We came for lunch at noon but looks so quiet here. food is good, service is great with reasonable price. Hopefully they will be busy after we left. Previous review said about buffet but we guess the buffet is distant memory. Also get ready to dance while you eat. After the meal, I found myself on top of the table dancing to the incredible music playing in the background. 😂😂😅🤣🤣😅

My recent visit to Star India's Indian Cuisine was a culinary adventure. The restaurant offers a wide variety of Indian dishes, with the Lamb Bone-In, Chicken Tikka Masala, and warm Naan bread stealing the show. To top it off, the Mango Ice Cream dessert was a refreshing delight. The service was prompt, and the buffet spread was impressive. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or a newcomer, Star India's buffet is a great way to savor a diverse selection of flavors. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Good traditional Indian food and attentive service. Mixed Tandoori Appetizer is quite tasty. Sauces are creamy and not too thick. Saffron Rice was also flavorful. Desserts are available and sweet. It feels like this a family operated business. Staff is attentive, friendly and not annoying. Clean restrooms. We can recommend this place for a business lunch as well as family dinner.

Star India is affordable, clean, uniquely decorated and also, provided with quality service. The staff is helpful as well as welcoming, the food is tasty, affordable, and there is a wide variety to choose from. Make sure to go to the buffet at $21.95 lunchtime, daily.

Food is okay, lack flavors. Less variety for buffet. Dessert was not at all fresh, I couldn’t finish. Gulab Jamun was cold and not soft at all. Need to improve quality of food and add more flavors to make it taste better for the price.

Loved this restaurant! Tried chicken tikka masala with house special rice…one of the best in Bay Area!!! Goes perfect with mango lassi! Also, customer service is top notch (even got a complement ice-cream)😍 Definitely recommend this place!!!

The place itself is so nice, and our waitress was extremely kind and welcoming. The food was absolutely to die for. We got the garlic naan, veggie samosas and chicken tikka masala. The naan and samosas were crispy and fluffy, while the chicken tikka masala was light and creamy. 10/10 recommend.

I should probably preface my review that I was having the lunch buffet, as I typically review full-service restaurants. The lunch buffet was gone for a while during the pandemic, and has returned, although with a much higher price: $21.95. Higher price, I can accept, but not poor service. I have been here a few times in the last two months, and while I can't claim that at $21.95, the buffet is a good value, given the small selection of foods they carry, they do have something I enjoy, which is lamb. Therefore, while I know I don't need to tip the typical 15%-20% at a buffet (typically I am told to tip $1-2 per person), I always tip as if I were in a regular restaurant, because I like to support smaller restaurants. However, today's experience really has me thinking if I would ever visit again. When I arrived at around 11:30AM (they open at 11AM), there was literally one single piece of lamb in the buffet. I took the piece and inquired if the owner could please get some more lamb. Reluctantly, she agreed. About 20 minutes later, she brought out some lamb, so I went there to get some more. And she has the nerve to tell me, "Make sure you leave some for other customers. " I said that, because the amount she prepared for a BUFFET is paltry to what it should be. I got like 3-4 pieces of lamb, and that was about 2/3 of the amount she brought out, LITERALLY. (see photos) I didn't want to argue with her, so I finished my food quickly (and also for the first time at this restaurant, only tipped a couple of dollars because I was just so upset with the way I have been treated.) I think it's perfectly ok for my parents to tell me to leave some food for others, but at a buffet, this is unreasonable, especially given how little food there was to start with (and then the tinyu. amount of lamb with which the restaurant refilled the serving tray). I am sorry to say, this is a restaurant I will never visit again. It's not reasonable having to spend about $30 and then be told how to eat at a buffet. Yes, I didn't dress in my normal Pata***** and Coto****, but that's no excuse to treat someone, period. (By the way, I noticed immediately the difference in the way I was treated at the moment I walked in, because they didn't recognize me as they usually did, and I can only assume it's the clothing I was wearing, which is the only difference).

Great place to taste Indian food at downtown San Francisco! We had lunch buffet at this place and there were 12-16 dishes apart from 2 desserts and Salad bar. Food tastes great specially chicken tandoori, butter chicken, beef curry and the gulab jamun is just awesome! However, there naan bread hardens very fast as it cools while you are yet to finish it. This place has a nice environment, clean bathroom and very well behaved staff. Paid street parking available and we it was around $3 for 2 hours iirc. Overall I do recommend this place!

