- CCathyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •84 reviews4.0Dined on 27 Feb 2025We were a party of three, sharing all the entrees. We chose samosa's to start while enjoying cocktails. The waiter clued us in to the Happy Hour prices, which was nice of him. For dinner, we chose Murgh Masala and Chicken Tikka Marsala and the lamb chops. The lamb chops are great for sharing because there were about 4 chops. The chops are very small, but delicious. But because they are small, order them rare - ours were medium and were a bit overcooked (our problem). We added Keema Naan and an order of Pulao rice. There was enough food to share with no leftovers. We all enjoyed the spices and flavors. The service was attentive. The room is quite big, with nothing to tamp down the room noise, so it was a little loud. We were still able to visit, but with a little difficulty. We agreed we would return and would recommend to others.More infoRasoiPrice: Moderate• Indian• Burlingame•4.7
