“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.“

“Delicious food at a very good price. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“Best Indian cuisine in all of Berkeley, do yourself a favor and stop in! great people, great food, a real gem in the city.“

“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.“

“Best In Bay area.“

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

“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“

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

“We enjoyed daal makhani and veg korma with rice. All was delicious. But be forewarned, we asked for a spicy level between mild and medium, and we both found the spice heat level to be way above what would be considered medium at most every other place we've been to. Good food, but very spicy.“

“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.“

“Went there for lunch today and loved it! Surprised it wasn’t more packed, I’m writing a review so more people can know about it and enjoy it! It’s super cute inside, color and vibrant decor, would be great for a casual lunch or a cozy dinner date! Service is friendly and not fussy. I shared a bunch of different things with a friend and everything was super tasty. One of my faves was the Dahi Puri Chaat. Gotta come back to try the other things on the menu!

Oh and the naan is the thinner crispy kind and seemed freshly made!“

“We came across this place after watching movie in Richmond. They were having some program in their restaurant at that moment so there was not seating available but lady on front desk offered take out, And she also offered us chai on the house. We had veg chowmein and paneer chilly. And it was really good.“

“We have eaten here four times since Ginger took over the restaurant from the previous owners. The food is excellent — fresh and tasty, the menu offers lots of options, and the service and atmosphere are very nice. I highly recommend this restaurant highly.“

“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. 👍“

“Solid food, gorgeous ambience.

Came for a late dinner on a Wednesday evening and this place was packed! We were seated within 5 minutes of arriving at 8pm.

To start, we ordered the watermelon salad to share. The presntation was gorgeous and colorful, was a refreshing appetizer to get us started.

For beverages, I had a pour of the fieldworks Belgian and my friend had a mango lassi. Both beverages were served in bespoke glassware and were delicious.

For mains, we ordered the butter chicken and lamb curry (both medium spicy) to share, with a side of naan and two sides of rice. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, while the curry lamb had a nice balance of flavor and heat. Both were enhanced by the side of garlic naan.

Overall, a solid meal and nice ambience.“

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

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

“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“

“Delicious food , best Momo in the Bay Area“

“Hole in the wall with delicious food! Today we had saag with potatoes (medium spicy was SO tasty) and vegetable korma with vegetable dumplings and sesame naan. Big fan of the sesame naan! Our usual order is bindi (okra) and lamb vindaloo, and veggie samosas - all of which we consistently love. My husband also got the cumin-spiced lemonade but thought it was a bit salty.“

“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“

“Great food, lovely owners. The veggie platter was a great value for the price and everything was super flavorful and delicious. We walked in and ordered, the food came out in about 10 minutes. This is the only Indian takeout spot I need to go to now :)“

“Very fun atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating options, staff are very friendly and attentive, and the food was incredible!!! We tried one of their speciality dishes and it was our favorite item that we shared! Very highly recommend!!!“

“Two of our party (not me) had the chef's tasting menu. It was an amazing value--an incredible amount and variety of food, and they thought it was really high quality. I had a chicken curry that was delicious and satisfying. The staff were very nice but maybe a little overworked.“

“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“

“Overall: Easy Indian street-food style lunch!
My Order: Tandoori Chicken over rice.
Price Breakdown: I believe around $15 total more or less. Typical pricing.
Portions: Great portions and very filling for the price!
Halal/Vegetarian Friendly: Chicken is halal! And clearly marked vegetarian options.
Would get again: Likely, especially one of their daily specials.

Stopped by here to try out some Indian food in Berkeley, and this did not miss! I believe we visited this spot for lunch last year, and I clearly remember the food being incredibly fresh and SO hot. Each bite was packed with flavor, and the gravy was delicious! Will be back soon to hopefully try their other meals.“

“I’ve been coming to Kabana since 1999, and it continues to be one of my favorite spots. Over the years I must have eaten here at least 50 times, and the food has never disappointed. My go-to dishes are the aloo matar, chicken karahi, and the fish—all consistently flavorful and well prepared. It’s one of those places you can keep coming back to for decades and still enjoy just as much. Highly recommended“

“Great food and customer service too match!“

“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. :)“

“Deeeelish! My favorite thing here is the chicken tikka roll, the pratha is so good and it’s very saucy and the perfect amount of spice. I also got the garlic masala fries and samosa and a mango lassi, all very good. Also the folks who work at wrap and roll are the best, so friendly. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“East Bay Spice is a fantastic spot for anyone who loves bold, flavorful cuisine! Every dish is perfectly seasoned with authentic spices, creating a rich and satisfying experience. The menu offers a great variety, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. The staff are welcoming and attentive, making you feel right at home. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant—perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. Definitely a place you’ll want to come back to again and again!“

“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.“

“An excellent restaurant. As a South Indian, thayir sadam is a comfort dish you grow up eating, but rarely get outside the house. For a very affordable $10, I got a sizable portion of thayir sadam that took me back to my childhood days. I got thayir sadam (yogurt + rice) with paneer, pickle, cucumbers, carrots, and spiced peanuts, and it was INCREDIBLY refreshing and tasty. I spoke with the owner as well, and he is a very nice gentleman. Highly recommend this restaurant for those who love thayir sadam, and those who have yet to try this South Indian staple!“

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

“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! 🤤🤤🤤🤤♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“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.“

“Good food, I always like to eat over here because food are soo good and tasty, momo is best and chowmein too“

“Excellent food good and fast service.“

“The chicken 65 was very delicious but a little mild. Also, the rice mixed in with the chicken tikka masala sauce was very decadent because it reminded me of tomato rice. This was my first time trying this place and I hope to come back again someday.😋“

“Love it thank you My kids love the chicken tika masala and the mango lassi“

“This is a cozy little spot with great food! I got fish kadai, and my partner got a shrimp wrap. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I also highly recommend the mango lassi, which is so thick it's almost like a milkshake and not watery at all like some places.
Literally my only complaint is that the chairs are uncomfortable and the tables are small, but bigger tables wouldn't fit in the restaurant. You can get comfier chairs though!!!“

“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.“

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