Welcome to Taste of the Himalayas!
📍 Located in the heart of Berkeley at 1700 Shattuck Avenue, Taste of the Himalayas has been bringing the rich flavors of Nepal and India to the greater San Francisc…
Veg. Jhol Momo (8 Pieces) , Paneer Tikka Masala, and Vegetable Korma (Contains Dairy/nuts) were very tasty. Veg. Biryani was reason I ordered from this restaurant and it did not disappoint. Has a little kick. When I order again I'd get an extra side of raita. The side that came with the rice was quite small.

Lamb chops were completely pink on the inside and tasted raw. I had to spit it out immediately. It was also very chewy. And portion sizes were very small given the price (about $28 but portions were worth maybe $17-18; even that may be generous).
I will not be ordering from here again.

Daal Tadka is really good. Some might find it bland but spices really hit the spot. Samosa are spicy and delicious. Food is always hot and fresh. Never sour and I've ordered multiple times in the day. I'm very picky and vegetarian so I appreciate the quality. I wish there was more Daal Tadka but the portions overall are great to fill you up for several hours.

The chicken and dal were too watery and not creamy at all. The samosa and naan were soft and soggy. With all the other great Indian options in Berkeley, I was left wondering whether my $100 would have been better spent elsewhere.

The BIRYANI flavor in the DISH and The Basmati Rice were Okay were the potatoes in the dish as Requested !!!!!
However the lamb Meat was Very Tough !!!
The Goat Biryani option felt overpriced !!!
The Kheer / Rice Pudding was Tasty albeit a tad dry !!!
Not oversweet 4 sure.
The ordertaker on the Telephone when I had called with Queries / Requests was mysterious " Refuting vehemently to disclose his name !!!
A first 4 me !!!!
They may need to ": PIERCE " the Meat to absorb the SPICES and Marinate the Meat and Spice overnight to result in the Exact Yakhoni for Biryani !!!!!!
