Food was amazing! Non-alcoholic drinks menu can ber improved considerably.
Great cocktails and Indian flavors throughout all of the dishes. Great place to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday - he loved it!
Best Indian Restaurant in the bay. Must go!!! Great food! Great Ambience.
August 1 Five was wonderful! It was a chilly SF evening, but the outside space heaters and makeshift table cubicles kept us plenty warm throughout our meal. They have an excellent pandemic setup and every person who visited our table (server, runners, bartender) wore a mask and kept their distance, all while providing top notch service. The food was fantastic and the drinks were out of this world! Their new bartender, Ross, really knows his stuff. We will definitely be back!
Tasty food and exciting cocktails. I had the one with turmeric and it felt like a health potion. We sat inside but it was still cold with the doors open.
Extremely slow service full of repeated mistakes. While the attitude was good, food was just ok.
The drinks were amazing. Ross is a Boss.
August (1) Five is the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. Food is much different than standard Indian food. Great sauces and spices. Good service and friendly staff. Vegetarian selections are excellent. They also have chicken and other tasty meat dishes.
The food was amazing the service was extraordinary!! The ambience, presentation of the food and drinks was great!
Delicious food.
Food was incredible, server was very attentive, and tables were spaced out enough that we felt we had plenty of room. Will definitely be back!
Delicious food, good service
One of the best places I have been in a while. Some food items were great and some were ok ok but overall great experience.
Great dinner and really excited for August’s re-opening.
Lower rating on value- but this isn’t a place you come for value, you want to come here for great food and great drinks, and enjoy the experience.
Staff was excellent and we look forward to coming back soon!
Awesome food. Service was very good for the first half of the meal. In the second half, it was horrible. Entire serving staff seemed to singularly focus on a group that seemed to know the chef or something. We were made to wait 15 minutes to get just a piece of bread, another 10 mins to clear the table, another 10 minutes to get the check, another 10 mins to get our check etc. Disappointed in the end.
Best brunch I've had in a very very long time.
Once the secret is out this place will be packed.
Different and delicious.
The food was truly incredible; we left stuffed and happy and mourning the fact that we didn't leave room for dessert.

Second visit in 2 months. Wonderful flavors. Helpful server. Cocktail menu ever-changing. Preferred my 3 drinks in January to the 2 I had this week
Best spot in Civic Center area for professional lunch. Fantastic food & great service.
Food and ambience was good, but terrible service. The server didn't care to check in on us at all during the course of our meal (didn't care to refill our waters even)
August 1 Five spinach naan is highly recommended! Actually spinach is baked in between the sheets of dough. The sauces that come with every dish are savory but don’t over power any of the main pieces.
Wonderful service and food!
The taste of the food was outstanding and the service was top notch with 50% of tables occupied. As the food variety is less, I don’t find a reason to visit again though.
Anniversary dinner with friends. Couldn’t have been a nicer evening. Fantastic service, variety of flavors, cozy atmosphere.
Best India influenced food I've ever had. Friendly informed service. Quiet enough for conversation, but we were 4 people at a corner table. Interesting well constructed cocktails.
Lovely restaurant. Food is flavorful and well presented. Service was subpar.
We arrived at 9:10 for our 9:00 reservation. The staff were
Excellent thanks Excellent thanks Excellent thanks
It was a great experience! Our server Amy was very suggestive & she knows her work & menu well.
The restaurant seemed to be severely understaffed. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks and the staff did not manage our timetable request with timing the dinner so that we make it to a show we had tickets to.
Food was good, not excellent but good.
Ambience was less upscale than it looks on website.
Service excellent!
Very creative food. Try the crispy spinach salad - so yummy. Patrick was a great server!
