Chicken Biryani
Ginger W.

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!

This was my first visit here to Momo Masala and being an avid lover of Momo I have high expectations and the flavors of all the food were perfect and beat my expectations by miles! The momo were fresh and so delicious as well as the chicken chow mein and the butter chicken. The owner asked me and my gf when we first walked in if we were vegetarian or meat eaters and I've never felt more validated as a customer! The flavors were on point and the veggies were fresh and the owner was explaining some menu items to us and I felt more knowledgeable about my choices after she had finished; the atmosphere is small but cozy and the owner works so hard every day to provide fresh and delicious food. If you are on the Euclid side of Cal Berkeley campus check out this establishment trust me you won't be disappointed! I will be coming back again in the near future, this has made my top 10 restaurants list.

Saag Paneer
Dari T.

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.

Mango Lassi
Jennifer P.

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 5/5 Lamb platter 5/5 Mango 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.

Paneer chili
Sydney J.

I decided to venture up to the north side of campus to give this place a try, and ordered in person at the restaurant (they are on Snackpass, though, if you want to order ahead for pickup). I got paneer chili because I'm a huge paneer fan, and then went to wait at some other benches because they had projected an 18 minute wait. But one of the workers (probably an owner) actually went looking for me since I didn't come back in a timely fashion, so I appreciated they actually went to extra effort to make sure I got my order. It does have real chilis which are actually way beyond my very sad level of spice tolerance, so that made it a bit harder to eat the parts that had chili seeds. There's also bell peppers and a large amount of white rice, though, and I did enjoy the flavoring and the paneer overall.

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!

Lamb curry
Kin L.

Great little spot right near Berkeley. Not a lot of places in these shoes open later on Saturdays. I went by around 6 and most places already closed. Very unassuming place with friendly staff. Only a few tables but you can use the ones in the common area outside. The lamb curry was delicious. If you ask nicely they may add a Nepalese pepper to your dish if you want it spicy. It's got a good kick but great flavor. Would definitely recommend

Pork chili
Jacob P.

Love momo Masalas! Have been many times and had to stop back once again when I was in the area. My favorite is the Jhol momo but the pork chili is always a fantastic option!

Biryani
Frank W.

The staff here is really friendly and caring, and if you're looking to grab a quick bite on Northside, Momo Masalas is as good of an option as any. The portions are generally huge. I usually don't go for rice dishes at restaurants, but their biryani is great - so flavorful!

a plate of masalas and rice
Heather S.

after attending classes, i found myself on north side wanting to explore what it had to offer in terms of the food scene. while looking around, momo masalas caught my eye because of the colorful and welcoming interior and delicious smelling food. the person taking my order was so sweet and had a motherly aura to her, asking me about what i wanted and answering all my questions. the store itself was quite small, but had plenty of seating to grab a quick bite! i definitely want to stop by again to try their momos, which i didn't get to do in this trip -- -- -- pictured: " butter chicken ($17.63) // when i first heard the price, i thought it was a bit steep, but understood the pricing once i received my meal. along with the extremely creamy and decadent butter chicken, they also gave a side of rice, aloo gobi (stir friend cauliflower and other veggies), and dal (spiced stew made of split peas/lentils). the butter chicken was super thick (slightly too thick for my liking) but extremely flavorful and yummy:) -- -- -- definitely give this place a shot if you're looking for quick bite of authentic nepalese and indian cuisine

Chicken momo and matar paneer with rice
Monika F.

This place is so freakin' good! The food is exquisite! The portions may seem small for the price, but it's super filling for both body and soul! Highly recommend the momos (dumplings) johl (served in a curry soup), which is usually what I get. I recently decided to venture away from the momos and got a matar paneer that was absolutely divine. Super excited to explore the rest of the menu! Super convenient if you're on the north/east side of UCBerkeley - one of my favorite lunch spots! Seating is limited, so you may have to wait or take your food to-go.

Momo Masalas definitively (and I do not say this lightly) has my hand in marriage. Nestled in a small, cozy corner of Northside Berkeley Campus, this restaurant has been singlehandedly airlifting me through my college education since I first happened upon it in Fall 2020. I am writing this review in hopes that some of you will come and give this small, family-owned restaurant some much-needed love because I have absolutely no complaints about this place. The customer service is amazing, and the owner Khendu and the rest of the staff have always been super friendly and welcoming to me and my friends whenever we stop by. The home-style Indian food is both affordable and delicious -- I've tried the samosas as well as the chicken/lamb curry but I have to recommend the chili paneer. The spices and seasoning were fantastic, and an excellent meal especially during the colder months (along with a warm cup of chai to go with it). Logistically the parking is relatively accommodating since there is street parking on both Hearst and Ridge Road, and it's super easy to hop in and out especially if you order to-go. I sincerely hope that more people are willing to give this place a shot because it's one of my best discoveries since coming to Berkeley.

This Momo sauce is so good!

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.

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.

Both my mom and I ordered lunch specials, and it seemed to be a good value. I especially enjoyed the naan and malai kofta and the salad was a nice side too. I was not a fan of the chana masala, as it seemed to lack flavor and the sauce was slightly watery. I opted for mild level of spice, since I was concerned the meal would be too spicy, but that was not the case. We also ordered some pappadum along with chicken momos to share, and it was an alright dish, although I did think the filling wasn't quite tasty. The sauce was a nice touch, and helped add a small burst of flavor and a mild kick. Customer service was great and attentive and the restaurant was nicely decorated with a cozy vibe. Overall, our meal was enjoyable and I am glad that there was an option to order lunch specials for weekend lunch. Although, I wished some items were more flavorful or spicy. I'd possibly return to try other items on the menu if I'm nearby or visiting campus. Seems like a pretty solid spot for Nepalese/Indian food!

I think I just discovered my favorite restaraunt of all time in Berkeley. Though the exterior of…read morethe restaraunt is unassuming, and the building itself is quite small with limited seating, the interior is still very clean and neat, and the workers are very nice. I placed an online order for the C Chicken Momos and the Garlic Cheese Naan, which were both phenomenal. The naan was some of the best I've ever had. It was so fluffy, thick, and pillowy soft, and was not overly charred/thin or too crispy like other naan. Just pure doughy goodness. There was also a perfect amount of cheese filling--enough that you got the subtle kick of milky acidity, but not too overpowering. The naan itself was also not too greasy, and the garlic flavor was very aromatic. You could also taste a hint of the slight tartness from (I'm assuming) the yogurt used to make the naan. The "C" Chicken Momos came with eight large pieces, which is definitely enough to fill you up. The sauce tasted like a classic sweet-and-sour sauce with a very mild and pleasant spice. Also, because the dumplings were fried, they were crispy despite being covered in sauce, but still had a bit of the nice chew you would get from a steamed momo skin. The fillings themselves were also super flavorful: you get a herbal and fresh taste from the ginger, which balanced the tanginess of the sauce so the meal did not feel too heavy, and the subtle nuttiness and pepperiness of cumin in each bite. The dumplings also had some warm broth in them, which is perfect for a cold day. The prices are fair too. You can often find small discounts on Snackpass or delivery apps like GrubHub. Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back. Totally recommend!
