Great Food. Naan like I have never seen before. All items were great. They give a big portion.

I was very excited to try this place. This was about 2 months ago. I ordered butter chicken, rice and Naan bread. I am usually asked when it's spicy how spicy do I want it...not this place. I ordered it to go and when I got to eating it. It was extremely spicy. It was so spicy I could not continue eating it. Advice to the owner if you are gonna by default make the dish spicy let it be known to the customer. Never again will set foot at place.

The food was amazing and authentic! The atmosphere was very hospitable and welcoming, and the staff was very patient, kind, and helpful. Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever tasted! Definitely a must-try for those in the San Fran area. They even have gluten-free naan! Such a good place.

I arrived on time and was able to be seated immediately. Multiple waiters came to the table and one seemed a bit impatient but overall the service was good. The food was tasty and delicious. The naan are humongous and I'm not complaining! Beer and wine are available with a decent number of choices. I've been to Rose a couple of times and I would definitely go again.

Everything we ordered was super delicious ?? Excellent service and very friendly staff!Loved how they explained what every dish was. Background music was pleasant ??

Best customer service I have ever had. Amazing waiter, beautiful smiles all around, great energy. They are so observant, mindful and aware of everything that needs to be done and peoples needs. The food was amazing and the best Indian I’ve ever had.Sincerely one of the greatest restaurant experiences.Ratings are hard because sometimes people have bad days and others don’t understand that, so they give them bad ratings, but I promise you this place makes you feel like royalty.They even helped an elderly homeless man with Down syndrome to the bathroom. It was precious and made my heart sing.

For a birthday

Incredible food coupled with a friendly, clean and lovely ambience makes this place a neighborhood gem as well as a foodie destination. Couldn't have asked for better food or service and plan on returning often.

it's been a couple years since I went to this restaurant and the food was not as good as it was before.the chicken tikka masala had this weird flavor like they use powdered milk or powdered cream or something and it tasted kind of cheesy. the tomato that they used for it also seems like it's canned and not fresh and I did not taste any fresh tomatoes in it. I make chicken tikka masala myself at home and my version tastes a thousand times better than this restaurant's version and only cost a fraction of the price. the portions of spices they used in the tikka masala was not correct and it was also not cooked long enough to allow the spices to get into the sauce.the salmon tandoori was overdone. it was all black on the outside when they delivered it. aside from that the inside was really dry and the fish was not fresh. the onions had the right flavoring but they were missing the garam masala sauce that goes over the actual fish so the whole meal was kind of dry.the lamb chops was actually done okay even though it was also overdone and black on the outside. they had onions and lemon at the bottom for favoring.the biryani rice was cooked to the right consistency but it was pretty plain to me. the only dressing they did with it was putting a few peas on the top. usually at other restaurants they spice up their biryani rice and it tastes a lot better. I'm just glad they at least cook the rice to the right consistency.the papadum was actually done okay. you can't really go wrong with papadum. although the waiter did forget about my second order of papadum but it was okay because they let us have it for free.I also drank a mango drink but I feel like they added some extra stuff into it because it was really thick and tasted kind of chalky, they put some kind of filler in it in order to give it more volume. I do not recommend the drink.I didn't really have any of the naan but judging by the fact that my family did not want to take it home I feel like it was not very good. the consistency of the naan was anywhere from thin to thick. it reminded me more of a pizza crust than naan.the service was pretty good though the waiters kept asking us if we needed anything and asking us how we were. there was no polite way of communicating to them the quality of the food while we're eating there, less chance of them messing with our food.the restaurant is kind of empty at the moment so you can probably find seats but most people order out, I think my family counted about 30 people getting take out while we ate there.

Ten stars. Seriously. Tandoori mixed platter (no salmon for me). Also chili chicken (requested face-melting-hot and they obliged)The struggle here is avoiding hyperbole while remaining accurate; Ingredient quality, quantity, recipe, cooking, and presentation were literally perfect. Best meal I can remember, possibly ever. Only complaint is it will haunt my dreams. Was looking forward to returning before I even left. And yes service was tip top. None of this seems like adequate praise either. Obviously a must-try. ??