Great service, woman server even came out to help us park since we were out of towners. The naan was thin but buttery and garlicky like I love. The sauces of the chicken and veggie masala were flavorful, savory, and not watery. I also loved how tasty, crunchy, hearty, and packed with flavor their lamb samosa was.

Beautiful decorations inside & outside. Neat and clean. Very delicious food . We enjoy a lot . Customer service is awesome👌👌 thank you guys. Just rest room needs to be more clean rest everything was perfectly fine .

Overpriced, small portions with mediocre taste. My meal cost $13 pre-tax and tip, which I’m happy to pay for, for a place with either big portions or phenomenal taste. This place had neither; we got a small bowl of chicken tikka masala, which was *quite* watery and not at all creamy. I make chicken tikka masala regularly, and in order to get this consistency, you have to *purposefully* water it down. I’m really not a fan of cheapening creamy chicken tikka masala in this way. Definitely /would not/ go again.

Went for lunch today for the first time with my husband. The lunch buffet was really delicious. It was very quiet and peaceful inside, and clean. Service was very nice. After tax and tip our meal was about $57 for the 2 of us. We live in the neighborhood and will definitely be back for lunch or ordering take out!

The service was fabulous, food was delicious and quick, and the atmosphere was cozy and enjoyable! We had a great experience! Even brought our baby in the stroller & there was plenty of space! Highly recommend.

We travel the U.S. and the world always seeking out good Indian food options. Star India was amazing. Maybe the best Indian food we can remember. Our waiter was kind, thoughtful to details and helpful.

The food was so amazing! We loved every single bite. The service was delightful.

Ordered on Grubhub. Paid $16 for probably 3oz of chicken and the rest was loose sauce (in cup). Tasted fine, but this is not at all filling or worth the money.

I needed a meal after visiting the Indian embassy around the corner and was reluctant to go in because the reviews said that they did not have a buffet, but I found that they have recently resumed the buffet. Fresh piping-hot naan is brought directly to your table which is a nice touch that other Indian buffets lack these days. I suggest ordering a mango lassi to go with your meal. The server Dominic was very attentive to my needs. Dev Borem Korum, Dominic.

This place always is outstanding. I have been looking for a place that was as good as the places in Chicago. This really brought me back. The service is very personable. The food is outstanding and the Flying Horse is cold. Compared to the other places near Geary or Clement I am surprised it is not rated higher. Better food and people than the rest!!:)

The food was below average and so was the service. What threw me off was the quantity of food which was very very less in one portion compared to what we paid for. We ordered butter naan which neither had butter nor did it seem like Naan. Seemed like they served us hard tandoori rotis instead & charged us the cost of naan. Not good at all. And they only have one person waiting on everyone i.e. they were severely understaffed. The bill came out to be over $100 for just 3 dishes! Extremely expensive! Won't be eating here again.

Came for lunch and enjoyed the delicious, freshly made lamb curry, dal makhani with rice and naan. The food was very flavorful and service was apt. We had masala chai and it was very well freshly made. Enjoyed my lunch here. I will come again pretty soon.

A good one for a South Indian visiting sfo. A good preparation. Tasty. Decent portions. Saffron rice was great. Indian yogurts preparations not good at all guess they lack receipe details to prepare an authentic South Indian yogurt. Better than nothing

Soulful and Comfort food without a doubt !!!! 😊I was feeling sick and asked Dominique for some Hearty food and he served Goan Fish Curry & Rice with Kheer :) It was so comforting and tasty that this would be my regular go to place :) Thank you Dominique!!!

the curry was good but it bit too much tomato sauce and not enough coconut milk. More spice than flavor but still pretty good

Great ambience and excellent service. They have variety of Jain options(without onion and garlic). The bhindi and paneer tastes really good.

Very cool place that's open till 1030pm on Friday. Pretty empty when we went. Tip : Get 2 servings of a few choices and share.

Dominic , who is from Goa India is super friendly. Restaurant opened few weeks back after pandemic. Yet food was really good, Samosa, thin crispy Roti, very tasty cottage cheese and peas curry, and free Chai Indian Tea!!! Local stores like these need our support.

We had the lunch buffet. The chicken tikka masala, lamb, & naan were excellent. I highly recommend the mango ice cream if you have room for dessert. The staff is very nice. Can't wait to eat here again!

Super food. Fully satisfied. Forgot to click the pic of the main dish as we were so hungry. Buffet was too good specially non veg items.
