Little Delhi
83 Eddy St
(between Cyril Magnin St & Hallidie Plz)
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 398-3173
If you ever need a break from shopping at the Westfield San Francisco Centre in downtown San Francisco, this hidden gem is only a stone’s throw away.
Not the dirt cheapest place, but for $1-2 more than the bargain basement Indian food restaurants, the quality, taste, and portion sizes were well worth it.
Anh Hong
808 Geary Street
(at Hyde St)
San Francisco, CA 94109 (415) 885-5180
If you’re planning to go to Anh Hong to eat their Seven Courses of Beef (also known as Bo 7 Mon) dinner, here are some tips.
I recently bought two bags of cherry tomatoes on the vine from Safeway. After a few days in the refridgerator (oops! more on that later), they started looking wrinkly. Since they didn’t look good for eating in salad anymore, I decided to cook a few of them in a chicken dish I was making.
After throwing in a handful of the cherry tomatoes into the saute pan, and stirring for a few minutes, I noticed that the cherry tomatoes were plumping up again. After cooking my meal, I served myself and noticed that the cherry tomatoes did not shrivel up again, despite having been removed from the heat. I tried a bite and they were still great.
Chavo’s Restaurant
595 Bryant & 4th Streets
San Francisco, CA 94107
415-495-5822
Situated South of Market near a busy freeway off-ramp, Chavo’s provides BIG portions of good Mexican food at a decent price. This is not rock bottom cheap, but for $6-8 you can get a huge cheap super burrito for lunch that stuffs even the heartiest male appetites. Another friend ordered her usual lunch plate of 2 verde (green) enchiladadas, with beans and rice. She had to take leftovers home, too, and she rarely does that. The food is fresh, the meat’s pretty good, and, oh, did I mention that the portions are huge??
