Air India Maharaja Lounge

Not bad

Air India's Maharaja Lounge is a useful addition for Star Alliance departures from SFO's A Gates, but it is still a compact outstation lounge. The space has good natural light, Wi-Fi, a hot Indian buffet, a full-service bar, individual restrooms with one shower room, and a convenient Level 4 location for eligible passengers departing from International Terminal A. It is strongest as a practical nearby option for A Gates departures rather than a lounge worth a long terminal detour.
