oily as other places - Nice seating near the window and it was a nice catchup ambiance - feels upscale for not upscale prices - Dosa was really great - loved the tomato dip and the potato Bad: - Food took 15 min or so to arrive, so I was hungry and excited when it finally came Overall this place was a solid experience, and I'm happy I came! I would come again.

The service was fast and attentive, they also cooked the food to great quality, and it was a great portion. It was also very quiet and a family restaurant type of atmosphere.

Yummy thats was really good, i love the good there and Also thats surprised me They offered to me many options and dessert and the attention and everything was good

Great ambiance, food and service are top notch! Please come and enjoy some amazing food made with love.

They do not skimp on the heat. Yow. Their curry was quite good, and the service was pretty quick. Prices are what you expect in this area, pretty on par if not inexpensive for the mission. They have vegan options and that's a plus. My table could've been a bit cleaner, but it'll do.

Honestly some of the best indian food I've ever had in the states! And such good price too! Highly recommend the chicken tikka masala and saag paneer. They also give complimentary appetizer.

Truly a hidden gem in the city! This is one of my fave places to go to for Indian food. I've consistently gone back several times for specifically the butter chicken (medium spicy), butter naan (which I like more than the garlic even though I am a garlic girl), and the Mango Lassi. The place is normally quite empty so seating isn't issue, but the main issue is finding parking. It's great for a simple date night with good food and being able to hear and have a conversation with your partner or friends. The servers are also so kind and attentive!

Great ambiance, amazing food and prices! We've been here twice now and it has become our favorite indian spot in the area. Friendly staff as well!

The food was AMAZING everything melts in your mouth and still tastes amazing reheated! Our waiter was so nice and gave us great recommendations . The place was also really empty so it was quiet and a nice place to catch up with friends!

The hours are awesome. They are open until 10pm Orders always accurate which is a rarity in the Door Dash world This is Another 1 time a week place for us. First what we order all the time and love: Butter chicken masala 5 of 5 excellent Chicken Tikka Masala 5 of 5 super tasty Aloo Gobi 5 of 5 regular naan 5 of 5 Basmati ride 4 of 5 Just OK will not order again: Saag Paneer: It is a shame because this is my fav vege dish and it's just not fresh here but thankfully the stuff above is GREAT Tandoori chicken wings: Can be excellent or terrible 1st 3 times great last 2 times a hot mess GF garlic naan had so much garlic you could not taste food or naan (impressive GF naan though just too much crap on it)

You know a place is good when you are already looking forward the next visit as you're eating 5/5 service - waiter is very friendly and attentive. Unlike other palces where you can order and pay from a QR code where servers havea DGAF attitude, the guy was even more attentive than if he were the one attending and we had some nice conversations about various topics. A plus, my water glass was never not filled at just the right time. 4.5/5 food - 5 out of the 6 things we ordered hit it out of the park, and the fifth was decent but not up tot he standard of the others 5/5 ambience Veg Momo's - delicious. I've had veggie Momo's at three different spots including Base Camp and these were the best and great value. Paneer Chow mein- this is not the same as Chinese style chowmein. It is nepalese style with generous paneer spears that were nicely spiced and seared for flavor. Would get this again and again Malai Kofta - The sauce is so rich and creamy and the kofta was delicious as well. Mushrooms - I forget the name of the dish, but this was the one that was sub par due to a small portion and the flavor wasn't as robust as the other dishes Garlic naan - I have noticed differently places sirve different naan - some are more rigid and thin, some soft and fluffy, soem soft and flaky. I liked the ones here a lot, All in all, it was a lovely meal and I am looking forward to coming back.

I always come here during lunch hours. There are sooo many good indian restaurants in the mission, but honestly this beats them all. Goat curry is bomb and a bit spicy is much better. The mild version is a bit watered down. If you want your curry, make sure to come here! Service is very quick and the interior is so pleasant and clean.

