San Francisco is known for its various cuisines, especially from Asia. One that stands out is curry. Today, it is a well-known dish, but it originated in India and later spread worldwide.

I went to and reviewed Mangrove Kitchen located on Divisadero Street. It’s a Thai-themed restaurant that specializes in a variety of curries. The restaurant was lively and brightly themed, showcasing its food. The menu had many different dishes to choose from, but I got the Thai yellow curry with a side of white rice.

The food came relatively fast and looked delicious. 

After mixing the white rice with the curry, it turned into a delectable bowl of nourishment.

Mixed in with the curry were mainly vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and green beans laced with a protuberant amount of spices. I could taste that cumin and coriander mixed in with the vegetables, which helped add a seasoned and savory touch.

Although it looked like a lot at first glance, the bowl emptied so fast as it was filling yet intricate.

All in all, I would give it four out of five stars. The curry costs around $15 to $21, depending on what you have on it. I highly recommend this restaurant and its curry, along with any other curry in the Bay Area, as it is a star in the cluster of culinary delights.
