Himalayan Restaurants near El Cerrito, CA

“The fried rice with the Gobi Manchurian tasted delicious and a fantastic pairing. Samosa chaat was delightfully tangy and the chilli momos were saucy and flavorful. The spice level customizations are carefully done - the mild offered no teary eyes and the medium had a kick to it. The Nepal ice beer was light and crisp. Portion sizes were huge and we had leftovers over 1-2 more meals. If you'd like to avoid leftovers and are moderately hungry, share a fried rice and an entree to pair it with. Service was attentive and friendly.We'll definitely be back for more!“

“Delicious food , best Momo in the Bay Area“

“Dining at Zomsa was an absolute delight! The Laphing was wonderfully spicy and tangy, a great way to kick off the meal. The Wai Wai Chatptey was a lovely surprise, mixing crunchy textures with savory flavors that kept me coming back for more. Both the Chicken Jhol Momo and Buff Jhol Momo were comforting and flavorful, with a broth that was rich and aromatic. The Sukuti Bento Box was a fantastic mix of tastes and textures, making for a very satisfying meal. Each dish showcased the quality and authenticity Zomsa prides itself on, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to explore Tibetan and Nepalese cuisine.“

“I've been coming to Himalayan cuisine since 2009. When it first tried their cheese naan with chicken korma and chicken tikka and yellow doll, I fell in love with the food, the customer service, the atmosphere, the stop, and the owner. I wish felt so taking care of and so valued whenever I would come in. So I kept coming back and then two years ago I moved to Portland and there was not one Indian or Himalayan restaurant that had as great food as Himalayan cuisine in SF. In If you I want the best of the best. Come here for dinner and bring your friends ;)Vegetarian options: The food is so good. You can't even tell that it's just vegetarian food. ;)“

“After five years of searching, I finally found my Indian restaurant in the city. While the decor may not be flashy, what won me over was the impeccable food and service (thank you, Jalson). From the Papadam and chutneys offered complimentary (not one other restaurant we have tried has offered that!) to delicious, perfectly spiced food, it was just such a relief to have well done favorites. Delicious saag paneer and chicken tikka masala with huge plentiful chunks of chicken, (something most other restaurants skimp on). I can't wait to go back and try the lamb! The Taj was ice cold and the gulab Janum they treated us to was perfection. Delightful experience and super well priced! A++Vegetarian options: Endless vegetarian and vegan options“

“Very good restaurant, we enjoyed ourselvesThe servers are very nice, they made a mistake with my dish and realized it very quickly, they apologized several timesWe had a Chicken Momo to share, and a Chicken Tikka Masala and a Chicken Korma and Garlic Naan everything was deliciousTherefore, we had the chance to taste the Chcken Spinach which was also very goodI recommend this restaurant“

“Hallmark of a small business that takes pride in itself, is an owner who, after closing, will still let you in, and serve and cook a meal for you since you came by. Bini’s dedication to her customers shows. I came rather late at closing time and they were already cleaned up, ready to go, but they still opened up and made my order…talk about great service!! .I got the gurkha cchicken and chicken momos, and it was delicious!! The momos are new to me, never heard of it until I looked up this restaurant - they were scrumptious and kind of like xiao long baos, but with this out of the world orange sauce that if I didn’t know better can become the new addiction problem for SF. The gurkha chicken was equally tasty with huge chunks of meat and amazing sauce served over plenty of rice.Do yourself a favor and visit if you haven’t. Price point is fair too. Can’t wait to go back and try the other items on menu.“

“It was my first time eating at Piroo and this food place is awesome! I was looking for a place to eat at after a long day at work and going to the gym and was able to find this spot on yelp. Overall, the food that I ordered was really good and the customer service was great! I will definitely come back to try out the pork momo and tacos next time!“

“Me and my date, we just came from LA and wanted to try some authentic nepalese cuisine and i found everest kitchen on the top of the list. I tried pork choila , tikka masala, momo. They were outstanding. I also tried some of their craft beer. Overall we enjoyed alot their, not only food the waiters were very friendly . I would definitely visit everest kitchen whenever i came to sfo next time.“

“My girlfriend and I recently dined at Momo Masala, and it was an experience we won't forgey. The menu offered a delightful array of options, but our hearts were set on trying their renowned momos and biryani. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint! The momos were bursting with flavor, each bite a symphony of spices and textures.The biryani was a revelation, perfectly cooked rice layered with tender meat and aromatic spices.What truly elevated our dining experience was the ambiance. Surrounded by lush indoor plants and subtle Himalayan decor, we felt like we were dining in a cozy mountain retreat. It was a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.But what truly set Momo Masala apart was their exceptional staff. Not only were they attentive and friendly, but their prompt service ensured that our evening flowed seamlessly.In conclusion, if you're looking for a culinary adventure that tantalizes the taste buds and soothes the soul, look no further than Momo Masala. It's more than just a restaurant; it's an experience worth savoring.“

