    Daal Soup
    Kimberly B.

    I stopped in here the other night because it was one of the few restaurants still open on Solano. I'd heard good things about EK, and this was my first visit. I ordered the Nimki Chaat because I'd seen it mentioned several times in reviews. It was a fun, tasty starter--too much for one person, but I'd definitely order it again with a group. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken tandoori tiki kebab. The chicken was high quality, flavorful, and didn't have that red dye you see in so much tandoori chicken. I ordered it medium spicy, but it wasn't really spicy at all. Still, it was very good. I'm more of a curry person, though, because I love having sauce to dip my naan in and enjoy with rice. The dish came with a small green salad, raita, and rice. I also ordered the garlic naan, which was really, really good--thin, crispy, and pillowy all at once. I couldn't taste a lot of garlic, but I never really can at any Indian restaurant. Before my meal arrived, I was served a cup of dal soup, which was quite nice. I usually find lentil soup watery and boring, but this one was flavorful and satisfying. I look forward to going back and trying a curry dish and the momo.

    Big ole Veg Samosa

    Beautiful restaurant. Totally matched the vibe I'm most currently matching with- moody floral. Dark blue hues against rich brown wooden chairs- I thought it to be gorgeous. For small plates, I ordered samosas, pani puri, and veggie fritters. Loved it all especially the pani puri- crispy shells with chickpeas in them. Yumm! For entree we ordered chicken tikka masala with plain naan and white rice. My son won't eat the garlic naan which I would have preferred. The samosas were good except they were big so one was good for me. I didnt realize their size until it came to our table. One order was two large samosas. Oops. Tikka masala was good but I found it to be more stewy than thick, which is my preference. I like to eat masala with naan and this is when I wished I ordered garlic naan, but I didn't want to over- order. Overall, I'm definitely returning. Place was yummy and the vibe is beautiful and friendly.

    The servers and service here is lovely! They're so patient and friendly! This was my first time here and was seated right away for dinner on a weekday. There was a HAPPY HOUR FOOD menu and we took advantage of that and ordered the Momo's (dumplings) and the ribs, and both were delicious!! We got the butter chicken with rice and it was creamy and delicious !! The restaurant has plenty of open space and restrooms were pretty clean. The hard part was parking as street parking isn't so easy around here and there's no lot. Storefront parking could also be difficult during busy hours as it is a busy street. I'd definitely come back for the food and service!!

    This restaurant is quite spacious once you enter. We received complimentary lentil soup! The steamed momos were alright. If you dip them in the sauce they really tasted better. The chicken chow mein was a bit different from Chinese style but I did thoroughly enjoy it......really full of color. The chicken tikka masala wasn't bad. They use chicken breast. I prefer thighs but perhaps the breast is more traditional. The pharsi chana is reminded me of a vegetarian curry but was pleasantly surprised by the taste. The garlic naan was good. Service was fine. It's interesting how Nepali / Indian food can differ from restaurants. This place is worth revisiting.

    This is my go to place for a good meal and great service. I took my mom for lunch and the food is really good as usual and the place is always clean. We tried the lemon ginger tea and it was really good! We love the garlic naan. Yummy. Thank you Everest kitchen for keeping good quality and delicious food!

    Chicken Momos

    Cute space, delicious food, and friendly service. If that wasn't enough, they also have a great happy hour with both food and drink specials! We liked everything we tried.

    Been to this place at least three times now and it's great! In a lovely neighborhood with decent parking, and convenient enough for my friend and I to always be able to meet up. Something I always like to start off with on their menu is their hot chai tea. It's hot and creamy with just the right amount of warm spices on a cold day in the winter. It also wakes me right up. Everything that we've ordered has been delicious, esp. the nimki chaat, dal, and spicy tofu. Their papad is also tasty and great for snacking if you're not too hungry. The service is always great, whether they are busy or not. Food always comes out promptly and they always check upon us to make sure everything is alright. I've spent hours at this place catching up with my friend, even after we're done eating, and they've never hinted at us to leave :) Highly recommend if you're looking for a cozy spot with amazing food and great staff.

    Garlic Naan
    Alex C.

    While searching Yelp for a new restaurant to try out, my wife discovered Everest Kitchen on Solano. One of our other favorite Himalayan/Nepalese restaurants is also located on Solano, so we were eager to see if Everest would be comparable. Upon walking in, the establishment is quite modern, spacious, and has capacity for quite a few tables. The handful of times that we've been here however, we've yet to see it at max capacity. They also have a bar for additional seating options. One of our favorite things here so far is the Garlic Naan. Everest does an amazing job of making naan that is light, fluffy, and crispy. Do NOT make the mistake of coming to Everest and not ordering the garlic naan! On a flip note, we were not as big of a fan of the wheat naan. Other favorites include: Butter Chicken (Creamy Curry): A moist, delicious chicken thigh simmered in a creamy onion and tomato-based sauce. Served with a side of rice. Salon Tikka Masala (Creamy Curry) Service here is extremely friendly and very consistent. They'll always make sure to stop by your table to check on your meal and if they need to clear any plates. And they'll help you box up any leftovers you may have at the end as well. Parking is available for free at the street level. It gets pretty busy on Solano, so I recommend the side streets if you can't find parking directly on Solano itself.

    Veg Samosa
    Duha S.

    We got the veg samosa to go. It was almost 9$ for two samosas. While the samosas looked fresh and homemade, they lacked flavor. The inside was mainly mashed. The sauces (mint and tamarind) also severely lacked flavor. Even salt would have been nice. For the mint it felt like I was just adding water to my samosa. The samosas are 2-3$ more expensive than nearby stores so I suggest you get them there. We got these to go but the store was very beautiful in the inside and the staff was kind.

