Besharam San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
I had high expectations after hearing about this restaurant
I had high expectations after hearing about this restaurant from my friends, but unfortunately, this place was a bit of a letdown. An Indian restaurant that charges for chutneys - that's a red flag in my book. Let's start with the positives first. Finding the restaurant tucked away in the Minnesota Street Project felt like stumbling upon a hidden gem. This also meant that parking was easy to find, which is great. The restaurant is vibrant and has a warm and pleasant ambiance. Now, let's switch gears. Besharam definitely lived up to its name (which translates to "shameless" in hindi) when it comes to service. We were a party of 5. While the 4 of us were waiting for our 5th friend to arrive, we decided to order some appetizers, only to be told by our server that they only take full order (not sure if that's the restaurant policy but we didn't bother to clarify). Anyway, after our friend joined us, we decided to order a few appetizers and one entree. When we were ready to place our order, our server kept pushing us to order more food for our party size, despite us telling him that we were okay with what we were getting. We've never had a server be so pushy that it felt a bit sales-y. When we politely opted for our own selection, he seemed almost disappointed. Speaking of selection, the pacing of our food left a lot to be desired. Everything seemed to arrive at once, turning our meal into an unintentional eating competition. We were inhaling food to make space for the next dish on our table (partly because our servers didn't do a good job of removing empty plates from our table). The food itself was a mixed bag. Mango lassi was delicious - thick and creamy with perfect sweetness level. The masala chai was okay. Most of the dishes fell flat and were bland. The Dahi Wada, a lentil dumpling in creamy yogurt, was good and flavorful because of the tamarind chutney. The Pav Bhaji Puff, a unique take on the classic street food, had potential, but the pastry crust was a tad dry. The Drunken Pani Puri, a fun twist on the traditional pani puri with a boozy filling, was a playful idea, but we could hardly taste the gin. The Dabeli Paratha, a flatbread stuffed with spiced potato filling, was decent, but nothing special. The Kachori Dumplings, another lentil dish, were a bit underseasoned. The Malai Koftas, vegetable dumplings in a creamy sauce, were the clear winner - flavorful and rich. The Garlic Naan, on the other hand, was very cheesy and filling. Apart from their a la carte menu, they also have a tasting menu priced at $75/person that is served family style and requires everyone at the table to participate. In my opinion, it is not worth it. You are better off ordering items from the a la carte menu.

Quick Summary: - Located within the art gallery - Reservation recommended, although we didn't follow this method - Vegetarian option - Noise level - medium-high - Indoor seating only - I liked how on the website menu it included images with it The restaurant is attached to the art gallery, but the entrance is separate from it. An easy indicator is the vibrant pink neon sign that glows in the night. Inside is a cozy size; one side of the wall is all windows, so you can view the art pieces while eating. The other side of the restaurant is a bar. Once we entered minutes after the clock struck opening hours, the staff asked if there was a reservation. We didn't, so they offered two tables closest to the entrance. For just the two of us, the table was small but not too small that our legs were bumping into each other. The table was always cleared out when we finished eating, so there was never a moment when the table felt cramped. The portions were unexpected; through the images it felt like the portions were light and we will leave hungry; however, in the end three dishes with dessert filled us up unexpectedly well. I want to thank the staff who guided us through the different menu options, and hinted at us that when ordering dessert we should split the cheese cake in half instead of eating it individually. That was a wonderful advice. We ordered the Malai Koftas with a side of Pratha, and Dahi Wada. For dessert we ordered a Shrikhand Cheesecake with chai tea. My favorite was the Dahi Wada. If you are a fan of pani puri, this had similar ingredients. I would have ordered a pani puri, but this one contained alcohol, which I wasn't feeling like eating with at that time. I loved the texture of the Dahi Wada. It has a crispy base and there was a punch of sourness. The Malai Koftas came alongside the Pratha. Without the staff explaining to use what the dishes were going to be like, we would not have realized that this dish needs a edible scooping agent like a naan or a Pratha. We chose the Pratha for the light crispiness. This dish had four fried patties suspended on a cashew sauce. We used the Pratha to scoop up the dish. In terms of the sauce, the flavor is strong but it's not salty. However, without a naan or a Pratha, I wouldn't be able to eat this like soup. To finish the dish, we cut up a slice of the cheese cake and drank the chai tea. I liked how the chai tea wasn't sweet and had a floral element of cardamon. The cheesecake was on the sweet end in my opinion, especially the crust. In each bite, we tasted a bit of saffron.
