One of the Lower Haight's most popular restaurants, this cozy Victorian storefront never lacks for customers. Many of them come for the tandoori specialties -- chicken, lamb, breads -- but sag paneer (spinach with Indian cheese) and aloo gobhi (potatoes and cauliflower with black mustard seeds and other spices) are also excellent. This is not a place to linger over lassi (a cold yogurt drink) on Friday and Saturday nights, when the mostly twenty- and thirtysomething clientele waiting for tables overflows onto the sidewalk.
