    Bison Burger
    Max K.

    It's a fusion bar and restaurant with American, Italian and Nepali cuisines! Foods are fresh and delicious. All in all, more on spicy and chilly side. Great variety of dishes and drinks with full bar. Servers are attentive and relatively quick. Flat entry wide entry good for accessibility. Bar area and dining are separate, good for accommodating different crowds connected through open kitchen and bar. Nice decorations. Live music Friday and Saturday nights with local musicians.

    Goat Curry ($19) with Saffron Rice ($21)
    Sabrina J.

    Reasonable prices. I ordered the Goat Curry, medium spice ($19) with saffron rice ($2) and hot milk tea ($5). Was a little disappointed by the goat curry. The flavor was excellent, but the meat was a bit tough. Ample serving size though so I'll have 1 or 2 more meals with what I ordered. The hot milk tea was alright. Nothing to write home about. Not very sweet, and they only offer Stevia packets, so pass. Our server was a chirpy, chipper guy, and they play some good folk or country music. Overall aesthetic is pleasant with shades of blue on the wall.

    A cute little spot with amazing Nepali food. the lamb and the tornado fries were an easy 10. skip the drinks, nothing to write home about, but the food is a great experience for first timers trying this cuisine. the staff was super friendly and accommodating. i had a wonderful time. they also have live music, but that must start later in the night. my friend and i were there around 7pm. I would love to come back and support.

    This cool little jewel is definitely going into my rotation! Dim lit with beautiful bar decor, very friendly staff, and good music we had a great time. Starting with the pepper jelly and Brie partnered with tornado fries was a surprisingly good start. Pork belly with rice was the main and it was decent followed by some lamb and paneer momo's. 1st time having Nepalese beer as per recommendation from the bartender. Not too busy, attentive, and live music on Saturdays.

    The name itself already tells you this place has potential, then you walk in, are warmly greeted and the smell of the food is incredible. They have every kind of top shelf alcohol and I even tried a Himalayan beer, which was different but good. The flavors of the food were exceptional. We did the Mo Mo Roulette, trying an assortment and the lamb was our favorite. The Himalayan pizza had a ton of flavor as well. All in all, a great experience.

    We came on a Saturday night and were seated by the window. It was a nice spot near where the band was playing but not to close. We enjoyed our craft cocktails with artichoke fritters, chicken momo, and tipsy fries. Everything was the delicious and the band was great. Looking forward to coming back.

    Cool place. Good food, from basic kid stuff to spicy Nepalese food. Kids liked it. Had a beer. Watched a Cavs game.

    This review is long overdue! My husband and I have been coming here ever since they opened, and at this point it's basically our weekly ritual. We had never tried Nepali food before, but one day we were driving by, saw the soft‑launch signs out front, and decided to give it a try. Best decision ever. From that very first visit, we were hooked. The Tipsy Fries, veggie chow mein, and Mustang Chicken are our go‑to favorites. Every dish is packed with flavor and made with such fresh ingredients. The chicken is always tender, perfectly seasoned, and the spices just burst in your mouth in the best way. You can tell the kitchen puts real care into every plate that comes out. One of the biggest reasons we keep coming back, though, is the staff. Every single employee here is friendly, warm, welcoming, and genuinely upbeat; they never seem to have a bad day. They remember us, greet us like family, and create such a positive atmosphere that you can't help but feel good being here. The space itself is great too. The restaurant is surprisingly large, with a lively bar area in the front and a spacious dining room tucked behind it. They have multiple big‑screen TVs, so there's always a game or event playing if you're in the mood to watch something. On certain nights and weekends, they host live music and events, which adds such a fun vibe. When the weather is nice, the outdoor patio is perfect for dining outside. They also host private events, and the layout makes it a great spot for gatherings. Overall, this place has become one of our absolute favorites. Amazing food, amazing people, and a consistently great experience every single time.

    We celebrated my friend's 40th birthday here and had a wonderful experience. Rubina was incredibly helpful from the moment I called to plan the celebration and made sure everything was set up perfectly for our group in the back area with heaters and karaoke. She truly made us feel at home and went above and beyond to accommodate all of our friends' requests. The staff were welcoming and attentive throughout the evening. The drinks were great, and the artichoke fries and calamari were delicious. Dinner was good overall (though as a momo enthusiast I think the momos could be improved a bit!). Overall experience 10/10, food 8/10, drinks 8/10. Thank you, Rubina, for making the night so special!

