“I live out in Martinez,,,, so its about a 20minute drive out to come eat here, but this place is TOP NOTCH the most DELICIOUS indian restaurant ive been to in my life! I just happened across it one day on the way home from grocery shopping at tokyo fish. We just yelped a restaurant on the way home and the freeway exit was closest to Paradise... BOY DID I HIT THE JACKPOT!!!! We ordered something we are usually familiar with, the chicken tikka masala, and shrimp masala and some naan. They... were.. i... was... it... just loss for words. The spice, the creaminess and tang, the JUICINESS of the chicken and FRESHNESS of the shrimp! The chicken and shrimp were not lost in the sauce, the flavors were PHENOMENAL! Naan was piping hot, crispy outside and soft pillow inside. Again, loss of words. JUST. SO. DELICIOUS!! Ive gone 4 times since out first unforgettable experience and every time we get baffled and amazed of how their curry tastes so dang good. Paradise is so good that im literally not afraid to try new things there! Ive never tried curry other than popular dishes like tikka masalas, but i ventured out to vegetable khormas, saag paneers, and also gained a new found love for their refreshing raitas to enjoy with ANY curry! I LOVE their menu i wish i can take it home lolol i cant wait to come back again soon, i feel like i want to go down the menu top to bottom and conquer it all! Ahh, and how could i forget.... THEIR CHAI TEA PLEASE ORDER IT!! PLEASE!!! Their mango lassi is delicious BUT IM SO ADDICTED TO THEIR TEA!! The balance of the spices they use is PERFECT. I always order one during the meal and another fresh cup for on the way home (sorry Paradise for the troubles!) they make each cup to order so im sure its a hassle...! Anyways whew, ive never written such a long review,, but thats just now amazing they are. The server is a really nice young gentleman and i think he remembers me now for all the reactions ny husband and i make while eating lol. Even the chefs came out to wave bye to us, they are all so wonderful, i always have such a nice experience there.“
“The saag paneer is just like someone makes in their house in Punjab. I have stopped making saag at home after I tasted theirs. The chicken tikka masala divine and to satiate your palette there are always local craft beers on tap. Not to forget Simtra.“

“I think I like the chicken tikka masala here better than Zareen's. No more needs to be said there. Sometimes I feel like it can be a bit inconsistent when it comes to the rice, but overall, this is some of the best chicken tikka masala you can get in the bay imo.“

“A family friend brought us to this hole in the wall spot, and I was impressed. Our group had a mix of folks with different dietary restrictions (vegetarian, pescatarian, etc), and they were incredibly sweet and accommodating to everyone. Service was quick and the food was great. Love that it's a woman owned business, too! Highly recommend.“

“100% Halal meats! This place is delicious, my husband and I got takeout and we ordered the Punjabi masala bhindi (mild) Malai Kofta (mild) Chicken curry (medium) Chilli chicken (mild) Tandoori roti and plain rice The mild is perfect but the medium could be a tad more spicy. Looking forward to trying some more, especially the Indo Chinese.“

“I deeply appreciate the owners dedication to creating a wonderful experience for their customers. Last time we went to Everest Kitchen, we had a hiccup with our Togo order. After learning about this, the owners and staff were quick to resolve the issue! We're glad we got to give them another go because it was well worth it! My husband and I had the veggie korma, lamb curry, garlic naan, mango lassi, and samosas. The entrees were flavorful, and paired nicely with the garlic naan (of course!). The samosas are MUST try. Wow. They were phenomenal!! I love samosas already, but I find that some places tend to over bread them. These were perfect. These had a nice outer shell that wasn't too thick, so you really get to enjoy the flavors. I could have eaten the whole order to myself, they were that good! The sauces that accompany the samosas are also very tasty. 10/10. Lastly, the Mango Lassi was a great treat. It was the right level of sweetness for my husband and I. Overall, after our experience and interactions with the staff/owners, we will definitely be back and thinks it's worth giving a try for those looking for quality food/service.“

