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

“The absolute best food by far. Four of us out walking around Shattuck looking for a place to eat on a Saturday when we happened by Cafe Tibet (the jazz band brought us down this street). This is a full vegan restaurant with the absolute best food I have tasted in a long time! Rich and full of flavor and you can be served either family style or order individually, this cafe will do it any way you like. I highly recommend Cafe Tibet to anyone, vegan or not, for food that is delicious and rich in flavors. And definitely try the desserts. So good!“

“Pork momo and saucy sautéed shrimp 🍤“

“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“

“The service is always amazing and the food is great. It is one of my favorite neighborhood spots and it's so nice to have family owned spots on divisadero.

You'll quickly become a regular and be happy you are. You'll enjoy anything on the menu!“

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

“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).“

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

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

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at this amazing halal restaurant, and I can confidently say it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive without being overbearing.
The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with flavor, clearly made with fresh ingredients and authentic spices. Whether you're into curry lamb , fried momo or vegetarian options, there’s something for everyone on the menu. You can really taste the care and tradition in every bite.
I especially appreciated the clean, family friendly environment and the clear attention to maintaining halal standards. It’s not easy finding places that get both the taste and the ethics right but this one nails it.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-tier halal dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Base Camp was on our list for a few weeks and we just finally went for a late date night on a friday! The atmosphere was perfect - busy and full of people enjoying each other and beautiful food, but not crowded or loud. The owner woman greeted us and she was working HARD making sure everyone was having a nice experience. Our server was a handsome young man with a nice voice and great knowledge of the menu. We ordered 6 or 7 items total and we had a WONDERFULLY complex feast full of DELICIOUSNESS... Wow. I love the food here. Everything was amazing. I stuffed myself a bit more than I usually would just to try more things.“

“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.“

“Visited on a weekday night with a friend. We had the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, papadum and the wings. I also got the mango lassi which was so so good. Everything was so delicious and we've tried a couple of Indian restaurants in SF already -- this was truly outstanding! It was pretty affordable, service was quick and friendly. We will definitely be 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 !“

“Hey there foodie friends, Guess what? I just had the most delicious and authentic North Indian food during my visit to San Francisco! I never expected to find such yummy flavors in the USA. From buttery naan to spicy curries, my taste buds were dancing with joy! If you ever get the chance, you HAVE to try it out. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Keep on adventuring and trying new things!“

“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“

“We had a really fun dinner with a group of e finders from work. Celebrating a new class of interns. We took over the room upstairs, which fit our group of 20+ easily. Food was great. But the service was the truly remarkable thing. Big effort, big heart. They crushed it. We loved it. Will certainly return.“

“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.“

“food overall is fantastic. really tasty.
however GF naan is absolutely not safe for celiac. I've tried on three different occasions and suffered gluten exposure symptoms three times. very tasty though.
if they can start preparing their GF naan in a safe way without contamination id come here all the time.“

“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.“

“Delicious food , best Momo in the Bay Area“

“Delicious momos... One of the best part of our San Francisco visit was to try all the authentic tastes of flavorful Momos from Momolicious. My best would be Kathmandu Jhol Momo and Fiery Momo. And not to forget the kwati soup on a rainy day. We literally filled our tummy tasting all the items on the menu whole day. And we are glad we did it .So proud of you Anup Bajracharya!! And kudos to the team. It was seriously finger licking good. Friends if you happen to be in San Francisco Bay area give it a try for this Nepalese cuisine.“

“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“

“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.“

“We had a great meal here on a quiet Tuesday night, and I’d love for more people to know what a gem this spot is! The food was tasty — we had a variety of vegetarian dishes — and the service was super friendly. I loved the calming water feature and a lack of screens in the dining room; the presence of screens seems to be becoming the norm at more casual restaurants. Looking forward to coming here regularly!“

“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“

“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!!“