    Ahhhhmazing food. Haven't had this type of fusion before so I plan to come back and try other dishes as well. Large space, and nice decor. The cocktails were a bit pricey so I settled on having beer instead. Staff were friendly and helped each other.

    food: 4 stars ambiance: 5 stars service: 3.5 stars value: 3 stars I would have given the place five stars if with weren't for a couple of fundamental issues we experienced. for the most part, this place has a really good formula going. They've got specials every day of the week that seem to be interesting enough to bring people in, live music, etc. We went on Friday evening, the day after Thanksgiving, so it was pretty quiet. The ambience is very nice; a mixture of industrial with traditional art. I really liked the fact that they had both western, fusion and traditional (?) Items on their menu. We ordered a couple of drinks ($20 for a cocktail and $10 for a draft beer), the Himalayan pizza, the scampi pasta dish and the flamed "cheese" balls for dessert. Now for the important bits... The drinks are VERY overpriced! High end restaurant - this is not one of them - may get away with charging $20 for a cocktail but here it's a bit of highway robbery. $14-$16 fir a cocktail and $7-$8 is comparable to market value. The Himalayan pizza was very good. The crust was nicely baked. it comes with a dry curry rub (no tomato sauce) that is not overpowering. BE AWARE: the menu states that you have an option of meats for the pizza but when we asked the waiter, he said it comes with only with chicken (no other options). While the pizza was very good, it came out 30 minutes before my scampi dish. My dinner partner was kind enough to share some of the pizza, but it was not a forgivable problem. They definitely have to do a better job of time management. I can't imagine how it would be if there were more than three tables seated at the restaurant. It was virtually empty! The scampi dish was pretty good, but unlike any scampi I've ever had. It had no sauce (dry), was very lemony/acidic and with no hint of any wine reduction. It was enjoyable, but eating it was awkward when my dinner partner had already finished their dish. The desert for us was the worst part of the whole experience unfortunately. The $15 charged for the flam Aid cheese balls was extremely disappointing for one thing the balls were.gulab jamun - a common sweet Indian dessert balls. They were very dance and doughy. There was no cheese to be found. The most atrocious thing however, is that you got two small balls for the $15. This dessert is no way worth that amount of money. $6-$7 is a more appropriate price for what they give you So why four stars? If half stars were allowed, I would've given them 3 1/2 stars but I think there's potential there if they lower the price of their drinks and dessert and get their kitchen in order with respect the timing.

    Amazing food and service! Momo dumplings in the red sauce had so much flavor and were cooked perfectly. Fried Brie and pear salad was so amazing all the flavors went so well together.

The pizza was also remarkably delicious and reminded me of my experience 20 years ago at a Point Reyes pizza joint where they also used a brick hearth. It's so difficult to find this flavor and has always been just a minute walk from the office. I'm so glad I walked in today and found this place.

    I'm out and about in Berkeley today and I saw that my Yelp community manager Gina enjoyed visiting…read morehere. She's right - it's very fun. I arrived at opening, 2pm. I'm sure it's more of a nighttime experience. Firstly, I took advantage of the speakeasy beer option, which is hidden in the back of the bar. It's self serve with a nice selection. You're given a card that allows you to pour what you want. For food, I did a shrimp and a lamb, yes, I said lamb, taco. Both were great. The lamb was surprisingly great as a taco meat. Very rich and tender with warm, Indian type spices. I finished it off with a Pimm's cocktail from their happy hour menu made with a ginger syrup. Delicious. The bartender/server, Christine, was excellent. She really made me feel comfortable here. As I said, I feel like this is more of a nighttime place, and my review is for afternoon.

They have a variety of different beer flavors available through dispensers where you simply tap your card and pour as much or as little as you'd like while keeping track of the total $$. Our group shared one card and asked for four cups so everyone could sample different beers, which made it a really fun tasting experience. It's a great way to try multiple options without committing to a full pint of something you're unsure about. For food, we ordered the pizza, chicken tikka masala, naan, and tamarind chili black ribs. The ribs in particular had a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavors. However, the portions felt small for the price point, which was the biggest drawback of the meal. While the food was good, it didn't quite match the value of the drinks and atmosphere. Tap in lounge is a solid place to grab drinks and hang with friends. Just be prepared for food portions that are a bit smaller than expected for what you're paying.

I went to see the visual kei, Japanese rock band, JILUKA, here with my boyfriend and we lined up beforehand for VIP. The staff walked out, showed us the rules for the VIP that was printed on a piece of paper and explained it to us too, they walked down the line to scan us in as well. Venue itself is pretty neat. The front part is a bar area with lots of tables and seating and outdoor seating as well. Since it was before the concert, we were able to enjoy some food and drinks from the bar and kitchen. It was also during their Happy Hour too which was great. My boyfriend got a drink (not sure what it was, but it was refreshing and citrus tasting?) and we shared a Bavarian soft pretzel with mustard and we got the white cheddar dipping sauce added on for a nominal fee. One of the best pretzels that I've ever had! Deliciously soft interior, nice chew to the texture of the exterior. Comes out hot, warm and delicious. Great on it's own, but great with the sauces too. Perfect dash of the coarse salts on it. I'd get this again for sure and would like to one day order more from their menu. The live house music area is in the back in a separate room. Restrooms were clean too. Enough space for the bands to sell their merch and do a meet and greet. Wasn't a huge venue and insane turn out, but it fit the crowd and I liked how intimate setting was. I was around 3-4 rows from the front and even with a mosh pit and wall of death, I was able to shift around and see the band more clearly. Easy visibility no matter where I was shifted around. Lighting was pretty good and made it easy to take pictures and video. I think the vocals were a bit more muffled than the rest of the band members playing, but that might just be the set up more than anything. Of all the venues I stopped by for the week, this had the most approachable and friendly staff. Greeted going and as we were leaving too. I didn't overheat at this one either, so the AC was A+!!
