I wish they gave first responder and military discount discounts, But to each his own. And of course, the food is good. I've had the butter, chicken, and the chicken tiki masala.

Jan 16 2026 3.9 stars…read more Normally we will drive from Crockett to Dublin for Indian food. A long drive since we often hit commute trafic on the way home. Shalimar's Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken and their rice. Shalimar is a bit holee-in-the- wallee but their food is delicious. Today we decided to give Paradise a chance and save some driving miles and time.. First impression. The glass entrance door could use some windex and tape removed. Sprucing up. Looking good. Maybe this place IS Just Like Shalimar but without the drive. Inside the place looks spacious and clean with the exception of two pieces of litter near a band stage that keep screaming to be picked up. As we were not greeted when we arrived, we walked across the restaurant to interupt the cashier\waiter''s conversation he is engaged in. We are told we should take our menus he hands us to the table of our choosing and that he will be our waiter. The Waiter\Cashier is charming and attentive on every interaction we have with him after this. After about 30 minutes our Tandoori Chicken arrives sizzling and steaming on a heated metal plate. A nice touch. That heated metal plate kept the chicken hot the entire meal. The size of the Tandoori order was smaller than we are used to but I'm still happy I'm not driving to Dublin. My wife complains that the chicken tastes "old" as if it was precooked and then reheated. The other items arrived. We both loved the Tikka Masala , Rice and Garlic Naan. And enjoyed skipping the round trip to Dublin. We wanted to order more rice but the Waiter/Cashier was being bum rushed with what looked like to-go orders and I didn't want to wait in line to ask for rice. Our meal is almost finished and the Waiter/Cashier stops by to ask how things are. We mention the rice story and he immediately offers an order of rice and Tikka Masala gravy. Turns out it was the rice With Chicken in the gravy. Nice one Sir. Wife and I both agree that we will stop by for Tikka Masala but will be driving to Dublin for Tandori Chicken. Take note that there may be an automatically applied service charge added to your bill regardless of your party size. We got one for a party of two. Also the toilet bowl in the first of two variable sex restrooms that you come to is not totally secured to the floor.

My friend from El Cerrito has been coming here for years and took me to eat dinner here but now a new owner has expanded the restaurant space and upgraded the ambiance. The owner greeted us and the service was top tier, friendly, fast and provided all that we asked for, which of course included some mango chutney. My friend had the Pakora dish with chickpeas and was very tasty and fresh. I had the chicken tandoori which has a Smokey tang to them and the jasmine rice and sauces were all excellent. My chicken was moist and juicy and came out steaming on a hot platter. The serving sizes were generous and the price was very reasonable. The owner offered some tasting of Free Kittens beer and it was also delicious and we ordered some. The beer selection is second to none and had my favorite oatmeal stout ! It was quiet and seating was comfortable. I had leftovers as there was so much to eat despite being hungry from moving furniture all day.

I had a craving for goat so I ordered the goat curry (medium spice) and my wife ordered the chicken korma. The goat was so tender and flavorful and they gave so much meat that I actually had leftovers (which almost never happens)! Also, just a tip: that medium spiciness has a kick! We also ordered the Nepalese chicken momo dumplings which were also very good. We ended the meal with my favorite Indian dessert, gulab jamun. They were swimming in sweet syrup and I enjoyed every bite! Great food and amazing service!

It's small outlet with about three tables (seating about 15-ish?). We walked up to the counter and placed an order for the Chaat (paapdi) and Samosa chaat. The paapdi chaat was pretty decent with the crunchy namkeen discs holding up layers of diced potatoes, masala, yogurt, sweet chutney, and chickpeas. Personally, I preferred the samosa chaat. The samosas stayed crispy inspite of the layers of chutney and warm channa masala heaped on top. All in all both the dishes were pretty nice. The confusing part is the paucity of chaat items on the menu. The establishment literally has "chaat" in it's name but you will find only three items under the "Chaat" subsection of the menu; the menu was dominated by lunch/dinner items. I did spy an "Aloo tikki" dish in the menu, I do wonder if it's served as an appetizer instead of as a "chaat". I wish them well and hope they get better with time, and hopefully with more chaat items on the menu.

