Little Kathmandu — Restaurant in El Cerrito

I drove here all the way from Dublin and it was worth it. The food is closer to the authentic nepalese food.

Parking - Plenty available in front of the restaurant in a shared parking for the strip mall

Ambience - Nothing fancy, quaint and unassuming place in a strip mall

Cost - $20-30 dollars per person for an appetizer and an entrée

Food Review: (All Vegetarian)

Momos - 10 pieces in a plate with thin outer shell served with two sauces and pickled daikon radish and carrots. Better momo than most other places in the Bay Area

Nimki/Papad Chat - Really good, took me back to streets of Nepal. Spice level can be customized. Crispy, hot and spicy with a tangy kick

Thali - Looked exactly like the Nepalese Thakali. Looked very appetizing but I did not try it. Will update the review on my next visit

Masala Chai - Yummy

KTM Lemonade - Mildly favored lemonade...

I love lemon grass chicken.and pork chop on rice too. They added combo french fry with chicken wings. Price is right and ask for dumpling if you want to try some tibetan delicacies.

New update was due since several months- I do promote local business and we had been ordering food from this business since 2015 and the taste has been consistent. After almost a year of change in ownership , taste of food have been degraded and we ordered food few more time even after not being happy customer, thinking that chef/cook was on vacation or changed. But the result was unexpected so we decided to drive 5 minutes further away for vietnamese food since then. I hope they would bring back regular vietnamese taste...

Food could be hit or miss! Out of all the dishes, Chana Masala was the only dish we enjoyed. Laphing was too spicy and lacked that distinct flavor. Poori was just too oily and little under-cooked. Couldn’t complain about Keema Naan and Lachha Paratha. The big disappointment was chicken Biryani. Mushy rice and lack of biryani flavor. Had to wait over half an hour considering there was only one table whose food was already out. Overall, average food this time but have heard good things about Little Kathmandu. Consistency would give them better chance of competing with so many Nepalese restaurants popping all...
