“Absolutely delicious cuisines, lovely ambience, excellent customer service and friendly staff. 100% recommend!! ❤️“

“I was headed to the post office on 13th street when I noticed this kabab restaurant. I thought, I'll stop in on my way back. What a treat, I had the curry lamb with rice. I must say that it has to the best curry sauce that I have ever had. The flavors were bold and rich and the lamb was cooked to perfection. I will most definitely be going back!“

“Awesome to have a quick, clean, and tasty Indian restaurant in town. Pani puri, malai kofta, and garlic naan were all great. This is quick and easy North Indian fare. Service is exceptional and while busy, I didn’t have to wait for a table for 1. If you are looking for Indian food in Berkeley, this is a solid choice.“

“Best food in town. If you love Indian food then you should go and try their authentic Indian food. I am pretty much sure that you won’t be disappointed. I give them 5 out of 5.“

“This place has a lunch special that offers rice and naan, plus 2 kinds of entrees. I had the tikka masala and chicken vindaloo. The naan was nice and buttery and fluffy, no burnt or dryness to it, and both entrees were tasty. I had ordered ahead of time for pickup and it was ready right on time. I am giving the food 4 out of 5 stars because I would have liked both dishes to be spicy like I requested, especially the vindaloo (tikka masalas aren’t typically spicy so that’s ok!). I like my food to be pretty spicy though and they probably don’t want to overdo it for other folks. Overall good quality and portions for $17, the gentleman who helped me was quite nice and courteous, and I will be back :)“

“Bopping in to town to see Harry Mack at Fox Theater, we parked around the corner and wanted something to eat. I saw the phrase Indian Street Food on the window, mentioned it to Brian and it was immediately decided. I am stoked, because the food was delicious!! The tikka masala was great, mango chutney to die for, salsa with my rice (sooooo good, you have no idea!!), and if I wasn't on a diet I'd have the El Jefe burrito, which is a burrito made with naan!!! Check this place out if you're anywhere near one! I believe they have multiple locations.“

“AMAZING momos. The pani puri is FANTASTIC. it’s packaged perfectly so you can take it home and eat it. No problem. The chili chicken momos r my favorite. And always get pani puri. 10/10. Favorite spot in Oakland.

Vegetarian options: Half of the menu is vegetarian. Lots of vegetarian options. And the chicken is halal“
