We love the food - it is always hot and delicious whether it's delivered or in person. Plenty of vegetarian options, but prawn biryani is amazing.

The prawn biriyani, gobi musallum, and paneer tikka masala are all excellent.

Food was amazing! Why don't they make ambience better? Food was seriously one of the best I've had in SF!

We like this restaurant overall, but some of the dishes are a miss. Disappointed with the lamb vindaloo and wish it were more like the typical dish we’ve had at other places.

Definitely not authentic Indian food at all, I kind of figured that when I walked in and saw a Chinese woman in the front and a man in the back. I eat Indian food a few times a week and I didn’t like this food at all. The briyani had no flavor, I didn’t like the taste of the daal or the Chana masala. The naan was not freshly made but pre made and wrapped in aluminum foil to stay warm, the food was very disappointing. I’m visiting here and I notice the Indian restaurants are not authentic which is sad because that’s what they are advertising. Sorry to say I don’t recommend the food here

Food is great. Delivery times are hit or miss. We had a 2 hour wait for our most recent order.

Their food tastes fresh and not heavy. When we ask for mild, it is mild.Kid-friendliness: The waitstaff bought us plastic utensils and water in a cup with a lid.

They have a small menu compared to other places but food is always fresh and unique compared to the typical Indian place. The Bread Basket and all the vegetarian items are great. Pricing is reasonable.

So good! Dahi puri chaat, butter chicken (Tilak's famous dish!), naan, it's all soo delicious! Been a fan of Tilak's since his previous Berry St location and will keep coming back for more.

I came to Tilak after a long hiatus and am so glad I did! The food was excellent and the service was very good. The reason for the 4 stars (instead of 5) is that I almost slipped and fell on the wet floor on my way to the restroom.My friend and I shared the following:1) Goan prawn curry - delicious 2) Chicken Chettinad - very flavorful 3) Channa saag - tasty The brown rice and Naan we got to accompany our entrees were good, too, as was the wine.Our waitress was attentive and took great care of us.The wet floor at the end of the evening was the only weak link - they should not have started mopping their floors before our departure. Overall, I'm so glad to have rediscovered Tilak and look forward to returning!

Wow! Tilak was an amazing Indian restaurant that is very affordable and filled with flavor.Don't come here for the exceptional service, but why is that even necessary when the food is this good? Everything I had and shared was incredible. Definitely get the garlic naan tikka masala combination. I would also highly recommend a dish from their tandoori grill. Personally I was not a fan of the saag paneer given that it wasn't made how I'm typically used to having texture wise, I would try something else. I can't wait to be back!
