Momo Masalas

Stopped by after evening class for dinner on a cold rainy night with a friend because that butter chicken display looked tooo good to be true. The waitress was very friendly and welcoming, warmly walking us through some of the restaurant's bestsellers through small conversation. We both ended up getting the butter chicken anyway ($20), and *wow,* the actual dish ended up being even more delicious than expected. As pictured, it comes with a generous side of rice and a little bit of potato, which complements the sweet and buttery chicken perfectly. The sauce is the soul of the dish, and it was so good I ended up taking the sauce home despite finishing the chicken and rice, because I wanted to savor every last drop of it! If I'm ever in the area again, I definitely want to go back for another meal; Momo Masalas left a really great impression on me.

The service was great when I came here! The woman at the counter was friendly and was quick to offer her opinions on what I should get, but I stuck to my go-to order: Chicken Tikka Masala. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and homey. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their plate.Personally, I was not impressed. Not only did the dish seem bland in look, as it was an undersaturated version of the Tikka Masala back home, but it was also lacking in the spices that would usually make this dish flavorful and outstanding. The heavy cream they poured on top also took away from any of the flavors that could have been taken away from the dish. All around, not a good dish and not worth the money spent. I'm sorry, but this place just made me incredibly homesick for the food I would buy back home!

Absolutely delicious food' the butter chicken was succulent, tender and soo soo flavorful! The chicken biryani Which we got mild thankfully) was wonderful and so fragrant when it came to the table. Lots of different flavors around chicken pieces and a handful of peanuts and chilis. Thank goodness for the mango lassi! Sweet, cool and creamy to save us from the spicy! The owner/person who took our order was as friendly and sweet S could be. Both dishes were cooked fresh and served piping hot!

Delicious vegetarian food and excellent hospitality. Loved the momos and noodles.Will be back again very soon!

Cute little mom and pop shop Indian/Napoli food place in the alley way across from subway. So good!! Chicken biryani 5/5 Chicken tikka masala 5/5Lamb platter 5/5Mango lassi 3/5 - it was good but not use to it. It's more yogurt based. Roti - this roti is diff from Indian roti/stone oven. Chicken mono with sauce - 3/5, it was good but didn't taste different than Chinese dumplings. The sauce is interesting though. Would definitely come back.

A Berkeley classic! So close to campus and usually not super full. This is definitely a local hack given how many bad restaurants there are near campus. I almost don't want to post this because im afraid it might draw too many customers and then I'll have to wait in longer lines! This is terrific Himalayan cuisine. The place is small but pleasant.

Nice ambiance and warm service.Food : we ordered johl chicken momos and steamed chicken momo, they were kinda bland but I'm glad I didn't taste that much msg. The momos are big in portion and hand wrapped. I appreciate the sauce and the light broth.I really like the menu and their interior. It gives a very cozy feelings. The owners are also super nice and caring. We will definitely come back to try more items!

Nice people who make great Himalayan food, especially the chicken biryani! Location is perfect for university students looking for a quick bite.

Easily one of the best restaurants in Berkeley. At no other place here have I woken up in the middle of the night craving their food. Great ambiance, some of the best service I have received at any restaurant. I'd you're in Berkeley it's a must!

Cozy little spot tucked away in North side Berkeley ran by the sweetest staff! The food is delicious and clearly made with love. The biryanis are a favorite with my household.
