Indian/Pakistani food in the Tenderloin?

[ekrubnivek]

The boards mention Lahore Karahi but apparently they are closed... see their website: http://www.lahorekarahisanfrancisco.com/

Where else is good?

go to Shalimar..thees one on Jones near Geary, and i think another on Polk...a friend took me a few times in the last few yeas...we ate mostly basics and it was excellent.

+1 for shalimar -- though it is quite heavy and the decor is very (extremely) downscale.

chicken tikka
palak paneer
one of the chickpea or lentil dishes
naan and rice

is what i used to get all the time.

I prefer Chutney (across the street from Shalimar on Jones St):

The food at Shalimar is good, but the place doesn't look as clean as Chutney, and it's so smoky inside of Shalimar.
