Service was excellent and the food was amazing. Loved the coconut cakes. Very flavorful, even the vegan ones we had. The curry was spicy but not over the top and very flavorful. Loved the eggplant but wish the portion size was a bit larger. We ended up ordering a 2nd one. The drunken noodles were tasty, and they offered to put the spicy chili's on the side for the milder side of our group. Overall delicious and nice ambience.

The people who run this restaurant are so accommodating and eager to please. Food is very good with lots of options from which to choose. I love their pita bread and the house-made condiment that comes with it. The dolmas are excellent. The location is really convenient to Union Square and to the SF Playhouse. Be sure to try one of the desserts.
