Mehfill is a hidden gem when it comes to Indian cuisine, offering some of the best dishes I've tried. Their malai kofta is rich and creamy, with perfectly balanced flavors that melt in your mouth. The palak paneer is another standout--smooth, with a delicious blend of spices that makes it a comforting dish. The rotis are soft and freshly made, perfect for scooping up every bit of sauce. And the biryani is a must-try, with aromatic rice and tender, flavorful pieces that make each bite satisfying. Even though it's not a widely known spot, the quality of the food here is excellent, making it a go-to place for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors. It's the kind of place that you're glad you stumbled upon, and once you've tried it, you'll want to come back again and again. Highly recommend if you're looking for great Indian food that doesn't disappoint!

This amazing little curry house has been here in downtown for more than a decade and you can still get a delicious veggie or meat "lunchbox" for under $10 (naan is extra, but worth it). The rotating menu changes daily, which is great because I visit regularly. They also have thalis for a more expansive food adventure.

Great lunch for under $10 a person. Nice sized portions and a good variety to choose from. Options change daily.

How did I not know this place existed before today?? Walked in and out with a take out lunch box (you can pick from a list of 5 or so preset meals) in less than 5 mins for $8. And the food was delicious! I'll be putting the rest of my coworkers on to this place. Thanks for a quick yum lunch!

The food was amazing! We ordered Samosa Chaat, Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry, a lentil dish, and baked eggplant dish. friendly service during the lunch rush.

Very affordable Indian food! We went on 4th of July and found it in passing, and it was busy but not crowded at around 7 PM. The interior is very warm, and the water they gave us tasted strange (a bit metallic). We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Coconut Chicken, Vege Biriyani, and 3 Garlic Naan for 6 people. It was the perfect amount! Chicken Tikka Masala: 4/5, pretty standard Tikka Masala. Good flavor, decent chicken. Coconut Chicken: 5/5, nicely sweet balanced with the "many spices" that the menu described. A surprise favorite! Vege Biriyani: 5/5, well spiced and lots of veggies. Garlic Naan: 5/5, can't go wrong. Each was the size of the dinner plate. The servers were super friendly though sometimes hard to flag down. We had a great time and were shocked when we only spent about $15 each after tax for 5 people -- cheapest meal I've paid for in SF in a while! The lunch special here is even cheaper.

Recently ordered to go for my nearby office. Everyone enjoyed the food. The achari lamb is perfect. Highly recommend! Great little spot!

Absolutely amazing food. Can't wait to go back. The salmon was insanely good, and we loved the garlic naan. Service was quick too. Really cute place. Excited to try more items on the menu!

I've heard great reviews of Mehfil because of the Lunch Boxes they offer! Decided to give it a try last week for lunch since I needed something quick, cheap and delicious. At first I tried to order the lunch box online, but after conducting research through other reviews, I learned that this special is only offered in-person! After learning that info, I walked over to the restaurant and luckily it's only a 3 minute walk from my office! Once I got there I was confused where to order at, but learned I had to order at the window inside. The employees were friendly and answered any questions I had about the menu! I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan. My order came out quickly and ended up being $13 since the garlic naan is not included in the lunch box! Overall my food was great! I loved the creaminess of the masala and the flavor of the naan! This will be my go-to lunch spot when I'm in the office!

I ordered delivery on DoorDash from Mehfil. Love the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Achaari Chicken! The chicken biryani was pretty good, not that great. Update. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Dal Makhani and naan for pickup recently. Loved everything so much, devoured the food hehe. One tip is to place the order over the phone instead of a delivery app, because they do give Jeera rice along with the curries. They also make the food really quickly, it was ready for pick up for me within 10 minutes! Very tasty, fresh, good quantity!