“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.“

“Best restaurant in the East Bay! I dine out quite often, but this one has been the best dining experience in the past year! First, the entire place is super clean! The floor, the table surface, and even the wall corners look very clean and dust-free. Second, it has its own parking lot, which is a big bonus. Third, the guy was super friendly! Once we sat down, he was paying attention to us to see if we needed to order or anything. He was very responsive the entire time. Fourth, the restaurant was very quiet, which was rare near Berkeley. My boyfriend and I were able to have a conversation while enjoying the food.Most importantly, the food was SUPER GOOD! I tried some curry houses nearby, but this one was unbelievably fantastic. I didn't expect it to be this good. We order one appetizer, two curries with rice and a dessert. The appetizer and the curries were really delicious, and the portion was LARGE! I think one curry should be enough for me and a friend. I didn't really like the pudding (dessert) because of the spice, but I guess the pudding itself was well-made.The guy said it opened last July, so it's still quite new. Overall, the vibe was cool, the food was really good, and the price was pretty good as well! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This will be my go-to option with friends and family from now on.“

“My first time trying Indian food and for sake of playing it safe I only ordered chicken tiki masala and garlic naan and basmati rice. The food was absolutely delicious. Served hot and full of flavor. I asked for mild to medium tiki masala and it was perfect . The garlic naan had right amount of garlic and toasted perfectly. I look forward to trying out more items. I ordered take out and person that answered phone is same person that I met and was very friendly and provided quick service. My order was correct packaged well. The restaurant looked very clean nicely decorated.“

“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.“

“Charming little spot with cheerful decor and welcoming staff. Probably best suited to small groups as it's quite cozy. Went for my birthday with family, including elderly-ish mom who enjoyed the food and was treated very kindly by the staff.“

“I rate the Baltic Kiss five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We love the atmosphere and the music. The cocktail was memorable and the food is tasty and delicious. I had the Gumbo and the vegetables were fresh and cooked just right, not mushy. My group were very happy with their order. The homemade ice cream for dessert is fluffy and delicious. The sound of the music remarkably sounded so professional because the speakers were purchased from Yoshi’s when they decided to upgrade their sound system.“

“The menu had so many options that sounded good and we were trying to figure out a way to do a half and half - couldn’t do it on DoorDash, but when ordering directly from their website they have a half and half option!We got the chicken pizza masala and combination pizza ? if you’re Indian and know of Nirula’s pizza, this comes so close to being that good. We enjoyed both halves of the pizza with pepper flakes, and would recommend the half and half if you want to try different ones because these pizzas are pretty big“

“Nothing too fancy. But great food. Tandoori salmon was great! Tandoori chicken was a bit dry. Though they used chicken breast which is usually dry. Dipping the chicken in the tasty Tikka sauce helped. Excellent Naan! Mango lassi was thick and tasty. Lamb tandoori was overcooked. Would come back to try more dishes, now knowing which to avoid.“

“My dinner partner and I both agree that the physical atmosphere, and food were excellent. The place was almost empty on a Sunday night yet the service was mediocre. We had to keep tracking down the waiter for our hot water for the tea, box for take away, etc. Inattentive. The staff also seemed unhappy or dissatisfied with their jobs. The prices have gone up so don’t feel we got value for our money“

“I felt compelled to complete this review during my meal so I wouldn't forget! I decided to take a quick detour from my errands in Orinda for a bite to eat. I had no idea what I had a taste for, but settled on Saffron because of the notably high ratings and reviews...and oh boy! I wasn't disappointed! I am blown away! The food here is fresh and flavorful. I had the vegetable samosas and the Chicken Tikka Kababs with Basmati rice. Everything arrived sizzling hot to the table in good portion. Even the accompanying side sauces were delicious. I highly, highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the mood for quality Indian cuisine. I'll definitely be back!“

“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.“
“Great people and extremely satisfying food. It was just what we wanted and we will be back soon and undoubtedly regularly thereafter. Five stars for sure. Thanks!“

“$30 for one Lamb Karahi and Garlic Naan including tip and tax. Good sized portion for after the gym.Taste was really good, but I’ve had better Lamb Karahi, of a similar portion, for less money in the East Bay.If the value doesn’t bother you this is a great place.“

