“Best saag I’ve ever had! Wonderful salmon tandoori. Amazing chai 👏🏻!“

“From momos to aromatic curries, each dish is a burst of Nepalese tradition and taste. Friendly service and reasonable prices make it a must-visit for anyone craving a taste of Nepal in the heart of the USA.“

“Pork momo and saucy sautéed shrimp 🍤“

“I love this place. I have been coming here for 10 years- and each time I’m in town I make sure to give a visit. The food is fresh and doesn’t leave one feeling heavy. I got the spinach momos and #37 rice dish. Great quality and price. Will continue to come back.“

“Freshly made Momos. Amazing! I love the lamb, turkey and veggie Momos ... and the spicy sauce. Smiles from staff all the time 😀❤️ Thank You very much 👍 Order frozen Momos to cook at home“

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

“An impressive array of vegan options (4/5 Green Stars) I would highly recommend trying out this Himalayan restaurant in El Cerrito. There are plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians and the quality every item we ordered was very high. I’ve had versions of each dish before but was impressed with Zomsa’s versions and rate Zomsa as one of the best Himalayan restaurants around. The Aloo Tikki (crispy potato cake with mint and tamarind sauces – vegan, $6) was a great start. The Vegetarian Jhol Momos (dumplings filled with kale, butternut squash, mushrooms, and spices, served in a sauce made from cashews and peanuts – vegan, $14) were really good. Often vegetarian dumplings have forgettable fillings, but I found these momos to be very thoughtfully made and satisfying. The Vegetable Thakali Thali was a great combination of several items that each added to the meal (veg curry, lentil soup, pickled daikon, sautéed mustard greens, and a papad – vegan, $17). Impressed by how satisfying these vegan dishes were – you wouldn’t even notice that the entire meal was plant-based. I’m giving Zomsa 4 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these reasons: • Even though there are several meat dishes, I was impressed by how much of the menu is not just vegetarian but vegan. More than a dozen main courses are vegan, along with several appetizers. Adopting a plant-based diet is the top thing you can do to mitigate climate change and deforestation, besides avoiding animal cruelty and the negative impact of the meat industry on society. • Local beer is available on draft, mitigating packaging and transportation impacts. • The restaurant used to emphasize the use of organic ingredients, but I suspect that the prices became too high to sustain this in El Cerrito. Appreciate the effort though and hope that they still use some organic ingredients, when possible.“

“Great food and nice service. I recommend all to try and sure you will love it.“

“Great place for Indian and Nepalese food, with a lot of options. I tried Paneer Tikka Masala with Brown Rice, and thought it was pretty good (although it could have been a little more spicy). Great service as well. If you don't find parking in Solano Street or simply don't want to pay, you can find some free street parking around 7-10 mins walk from the restaurant (for example, Marin Ave near the fountain).“

“Very hard to overstate how absolutely amazing this place is. The food is superb, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service goes above and beyond to ensure you have the most perfect experience. Some of the best restaurants in the Bay Area. Extremely recommended!“

“The food was excellent and mouth watering! The staff, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend.“

“It's been a while since I've been but it's a great restaurant that I went to in college. The owner (I think Sangita dd) she's also really nice too, great service (compared to other Nepali restaurants I've been to in area) and great momo/ food options!!“

“There used to be a different indian restaurant in the space, but it’s under new ownership now and the food is delicious! They are always so friendly and the ambiance is perfect for dining in. Don’t skip the momos! Will be my go-to spot for indian and nepalese food moving forward.“

“Noe Indian Cuisine is top notch in every way! We stopped here for our lunch during our bachelorette weekend with six of us, and we were in a hurry to get to our next activity. They took our orders right away, brought the drinks and food quickly, and all of it tasted incredibly delicious, hot, and fresh. Not only that, but they brought all the boxes we needed too. Honestly, this is the best and speediest service I have ever seen at a sit down restaurant. If I'm ever back in San Francisco, I will be coming back!“

