Pirooo — Restaurant in San Francisco

We've been so excited for more Nepali food in SF, and Piroo did not disappoint! We started with a couple cocktails, both of which were tasty. I especially liked the as yet unnamed passion fruit mint cocktail, which was sweet, but the Pirootini was a fun and unique cocktail with a spicy flavor. We ordered most of the recommended foods: the Chatpate, the Panipuri, Beet It salad, and the Chicken Choila Wraps. Everything was very flavorful and most of them had a bit of spice, but that spice really builds! The beet salad was a nice way to cool off some of your taste buds in between spicy bites. We loved the textures of the Chatpate, which is so crunchy from both the ramen bits and the fresh veggies. The Panipuri were fun to experience as well, they're a crispy fried shell filled with spiced potatoes, served with a tamarind sauce that you pour into the shells before eating as a whole bite. Lastly the "carrot pudding" - we were already full, but I saw it on Instagram and had to try it. It was really good, just sweet enough and went very nicely with the cinnamon on top - yum! We hadn't tried any of these Nepali dishes before, so thank you for sharing...

My girlfriend and I were staying Court yard mariott and were looking for a late night dinner. We found this small place on the corner of Polk and Post which was open until 1130pm.

It's a very lively area, a good place to start or finish your night with some fun eats.

The restaurant is Nepalese. We never had Nepalese food before, I would describe it in some ways similar to some Indian flavors.

The menu, according to the owner is in transition. With some of the older dishes being removed or reworked.

We tried the momo dumplings, chatpate which is a spicy, crunchy, mixture of noodles, cilantro, onions, and tomatoes. It's refreshing. We had the flat bread which in our head we thought would be like Naan bread but it was more like a pizza with cheese. It was good but we just ordered wrong. Finally we had the goat curry with white rice which was the best dish. That dish was excellent.

The staff and service was excellent. We had a good conversation with the manager and the server made my girlfriend a great cocktail.

The manager promised us some good menu changes when we come back.

We love to support local, so...

I heard so much about this place and when I dined in I was super disappointed by the food and quality of presentation. 17 $ for jhol momo which is expensive than other Nepali restaurants in san Francisco and still the quality of momo feels like its frozen from months and taste bald . I had khana set and damn they serve 2 items ( kauli and alu ko aacharr may be) and separate masu. For more than 20$ ??? everything in the same small plate that it looks like I am eating my leftover tarkari from 3 days before . All in one place cluster that i cant even separate what i am eating. I recommend restaurants to Do better in presentation and get some big quality plates that they can present their food well. Server was nice enough but people go there for good quality food and restaurants style presentation which i didn't get . P.s they forget to provide salad 🙄 we order 3 set of thali . I don’t recommend going more than 2 people together because this place is super small...
