    This is the best Indian food I have ever experienced. I am a New Yorker who also lived in So Cal, had lots of dining experiences, but Roti consistently excels. Try and go every week Friendly staff and mgmt.

    I have been going to Roti for years, and had not been there in some time, it definitely has changed - I ordered the tandoori plate and it was not all tandori I was very disappointed in that dish for $31.00; especially it wa not tandoori chicken and I expected chunks of lamb but it was lamb I think roll with spices, all the portions have definitely been reduced and prices raised. It was good but not the best. They used to serve chai tea free, now they charge $5.00/cup!

    This is my favorite "go-to" Indian restaurant in San Francisco. Absolutely the most delicious food in the northern Indian tradition that I've ever had. The service is just right and the owner is very nice and charming, too. I would (and do!) recommend it to anyone wanting a wonderful Indian cuisine experience.

    Roti Indian Bistro is by far one of my favorite Indian restaurants. The food is consistently great, as well as the service and atmosphere. I'd highly recommend this restaurant for all occasions.
