Gobi Manchurian
Aaron K.

Bir Kitchen is an absolute gem in the Mission and a place I'm already excited to return to. The staff were very warm and welcoming and the service was excellent throughout the meal. The menu leans into a really interesting Indian-Nepalese fusion, and it works beautifully. The palak paneer and rogan josh were the standouts of the night, with both arriving piping hot, absolutely packed with flavor, and with just the right level of spice (even the medium gave me a small sweat and I love spicy things!). The palak paneer was velvety and creamy while still tasting fresh and spinach-forward, and the rogan josh had deep, layered spices (with very little gaminess) in both the goat and the curry, though I personally would have preferred the goat to be a bit more fall off the bone. One of the most memorable moments of the meal was actually the way it began. Shortly after we sat down, they brought out a huge complimentary portion of papadum, generously topped with an assortment of chopped onions, tomatoes, and spices (I think that makes it a masala papad?). It was crisp, bright, and addictive and the kind of starter that immediately makes you feel like you're about to be treated to a really fantastic meal (which we were!). Between the warm hospitality, the thoughtful fusion of Indian and Nepali flavors, and dishes that are as generous as they are delicious, Bir Kitchen feels like the kind of neighborhood spot that you instantly add to your regular rotation. If you love bold spices, comforting curries, and genuinely kind service, this place is an easy must-visit in the Mission.

I really enjoy my experience here every time, the staff is very welcoming and the food is delicious. They make it flavorful, spicy and in generous portions. Inside, the tables are clean and well spaced, never had an issue with that. My wife and I really enjoy their Manchurian chicken, chow mein, and biryani offerings! This is my local Nepalese restaurant!

garlic Naan
Aiza C.

Great service, amazing food! Nice interior! Saw this new restaurant and decided to come support the new business and i'm glad I did! Will def come back! here is what we got: chicken 65 - honest better than i expected, presentation can be worked on but the flavors are there, although it's quite pricey for what it is chicken tikka - very good 5/5, nothing to add garlic naan - pretty good but prefer more garlic they gave us a free appetizer (not sure what it is) - pretty good, very light

Come in to slow down, and enjoy the delicious symphony of flavors and the easygoing relaxing atmosphere. The food is so amazingly flavorful, that my daughter and I savored every bite. From flavorful dumplings in broth (Jhol momo), crispy fulki panipuri, the platter with rice, goat stew and many side dishes, fluffy garlic naan, shrimp salad with perfectly grilled shrimp bursting with minty fresh flavor and mango lassi. Perfection. And we are taking goat biryani to go, since we are throughly stuffed but still want to try it. So it will be tomorrow's lunch, along with leftovers. We will be back to try the other dishes, and I highly reccomend you give this restaurant a try.

Absolutely loved the food here. Dined here on NYE and was immediately seated inside. They have plenty of seating space and the ambiance overall is pretty neat. We were a party of 5 including a toddler and ordered their chicken curry, chicken tikka masala (both entrees cage with rice), roti, goat thali and chicken chowmein. Everybody loved the food and the portion sizes were pretty decent. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Looking forward to being back here soon!

Piro chatpate
Ying Z.

Bir kitchen is a new Nepali restaurant that is family owned and operated. Everything here from the staff to the food is warm and inviting. As the weather gets colder, fresh cooked food like this is perfect. I got the masala papadum, piro chatpate, baby corn manchurian, tandoori momo, and also the house special biryani. - The appetizers were really fun and crunchy to eat. The piro chatpate has crushed up instant noodle and seasoning, and eating it felt really whimsical. I think it would be a great bar snack with a beer. - I loved the baby corn manchurian! The chili sauce is savory, sweet, and tangy, while the corn adds a slight crunch. - It was my first time having momos tandoori style, and I really enjoyed the meat filling. Preparing it tandoori style takes a lot of time so I applaud the effort that goes into this dish. The homemade green chutney is superb, and the spice gradually adds as you eat more. - house special dum biryani is artfully made. I can taste the curated spice blend like saffron, cardamom, coriander, and more. This spice is the one that grows from your belly, not the spice that burns your tongue. Bir Kitchen has a huge menu, tons to choose from. Very vegetarian and vegan friendly. Perfect for sharing with a group. Please support small businesses like Bir Kitchen!

Gratis appetizer
Micki M.

After reading some positive reviews on Yelp. We visited Bir Kitchen on a Saturday evening and impressed. The restaurant was new, clean and perfect for a date night or a relaxed dinner with friends or family. The booths were comfortable, dishes and cutlery were new and sparkly clean. The staff were welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. We started off with a delicious gratis appetizer. It was similar to a thin vegetarian tostada. We also enjoyed paneer pakora with tasty mint chutney. YUM! I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and my BF enjoyed paneer tikka masala with Naan and basmati rice. Everything was delicious and well seasoned. Prices were reasonable, especially for the quality. I'd absolutely recommend Bir Kitchen and can't wait to go back. Ideal for a romantic evening or any time you want fresh, satisfying Nepalese cuisine. One benefit is Reyna's across the street-The concha's smell amazing!

