“Absolutely delicious food! Best spot for Indian food in SF. The hosts are very warm and welcoming as well. I love their pao bhaji and Chole bhature but their jalebi is to die for! They offer a bunch of chaat options and freshly squeezed juices. I am a regular at this place and will coming back.”

Chaat

Onion Kachori Chaat

$13.99

Flaky pastry filled with spiced onion, served as chaat.

“Our experience at Jalebi Street was fantastic! The jalebis were freshly made right in front of us, fried in ghee and dipped in a saffron-flavored sugar syrup. They had all the flavors and crunch you’d want in a perfect jalebi. The highlight, though, was the Kachori Chaat—crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I was never a fan of kachori before, but this one completely changed my mind! A must-visit for anyone craving authentic flavors.”

Indian Appetizers

Onion Kachori

$11.99

Three pieces of flaky pastry filled with spiced onion.

“The best food I have ever had! The jalebis were absolutely delicious. The Chole Bhature tasted just like authentic Delhi-style food. The Kadhi Paneer is a must-try, and the Kofta Curry was amazing too. I also loved the Onion Kachori full of flavor and truly delicious. Highly recommended!”

Curry

Dal Makhani

$16.99

Slow-cooked black lentils make a rich, creamy curry.

“We had the Dal Makhani, Jalebi Rabri and Aloo Tikki Chaat. All were extremely flavorful. Dal was creamy and slightly spicy. The aloo tikki chaat was smothered with chutney and yogurt. The jalebi was piping hot and with syrup almost bursting in your mouth, and the rabri had clear cardamom notes.”

Kadai Paneer

$17.99

Paneer cubes cooked with bell peppers and spices in a savory curry.

“Absolutely loved Jalebi Street in SF. Highly recommend it! The chole tasted truly authentic, and both the kadai paneer and raj kachori were top notch. The jalebi was the perfect gem to end the meal with. It’s one of those rare places where the food feels clean and thoughtfully made, no preservatives, additives, food colors, or unnecessary funny stuff. You can tell the owners genuinely care and go out of their way to bring good food to the table.”

Indian Breads

Lachha Paratha

$5.99

A layered Indian flatbread, cooked until flaky and crisp.

“My new favorite Indian restaurant in SF! Truly some of the best and most authentic Indian food I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Bhel puri and Kadai paneer tasted just like my mom’s and they were my favorite dishes of the night. This is also the only place in the city that makes fresh jalebi. I will be coming back and am excited to try more dishes off the menu!”

Desserts

Jalebi Rabri

$11.99

Fresh jalebi is served with chilled, cardamom-flavored rabri.

“Amazing Food! The chole bhature was on point, not super oily, very good. Poori sabzi is very close to what I have eaten in India, and the onion kachori is a great appetizer. But the absolute star of the show is Jalebi Rabri. Just when I thought I was done with an amazing meal, the Jalebi dessert took the experience to another level”

Fresh Jalebi

$8.99

Crisp spirals soaked in saffron syrup make this traditional Indian sweet.

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! I arrived after closing time, and instead of turning me away, they generously gave me some jalebi for free. Not only was the gesture incredibly kind, but the jalebi were absolutely delicious—crispy, perfectly sweet, and so fresh. It’s rare to find such amazing customer service and incredible food in one place. This food truck has earned a loyal customer, and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!”

Milk Cake

$6.99

Soft, sweet milk fudge served as an Indian dessert.

“We wandered in, intrigued by the name. It’s pretty new so making a start. We needed clarification on gluten free. The owner told us what was safe. We placed our order and he came back after double checking with thw kitchen to make sure he clarified correctly. It was really genuine and appreciated! Jalebi, gulab jamun, and milk cake 😋 Food was delicious!”

Rabri

$4.00

Rabri is a thick, creamy Indian dessert made by reducing milk.

“Delicious food ! Ive been trying to find authentic indian food especially north indian food place in SF for so long and I am so glad I found Jalebi Street. Big fan of Choley Bhaturey and Dal Makhani and Garlic Naan here. Tastes exactly like how I have grown up eating it in Delhi. For dessert, jalebi and rabri are a must have.”
