Taste of the HimalayasB+

1700 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA 94709 · Indian restaurant, Asian restaurant, Halal restaurant · Gourmet Ghetto

A warmly run Nepalese-Indian spot known for momos, curries, and friendly service; solid value at lunch, but portions and spice balance can vary.

Our take

Taste of the Himalayas delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by standout momos and well-spiced curries, paired with attentive, knowledgeable service that guides diners through unfamiliar dishes. However, inconsistent execution—watery sauces and variable protein texture across visits—prevents the grade A territory this restaurant approaches on its best nights. The pleasant North Shattuck location and loyal following make it a worthwhile stop for Nepalese comfort food, but meticulous consistency seekers should dine in and follow staff guidance for optimal results.

One caveat: Portion size and value vary; some dishes feel small for price
