" Aaha Indian Cuisine didn't quite meet my expectations. My first visit was marred by having to wait far too long for the food, even though the place was bustling. When our meal finally arrived, I found the flavors a bit muted compared to what I've had elsewhere. However, the service was attentive and polite. The ambiance was energetic, which I did enjoy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every single dish I tried at Aaha was a revelation. From the lamb to the vegetarian options, everything was bursting with flavor! I think my favorite was the Malai Kofta, which was creamy and rich, paired well with the warm naan. The service staff were polite but seemed overwhelmed at times. I’m definitely coming back, and I plan to explore even more of the menu. Just fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about Aaha Indian Cuisine! The authenticity shone through with every mouthful. I particularly enjoyed the South Indian specialties, especially the dosas and the range of chutneys, which made the meal extra special. The owners were genuinely invested in ensuring we had a fantastic experience, constantly checking in and making recommendations. The ambiance felt cozy and welcoming. I will be returning very soon; I feel like there are still so many more dishes to try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such high hopes for Aaha Indian Cuisine given the rave reviews, but I have to say I was somewhat disappointed. The food was okay but didn't have that authentic twist I was looking for. The tandoori chicken was decent, but the butter chicken was too tomato-heavy for my taste. On the plus side, the service was prompt and courteous, making the experience overall pleasant. The atmosphere was lively, but unfortunately, it didn't truly feel like an authentic Indian dining experience. I’m willing to give it another shot to try a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! Aaha Indian Cuisine truly outshines other Indian restaurants I’ve been to in San Francisco. The food is served fresh, flavorful, and true to its roots. The Andhra chicken and dosa were highlights of the meal! The servants were warm and welcoming, making our dining experience even better. I highly recommend trying their mango lassi, it’s deliciously refreshing! I’ll definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a charming little place! The food prepared with such love and flavors was incredible. I tried the Chicken Biryani and loved every single bite. It truly reminded me of authentic Indian cooking. The staff here were friendly and made us feel welcome. The atmosphere was vibrant and cozy, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere was welcoming, I was not impressed by the food. The lamb curry lacked depth of flavor, and the naan was slightly hard. The service was friendly, but the dish they served me seemed rushed. The overall dining experience was underwhelming, and I don’t see myself returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
