"Tiya is a great upscale birthday option for a date. The swanky Indian spot offers a four-course $95 prix-fixe, making it one of the best-value tasting menus in the city. For a less confining option, a la carte is available in a separate dining room—both provide access to our favorite dishes here— like the yogurt chaat, butter chicken, and goat ghee roast tacos." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
"At the edge of Cow Hollow, seasonal produce like squash blossoms, artichokes, and ramps bring a Californian edge to an intriguing contemporary take on Indian cuisine. Both à la carte and tasting options give equal billing to winners like a keema-style jackfruit with crunchy potato, or an eggless take on a bhurji roll, made with paneer and crispy kataifi. The elegant room adds an additional layer of sophistication, down to a well-appointed bar, which offers unique cocktails named in honor of San Francisco neighborhoods." - Michelin Inspector
"Tiya is a fancy Indian restaurant in the Marina that’s split in two. On one side is the stiffer white tablecloth-ed tasting menu room with a four-course $95 prix-fixe and on the other is a more casual a la carte area filled with bar stools, booths, and big groups. We prefer ordering a la carte and focusing on what Tiya does best: small plates. Get the goat ghee roast taco, the yogurt chaat with crispy potato and edible flowers, and the tiger shrimp xec xec dotted with gooseberry chutney. Reserve the tasting menu for a romantic night out or a special occasion." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"When it comes to fancy Indian food that’s more dressed up than the Balboa crowd on a Saturday night, Tiya is the logical choice. The duck seekh kebab, which looks like ants on a log grew up and found itself, could be cut with a soup spoon. And don’t skip the paneer bhurji roll, a kataifi-coated cylinder of cheese and finely diced veggies that nails creamy and crispy simultaneously. Every available surface in this place is covered in velvet or floral wallpaper, which sets the scene for a night that’ll make you feel like someone who has their own motorcade. And if you’re in an especially all-out mood, go big with the seven course tasting menu ($95)." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"When brothers Sujan and Pujan Sarkar opened this slick South Asian restaurant in spring 2024, it came as a pleasant surprise the upscale cuisine was so allergen-friendly. There are full tasting menus for vegetarian and vegan diners. The tandoori avocado, featured on the vegan coursed menu, centers the gorgeously grilled fruit atop a stroke of green chickpea hummus, a dosa crisp supporting. This is the move for high-end vegan restaurant work in San Francisco right now." - Paolo Bicchieri
