2. Amber India - Also in SoMa (near Yerba Buena) Long-standing SF favorite. Extensive vegetarian menu with vegan-adaptable dishes. No egg in most veg dishes. They've been around for years and tend to have broader hours on weekends. 📍 25 Yerba Buena Ln, San Francisco - (415) 777-0500
3. North India Restaurant - SoMa Explicitly advertises vegetarian specialties. Located right in SoMa. Weekend hours go until 11:30 PM - you may be just past closing, but worth a call. 📍 SoMa - (415) 348-1234

Important - it's 12:12 AM right now. Most Indian restaurants in SF close between 10 PM - 11:30 PM. Your practical options at this hour:
  • Call Rooh or Amber India to check if they're still seating
  • Check DoorDash or Uber Eats for late-night delivery from vegetarian Indian spots - that's your most reliable option right now
  • Filter by "vegan" and note that pure vegetarian Indian restaurants (especially South Indian like Udupi Palace) are almost always egg-free by default
For the no-egg requirement specifically: South Indian and Gujarati restaurants are your safest bet since those regional cuisines traditionally avoid eggs entirely.
