There are so many places that say they are Himalayan or Nepalese or whatever, and there are ones closer to my house than MoMo Masalas, but I really like the menu here and the prices are fair. I like the Chilli Paneer (or chicken, if you want), a kind of street food-style dish that seems to walk the line between Indian and Chinese. Dahi Chicken is nice, too.

I was only in town for the summer but ate at this place a few times. The food is really good and the owners are incredibly friendly and sweet. The chili chicken and pork were my favorites; I’m sure the paneer is good too but I never got the chance to try. Mango lassi is delicious. When I left I told her that this place was one of the highlights of my summer and I meant it!

My favorite northside restaurant. Food is slightly more expensive than other restaurants, and takes a little while to make (so order early on snackpass), but the portions are generous, the food is just really tasty, and the old lady at the front is the sweetest person ever. :)
Personal favorite dish is the chili chicken.

This spot is one of my favorites. For each dish, they think very carefully about the textures, flavors, and spices, and how they should come together to leave a lasting impression. A dish only makes it on the menu when they are proud to serve it. You can tell from the first bite that they care about what they’re serving.
The staff are incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, and it’s clear they enjoy sharing what they do. No matter the day, they will know exactly what you need. Whether it be good conversation, good food, or as is often the case, both.

I absolutely love this place. The owner is the sweetest auntie and its always a pleasure to chat with her. She also remembers repeat customers and I really do feel so welcome and loved when visiting.
The food is also amazingly comforting when I'm nostalgic and missing home. The price is also affordable for students, with the portions being very generous and often enough for me to pack and bring home to eat later.

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in the bay. Every dish I’ve had here is absolutely incredible, and it’s run by the kindest and most generous couple. I can’t recommend it enough!

A hole in the wall place with great food. Service was slow, place was very small and had seating for maybe 10 people. Jhol Momoa were really good and mango lassi was likely the best ive have outside india. Biryani was the highlight of the meal. Be patient with the service, worth the wait.
