Copra

Copra is easily one of the best dining experiences in San Francisco. Warm and vibrant atmosphere. The menu is unique — every dish is full of bold, layered flavors that feel both comforting and elevated. The drinks are creative, the presentation is stunning, and the food tastes even better than it looks. If you are visiting SF, I’d say, do check this place out. If you are a local, this will probably be a one or two-visit place. Def recommended.

I’ve been to Copra quite a few times over the years and I’ve finally gotten around to writing a review. Copra is excellent - whether it’s the specialty meals on Mother’s Day or just a regular night out. On my most recent visit, I had the Kori Gassi and the Black Truffle Egg Appam - two of my favorite dishes. The kori gassi consist of a spicy chicken gravy and a rice pancake made from fermented batter and is quite unlike any traditional dosa you may have had. The drinks are pretty unique and strong as well.

It was my 3rd time here. Went for a team dinner. We tried all the vegetarian items on the menu and fried chicken. The fried chicken is one of the best things on the menu. Also loved gunpowder vadai, cauliflower curry, all the chaat dishes. We did not have a reservation but luckily called them and got one table.

Copra is a standout — refined yet soulful cooking in a stunning space. The lamb was tender and richly spiced, the mackerel smoky and complex, the spicy shrimp vibrant with heat, and the scallops delicate yet deeply flavorful. The chutneys added bright, addictive notes to everything. Service was warm and attentive, the lighting flattering, noise levels low, and the room itself is beautiful with soaring ceilings and lush greenery. Highly recommend trying Copra for some amazing Indian flavors!

Portion sizes are quite generous. Appetizers easily sized for 2. Entrees could be shared with 3. Tender Jack-65, black pepper chicken were as good as it gets to start with. Masala dosa fantastic! Though the coconut chutney with it felt like frozen coconut puree, the only item that didn’t meet the mark, Sambhar delicious. The chicken kori gassi curry and lamb shoulder chettwere so balanced, consistent and delicious. The lamb could have been just a bit more tender. Great service, great atmosphere..

Very nice food! We got the biryani and uttapam which were really good! The highlight was the shrimp roast. For dessert we got the watalappan which was interesting. The cocktails were pretty strong! Can’t wait to go back and try out more things!