The owner is one of the friendliest guys you will ever meet. He is talkative, welcoming, upbeat, and very friendly!

Welp, I came in again finally. Last time I was in here was 2023 (I left up my last review so you…read morecould see I was a fan of this place). Had a lot of beers left over from before Covid so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I've been trying to come back here for the last 4 weeks. Came by 4 times. The first three times it was closed - during open hours. The first time they had a sign "family emergency" which is understandable. The last two times I came by during open hours and they were just closed. Not acceptable. I'm guessing other people who kept coming by during open hours only to find them close will not come back again. Today, October 31, 2025 was going to be the last time - if they were closed again I would not come back. They were open. I went in and looked at the beers. There's a lot of really dirty bottles in the fridge. I pulled a Knee Deep out and looked at the date. It said 2015. I thought maybe it was so dirty I wasn't reading it right. Pulled out another one. 2015. Pulled out some other bottles. More from 2015 and 2016. We're in 2025. This is not a typo or a gag. He's selling beers from 2015. And he's selling this at full price. 7 bucks a pop. IPAs have a shelf life. Imagine getting a bottle of Knee Deep Citra home that you paid 7 bucks for and getting the tasteless, flat, bad water you're going to have with a ten year old bottle of beer. Kept looking. Found one 4 pack that was from May of this year - that was it. That was the only one I could find of the beers I looked at that was semi-recent. Some of the stuff had no date - knowing they sell decade old beer I would not buy any of it. Then I found one four pack that was from 2014. 2014. Eleven years ago. This is not a typo. He sells beer from 2014 in 2025 as fresh, full priced beer. IPAs. Never again. This is a place called "BOTTLES" who's main deal is his craft beer. And he's selling decade old beer at full price (shouldn't be selling decade old beer at any price). I used to be a big fan of this place - now I just want to warn people - if you go here for beer - look at the dates. And if you get a chance, sort the reviews here on yelp for Bottles by stars and look at the other one star reviews. All the one star reviews are the same as mine - complaining about old beer. But these are all from 2019 and before. So this guy was doing it back then - and the beers I'm seeing here today are probably the same beers these people back in 2019, 2018, 2017 were complaining about - still in the freezer. I give Bevmo crap for selling year old beer. Imagine selling 11 year old beer at full price. Unethical and incredibly bad business. Never again.

There is a ton of decently priced beans, spices, some fresh produce, imported Indian products- even the spicy pickled mango my partner loves! Looks like the place is family-owned and the lady working there was helpful in pointing me to the right direction for spices. Definitely coming back to get more Indian products, try Punjabi Kitchen, and taste the variety of beers at the bar!

I love trying little hole in the wall type restaurants so that I can try something new and different. Nepali cuisine tickles tastebuds and when I saw Wild Boar on the menu, it was over!! I ordered and was really looking forward to trying something new. So... The food gets served and man, talk about depressing. First the portion was tiny for something costing upwards of $17. I'd be generous if there was 12oz. of food on that plate. It was basically "boar", with onions and a flair of cilantro(?). Trying to keep an open mind I pop the first piece of meat in my mouth and good grief!! Tough as nails, impossible to chew, basically hard dry jerky, Also zero sides, no salad or vegetables, just boot leather (color and texture) meat. Did I mention it was cold? Not heat lamp luke warm, just sat on the counter for 10mins cold. So... I swapped it for a hamburger. This was a standard Costco sirloin patty, std. bun, lettuce, tomato, onion. Pepper jack cheese was the upgrade, thankfully, this was served hot. Now I hate to bring up hygiene but at one point the cook walked past us and his BO followed close BEHIND and left an impression... C'mon man, it's a damn restaurant!!! C'MON MAN!!! Now... I just don't get it... In this era of cooking shows, competitions, books, podcasts and celebrities. This world where Gordon Ramsey is EVERYWHERE, how, how, HOW can you not put in some effort!! How can the Owner / Manager allow this?? It was a Friday night, the bar had about nine people at it while the restaurant had the two of us and one other diner. On a Friday night!!!! How do you even stay in business?? Listen, I hope ownership takes note and immediately does something to up their food game. I want them to succeed but if this is the best they can do... Just shut it down. Sad diner, signing off.