“The best Momos and butter chicken and many other things you will eat in Berkeley. Have been living here since 4 years and I make it a point to walk down to the Resturant from the hills at least twice a week for their delicious food. The food tastes like what we eat at home, spices are a perfect blend, and the produce always taste fresh. Khendu & Gopal, the hard working couple behind the Resturant are super friendly and very kind.
It’s very close to University so you all see a lotta kids come for a hot meal & the love the couple have these kids is so beautiful.
I highly recommend Momo Masala. Our favorite place in Berkeley !“

“Such a great dining experience. The chutneys are made fresh every morning and you can taste the freshness. Some of my favorite dishes were the vegetable pakoda and chicken biriyani. DB is one of the nicest servers, making sure that the spice level and food suites your needs. Highly recommend for solid Indian food in the city.“

“FANTASTIC service, DELICIOUS meal, CHARMING ambiance! Second visit here and we can't wait to come back. A few tables were occupied when we arrived before 6pm on a Tuesday, but the place filled up fast. We ordered the kale chaat, biryani, pumpkin curry and cashew chicken, and fried chicken. Everything was freshly prepared and flavorful. We would order everything again but want to try other dishes as well. Such a wonderful gem in the city!“

“Very good place !
First time trying Nepalese food
I had khasi ko masu (goat curry), you can ask for not too spicy
As a none spicy eater it was very fine !!!
Around 17$
Rice comes with it
It was fast and the staff is welcoming“

“Delicious food , best Momo in the Bay Area“

“We live in the neighborhood and there are many, many Indian restaurants but this one is a standout. The ingredients are fresh, the atmosphere is more elevated, the prices are more affordable, and the recipes are wonderful particularly the tikka masala and saag.
Lots of places substitute quality for heavy oil and salt. This place just knows how to cook! It’s the real deal.“

“Soul food. If you are craving for something simple and home style food after a long day .. I would recommend this place for sure .. they have other options but I was traveling and it’s a Monday and was looking forward something simple and not too much spicy and they served me the right flavors to my pallet !!!“

“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.“

“Freshly made Momos. Amazing! I love the lamb, turkey and veggie Momos ... and the spicy sauce. Smiles from staff all the time 😀❤️ Thank You very much 👍 Order frozen Momos to cook at home“

“Absolutely excellent meal! We usually go to Indian restaurant in Berkeley but wanted to try something closer to home. We got the samosas, chicken momo, chicken tikka masala, goat curry and the butter naan.

The goat curry was one of the most flavorful dishes we’ve had in a long time. The meat comes on the bone so expect a little bit of work but it’s well worth it for the flavor. Extremely rich, flavorful, and spicy. Chicken momo is also worth calling out as a must have. Odd yet true, but the water was surprisingly pure and fresh. Don’t know the last time a restaurant’s water caught my attention for a good reason. Overall a surprisingly great meal with a nice view.

Service was wonderful and all the food came out hot. Definitely our new favorite local Indian spot and we’re already looking forward to returning.“

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

“This is an absolute jewel hidden away in El Cerrito. It is a great combination of Nepalese and Tibetan food. The food is very authentic and they have dishes you don't see at other Nepalese restaurants. The service is fantastic and you feel very welcomed there.“

“Arvin and Puja prepare authentic Nepalese Food that is delicious. My favorites are the Palak Panner, Mixed Vegetable, and Paneer Tikamasala as I am vegetarian. The Nan and Roti are to die for. I love the down to earth homie atmosphere and friendly service. It you want good quality wholesome food in a relaxed and friendly setting, this is your place. I highly recommend Mount Everest to anyone.“

“Great food and great drinks! Friendly staff. You have to come by and check it out.“

“love this place. Food is fresh and delicious. Owner is also very hospitable and always greets us with a warm 😃“

“I ordered takeout from NEWA. The food was excellent! The paneer tikka masala was super good. We ordered the spicy, and were humbled but honestly that’s what you’re looking for from an Indian/nepalese restaurant. The vegetable momos were unlike any momos I’ve had before but were super flavorful, with great texture & came with a punchy dipping sauce. Definitely have to order from them again!!“

“Was visiting San Francisco from the UK and discovered this gem of a restaurant for dinner. Best chana masala I've ever tasted, generous portions, Excellent value for money, polite and attentive owner who kindly served the food. Would definitely recommend.“

“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“
