What people say, in short
Most commenters recommend Chutney, on Jones Street in the Tenderloin, and two point to its value, one for generous portions and the other for haleem. One calls it their surprising favorite, and one says a recent visit made them rethink their loyalty to Shalimar. One commenter was a bit let down recently, finding the gravy too thin though the flavors were fine.
