Here is our map of open restaurants in the Mission. This changes often, so check back for updates.
Monk’s Kettle
A local tavern with 28 beers on tap, 150 bottled, and gastro-pubby food, Monk’s Kettle has become an institution. I was able to order and pay online, and GrubHub delivered. BF got a burger with onion jam, gruyere and aioli, but I got the steak frites. Why not treat yourself during these trying times?
The steak was prepared exactly as I’d ordered it, and was incredibly tender, even though it was quite a thick chunk. It came with a little greenery and some crunchy fried onions on top. Really good, and the piles of fries were, if not piping hot, still pretty warm and crispy. BF’s burger was also a treat. Best of all, in keeping with its tavern spirit, I ordered a local pilsner for him and a La Fin du Monde for me. Because you can get any of The Monk’s bottled beers, sours, or wine to go too, and all at new retail level pricing. Such a deal!
Monk’s Kettle is offering delivery and pickup, or you can buy a gift card for yourself for future meals when we can once again share food with friends and families out in our beautiful little neighborhood.

Mission Curry House
What used to be Lotus SF (reviewed here) became Mission Curry House, and I hadn’t tried it yet. I ordered and paid online and went to pick up our food. The door was open, and the good fellows at Mission Curry greeted me with a big smile and stood at least 10 feet away from me as they pointed me to a table that had our bag of food on it. Simple and safe.
We got the chicken momos from the Himalayan section of their menu — should have gotten two orders, they were so good. Also, a spicy lamb vindaloo with potatoes, a tomato and cuke salad with dressing on the side, and tender butter naan. All very warming and delish. And socially distant! Mmmmmomos …
Mission Curry House has their full menu available for take-out/delivery, and if you didn’t already know it, Indian food travels very well. This local restaurant hasn’t been open very long, so please check them out and make sure they’re still with us when this is all over.

Why these places out of the hundreds of other possibilities? These are overpriced and not very good.
“You’re going to get sick of your own cooking” This is the tone deaf mentality that has pervaded over the Mission for too long. Have you stopped to think that there are people that are going hungry without anything to eat? How about people that are getting really sick?
And you write to create this ad and monetary purposes?
You have a lot to learn about life my friend.
I wouldn’t put it in such stark terms but I had a similar reaction to this headline. If I’m on a tight budget, there’s no way I’m eating out for the sake of my budget, and don’t want to be getting told that the only economical way of feeding myself is a bore. That’s demeaning. There’s a lot of joy in making food to one’s taste.
Plus, if you really care about efficiently taking care of people in need, cook for yourself and donate the spare money either to a food bank or so that a restaurant can cook food for hungry people or medical workers.
What a strange comment. Yes, there are people struggling with food, and there are people getting sick, and none of that gets any better if local restaurants that employ locals go out of business too. And this is a review, not an ad.
