We dined in for lunch and also ordered 100 frozen dumplings a day in advance to pick up after our meal. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such kindness—our server offered great advice on the menu and even helped us figure out how to taste two different dishes and dumplings without overordering.

The meal was absolutely delicious, with beautifully balanced, bright flavors that lingered long after we finished. The neighborhood may be going through a rough patch, but once you step inside, the outside world fades away. It’s a warm, inviting spot that’s clearly run with care and pride.

Excellent vegan option; the momo dumplings are light and complex in flavor. Excellent rice and lentils; A+ service.

I’m not used to the price for what I got. It was good, I finished what I ordered, it was just very expensive compared with Midwest pricing.

The Indian/ Himalayan food here is absolutely excellent, though you do have to brave the wilds of 6th Street. The restaurant itself is clean and pleasant.

I FREAKING LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH! as a critical vegan living in sf, this is hands down one (might even be my current fav) place for food in sf! the vegan momos are sooo good especially with the sauce they give me! i get it at least a couple times a month (always order it on grubhub or get it at the ferry building farmers market). there aren’t many things i love but this … I LOVE.

This place is such a gem in SoMa! All the food is really good, but their momos are especially delicious and addictive, and I love the sauce they come with too. And mango lassi - so creamy and refreshing! The nicest people work here, visiting Bini's Kitchen always makes my day.

Great, affordable food made by nice folks. For a relatively simple restaurant, the hospitality is great and the food is just delicious with big portions. The food is well packaged for take-away and delivery. I wish they were open later. I live in the neighborhood and I'm usually there once or twice a week.

The cauliflower (Kauli Aloo Kerau) and rice, chickpeas and beans all so tasty, with delicious veggie momos and a crazy good tomato and cilantro sauce ?
The owners are so kind and welcoming, and I loved learning about their inspiring story :)
Great atmosphere and lovely wall to ceiling windows
Sunita and Bini run a great business and make delicious food

I had combo and it’s so bad. Going in dustbin.
Rice is uncooked
Momos are tasteless. Chicken has no flavour.
Please dont trust 4.8 rating on google.

Chicken and pork was tender and well-seasoned, the momo dumplings were particularly delicious. Highly recommend, the staff was polite and dining area was clean.

Hallmark of a small business that takes pride in itself, is an owner who, after closing, will still let you in, and serve and cook a meal for you since you came by. Bini’s dedication to her customers shows. I came rather late at closing time and they were already cleaned up, ready to go, but they still opened up and made my order…talk about great service!! .I got the gurkha cchicken and chicken momos, and it was delicious!! The momos are new to me, never heard of it until I looked up this restaurant - they were scrumptious and kind of like xiao long baos, but with this out of the world orange sauce that if I didn’t know better can become the new addiction problem for SF. The gurkha chicken was equally tasty with huge chunks of meat and amazing sauce served over plenty of rice.Do yourself a favor and visit if you haven’t. Price point is fair too. Can’t wait to go back and try the other items on menu.
