    We eat a lot of Indian food at home in Los Angeles and whenever we travel to the UK and we loved this place. We had a long weekend in San Francisco and liked this restaurant so much we went back for a second time. There are some unique dishes on the menu which we were excited to try (the "65", the Momos and the Street Curries). One of us is gluten-free and the GF garlic naan was fantastic - soft and fluffy! A great cocktail list, and they brew their own house beer right there in the middle of the restaurant. The place was busy both nights but we never felt rushed. We wish this restaurant was on our doorstep!

    Such a great addition to the neighborhood. This is our second visit to Flora King since they opened about sic weeks ago, and it's already become a favorite. Of course, great food is a prerequisite to a great dining experience, and Flora King delivers. But the fantastic, friendly and genuine staff and the overall vibe of the place really take it over the top. I am recommending this place to everyone I know.
