Dal Bhat Tarkari and achar which mean Lentil soup, Rice Curry and Pickle are the everyday Nepal food that most of the people eat in the country. These are the staple food of the country which is not only healthy but nourishing and tasty. Beside that every month there is certainly one festival that people or ethnic group of the country celebrate and every occasion ends with the delicious foods specially prepared on the occasion. Therefore a tiny but having highest peak of the world country offers different varieties of foods. So we can say that Nepal offers diverse culture, tradition and of course foods. Therefore Nepal has a distinctive assortment of gourmet delights which is still a hidden treasure. But we try to explore the delight and serve in front of you. We therefore try to bring lots of changes in our foods every time. It is the beginning and we have to go miles to rich our destination.In Nepal food is a culture. Food is a tradition and of course food is the way of offering our devotion to God. The food in Nepal differs from one culture to another. We try to bring samples of food from different Nepal cultures. Food is the way of bringing unity in diversity. For example there is a festival almost every week in Nepal . Because there are more than 40+ ethnic groups in Nepal and they have their own kinds of festivals and every festival ends with specially designated foods or feast. It seems like finishing one festivals means preparing for other festivals. We also offer free parking, and have a wonderful atmosphere with a very homely feeling.

As you enter you are always greeted with a 'Namaste' no matter how busy they are! I come for their MOMOS a Nepali sort of steamed dumpling...they are a lot of work to make and just a treat to have fresh...with a perfect dipping sauce...I usually place 2 orders of MOMOS (1 for me and 1 to share) and then let the other person order a special dinner. The specials come with home-made nan...yummy! And soup. And since I do not order a dinner I do not get a soup...but they offer true Himalayan hospitality and bring a bowl for me as well! Although the coupons include an 18% tip I add more because they do go over and above in hospitality. Sadly, without the coupon, the bill with tax and tip usually runs $50 and that is more than I could afford without the coupon!

Overall, very good! I DO think that their soda refill policy (namely, NOT doing it!) detracts from their overall desirability for me becoming a repeat or regular customer. Frankly, at $2 bucks/soda, there are WAY too many similar restaurants out there of the SAME type of cuisine & similar price range that DO also participate in this program AND offer refills on soda for this establishment to be a choice OVER them. They MAY want to reevaulate their policy in light of that fact! (They DID offer a free small dessert at the end of our meal - which was both unexpected and lovely - but I wasn't sure if this was because it was a special day (Valentine's day), due to having an excess of product near the end of the night, or both! Nor can I be sure it's a regular) offer!

It's a good restaurant in the "Gourmet Ghetto" area of North Berkeley--situated among many good restaurants in that part of town.

The menu has many typical Indian dishes but also some I had never seen before. Delicious soup and the sauces on our curries were delicate and very flavorful.

My prior experience at The Himalayas was outstanding which is why I decided to take a friend, however, the service was extremely slow, we waited 45 minutes for our food, though other who walked in after us got served within 15 minutes of their arrival. One of our dishes was luke warm. It was a horrible experience. I will not go there again.

The food is absolutely delicious! And the owner/manager, Rajen Thapa, is a good man--he gives back. He uses proceeds from the restaurant to help educate impoverished children in Nepal.

The portion of food was very small in comparison to the price. You really shouldn't charge $12 for about 8 ounces of tofu and a handful of spinach, no matter how well the ambiance of a restaurant. We really felt ripped off for what we ordered and how much food we got. Way too expensive.
