We really enjoyed the food a lot. Tandoori boti kebab, chicken vindaloo, and the naan was amazingly tasty!

Everything was great! If you get a few items you can go home with leftovers for the next day because it is filling and super delish. The chicken momo was yummy and flavorful as well as everything else

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy, and some tables even are lined with white tablecloth; the seats nearing the windows look super cozy. Food came out quickly. My favorite is the lamb momos, very flavorful and unique. The naan is delicious, not too thick and crispy and light and delightfully buttery. The rogan josh is not as tomato-y as other places and quite similar to their basic curry. Best of all, it wasn't too expensive so great value for what you get, especially in the area.

The service was really bad
Noodles were uncooked when asked to replace it.they put in back on the stove and got the same thing again
Laccha parantha was undercooked and said it will take 30 mins to cook again
Rude rude rude

Wonderful Nepali restaurant with great goat curry, daal, rice and naan. We enjoyed a really good lunch, and the service was friendly and caring

I was at the chiropractor next door. The restaurant looked interesting but I haven't eaten there.

One of my favorite restaurants in Berkeley. This family run restaurant serving mouth watering, authentic Nepalese food. Service is warm and friendly.

Indian & Nepalese Food is very tasty. We had Thali, Paneer Masala Curry, Dal Fry (they used Chana Dal), Momos, Butter/Garlic Naan, Lassi etc. All items are very tasty and authentic. Nān is soft and fluffy. We were 10 people (8 elders + 2 kids). The lady who took order and served the food was very efficient, friendly and cooperative.

A great place to dine in.

Stumbled here by mistake but ended up being the best mistake. Service was friendly, prompt, and helpful. Food came in a timely manner (not fast and not slow so that's good!) and wow was it packed with flavor. Their mint lemonade is worth ordering as well!

For once the reviews are correct. We had choice to choose among few but this place didnot disappointed us.
We had a friend who was vegeterian and south asian restaurants are goto choices because of that challenge.
We started with momo and paneer chilli.
We nepali immigrants are notorious for judging a restaurant based on momo and i was really glad that i discovered this gem in our little food adventure because its momo passed my expectations. The chilli was good too. Then we ordered veg biryani and chicken vindaloo. Having never ordered vindaloo before at first i was surprised to find massive chunk of boiled potato and for first few serving i was like "where is the chicken‽". I should have known chicken vindaloo, if we break vindaloo, i guess it is vindi + aloo or alu which means potato. It wasnot bad just that i was not expecting alu or potato in my chicken. I ordered spicy but i had no problem with spice. But real star was veg biryani. And the portion was massive. We were glad we only ordered 1 plate. And we ordered cucumber raita to go with which again was coincidence but food god wanted us to really enjoy our dinner.
We should have taken picture of food and friends but the food was so good, talk was so spontaneous I completely forgot about that:). Thank you himalayan tandori for this experience.

We absolutely loved this place. As people who know what authentic Indian and Nepalese food tastes like, finding a good place can be sometimes difficult. This place didn’t disappoint.

We went here on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn’t busy at all. We were seated promptly, and were looked after through and through. We ordered chicken momos, chicken karahi and a couple of garlic and cilantro naan. There are 8 momos in one plate. The momos were juicy, and hit the spot. Chicken karahi tasted great too, we liked that there wasn’t a lot of gravy in chicken karahi, and yet it was so flavourful. The naan was good too. To give you an idea of the portion sizes, all of this food was enough or 2 people. We also ordered the chai at the end, and it took me back to my days back home in India. The food here is truly authentic.

The server was very prompt in looking after the customers. For instance, we never had to ask for water, and she kept refilling our glasses. They’ve memorabilia, and art from Nepal inside the restaurant, which lends an inviting vibe to this place. The food prices are decent considering the area and the service. Expect to spend around 25-30 dollars per person if you eat a decent meal. There is street parking outside the restaurant, and it can be tight, or so it seemed. However you can park your car close by as well and walk to the restaurant.

It’s not a huge restaurant, but they do their best with the space available. They’ve a restroom inside as well.

I’ll be back here whenever I’m in Berkeley again. Thank you staff and the restaurant for everything!

So good. Got fish tandoori perfectly cooked and seasoned. Also got chicken tandoori, samosas and bhindi bhaji. Everything was perfect. So good will definitely be back. I also got to try the mango Lassi. It was amazing. Support small and local businesses. Sorry no pictures as we were hungry.

The best Nepalese and Indian restaurant we've ever been to. The flavours of the dishes are on point. Very tasty and the dishes has their own character, you would know which one is the butter chicken, tikka masala even when blind folded. Some restaurants has the flavours of the dishes so close that you cant distinguish them. The prices are not cheap and servings are not big but its worth it and its satisfying.

The best Indian cuisine in Berkeley amazing flavor.
Be sure to order in advance as dishes take 20-25 to prepare.

Flavors are always so delightful, fresh food, not oily and just right. I particularly love their vegan Pumpkin Chana, their lentil soup and the cherry cashew Makhmali Naan.
