    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!

    Warm plates, warm food, warm people Complimentary chicken hot and sour soup, complimentary tea. Very tasty and fresh food, this restaurant does not use any frozen ingredient. Very reasonable priced with most dishes being in $14-$20 range, given that the soup is complimentary as well as the tea, incredible value and taste at $14-$20. The food service is quick, clean and warm - they even have a warm plate, in winter this is such a nice touch to get food in a warm plate. The ambiance is cozy, warm home-like, clean and professional. Very polite staff and owners. Love that they have a balanced mix of vegetarian and meat-based dishes. 5/5

    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.

    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.

If you didn't know, know ya…read moreknow...located essentially across the way from CAL in Berkeley, East Bay Spice to me is a hidden gem filled with such nostalgic memories shared with friends over the years. They closed for a time, and now seem to be thriving again! Heading to the Greek for a weekend show, we wanted to pop in somewhere close-by. We cozied up to bar seating, and enjoy a couple of martinis featuring local gin and vodka, and ordered some food to share: the Original Tikka Masala Flatbread (we had to finally try it!), and the Sev Puri Chaat (first time trying this ever!). Service was amazing, and if I could write this review purely on the originality and creativity of the menus, I would (see pics!) The menus were CD cases (remember those, ha) with a fun take on 'Spice Girls', titled 'East Bay Spice Company'. For Spice Girls fans, you will recognize what album this was derived from. Each page of the cd book was a different part of the menu, including drinks, happy hour (from 2-6pm), and food. So fun, and unlike anything I've ever seen before. The food was so fresh and delicious. Loved the pomegranate seeds and lightness from the Sev Puri Chaat, bite size garbanzo bean/potato goodness! And standing O for that flatbread..pro-tip: get a side of the Tikka Masala sauce to pour on top. Absolutely amazing. I'm a huge fan of Tikka Masala, and having that sauce be a base for a pizza...come on!! We did chicken as the protein. Overall, so happy to return and have East Bay Spice back apart of the Berkeley rotation again. Small, dimly-lit, cool digs. Also check out their sister spots: Tap in Lounge and Tipsea in Berk, Blue Rabbit Bar off San Pablo, and Lemon Drop in Alameda.

    I saw someone post a photo of the chicken tikka masala here and immediately made plans to visit…read morethat same week. I ordered the same dish, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The presentation was impeccable, and the sauce was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The chicken seemed like a leaner cut, possibly breast, but it was still tender and not overcooked. I thoroughly enjoyed this plate and would 100% come back to order it again. My husband ordered the flatbread, though I can't remember the exact name, and it was surprisingly delicious as well. It tasted almost like a pizza version of the chicken tikka masala, making it a great shareable option if you're looking to snack, chat, and enjoy cocktails. Speaking of cocktails, the bartenders seemed very knowledgeable and helped me choose a drink based on my preferred spirit and cocktail style. I ended up with the Skeleton Key, which was strong, but still paired well with the meal. I'd happily come back to try more cocktails and, of course, order that chicken tikka masala again.

A recommendation from a client I had today directed me here before my trip home over the San Rafael Richmond Bridge. I found a parking spot right around the corner. One space from the corner is Udupi Palace and the Corner space is a Turkish restaurant that once was a breakfast spot that I used to frequent back in 1984. A memory jolt from times long ago when I worked for a minute across the street at a modern furniture store-"The Apartment Store." Chrome, glass, and marble home furnishings that took several months to deliver and required a 50% deposit. A strange business model indeed! To my delight, my meal came much quicker. A nice portion for my curry entrée which came complete with rice, Poori: Deep-fried, puffed whole wheat bread, and I believe a piece of Papadum: a thin, crisp wafer made from lentil flour. VEGETABLE KORMA: Fresh vegetables cooked with cream and mild spices.(Served with rice, poori or chapati pickle, raita and papad.) $15.95 Friendly service as well and I was offered extra rice, complementary.
