Decent restaurant for Indian food in Berkeley. Ordered Veg Steamed Momo's and Dal Tadka. The Momo's were good, but the dal Tadka was average. Service is good.Food: 3/5

Went in this evening to get whatever dal or lentil soup they are serving. I had my favorite version of sambar made by another local Berkeley restaurant, but the owners became grandparents, retired and moved to Florida!!. Got the Himalayan Flavors ' Dals made with yellow red lentils. When asked about level of spiciness, I said, mild, and it was DEEELICIOUS!! So nice. Good nutritious, tasty wonderful food!! So blessed. They serve it with rice, but I will save that for later. I will go back and try more at Himalayan Flavors.

Got regular naan pickup via Grubhub+. It was a bit too chewy for my taste. It just felt more paratha-ey than naan-ey.

Yesterday Nina and I met here for lunch. We parked in the adjacent lot after buying tickets for a play at Berkeley Rep. We were the only people eating in the restaurant during our entire stay. Our server was sweet and accommodating. I was facing the beautiful tomato red wall which holds a giant flat screen TV which was showing videos. The sound was muted. We decided to share an order of mixed momos, vegan and chicken, the ones w/o the soup, as well as lamb biryani w/ the spice level mild. We both wanted tea, but there was none available. However, midway through our meal our server told us they now had tea, so we both got a cup and it was just what we wanted.To our surprise the biyani came out first, accompanied by a bowl of raita. It was delicious, w/ a hint of heat. The lamb was tender. The momos came out slightly afterward, w/ a tomato chutney sauce, I think. When I tried the first two they were a bit hot and I didn't like them as well as I did when they had cooled down. Nina liked them better than I did from the first taste. Because the food was good I called Alan to see if he would like an order of mushroom biryani and lamb kadai, two of his favorites from Delhi Diner. He did, so I brought them to him after we finished lunch. He said later that they were good, but he likes Delhi Diner's better. The menu is very extensive and there's a lot to try. Nina and I were pleased w/ our meal.
