call it "The Tandoori-loin". At Jones & O'Farrell Streets there are three Indian/Pakistani<br />
restaurants. Around the corner, at 398 Eddy Street (at Leavenworth), is Naan N Curry,<br />
considered by the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> Chronicle and many locals (including cab drivers and<br />
cops) to be the best of the bunch (thanks to the affable gray-haired manager named "Arif"<br />
and several of his family members) as well as extremely affordable (one person can often<br />
have quite a decent meal for less than $10, and the sweetened "Chai" tea is free with<br />
meals). Fans of these small places all have a favorite, and Shalimar at Jones & O'Farrell<br />
is another good choice. Chutney, which is across the street from Shalimar is the newest<br />
of the group and is quite popular since Naan n Curry moved around the corner. Naan n<br />
Curry has become so popular, it has spawned at least two other locations in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong><br />
(on Irving near 7th close to UCSF Med Center and on Jackson at Columbus near the<br />
Transamerica Pyramid) and one across the bay in Berkeley.<br />
Many Thai restaurants can be found in the neighborhood, including Thai House Express<br />
at Geary & Larkin and OSHA Thai Noodle at Geary & Leavenworth.<br />

Street.<br />
On weekend mornings you will find a large line winding outside of Dottie's True Blue<br />
