    Chana Masala
    Abi H.

    There are very few restaurants where I find myself venture back to the very next day after trying it for the first time, but Vegan N' Chicken had me hooked after my first bite. I was looking for a simple comfort meal after a long day and decided to try a place. It was around 8:30 and most places in the area were closing at 9 but Vegan N' Chicken happened to be open until 10pm! When I walked in, I immediately was welcomed with 'mom and pop' restaurant vibes. It is a very casual and fairly small restaurant, but it makes for a very comforting experience. You get to seat yourself then they'll bring you a menu. The menu is simple, but also has everything you'd need. They even have a few seafood dishes! While you wait for your food, you can help yourself to their complimentary soup & hot chai. I'll admit I have no clue what the soup is, but it is such a great way to start the meal. Especially with some hot chai too! On day 1 we ordered Lamb Tikka Masala ($14.99), Chana Masala ($9.99), Cheese Naan ($3.99), Rice ($2.99), and Vegetable Samosas ($4.99). The servings were very generous for the price compared to other similar restaurants in Berkeley. We did ask for medium spice level, but it wasn't spicy enough for us so they brought us a plate of onions, peppers, and cucumbers! The Chana Masala was my favorite bite of the night. It was packed with fragrant spices & the garbanzo beans were so tender. The Lamb Tikka Masala was a little bit sweeter than I am used to, but after mixing in some rice or eating it with the cheese naan it was perfect. On day 2, we ordered the Papadum ($2.99), Rice ($2.99), Prawn Vindaloo ($17.99), and Chana Masala ($9.99 - we added paneer to it and didn't confirm how much it was with the paneer). This time we ordered our dishes spicy to see if it was any different. It really was still not spicy at all, but honestly it didn't bother us. It was a great way to be able to enjoy the dishes in their entirety. The prawns in the vindaloo were fairly large and the portion was perfect for two people! They were also not overcooked & still had a nice bounce when biting into it. The Chana masala with the added paneer was a great combination as well. Vegan N' Chicken is honestly a great spot for the college students nearby as well. It's affordable & could easily be split into two meals even if you just order one dish! Next time we stop by, we're going for the biryani!

    I give this rating now because I love walking into a place and receive great customer service, a friendly smile and hello goes a long way me. They just opened the doors for lunch, we ate a late breakfast so this is going to be lunch for my son when he is ready to eat. I will taste it to see if I like it and will come back later today and order some for me. The restaurant is clean. The music adds a special touch being in their language, oh not music, I just asked the young girl. It is a chant. The guy offers me complimentary chi as I start to exit. Can't wait to taste this Chicken Biryani.

    Just stumbled upon this place. The owner is beyond friendly & chatty, so nice. We tried two vegan dishes - daal & banghan bartha and they were delicious & flavorful. Prices are very reasonable and the dishes hardy & good portion. Will most definitely be back to try other vegan dishes. They also have vegan roti bread. CC accepted.

    Amazing, absolutely come here. Had this on the way back from vacation and my travel companion said it was the best meal they had the entire trip. I hadn't had experience with eating the food I chose but it tasted great and my friend who did said so too :) it's super affordable, I love that they have clearly defined vegan dishes. It's really authentic and the people are very kind

    The food and the service were excellent. Very affordable and delicious, fresh food. Service was also friendly and competent. Parking was easy on side street. This was my birthday lunch and it couldn't have been better! We are vegan but I would love to come back to try their other options. They also do spice level to order.

    Very affable and friendly host . Clean place . Parking relatively easy . Mixed ethnic diverse clientele. Food was freshly prepared or so it appeared. I had okra masala and nan , satisfying lunch . I plan to try it again and order Tandoori items , biryani's in future .

    I took my mom to a Mediterranean market. Next door had a new restaurant that just opened. We decided to eat here because the smell of their aroma food made me hungry. We ordered the usual chicken tiki masala that my mom likes and I had the special okra masala. The food was delicious. The non-bread was amazing fresh baked all in all will definitely come back again and again. friendly service the chef even came out to talk to us very nice.

    Okra Masala

    Four of us went for an early dinner tonight and ordered: Okra masala, Palak gost (lamb with spinach), Chicken tikka masala, Basmati rice, naan, roti, raita, and mango chutney. The meat was very tender and the flavor was excellent. We asked for mild spicy since I am not a lover of spicy foods. They offer complimentary soup (delicious) and hot tea. Abbasi, the owner, is very friendly and helpful. We are not experts in Indian/Pakistani food and it was fun to share a variety of dishes. Their prices are very reasonable and their portions are ample. We will definitely return. Street parking is not hard.

    Hey Y'all, Went here…read morethe night going into my birthday a few days ago. I totally forgot the name of it, someone took me here, but I hunted it down just to leave a review! THIS IS A GREAT BAR. one of the best I ever been to. Their food is so good, I am still thinking about their prawn street tacos and the prawn flatbread. I wish I had some right now! I can taste it in my mouth, oh lord. They have one of the BEST BARTENDERS EVER, her name is Adela, I hope I am spelling that correctly. She was so beautiful, she had long beautiful dread locks. We talked and she was very welcoming her and Nicholas who birthday was a day before mines, he was so cool. They made sure we had everything we needed and our drinks was to our likings, she was very very informative about our drinks, what was in it, and she even had great detail to the things we wanted/looking for in our drinks. I still can not get off how good the food was. This place is a VIBE, period. Music was on POINT! and its very cute and I LOVE THE HUGE OPEN window, wish I got a pic of it. It wasn't loud, ghetto or dirty, just a nice place to vibe, have a very good drink and great food. I can not wait to come back and see you guys, EVERYONE PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. 1000/10. LOVE YOU GUYS!

    TLDR: food is EXCELLENT. the service and drinks are mid at best…read more very vibe-y, dim-lit, date night type of spot. I tried two different drinks and requested a re-do with less ginger but they both still had this spicy, ginger-y taste-- not for me, personally. and their soft drinks are very limited, only carrying Mexican coke that's $5 a bottle. after we were seated, it took about 15-20 mins before someone checked on us again. and that was kind of the theme throughout the night. but the servers were lovely! maybe someone didn't show for their shift. the food is verrrrry good though. maybe some spicier sauce options would be nice. i think the chutney is the spiciest they have. the white sauce is also very yummy too. would visit again just because the food is that good.

    Once again we celebrated the day at Mount Everest Restaurant…read more With perfect cuisine we all had such a great time sampling lots of different flavors

    We dined at Mount Everest Restaurant for a late lunch, and it was a pleasant experience. While I've…read moredined here before, it was my first time returning after a few years. 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!