    Garlic Naan
    Terence T.

    Quite empty when we walked in but the treat we were about to get was amazing! Service was very friendly yet not in your face, I like that Started with Samosa Chaat which had a great mix of flavours and textures. For three people this was a great starter. We got garlic naans for our two curries and their flavour and texture was banging, perfect mix of form vs buckling under the curry sauces, regardless of your choice of hands or cutlery, a solid pick And that's not even the curries! The saag paneer was made with a wonderful thickness, and also was not overloaded with cheese so a great balance. The Goat curry was CRAZY. The only downside for me was that it was not as thick as I would have liked, closer to consistency of water. We got spicy level for both of these and I can take spice. Only the goat curry has a noticeable spice level, both very manageable. I WILL be back, super solid and more on the menu to try!

    Veg Samosa

    This place is amazing! This was my first time here I can't recommend it enough. I would highly recommend the Samosas, Butter Chicken, and Mango Laasi. The service and atmosphere were great and I would definitely eat here again!

    Vegetable Chowmein
    Sandra T.

    Came here for happy hour and it did not disappoint! I favor a vegan diet and they had numerous options. The staff were friendly, professional, attentive. The place is clean and modern. I enjoyed the music ( contemporary jazz cover band music) the food was delicious and offered my preferred medium heat. I would highly recommend this place if you like Napoli/Indian food. This would be a cute place for date night.

    Chili chicken momo, delicious.

    A true hidden gem right at the bottom of Solano Ave in Albany!…read more I'm embarrassed to admit that Picnic has been around for about 5 years in the east bay and I've just tried it for the first time this week. But I'm so glad I was finally introduced to it. The staff greet you promptly when you enter and you can even watch them work effortlessly together in the open prep-station behind the counter. They have a gorgeous display of deli items, wines, cheeses, cold sides, and even some cute candles & house made croutons. They've got everything you would need for an elevated picnic or even a barbecue with the family. They have an intriguing selection of house made sausages-- the Chicken Tikka Masala sausage caught my eye and I can't wait to try it. They also sell whole smoked quail that are seasoned heavily yet each bite has just the right amount of smokiness, spices, and salt. Their hot food items and sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch during your break from work or on your way home. There are also a few counter seats if you want to enjoy your meal there. So far I've tried the smoked quail, the Muffaletta sandwich, and their green lentil soup with chicken + veg. The sandwich was filled to the brim and each bite was a flavor bomb. The lentil soup was very comforting & paired well with the smoked quail. I'm looking forward to trying everything they have to offer.

    I really wanted to love this place. Very small and quirky, limited menu. I'm not really a "salad is…read morea meal" person, although my two best friends are. They were very happy with their arugula salads. I ordered the mac n cheese which was okay. Even though I grew up in El Cerrito, I sometimes feel like my NorCal green card has expired. I've lost touch with my small batch, organic self. (Although I have never liked arugula) This store is adorable and just the kind of independent neighborhood place that should be frequented and appreciated. Unfortunately I also had to use the bathroom and they don't have one for customers. So they recommended walking a block away to the BevMo. So I guess that added some negative feelings.

    All the things I could say…read more.. We love this spot, and it has become our go to when visiting the area (though I do also LOVE Zachary's). Most recently, we dropped in before going to a show at the Ivy Room (another favorite). We got there early so we we could enjoy a leisurely meal. We were e seated in the bar, which worked well as we had great service and I personally like the higher bar tables. We tried the mezzo plate, kofta, a fantastic halumi salad, and the phyllo chicken pie. Everything we had was delicious! Cocktails and wine options were also outstanding. We finished with halva topped scoop of ice cream and delightful coffee! Great spot? Great food! Great service! We love this place!

The fresh-squeezed mint lemonade was really good, especially for $5. The Arabian Nights cocktail was just okay, so I'd skip the alcohol next time. Of the four entrees we tried, the Maklouba (lamb) was the favorite overall. I personally loved the chicken kabob. The chicken couscous was also very good. The Samakeh (fish) was our least favorite--pretty bland and not very memorable. One thing I noticed was that the carb-to-protein portion felt a bit heavy. We had at least 1/3 of the rice/couscous left over, while all the protein was gone. Overall, a solid meal. I'd definitely come back for the Maklouba and chicken kabob!

I recommend going on a Sunday so the 90 minute street parking doesn't apply. We were easily able to get a table for four without reservation. But it was inside. Most people were sitting out on the patio. The back patio is such a cute vibe. It's like a lush garden with mature trees and shade and string lights. I wish they had a separate entrance for it though. I saw a couple people walking their dogs through the restaurant to get to the patio. The market actually has a pretty big selection of items! They even have several large refrigerators. I've never seen so many types of ramen outside a 99 Ranch. We ordered the palace rice cakes, beef cold noodles, spicy tofu, both fried chicken appetizers, and the jang pasta, and drinks. They have a nice selection of drinks that I haven't seen commonly offered at other Korean restaurants before like several types of Korean tea. Everything was delicious! My personal favorites were the jang pasta, palace rice cakes, and the cold noodles. The noodles were perfect to help cleanse the palate from the heavier and spicy menu items. Ur was tasty even without the vinegar. They were very generous with the amount of beef in the rice cakes. It was more beef than rice cake! The cost wasn't bad either. For four people it came out to $145 before tip. The only other suggestion I have is they install an air curtain or mesh curtains to help keep flies out. I really enjoyed Korean Superette and want to go back and hopefully get some groceries too!
