Lahore Karahi

Revisited what is considered to be one of the best Indian/Pakistani restaurants in San Francisco last night. As with most of the best Indian places, Lahore Karahi is a little divey. It's in the Tenderloin (one of the less nice parts of San Francisco) but it's worth the trip. Prices are reasonable verging on cheap for Indian food.


The thing that sets this place apart from your standard Indian spot, is that the food has much deeper more complex flavors and also feels less greasy. I tried a bunch of stuff including Tikka Masala and Vindaloo (standards), a few types of Naan, and a vegeterian spinach dish. The Vindaloo was my favorite dish of the evening with an earthy spiciness that maintained a lot of flavor with a lot of spice. The biryanis were also quite good and spicier than I'm used to- which, of course, I love.

Definitely going back here next time I want good Indian food and don't mind goiing out of my way to get it.
