Copra San Francisco

A friend and I wandered into Copra last evening. We got a table on the second floor and ordered martinis. They were good, as was the Pisco Sour I scored later. The decor in Copra is amazing, imaginative and enticing. I attach a couple of photos. Do be warned that most of the food at Copra is hot with spicy South Indian chili. All four of the chutneys pictured were hot. Only the green one worked for us, because as it turned out, we are both wimps where hot and spicy is concerned. The raw oysters we got were flavorful and fresh (the sauce was just right spice-wise). The little popover thingies were delicious as was the pear salad I ordered as my entry. My friend had the fish cooked in banana leaves which he said was moist and rich tasting. The dessert, close to a flan, was melt in your mouth delicious. The restaurant got very noisy unfortunately. The wait staff was attentive without being intrusive and the food arrived in a timely fashion. So, thumbs up!

Very good high end South Indian fusion cuisine. There are a lot of interesting dishes to try on the menu. I was blown away by the rice flower and coconut "bread" that came with the duck - it was delicious, slightly sweet, and chewy, and it paired amazingly well with the slightly spicy gravy. I look forward to returning.

Words cannot begin to describe how fantastic the food at Copra is. Fresh, tangy, and so creative. Every bite is filled with flavor and really makes you think, how did Chef Sri achieve this taste? I can’t remember the last time I had such good South Indian food (outside of my own mothers kitchen). The service is fantastic and the ambiance/decor is comforting and inviting. I personally loved the lighting!
