Himalayan Bite offers a pleasant dining experience with some standout dishes. My family and I recently enjoyed dinner there, and while there were a few minor points, overall, it was a positive experience.
We started with the Kale Chaat, which was very nice and flavorful The Chicken 65 was another winner – perfectly spiced and the chicken was tender and juicy. It had a nice kick without being overly spicy.
For our main courses, we opted for the Tandoori Momo and the Malai Tikka Kabab. The Tandoori Momo had a lovely smoky flavor from the tandoor oven, and the filling was delicious. The Malai Tikka Kabab was also well-prepared, the chicken was incredibly tender and the creamy marinade created a rich and flavorful dish.
The ambiance of the restaurant was comfortable and inviting, creating a relaxed atmosphere for our family dinner. The service was attentive and friendly.
While the food and service were generally very good, I would have liked to see a slightly broader selection of vegetarian options on the menu. This is a minor point, however, as the dishes we did try were excellent.
Overall, Himalayan Bite is a solid choice for anyone looking for a tasty and enjoyable meal...
Read moreI'm not a local but I've traveled to Berkeley about once a year for the past three years for a UC Berkeley event. I try different local places every time I visit and this is by far the best place I've tried in the entire area.
The Chicken Tikka Masala was perfectly spiced and piping hot. Chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful with a fantastic tang. It was not overly greasy at all. The garlic Naan was huge and had amazing flavor. They are very generous with the garlic and butter flavoring. It was crispy on the bottom and pillowy soft on top - perfect complement to the saucy curry.
The mango lassi was also great, it was not overly sweet and had a good thickness to it without being overwhelming. The service was also excellent - the folks there are super kind, very professional, and they bring the food right to where you're sitting.
Seating is a little bit cramped but the tables are clean and they're making the best out of the small space. Himalayan Bite is one restaurant I've visited that I'd love to come back to on...
