    About Kasa Indian Eatery

    Kasa Indian Eatery is a casual San Francisco option for Indian street food and kati rolls. It is best framed as an everyday meal rather than a formal restaurant night: the essentials are casual dress, an approachable price point of about $20 per person, a menu identity centered on kati rolls, thali plates, samosas, chicken tikka masala.