Did the tasting menu.
Not impressed at all. Will never do it again. Service was good.
Ok food.
Pricey for what it is. I have had much better Gujarati food in the Bay Area at the fraction of the cost. The fusion etc. did not cut it for me. Ambiance and location is good.
Great service and ambiance but the food was just ok imo.
Kachori dumplings and pav baji were super tasty. Paneer and cheesy garlic bread were just alright.
Amazing Indian food.
Every item was very well cooked and delicious. Ambience and customer service was great

1. I love where this is located in an industrial area of SFO far from all the chaos. With good parking spots. 2. Food was good drinks were great, ambiance was nice. But what stood out was the service. Great bartended since we sat in the Bar and fun and engaging server helped us pic out our menu and gave us great recommendations. 3. The Star at the restaurant is its Owner. A very cheerful and charismatic gentleman. We chatted with him quite a bit and he shared his story and vision of the restaurant finding time to connect during a busy week night. 4. Alright finally one advice book a head. No matter what day of the week this place is packed. The owner did have to turn away a few customers who did walk in. He was able to accommodate some walk ins but not all. 5. A definite must try spot for vegans/ vegetarians
Bistro ambience with below average food.
Bombay sandwich was served cold with old toasted bread. The poori chole. Chole were ok but the poori was cold. It looked like they were made and kept in the morning. They add 20% service charge for a party of two without any notice. Disappointing service, food and culture.
Man, the odds were really in their favor.
A powerful 9.0 on Infatuation. Properly drunk. Super hungry. It should not have been hard to send us home smiling. As some other reviewers have said, everything truly was bland -- either little to no distinctive flavor OR that many dishes shared very similar flavors. Kachori Dumplings and Drunken Pani Puri were, at best, pieces picked from a Costco Frozen sample stall with a line of 1 person. Mango Salad was...the most basic mixture of greens with bits of mango. It's also probably not a great signal when the server claims the Mango Salad as their favorite dish. Maska Paneer, Sambhar, Ringan No Oro all tasted too similar. Cheesy Garlic Bread was 98% cheese. No other texture or even Garlic flavor. Just overwhelming soft white cheese. I will say we all had a bit of a laugh about this. Roti and the chutney options tasted like nothing as well. Don't pay the extra $$$$ for this meal -- unless maybe if they re-do their menu. I will forever have trust issues with Infatuation now. Something is amiss.
Super yummy, great decor, friendly service.
Would come back for dinner as the brunch menu is smaller but delicious
all-vegetarian, modern, quite expensive Indian restaurant
The food and service were really good and the ambiance was lovely in this all-vegetarian, modern, quite expensive Indian restaurant with a bar, but the presumptive owner was not nice, which put a damper on the experience. (And I resent what too many fancy restaurants call an "SF Mandate Fee" (5%) --- these restaurants are required to provide healthcare for their workers or pay a fee, just as there are other requirements for businesses, including rent, insurance, electricity, wages, etc., but they are not required to charge that fee to customers, as they seem to imply. This restaurant also automatically adds a 20% service charge, yet still asks for an additional tip with the bill.)
A place not to be missed
One of the most delightful - and delicious - evenings we have had in a long time. Just about everything was excellent ... the staff is warm and welcoming, the atmosphere is unique and fun, and the food was consistently unique and delicious. Highly recommend this Indian vegetarian restaurant to to all.
