North Indian Punjabi Restaurant with many fully vegan options just opened in the Mission in SF

Me and my beloved recently went to Spice 24 for a bite. It is located next to the wonderful Adobe bookstore where we met all those years ago.

I have spent over three years in Bharata aka India and authored three books on my time there. India is like my second home. The folks that run Spice 24 are from the Punjab region of North India where I have been. They are Sikh and Punjabi. I went on yatra aka pilgrimage to Amritsar which is most important pilgrimage spot for Sikhs and is a beautiful very special place worth visiting if you ever visit India.

The service was kind and the hospitality was very warm. I live in the Mission so this is my hood and feel Spice 24 is a a bit of a hole in the wall so don't except fine dining yet ambiance is just fine here.

We both went with the roti aka whole wheat vegan style similar to naan aka same, same yet different. This was very tasty and quite alright. We also split a Chana Masala dish. We had medium heat and had just enough flavorful heat that wasn't overbearing. I would love to see Spice 24 succeed in the Mission yet one area for improvement was my beloved and I both thought the food was too salty. I would suggest the cooks and chef here to have the dish with less salt for a friend of mine who ate here said the same thing good yet too salty.

If the food is less salty we would be back and even bump it up to five stars. I got five on it is a hip hop song in the day says this native New Yorker in SF like Donte of the Warriors gone to the Knicks yet reversed. Five boroughs of NY and five stars potentially if less salt.

Our gracious hosts even gave us complimentary kheer aka rice and milk pudding made with flavorful cardamon yet we politely declined the gracious gesture due to both of us following a vegan diet aka avoiding dairy.

They say there is no sorry or no thank you in Indian culture yet I say Arigato and I left a truthful review. Sat Nam.

Pros: gracious hospitality, vegan roti was amazing, nice flavor of heat yet albeit a bit too salty

Cons: a bit too salty
