Himalayan Bite

Delicious momos! There are some great Himalayan spots near campus but this might be my new fave. I got my chicken momos made “chilli” which was fantastic— fried, then sauced up with generous aromatics, onions, bell peppers, sweet with a kick but not too spicy at all. Mango lassi was lovely as well. Telegraph storefronts can be crowded but this one is spacious with clean bathrooms and wifi provided. The staff are also super nice (they went out of their way to check if I’d need ice, etc) & clearly take pride in providing excellent food! Hope this business flourishes :)

Hands the best veg soup I ever had in 44 years! Vegetable biryani was good too. A must try! They also serve halal meat. Very good customer service and in a good neighborhood.

We ordered the Vegetarian soup. Lovely clear broth, vegetables, Vegetable biryani with channa, cauliflower, potato and broccoli with rice. Perfect on a winter's day! Great friendly service!!

My brother and I shared a delicious meal. Place very popular and busy, but great staff worked hard to serve food as quickly as possible! Normally, I do not leave a review. But we were served by Prasansh, very kind and helpful young lady. Watched her stay focused and be polite. Even with rude customer, still offered amazing customer service! We had Butter Chicken, Fish Tiki Masala, and Lamb Curry. 10/10 for all. Would recommend Garlic Naan; fresh, crunchy, warm and flavorful. I have ordered DoorDash before and every time good as well, but especially nice to dine inside for first time. Thank you!!!

I had an amazing experience at Himalayan Bits in Berkeley! The food was flavorful, fresh, and absolutely delicious. What truly set them apart was their willingness to go above and beyond for their customers. Even though aloo gobi wasn’t on the menu, they made it for me to accommodate my request, and it was perfect—just the right balance of spices and tenderness. The staff was kind and attentive, making me feel genuinely welcomed. If you’re looking for a spot with great food and even better service, I highly recommend giving them a try!

From the moment I walked in I was expecting a great meal. And they exceeded my expectations. You'll be greated with the aromas and the sight of a busy kitchen, and a smile from Sam. The chicken bento box had tender chunks of chicken with just enough rich sauce and just the right spice. It came with rice and spicy noodles and beautifully fried cauliflower. And then there was the the Lamb Korma. Spectacular! So rich and out of this world layers of flavor. Sam checked to make sure we had everything we needed and the chef even came out to ask if we were happy with everything. It's a small place, comfortable, and I always like when I can see into the kitchen.

Butter chicken with garlic naan and rice is my favorite food ever. I have been on a never ending quest to find the best in my area. I’ve tried many places in Berkeley, and this is by far my favorite!! This will be my new go to restaurant! I was not prepared for how massive the naan was, but I loved it 😆

Himalayan Bite is a new, reliable go-to for us! My god, the KALE CHAAT! An *inspired*dish! I now crave it! The naans are bliss for this carb-addict. I’ll be working my way through their many menu offerings but I can’t bring myself to not order the kale chaat and a naan. And chai. We came to Himalayan Bite by chance. Noodle Dynasty had just closed for the evening. Wondering where to go as we walked, just a couple doors north was Himalayan Bite. It was rather empty but it was open and we were hungry! (The sign in the window stating that they also serve Jain food was a positive bias for me.) The cherry on too: the guys working there - so welcoming. They make it clear that they want your experience to be a good one.

Great vibe. Great service. Just opened a new dental office around the corner. This is now my new goto place for quick quality food.

Had some curry and naan. Both were amazing and the staff were super personable. I tend to rate lower than most people, so I really mean it when this place is worth five stars

The chicken tikka masala was good, wish there was more chicken in it but the portion was still good, I was just hungry. The garlic naan is also really good and comes in this really big form which I’ve never seen before.

Friendly service, delicious ramen with a soup thats a bit thicker kind of like sweet and sour soup, and al dente noodles. I asked for very spicy and what i was served was pleasant in heat and rich in flavor

Just GO!! I travel constantly and Himalyan Bite is AMAZING!! Food: Broad selection. Great depth of flavor. Authentic. For those who can't handle heat you can get it mild. Service: Fast and clean. Helpful too if you can't decide.

I had a wonderful experience here today! Recently I’ve developed a severe food allergy to wheat, gluten, garlic and onion, I just assume I can’t eat when I go out with friends most places. Kismat checked in with his chef and found me a delicious opinion. Went above and beyond to ensure I was well fed.

Absolutely love the food here! I ordered cheese naan with chicken curry and it was so delicious. The naan was chewy and definitely cheesy. The staff are also very nice. Definitely recommend!

This place has really tasty food! Prasanna is the man, he gave us great recommendations. The curry all tastes very homemade and the Naan is fluffy and has great texture. They were open late for us on Xmas which was such a relief. Thank you!

Love this place. The student BOGO free lunch special is such a lifesaver, and the food is delicious, too! Service is great, but food does take some time, so prepare for that.

Food was delicious, and it is one of the rare places in the Bay area that serves free rice with the curry. The staff is also great and really helpful. Totally would recommend it!

Importantly, this place gave me terrible food poisoning for ~2 days. Don't eat here for food safety reasons. Also it was bad! Tasted like they used a cheap hot and sour soup mix for the noodle soup and canned tomato sauce for the momos. When I tried to leave this review several weeks ago, Google had frozen the reviews function for this place because of suspicious high reviews lol. Make of that what you will!