Went here for the first time today and am raving about the Tandoori appetizer. It's a full plate of chicken, lamb, and onions, and the sauce is so much richer and more complex than the usual "Red powder in the oven" kind. Served on an iron platter it comes out scorching... accordingly cooked maybe a little too much. Shrimp biryani was delicious and had a lot of large prawns. Atmosphere is very nice, and spacious. $50 for lunch for two isn't that crazy these days.

Place was empty for lunch, which was surprising cause it was pretty yummy. I just got the butter chicken, and ordered it spicy, which it was. Also got a garlic naan, which was really good. Before I got my lunch, they came out with a papadam with 3 sauces, which were all nice and tasty. Overall, place is solid. I'll go back. Service was kinda slow, but I was ok with that as I was in no rush.

Mission curry house is an excellent spot to eat Indian food. I took my mom and grandma (both from india) here and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. They give you a complimentary light appetizer of paapad to start. We ordered the Gobi Manchurian which was not dry but phenomenal. I highly recommend getting their paneer dishes you simply can't go wrong. Their garlic naans were huge and extremely tasty. In general their spice level of spicy was very spicy, for most of my dishes I enjoyed medium. I will definitely come back again!

One of the best Indian spots in town. The restaurant was decorated very traditionally and though we arrived right before closing the staff was very courteous and gave us a great window seat. Our waiter gave amazing recommendations and we shared everything family style. They gave us free papadum and chutney appetizers for start. We had the chicken tikka masala and coconut lamb curries, which were both so different but each spectacular. Garlic naan was delicious with the curries or even just by itself. Also got vegetable momos which were super flavorful. Had enough leftovers for dinner!

Empty on a Saturday night but that didn't mean the service and food wasn't good. Servers were really accommodating, food was delicious and beautiful, they had Malbecs, and a v well decorated dining room. Not fusion, pretty traditional but all solid dishes. The star was the coconut lamb curry!

Decided to try this place during my lunch time and wow the food was amazing. Staff was very friendly. Place has a cool vibe, you really experience the culture. I ordered the buttery chicken, basmati rice and garlic naan bread for one person.

We got the cheese dosa, paneer tikka masala, okra, and garlic naan. All very good. All fresh ingredients and good vegetarian options. Service was friendly and provided information of the items (considerate of our spice levels). The place (and the men's bathroom) was clean. Also the to to go containers are nicely compact. Overall would come back and try other items.

Revisiting my favorite places in San Francisco for food this week. Mission Curry has one of my favorite Indian food in San Francisco. The butter chicken is delicious.

I dined in here the other night, and while the food is great, I can't recommend eating at the restaurant. There was only one other table of diners, and then one guy who worked there sitting in the middle of the dining room listening to or watching something on his phone on speaker. It was super annoying and distracting. I'll be doing takeout from here from now on.

Extremely rude customer service. My friend, (a tall, 6 foot 4 white man), and I (a south asian woman) arrived about an hour before closing time and were seated by the waiter. After looking over the menu for a bit, the waiter began to make a series of demeaning comments, asking "are you lost?" to my friend as he looked over the menu. We brushed off the comment and ordered a drink, and he later returned to take the rest of our order, only to receive more belittling comments like "that's a lot of food" directed at my friend. Excuse me??? Eventually we were told that our order was too large to eat at the restaurant and we'd have to take it to go. Never mind the fact that the waiter had taken our drink order already, or that at least 4 other tables at the restaurant were occupied by patrons (2 of which were just served their food), or that he had sat us down to serve us in the first place. Essentially refusing to serve us, and not even apologizing for it! With these clear attempts to demean my dinner partner, it is hard not to conclude that the server was threatened by a white man and a brown woman duo at dinner. What is this, the 1950s? Projecting your insecurities onto others is even more insane when it causes you to lose business. I will not be back.

