    We ate in the restaurant, came in by 9pm and they let us come right in. The servers were very sweet, the food was actually pretty good. It’s definitely authentic that’s fs! And it was pretty affordable as well for the Bay Area! We ordered chicken korma and I loved that! And also the chicken gogura biriyani was very good as well!

    Absolutely loved my experience here! The flavors were so authentic and comforting — the Tandoori Pomfret was perfectly cooked and bursting with spices, and the Goat Soup was rich, soulful, and incredibly satisfying. You can really taste the love and tradition in the food. Special shoutout to Anil, who was extremely sweet and made the whole experience even better with his kindness and attentiveness. Can’t wait to come back for more! ✨🍽️

    Absolutely love the many options on this menu which would satisfy all kinds of palates. This place is a true representation of South Indian food in San Francisco Food: love the dosas and biryani. Everyone should try Gongura at least once - such a unique Andhra flavor. I always get the tandoori pomfret which is not easily available on Indian restaurant menus. Service: Anil was fabulous! Attentive, reassuring and effective. He really enhanced the meal Ambiance: this is a classic Mission restaurant. Great for small groups / families with kids. 1 block from BART. We love coming to Aaha - can’t wait for my next meal there

    I recently visited Aaha Restaurant, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The Banjara Chicken was perfectly marinated and full of smoky flavor — tender, juicy, and seasoned just right. Both the Goat Biryani and Chicken Biryani were outstanding. The rice was fragrant, the spice level was perfect, and the meat was cooked beautifully. Each bite had that authentic biryani aroma and depth of flavor. The Pomfret Fish was another highlight — fresh, well-grilled, and seasoned perfectly. Overall, every dish we tried was flavorful, well-prepared, and served hot. Great service, great taste, and definitely a place worth recommending. I’d happily visit again!
