nice vibes little place with good service. i really liked the amount and ease of vegan options. i enjoyed the vegan mango lassi which i haven’t seen in other places before. also really liked the samosa chaat. the saag, aloo gobi, momos, and biryani were all alright.

This is a family owned restaurant serving all varieties of Indian and Nepalese food. The dry chilli chicken and Himalayan chowmein tasted best and reminded me of the Indo-Chinese flavors growing up in India. Kids loved the cheese paratha. Very good dining experience with the owner constantly checking on us delivering good customer service. The price was reasonable. Will highly recommend anyone visiting Berkeley campus.

Pretty expensive for tiny portions, although the food was delicious and the service was good. It was empty when we went, but to be fair it was a Wednesday at 2 pm. The place was fairly nice, however it would have been nicer with a little music since it was awkwardly very quiet. It was also really cold inside. Although the food was tasty, it should have been spicier. We ordered medium and I wouldn’t even call what we got mild. My favorite thing is the many vegan options they have on the menu.

Excellent service, great customer care and awesome atmosphere. Very pleasant greeting and willing to take and act on customer feedback immediately. Liked food last time but unfortunately didn’t click this time. Potato parata is good.

This is a nice place to sit and eat in Berkeley, though I would grab a drink elsewhere. My partner and I arrived here 30-40min before closing and the staff were friendly and fast. The dining room is pleasant and clean.

We went there in between lunch and dinner serving. Overall pretty disappointing experience. Service was terrible and slow, food was very spicy and modest at best. Never again.

Good combination of familiar Indian and more unique Nepalese dishes at a good restaurant price point in one of ‘downtown’ street (Shattuck) area in Berkeley. The place is quaint, friendly service and each entree (average $15 per dish) comes with delicious lentil soup and a choice of basmati/brown rice or freshly baked naan (a must have!). Would recommend what I tried: Saag Paneer (spinach dish) and Chicken Coconut Curry and for drink: hot unsweetened Nepalese tea easy on the milk (taste like Masala Chai tea) – I believe it’s a healthy accompaniment for that type of food. Btw the mural outside the restaurant is a nice add to see out the window. Street parking is relatively easy to find.

Not somewhere I would personally eat again. The samosa had an odd sulfurous flavor to it and the Chana masala was very watered down and runny. Also the Chana was overcooked and mushy. Not much chana in it, mostly liquid