All your favorite traditional Northern Indian dishes. I especially love their vegetable korma. Super clean, super friendly service. You'll be going back regularly after your first meal

Food was amazing prepared very nice and waiter was very kind to we had a great time and we'll definitely go back

a rainy day visit to mission district. i chose 5 restaurants 4 the day. 1st choice was closed. we ended up 2nd choice, but it was the right choice. we ordered 5 selections from menu. 2 vegetarians of momos & samosas, a rice entree of lamb biryani & mango lassis. we were served comp papadums with 3 dipping sauces. best nepalese dumpling skins r light, not heavy, which these were. mango lassi was on the overly sweet side, but i added the yogurt dipping sauce to tone down sweetness. overall, we enjoyed our hindu nepalese cuisine, and their attentive service. the ambiance was top notch in comparison to my local north beach vicinity indian restaurants

Sometimes you don't want nothing fancy. Sometimes you just want good, solid, reliable curry. Today was the first time I went with my mother to pick up curry from here (don't be mistaken, it's not our first time here. I'm usually in the car) and the inside is very nice, pretty big and spacious but empty on a weekend at peak dinner hours. For why? I do not know but I know one thing: it is most certainly not because of their food. We ordered our usual default foods: saag paneer, coconut chicken curry, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, naan. Each dish was a banger. Pictures? I have none. I was too busy eating. I cannot vouch more for this restaurant. It's delicious, it's a solid, and there's nothing that can go wrong. We've been ordering from here since the beginning for the pandemic and haven't stopped.

Really enjoyed coming here for dinner. The menu has great variety and is all incredibly tasty. Loved their chicken 65. Lots of gluten free options.

Wonderful find in The Mission! While I scanned their extensive menu for take away, I ordered a small plate, the calamari Pakora ($9.75). The appetizer was on the petit size but perfectly executed. The calamari was very fresh, springy in texture and lightly fried in a shattering chickpea batter. While I wished for two or three more bites, I'd rather have fewer bites of something excellent than the alternative. Plus it was really good, I wanted to keep eating! The dipping sauces were beautifully plated; I enjoyed them in single dabs then a mix/match of flavors. My son and I both had lamb dishes. He had the lamb shank ($15.95) that was so savory but just a little bit chewy. It could've used more braising time but it was still tender. I had lamb saag ($13.95) and it was delicious. Again, I would've braised the lamb a touch longer. It was still tender but just shy of perfection. The flavors were deep and savory and while you could taste the individual seasonings, they played in perfect symphony. And, they had gluten free naan! I choose the garlic and pesto one. We'll scare away vampires for a few nights. Frankly I didn't expect the gluten free naan to have such a delicious chew- that lovely, slightly stretchy and toothsome bite that gluten imparts. It did! While the texture was slightly different than its gluten packed cousin, Mission Curry achieved a great texture and flavor in this gluten-free form. It was a standout menu item. Mission Curry is a large restaurant so you'll have lots of personal space. It's also immaculately clean, every surface. Service is kind and attentive. 4.85/5 all around, strong in food, service and atmosphere

honestly.... soooooo good. got this place rec'd from a friend who is extremely opinionated about south asian / indian food. needless to say, was extremely pleased with everything here. friend and I got rice, the chicken momos, the coconut chicken curry, and garlic naan. honestly.. . everything was fantastic here. the momos were the only thing that I would not get (they were just alright but still quite good) but the menu is extensive and there are so many things to try. also the pricing was very reasonable as well for the amount of food that we consumed and the wait staff / service was quick as well 10/10 would come back again and honestly... one of the better places in sf

Ordered take out from here twice. The first time I ordered the chicken biryani which was very flavorful and delicious. The second time I ordered the chicken tikka masala and some rice. I wasn't blown away by the curry, it was a little too creamy and the chicken was slightly tough. I would go again just for the biryani!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I personally feel like Indian food is super underrated amongst the Asian community. I know many friends who shy away from Indian food even though they haven't tried it because it "smells". Personally I think Indian food has some of the best flavors you can get in a dish and this place does it justice. I've been here in the past and it was a pleasant surprise. Most of the Indian restaurants I've been to were buffets but this was all A la Carte. Definitely more expensive than the usual buffet but the flavors and quality was all worth it. For anyone whose starting out with Indian food, the butter chicken is a classic that anyone can enjoy. The salmon saag (spinach curry) was also delightful as I was looking for dish with vegetables. The best thing to pair with curries will always be basmati rice and some sort of naans. PLEASE do yourself a favor and get the amazing garlic naan. You will not regret it.

