We will be there Sunday night and need a place to walk to from Jones/Turk. Any help would be great. Thanks Mon Jul 07 12:01:55 -0700 2008 207416 misspander 1 3845659 The tenderloin is home to many India/Pakistani and Vietnamese restaurants. My choices would be Sultan for Indian and Bodega Bistro for Vietnamese, although BB is more expensive than the other Tenderloin Viet places (it's nicer and has more alcohol options, if that matters).

Some of those Indian/Pakistani places don't have full table service -- I think several of them are "order at the counter and bring you the food" type places. With a party that size, it would be better to pick at place that takes reservations. Mon Jul 07 12:41:51 -0700 2008 3845688 10159 Ruth Lafler 3 3846077 On the other hand, a pay-when-you-order place eliminates the need to figure out how to divide the bill. Mon Jul 07 13:47:54 -0700 2008 3845772 11369 Robert Lauriston 2 3846239 Here are the Places records with most of those mentioned. http://www.chow.com/search?search%5Bboard_id%5D=1&search%5Bboardgroup_id%5D=1&search%5Bclass_names%5D=Restaurant&search%5Bfilters%5D=&search%5Bquery%5D=Tenderloin+&x=25&y=12 Some will have websites or menus. Most will have linked reports. Some will have hours. At the least you have phone numbers to confirm they will be open on Sunday. Whatever you do don';t even consider Naan n' Curry. It is cheap ... that's it ... cheap ... cheap and unfriendly ... the only thing I've ever liked at any of the many locations across the Bay Area ... and they all pretty consistantly suck, IMO ... is the naan. Shalimar could hold a group that size. Mon Jul 07 14:27:57 -0700 2008 3845688 10264 rworange 2 3846553 Much as I like Lahore Karahi, it could take them a long time to make food for 13. I think Thai House Express and Bodega Bistro are better equipped to handle a crowd. Mon Jul 07 15:53:47 -0700 2008 3845688 10032 david kaplan 3 3848234 I agree with THE and Bodega. I'd probably add Sultan from Robert's list above, since they can do a large party. But the last time we were there, the service was very slow. Might be okay if you brought your own drinks and weren't too too hungry. Tue Jul 08 08:02:10 -0700 2008 3846553 10966 Windy 2 3849333 A La Turca has space for a group that size. I've seen large groups have the upstairs area to themselves. Just ate there again for dinner a few weeks ago, it was pretty good. We had the eggplant salad, lamuhcun, cacik, and the iskender kebap.
