    This restaurant has been here a long time, but I only discovered it about a year ago. Everything is fresh, clean, and quite delicious. This restaurant is easy for a variety of dietary needs. The food is incredibly aromatic and flavorful without being salty. The chai is delicious and as it should be. We take all our visitors here. Ambiance is a perfect balance of light, without it being too dark to read the menus or overly bright. Service is attentive - someone in our party was thinking aloud about ordering another beverage when it appeared.

    A real neighborhood gem. There were several large parties, and lots of small table. The decor is comfortable and colorful. The service is very friend, even when they are very busy. The food is spectacular! Try mixing the spicy pickles into your dishes (just be ready for heat).

    Roti is our go to for Indian food in the City. It is easy to get to on Muni a few steps from the West Portal station. They always have interesting and worth trying specials throughout the year. The Tikka Masala is outstanding and always worth having. The service is great, friendly, helpful and pleasant. Ask for their special red hot sauce if you want to add a kick to your meal.
