This was a random visit at this restaurant while visiting Berkeley, and i had few friends for the lunch. This is by far a restaurant to refrain visiting from in terms of their food which ironically is what people look forward to in a restaurant. Owners of Mehak restaurant doesn't seem to get this simple concept of good food. Its a absolute disgrace from a Indian diaspora perspective to see a restaurant selling food under the disguise of authentic Indian food. .
People who seem be raving good reviews about this mehak restaurant,clearly haven't tasted real Indian food . its a blissful experience if one visits the right place. The food we ordered had loads of coloring , salty and absolutely bland.Even a seemingly ordinary restaurant by the side of a non de-script road in India would serve way better food than at Mehak restaurant.

I tend to like creamy curries like koorma, but I am also ilevro spicy food, so I ordered it spicy and it was perfectly seasoned and delicious. I also appreciate how they serve it in little brass bowls , so that I can dole it out on to my plate as I see fit. But the real news here is the Naan. They make some truly high-quality Naan here, crispy and delicious on the top, with the Ghee baked in, and the mango lassi was surprisingly fresh. I would give them 5 stars, but they need to get their bathroom together. All in all highly recommended,...
Read moreI really loved it!!! Wonderful atmosphere and service!!! I really enjoyed the food! My girlfriend is South Indian, and her critique of the food and restaurant were a little more critical than mine... Something about yellow daal compared to different kinds of daal, different kinds of achaar, etc... Very good prices, perfect service, very friendly and helpful, great portions... Very nice tandoori roti We ordered all vegetarian, sharing aloo gobi and daal orders. It had a very nice spice I would 10/10 recommend to everyone!!