“I was in the neighborhood so I stopped by for lunch. I had Salad and Tandoori Salmon. The salad was organic, it was light and delicious and not laden with too much ranch or fat. The tandoor salmon was really moist, delicious and served sizzling. Tandoori salmon came with basmati rice and aloo palak saag. That saag was light yet flavorful. Overall a very nice meal. I think it is a must try if you are in the area.“
“Super solid and very substantial meal for the money! There isn't much (if any) sit down space, so it's definitely a grab and go option (they're on Snackpass too if you want to order ahead). You build bowls/burritos by specifying the main protein and all the sides, very similar to Chipotle, but for Indian food. It's certainly not the best Indian food you can find in Berkeley, but seeing as it's a fast-casual restaurant, the quality and price are quite good. Just a note that they will fill your burrito with so much filling that it barely closes - sounds good at first due to the volume of food, but it's impossibly messy to eat. I stick with the bowls now, which makes it easier to save the remainder to eat later vs. a burrito, which will get all soggy and disintegrate. You've been warned :D The lunch rush can bring some long lines, but since most of the food is already cooked, the assembly is quite fast. At peak lunch rush, you should anticipate a 15 minute wait, or use Snackpass to order ahead.“

“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.“

“I have eaten several times in this restaurant. It is elegant enough to have a meeting or friends reunion, and reasonably priced for students. You may treat yourself for a 'tandoori' delicious dish, or just go vegetarian. The owners are almost always there and give a nice atmosphere to the place. I just love this restaurant! Decoración elegante · Restaurantes económicos · Cosy atmosphere · Comida excelente · Opciones saludables · Raciones grandes“
“The menu delves into dishes from different parts of India beyond the mainstream ones we usually see at Indian restaurants in North America. The detailed descriptions on the menu help you learn more about what you're eating. Almost all entrees come with rice, creamy daal (lentils) and some greens. The naan/kulcha were large and fluffy. The bharwa karela (bitter melon) was very flavorful and bitter. Instantly took me back to my childhood.Menu changes monthly. Can't wait to be back to explore more of the Indian cuisine“

“The food was DELICIOUS! My partner and I ordered a bunch of stuff for her birthday and we were happy with every dish. The Bombay Chicken and the Samosas were so tasty and spiced differently than a lot of other places in the East Bay, setting Munch India apart. My partner said it reminded her of how her food was spiced when she lived in India. We will be back to try more!“

“One of the few Indian restaurants in Berkeley that stays open late. The food and drinks are incredibly good. However, it's quite difficult to get a table unless you're willing to hang out at the very loud trendy bar for an hour or more with the young hipster college crowd.“

“Dining at Kathmandu Restaurant was a culinary experience I'll never forget. My meal, the Chicken Tikka, was a masterpiece of flavors, perfectly cooked and richly seasoned, making each bite a delight. Accompanied by their garlic naan, which was soft, buttery, and infused with just the right amount of garlic, it was a combination that I found myself savoring long after the meal had ended.What truly elevated the experience, however, was the service, particularly from our server, Daniel. His friendliness and attentiveness were unmatched, making us feel welcomed and valued throughout our visit. His recommendations were spot on, ensuring that our meal was not just food, but an experience to remember.Kathmandu Restaurant's commitment to authentic Nepalese cuisine, coupled with outstanding service, makes it a must-visit for anyone in Albany looking for an exceptional dining experience. It's not just about the delicious food, but the warm hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family. Five stars are well deserved for this gem of a restaurant.“

“This place is great. The staff there are so friendly, it's really well priced, and the portions are filling. We typically get their chicken tikka masala, vindaloo, or curry. I really enjoy their fresh naan, and also appreciate that they have gluten free mains which is important for my partner. They offer a small tasting sample if you need it, as they have many options and you may want one before deciding. My only wish, and I agree with some other reviews on this, is that you could order something extra spicy. Enjoy!Dietary restrictions: I was told all their main pot dishes, salad, and rice were gluten free! This is great news for my household.“

“I enjoyed the falafel wrap sandwich. The bread was soft and fresh. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The falafel was kind of different. Like chickpea French fries. The service was friendly and helpful. The ambiance needs some work. Otherwise, it's a nice new place in my neighborhood!“

“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.“

“Wonderful. This is one of the best Indian / Pakistani restaurants in the area, and I'm including Berkeley in that assessment. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but it is a great family run spot that I plan to visit again.“
