“Punjabi Kitchen is my favorite Indian food! The curries are thick and flavorful but not too oily. I always get the chicken spinach curry, but the bhaigan eggplant curry is also very savory and delicious. The owner is very friendly and will talk freely with you, or respect your space.
The atmosphere is of a sports bar with many beers on tap, and even more refrigerated. The owner will adjust the TVs to your liking so this can be a positive. If you are open-minded about environments and not expecting fancy, the food is delicious, the service is quick, and the price is right.“

“Been to this local restaurant bar for about a year now and they m finally posting my review.
It is a Nepalese restaurant that offers traditional cuisine and also has a separate kitchen serving a Mississippi style cat fish.The food is really good all around. Try their MOMOS
It is family owned. The cook /owner is the father and the bartender is the son. Highly recommend this place for dining in or just stopping by to have a beer or a cocktail.They also do catering.“

“Suuuuper tasty Indian food! Ive only been there a few times, but every single thing has been amazing. The service is very fast and the staff is very nice. Theyre family friendly, and very clean! I highly recommend them to all of my friends/family“

“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.“

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

“Best In Bay area.“

“My dinner partner and I both agree that the physical atmosphere, and food were excellent. The place was almost empty on a Sunday night yet the service was mediocre. We had to keep tracking down the waiter for our hot water for the tea, box for take away, etc. Inattentive. The staff also seemed unhappy or dissatisfied with their jobs. The prices have gone up so don’t feel we got value for our money“

“Simple the best Indian / Nepalese food I have ever had period. +20 yrs in the Bay and we are blessed with so many great options - but this place takes the cake. Service was also stellar. It is now my go-to for Indian food. Garlic Naan, Saag Paneer and Tandoori Chicken fantastic.“

“Dallas has some amazing food, and I've tried a lot of dishes, but I have to give a special shoutout to the naan! It was truly one of the best I've ever had in the USA. The quality was so good, I ended up eating several pieces just because of the incredible taste and texture. I highly recommend everyone try the naan!“

“Wonderful food on a comfortable patio with very friendly staff. Thumbs up 👍🏾“

“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.“

“It was the only Indian restaurant with an all day buffet or AYCE and on a Sunday that at least I could find in the Bay Area and for a reasonable price: under $25 including garlic naan (& tax.) I expected extra dishes but the dishes that were there were very tasty and filling. The hostess/server was very friendly. I was in love with the decor and the atmosphere was great with light music and a cosy feeling. Overall it’s a place I see myself going again.“

“Wonderful authentic Indian cuisine served by a fine group of people.“

“Recently moved to the area, been searching for a spot that made a good chicken tikka masala and this place knocks it out of the park! Seriously so good. Good portion, good sauce, if you don’t like spicy order the mild. I ordered medium and it’s a bit spicy! Cant complain, just a heads up. The butter naan is soooo good, really ties it all together. Wish it was a fragrant white rice but can’t go wrong with plain white rice as a base. Highly recommend this spot for chicken tikka masala!!!“

“My dosa was good. Although I was surprised at the small amount filling inside. But overall I was happy with the food. Note, they don't sell beer or wine yet, but they're cool about letting you bring your own inside & no corkage fee. 👍“

“Wonderful downtown Benicia dining experience. Felt like we were back in India! Very good food and service.“

“100% recommend!! Pippal is one of our absolute favorite restaurants in the Bay! We've been regulars at Pippal since they opened, and it's one of those places we look forward to coming back to as often as possible.

Today we got to try their Mediterranean collaboration (available for the month of June), sharing the family-style meal alongside the Journey Through the Mediterranean platter. It was such a fun way to experience a different side of the kitchen. It was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. I hope they consider running this collaboration again in the future!

But if it's your first visit, we have to mention the dishes that made us fall in love with Pippal in the first place. Our standing order is usually the chicken momo, gangura chicken, vada pao sliders, butter chicken, and plenty of chili garlic naan to soak up every last bit of sauce.

What has kept us coming back all these years is the quality and consistency. Every visit, the food is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and always delicious! The cocktails are also consistently creative and yummy!

The service is always wonderful! Truly, that's a big part of why we keep coming back. The staff always make us feel welcome! And it's been a pleasure to get to know them too.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the whole experience is special enough for a celebration and comfortable enough for a more casual Friday night dinner. We love it! The location is great, and we often come here before or after going to the movies at the AMC or shopping at Tokyo Central, both of which are just a few steps away.“

“I have come here a couple times to take out Kulchas and Parathas. The quality is extremely good and breads are tasty and hot and cooked through. The pricing is very good and the service has always been very friendly. I have yet to try any of the food yet but plan to do so because the menu looks super interesting. Probably“

“Delicious food , best Momo in the Bay Area“

“Food is good, potential to be great but currently it is extremely greasy and oily (especially the aloo gobhi and baingan bharta). Still, I recommend the spice roasted pineapple, a creative dish. Very comfortable, nice atmosphere and place to sit, and great service.“

