ATTENTION SAN FRANCISCO RESIDENTS

[substitute]

My friend sooz has a problem. She needs to find a restaurant for dinner in San Francisco. The issue is the bizarre set of conditions she has to fulfill.

The good part is that she has a pretty good budget, so they can go to a nice place. However, here are the restrictions:

1. This place must be vegetarian-friendly, but not entirely vegetarian, because some people will object to a lack of dead meat.
   
   
2. A cheese-based cuisine won't work.
   
   
3. It has to be in the city; East Bay and suburbs will also fail.
   
   
4. Casual clothing must be okay.

To me it looks like that nightmare dinner that inevitably arrives at a chain restaurant. A little help?

Mela (suggesting this one first because it's somewhat more upscale-looking), or Shalimar or Chutney or any of the other great Indian restaurants in the Tandoorloin. For a somewhat more expensive (but worth it) option, Minako (at 17th and Mission). Or Bissap Baobab, or who knows how many other places on Mission or Valencia. (These are all ones I've been to and liked, though.)

I love "Tandoorloin"