“I got the daily plate with Kabocha squash, brown rice, kale and salad. The prices went up to $17.99, but the business owner Tashi threw in a free Indian chai (score!). I learned he assumed ownership rather recently so he will be revamping the menu to focus on vegetarian dishes. As for the interior, it's a bit dated and in need of renovation which Tashi is planning to do. He said the landlord is replacing the windows and he will replace the current flooring. Can't wait to see it when it's all done. I always found Tibetan food to be nourishing. It's delicious too. And I absolutely support his ultimate goal of educating people about Tibetan culture which is slowly being lost in the future generations :( with that said, I will be back.“

“Took a risk on this place despite it being too new to have reviews, and I'm very glad I did. The restaurant has a cozy vibe with Karam boards and complimentary chai. Server was extremely nice, and even gave me complimentary rice with my appetizer. Food was also very good. I got the Fried Momo and the Chili Paneer. All felt like it was freshly prepared and had good quality ingredients. Definitely going back for a more complete meal.“

“Im a local food blogger/chef I had a great experience at this restaurant I ordered the chili chicken and my God this is great dish I would order this again again and again! Salute to the restaurant and who ever cooked this! GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE“

“My sister and I had dinner here recently and it was very enjoyable. Our server was attentive and friendly. I had lamb korma and my sister had chicken korma and both were excellent! The naan bread was some of the best I've had, the perfect balance of soft and crisp. Portion sizes were just right. I would definitely visit again!“

“I love this place!!! I stumbled upon it when I was walking to eat at Barneys but after seeing the menu on their window I decided to walk in and check it out and I’m glad I did!!“

“Great food and service, I would like to explore more from the menu“

“My husband and I love this spot and regularly enjoy the lunch specials here. I recently ordered the pumpkin chicken curry and he ordered the chicken saag. Both were so good that we didn’t share! Lunch specials come with white or brown rice, lentil soup (yum), and very fluffy naan. Pair with a hot chai and it’s an excellent meal.“

“I went to the ferry building farmers market and stumbled upon this stand making momos. I was intrigued by the sauce on the dumplings and just knew I had to order. The lamb was spiced and really complimented the cream sauce on the momos. I will definitely be back to try their other dishes!“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Aloo Naan. It was very good I recommend this restaurant.“

“Highly recommend this place for authentic Nepali Indian taste. Huge portions, value for money! We ordered jhol veg Momos, chili veg Momos, veg chow mein, veg fried rice. All dishes were delicious and 3 of us ate this over 3 meals because of the huge portions. This place will not disappoint! Recommend take out or delivery.“

“Went here for some drinks and to watch the Tennessee Vols football game (visiting from out of town). Staff was very friendly, and Eddy was great! Enjoyed talking to him, and he put the game on for us and was overall wonderful. I wish we hadn’t eaten lunch before going there, because the food looked great. We did have the fries which were perfect.“

“Food is delicious! My server was welcoming and the food was served hot and neatly. I was offered GF and vegetarian options that were delicious! Definitely recommended.“

“I'm a fan of Nepalese food and was thrilled to find this lunch spot in the financial district. Waited 10-15 minutes for my food, but the wait was totally worth it. Got the chicken momos, which are a solid lunch option. Kitchen/food prep area is completely visible from the dining/waiting area, so you can see the staff hard at work prepping the orders. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu and supporting this small business!“

“We always order momos from this place, and they never disappoint. Last time, we tried some other dishes, and the noodles weren't great. Still, the momos are the best around, The momos have amazing flavors, and the prices are fair. We usually do takeout, but we're excited to eat in sometime. Despite the noodle issue, it's still our favorite spot for satisfying our momo cravings.“

“The signature Momo dumplings were outstanding, fresh flavor with a beautiful savory sauce. Lamb shank was melt off the bone deliciousness. awesome outdoor seating & excellent friendly service“

“This place will become a regular takeout treat for me - Chicken Sekuwa is moist and so flavorful, Chicken Chowmein is light and tasty (I know... chowmein! But it's really more of a lo mein than the chowmein I remember from childhood "Chinese" restaurants where I grew up), spicy Bhindi Tarkari (okra with onions and tomatoes), and delicious rotis and parathas. Really friendly staff and efficient online ordering.“
