Zomsa used to be our go to-place when in the area! But the recent visit left bad taste in all aspects. Looks like the management need to step up their game. For the price, quality and the service, there are many more Nepalese/Himalayan options nearby. Very disappointed with the service ! Didn’t bother to check on the food or water refills. The place was not even busy when we arrived. Food was average at its best. Goat sekuwa was totally different from what we had last time. Wouldn’t even call it sekuwa-pretty much looked like sauted goat curry with nothing but tiny pieces of bones! Laphing and Chatpatey were the only dishes we enjoyed! Jhol of MOMO was good too, MOMO not so much! Overall, a fairly disappointing experience at what used to be one of our favorite restaurants!

I love the food here. This place is so yummy. I’ve been going once every two weeks or so. The service is also great. The son of the owner is often working and a very kind soul. It also feels like a community spot with many local Nepalese folks showing up. I get the vegan Tali plate and every item is a taste delight. Great for a vegan and also has meat options. My daughter said the chicken was so good.

This Indian restaurant is a true gem, especially for vegetarians! The menu is packed with flavorful, creative options that go far beyond the typical choices, each dish rich with spices and authenticity. The paneer tikka melts in your mouth, the samosa is perfectly spiced, and the vegetable biryani is fragrant and satisfying. While everything was delicious, I do wish it had just a touch more heat to really bring out the depth of flavors. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable, always ready to make recommendations. Highly recommend for vegetarians and food lovers alike!

This is hands down best Nepali restaurant I've visited in a while. As a Nepali, I would recommend this 100% to anyone who's craving for some authentic Nepali flavors. Laphing, Shabhaley, Chicken chhoila set and Aloo Phinghsa were all on point.
Best momo in Bay Area no cap. Traditional jhol momo.

Tasteless food.Nepal ka naam kharab kar diya. Dim sum outer layer is so fat, filling is hopeless. Stale food, noodles were tasteless. Unbelievable .wated my money
You’re missing out guys. Try this place and you’ll be back here everytime. The chicken choila and goat sekuwa bento box are one of a kind. Tara dai is the best. Along side awesome food you will also be in the presence of a down to earth nepalese dude who will take you down the memory lane.

First couple orders were decent, but last few orders were disappointing and meh. Weird grainy consistency on the curry, dumplings super dry.
Why is it so hard for El Cerrito restaurants to be mildly consistent?
Perhaps a better experience eating there, only have done delivery and take out.