Jhol momo after a few bites; best I've ever had
Aaron L.

Super tasty food, affordable prices, and incredible service. My wife and I decided to eat out for the first time with our 1 month old and although it was a scary experience, the staff here accommodated us in the best way possible and made our experience thoroughly enjoyable. I think we may be able to eat out more often based on this experience. They even went as far as to offee to hold our fussy crying baby so we could enjoy the meal. Amazing job Bir Kitchen, we'll absolutely be back to explore the vast menu. They use super fragrant szechuan peppercorns in some of their dishes, which was very tasty.

The food here was phenomenal! I was excited to see that they had Nepalese, Indian, and Chinese food, and some dishes in between. We got the chicken momo thukpa, chicken thali, and of course the mango lassi. The lassi tasted so fresh, it made me realize that a lot of lassis I've had have just been concentrate, but this one tasted like I was eating straight mangoes. The momo in the thukpa were so good; the filling was extremely flavorful and the skin was perfectly bouncy. The soup cleared our sinuses and the delicious spice left us feeling warm and comforted. Everything in the soup was the perfect texture; nothing was too soft. The thali had a great variety and everything in it was delicious (the daal was a favorite). The AC had broke that day, so it was quite warm inside, but the food was so good I didn't care. We also got a free appetizer. I can't wait to come back to try the kebabs and the rest of the extensive menu!

The food was amazing as always. Everything was great, and the server was kind. Only one server for such a busy night, she handled every single table amazingly. We could see how busy the place was, but the kitchen staff's teamwork was impeccable.

Chicken biryani takeout
Priyanka K.

The taste was absolutely delicious! I attended a work party and we ordered a variety of dishes. The sizzling platter included chicken kabab, pani puri with chana soup, veggie momo, chicken in jhol, steamed momo, chicken biryani, nan, chicken korma, and chicken fried rice. Each dish was incredibly tasty, but my personal favorite was the chicken biryani. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making the overall experience enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning in the future. Ambiance also very nice with the Nepali artwork and handcrafted items.

Roshan A.

Amazing momo and thukpa. We ordered chicken momo and momo thukpa(item name). It was super healthy, fresh and tasty. The service and ambiance of restaurant is inviting one. We saw people enjoying naan n curries and drinks. They have a great menu selection.

It was surprising that we were able to get served so quickly on a weekend night, but actually about an hour later, the entire restaurant was packed so we got lucky. I actually couldn't believe that I hadn't tried this restaurant until recently given how many reviews it has. Between the six of us, we ordered a variety of dishes to share for the table. Some of the things that we ordered included the butter chicken, the garlic naan, the coconut naan, plain naan, along with the chow mein with shrimp, pork belly small plate, the kale chaat, the daal bhat, and the chicken momos. From this list, my favorites were the garlic naan, the chow mein, and the kale chaat. Next time, I'd skip over the pork belly as it wasn't anything special. The coconut naan wasn't my favorite either but was nice to try something new. I also didn't really enjoy the daal bhat though I know it's a popular dish of theirs. To each their own. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. I don't crave this type of cuisine too often, but when I do, this will definitely be the spot to hit up.

Surprised by how good this place was, I think it's definitely the best Nepali restaurant I've had…read morehere in the US. Starting with the chicken momo, they were really tasty esp with the chilli powder on the side. Also got the veggie chow mein which was pretty decent, not salty like many other places end up being.

We weren't super hungry so we decided to keep it light and just do appetizers. We ordered the pork momo, roti, pork belly bhutuwa and tandoori octopus and honestly everything was amazing. The standouts were the pork belly bhutuwa and the tandoori octopus. The pork belly was incredibly juicy and just the right portion for two people. The octopus was prepared perfectly, tender with no rubberiness at all which is always the make or break on that dish. Highly recommend all of the items we tried! The only reason I'm giving it a 4 is that they were out of the chatamari and chicken momos when we visited, which was a little disappointing since those were on my must try list. Hopefully next time they have everything in stock. Will definitely be back!

From the start we were impressed with the incredibly friendly service. To start, we got the fish pakora. Although deep fried, the pakora were crispy without being greasy or heavy, and had a nice fresh flavor when dipped in the accompanying mint sauce. For our entrees, we got the daal makhani and the mixed vegetable curry. Both entrees were very tasty, but our favorite was the daal makhani, which had a nice smoky flavor. We also got a side of garlic naan and Peshwari naan. Although I hadn't had Peshwari naan before and was skeptical about whether it would go with the meal with its sweet flavors, the filling of coconut, almonds, and sultanas was so delicious that it was my favorite part of the meal. Also, although it was sweet, it didn't have too much sweetness to create an imbalance against the rest of the things we ordered. Highly recommend this place for great food and impeccable service!
