10.7.2023. Copra. San Francisco. California.

I have been meaning to hit up Copra on Fillmore for some time. You have to get a reservation well in advance as it's quite popular. Finally, my cousin and I were able to try this out together. The 2 of us definitely over ordered as we wanted to try many things. Each dish has a distinct flavor and all the flavors were complimentary and made the meal extremely enjoyable. I felt like this was a more upscale experience than Besharam (another one of my favorite Indian restaurants in town). I would highly recommend you go there if you like Indian food and you will not be disappointed.