My friend and I was craving some indian food so he took me to this spot that he had before. We got samosas as appetizers and this was my second time trying samosas and I honestly just think that I'm not the biggest fan of them. It's just a bit too dry to me and filling in them just wasn't what I expected. Don't think it's the restaurant, I think it's just not my thing. For our entree we got the classic Butter Chicken Curry and you could never go wrong with that. First bite got me doing my little happy food dance, super creamy, rich and packed with a good portion of chicken! We also ordered the Salmon Saag Curry which I've never had before but it was well worth the try!! It's creamed spinach with garam masala, fenugreek and chunks of grilled salmon. It honestly does not look the most appetizing but it was actually really good! Also a must get at any Indian spot is naan, we got their Garlic Naan. Super soft, nice char and super garlicky! It honestly pairs super well with any curry you get and is a staple!! Service was also great, the lady that served us was super sweet and helpful!

My husband and I just got in from Washington DC (SFO), and he wanted some Indian curry. I Googled and found this place that had great reviews, so we left SFO around 9:15 pm. and got there before they closed. He ordered chicken curry to take home. While waiting, he talked to the owner about the business. Although the business has fantastic reviews, the owner told him the business is very slow since covid-19 pandemic and the extreme rise in crime that people are afraid to come to the area. He along with so many other businesses are struggling, and to the government I say YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!! Cities like San Francisco are loosing great eateries due to not using tough-love to deal with these social ills! My husband LOVED the Chicken curry. God-willing, we will be back. Please support this lovely Indian curry restaurant.

Mission Curry House is conveniently located right on Mission Street. This restaurant offers various curries and other Indian dishes. Notably, this restaurant offers gluten-free naan and curries. They commit to using the freshest available, locally sourced ingredients. They also commit to using highest quality imported herbs and spices. Inside is very spacious. There are many seating arrangements ranging from small to large. Everything is tidy and organized. There are small touches of cultural to traditional decor which adds on the charm. Service was great and staff were extremely friendly. I was given free papadum for appetizer along with three different dipping sauces and it was good. However, I was not enthused to see a major lack of vegan options here when it is claimed to have vegan options. It is definitely leaning towards vegetarian and gluten-free. I ordered the coconut vegetable curry dish and it wasn't tasty. The gluten-free naan also was pretty plain. This is a standard Indian restaurant at best and I will not be back.

This place was nearby a bar and was certainly worth a visit. It seemed a little quiet during dinner hours so my group had the whole place to ourselves. The service was fast and approachable. The food was pretty good and had decently sized portions. I got the chicken momos and chicken biryani both of which tasted pretty standard but delicious. I would recommend checking it out amongst all the other Indian places.

Came on a Saturday evening and the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. The service was great and the servers came Vmbt often to refill water and check on things. The meal came with a free side, which wasn't too heavy and enough to whet the appetite. I got the lamb vindaloo with some rice as a side. The lamb was a lil spicy but very flavorful and delicious. I especially enjoyed the cumin flavored rice with fennel seeds! Solid service and pretty good Indian food overall.

This place serves some of the best Indian food I've had in SF, and definitely the best in the Mission. Loved everything we ordered: Samosa, Chana Masala, Dosa, Lamb Saag, Seekh Kebab, and garlic Naan. The service was excellent and ambiance was nice and welcoming. I'll definitely be back.

The place is a great value! The food is very good, portion sizes are decent, and prices are reasonable. They have decent size dining room--easy to walk in and grab dinner on a whim but they also do take out (DoorDash).

I've lived in the area for a few years and my love for this place has steadily grown. Friends I've brought here have raved about the food and the value -- yet it always seems to be nearly empty. The curries and naans here are outstanding. The tomato-based curries in particular are bright, gingery and flavorful. I sometimes wake up craving them. The dosas are good, too, but I always go for curry here.

I normally love this place but tonight's meal was just disgusting. The chicken was in shreds and brown and the taste was so watered down. I ordered spicy and it was just awful.