“Yesterday I had the pleasure of walking into this family owned establishment, The environment was clean, and the people were very kind. The menu was exceptional with great prices. I got the chicken Marcella, the naan, and the salmon which was the daily special. The chicken Masala was perfectly spiced. I got the mild because I can't eat spicy food. I dipped the naan in it and it tasted perfect. The naan was big and fresh and its own separate bag, so I was able to take it home and munch on it later now the salmon was delicious. It was super crispy and juicy on the inside, and the seasoning was complementary to the fish. it was wonderful to be able to talk to the Chef and get to know the people that cooked my food. The chef that's been working there. He's on the establishment for a while and he's been cooking for over 40 years. He also told me that he is from New York, which definitely shows in his food because this Indian Pakistani restaurant is definitely authentic. I will drive an hour and a half to come back here again. Definitely would recommend them for Catering or a nice dinner date.“

“Pizza was fantastic as well as the custom garlic bread pizza. Food is almost as good as the staffs friendliness and customer service.“

“THE BEST! delicious, sophisticated Indian food with burst of flavors in every bite. This is my one and only go to spot in the east bay. The owners are kind and genuine people who knows how to cook with high quality foods! They are super conscious of the ingredients used making it a truly authentic experience everything i order. My taste buds thank you munch india!“

“Lovely, fresh, cheerful, simple, spotlessly clean, inexpensive South Indian spot on Telegraph. I tried the Idli Vada Combo with sambar and coconut chutney, and a cup of chai. The sambar was nice and everything was so fresh! The vada was extra light and crunchy. I'll be back for the thayirsadam when I'm a bit hungrier! Check it out!“

“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“

“Marigold has become my go to Indian spot in Temescal! The owner is an incredibly kind and welcoming woman who always takes good care of her customers. I have been obsessed with the Madras Chicken in particular. They also have a great lunch special with rice, naan, and choice of two entrees for an unbeatable price.“

“Ajanta offers a lovely dining experience, perfect for a special occasion. Good food elegantly presented, fine service, and a very pretty dining room. This is the kind of restaurant that seems to be disappearing, and I, for one, am excited that I can still enjoy a white tablecloth meal with friends and family close to my home.“

“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“

“5/5 no doubt, the food is so good! I had butter chicken with mint rice. Came in large portion, the chicken was tender and flavorful, could taste the layering of flavor and texture, very impressive! I especially like their rice, cooked just right.“

“Excellent food good and fast service.“

“Cozy dim lit environment with authentic flavor. The cuisine is always on the richer side when it comes to flavor. The authenticity is worthy of elevated attention and the taste deserves to be experienced. My go to is the tandoori chicken, always seasoned to perfection. The lentil soup is my wife’s favorite and even I cannot refuse a bowl. Overall the service and food is top notch. Hospitality and flavors galore.“

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

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was absolutely delicious — a flavor that words can’t fully describe. The naan was excellent, and the Mango Lassi paired perfectly with my lunch. The portions were generous. I planned to take photos, but the food looked and smelled so good that I forgot. Overall, I highly recommend Konarq.“

“Excellent experience the food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. Every dish was prepared perfectly, and the portions were generous. The staff were warm, friendly, and provided outstanding service. The restaurant had a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Kabana Restaurant to anyone looking for amazing Pakistani cuisine.I will definitely be coming back“

“Really great food with a somewhat open kitchen and three small television screens playing news and sports. They have many pods from chicken biryani to paneer wraps with fries, a personal favorite of mine is the fried veg momo, another one being the paneer tikka masala with rice. The place may be small, but without doubt, I would eat this all three meals of the day and for a snack. Thank you.“

“Our kids really wanna try food here as they have seen the menu and pictures. Finally we manage to go on her birthday to celebrate with family and friends . We had Mango lassi, pani puri , samosa, chicken Momo, Briyani, paneer lababda, muglai chicken, butter naan, butter chicken,jeera rice ,Chicken Briyani, tres lache cake and lal Mohan with ice cream .

I bet you won’t regret.“

“Always delicious Indian food! My family and I always come here when we are in the neighborhood. Maude and Rosemarie are very gracious hosts. I highly recommend this restaurant seven days a week. :)“

“We stopped by East Bay Spices while we were at a concert at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, and we’re so glad we did. The cocktails were amazing, and the food was delicious. I tried the paneer tacos and my wife had the empanada — we both really enjoyed everything.

The staff was very friendly, and even though the food took a little longer than expected, the quality was absolutely worth it. Special thanks to the bartender and the whole team for the great experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I have been enjoying Mehak for over a year now. Since moving to the east bay I hadn't found an Indian restaurant in my area that makes butter chicken/chicken Mehkani the way I learned to love it until Mehak. This is my favorite dish and theirs is fantastic. We also enjoy the saag paneer and chana masala. The naan is delicious and such a good value that the curry comes with the rice.

Also have tried the mango lassi and kheer and enjoyed both! Best kheer I'd had in ages.

Will continue to come back.

Found through tgtg and go about once a month.“

“Words cand describe how delicious this food was! Not my first time either! 10 out of 10 for me! VERY FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE STAFF! Make you feel so comfortable OMG IM DEFINITELY GOING BACK! 🤤🤤🤤🤤♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“Very nice little Indian restaurant close to work. I've always enjoyed the dishes I've tried here great authentic taste and flavor. I especially love their aloo paratha and chicken tikka masala. My only issue is that they are not consistent with their timings. They say they open at 12 noon, but sometimes they are closed or not even open by 12:30.“

“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.“
