Himalayan Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“I love this place. The fact that they have regional Tibetan food is one of the cool things that makes Berkeley, Berkeley. We tried the sampler containing all the Momo’s. Loved it all and it was pretty healthy. Will be coming back! Updated from previous review on 2026-01-24“

“Best Indian food I’ve had in a while, and my new go-to dinner spot after work! Momo is squishy and delicious (especially lamb!) curry was perfectly seasoned, and the naan was so scrumptious I couldn’t stop eating it (especially cheese naan omg!)“

“I study right across the street, so I’ve been eyeing this place and its momo for a while. Well… curiosity officially cured. The momo was a solid C—, like the grade you get when you show up to class but don’t really try. I ordered the mixed ones, steamed, and the dough was a bit chewy and torn.The portion was big, the filling was so mysterious I couldn’t even tell what I was chewing—could’ve been chicken, could’ve been my hopes and dreams.

On the bright side, the service was terrific and the food came out steaming hot.“

“I went at 8:10PM (20 minutes before closing), and they treated me so kindly and let me stay and eat past the closing time. I had a great experience because not only was the food delicious, so was the service, ambiance, and treatment. The food is 100% made with love and you can taste it.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Came here for an impromptu dinner with my boyfriend!

Good:
- Super nice staff and they checked in us a ton despite this place being fairly casual
- Loved the Himalayan burrito - the paratha wrap and the paneer inside was so delicious
- The noodle soup was pretty good too - sweet and savory
- Portion sizes were great - super full at the end of it

Bad:
- The wait time was a bit long for our two entrees
- A bit more casual and self-service

Overall this was a good find after a long day of walking around and was the perfect thing to get us energized for a long night.“

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

“Food is delicious! My server was welcoming and the food was served hot and neatly. I was offered GF and vegetarian options that were delicious! Definitely recommended.“

“This was my second time here it and it was just as good as I remember. Our server was attentive and kindly helped us find the best vegan items on the menu. The ambience is cozy, and it was busy without feeling overwhelming. Def will be coming back!“

“Spent 3 days in SF and in those 3 days had to come back multiple times to eat! My super picky girlfriend loved it and so did I. I had a delicious combination of flavors I had never had before. YOU HAVE TO TRY THE GARLIC BREAD. 10/10 reccomend this place.

P.S their staff if super friendly and nice!“

“The owner is very sweet! I’ve been coming here for almost 3 years, sometimes 3+ times a month🙈🤣 I always get the chicken tikka masala & chicken Cho mein, (I ask for both Spicy but you can get any level of heat you prefer) & a side of the garlic naan. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu but those are my favorite! The owner has always been very accommodating, I’m a picky eater & this is one place I come and know I’m going to get a good meal.“

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

“We had pani puri, dahi puri, wai wai sadeko, and the goat thali, and everything was absolutely delicious. The pani puri was fresh and flavorful, the dahi puri was perfectly balanced and creamy, and the wai wai sadeko had the right amount of spice and tang. The goat thali was the highlight rich in flavor, well-cooked, and very satisfying. Overall, the food tasted authentic and fresh, and the experience was excellent. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely back“

“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’ve tried momos all over the city, but this place is the Steph Curry of dumpling game: all-star, unmatched, and absolutely clutch. The sauce? Legit. Don’t sleep on it -Night Night

I came back from Kathmandu six months ago with a high momo bar... and this spot crushed it. We're talking texture that makes you want to write poetry, proportions that feel engineered by NASA, and flavor so authentic you'd swear it came with a Nepali passport.

The owners? Straight outta Kathmandu, and you can taste their roots in every bite. Plus, they're incredibly sweet—like, the kind of people who’d rescue your dumpling if it fell on the floor.

You won’t be disappointed unless you order too few.“

“Delicious food , best Momo in the Bay Area“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Was in town for a few days and was craving some Indian food, when I saw this spot I got excited when I saw the name. Just as I hoped, the menu said they also offered Tibetan/ Nepali dishes. I have always wanted to try Momos, so I had to go. Yoyo Momoss is a small spot, the kind I grew up finding the best food at, so I couldn't resist. I am so happy I found them! I got delicious Momos, Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic Naan, Aloo Gobi and oh my, everything was so good. I felt like I was home, or someone's grandmother's house. The kind of food only a seasoned chef could produce. I had been to 4 restaurants before being lucky enough to find Yoyo Momoss, and I am so glad I did. I only review restaurants I really, really enjoy, this has been the best since my arrival in Oakland! Bodhi and the cook that was with him preparing the food couldn't have been nicer. That made the visit so much better. The world needs more businesses like this one, do yourself a favor and eat here, if you're a local you will probably become a regular customer. This spot makes me wish I could stay in Oakland for a long, long time. Thank you for the wonderful food, I will be sure to come back next time I come to town.“
