We eat here often and love the food and atmosphere with the wonderful murals on the walls. We have done take-out but prefer to dine in because of the nice atmosphere. Several times recently Binita was our server and she is always kind, patient and efficient! We tried the spicy momos this time which were delicious.

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.
