    Chicken Burrito
    Timothy N.

    I got the Himalayan chicken burrito. It was okay. The chutney/sauce they used was tangy with a mild sweetness which is nice. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was too. I have two main criticisms which is that the burrito is mostly rice and there was a small amount of chicken (for 16 dollars). As I ate more of the burrito I noticed there wasn't any more sauce. Eventually everything tasted the same and it was texturally uninteresting. Perhaps the addition of ingredients with a different texture and/or flavor and more evenly distributed ingredients would improve the enjoyment of the burrito. The staff are pretty nice and the restaurant is not busy and chill. I enjoyed spending my time here and would come back to try something else.

    Garlic rice

    Given that it's next to Cal campus, the dishes and prices are student friendly. My friend and I ordered: -Chicken tikka -Aloo gobhi -Garlic rice -Garlic naan The chicken was good but a little dry. Aloo gobhi was delicious. I think we could've done without the garlic rice tho - buttery but mild in flavor, probably not worth the price. The garlic naan was great - a bit more doughy than average but chewy yumminess. Tho it's a self order and bus your own table, the wait staff was nice and came around to check on us. Given my experience I plan to try their lamb biryani.

    amazing service amazing food very flavorful and affordable not busy and food. Came out very fast. Also, staff was very nice. clean floors and counters as well.

    Paneer Tikka Masala
    Sarah H.

    The naan was huge and really good! I got the paneer tikka masala which was tasty but I wish I had gotten it spicier. I also accidentally ordered this thinking I got chicken tikka masala, which i probably would've enjoyed more. The workers were friendly and my group of 7 left happy.

    Garlic Naan
    Blu M.

    Pretty good Indian in really close proximity to Cal campus. I was originally nervous coming here once this spot was rebranded from the previous location but I am happy to say the quality of the food has stayed the same! Himalayan Bite is a reliable spot to get some grub for a quick and tasty meal. The restaurant itself is relatively small, able to comfortable sit maybe 15 people! Service is always great and staff is helpful. You order at your table from your phone via QR code and someone will bring your food in about 10 minutes! I typically go for their chicken korma, aloo saag, and chana. The korma is great! Very rich, creamy curry with good spice. Chicken is very tender and flavorful. All the vegetarian/vegan options I have eaten here have been fantastic too! I love their naan and kulcha, especially the garlic naan and onion kulcha. Very good, not overcooked and great texture. I find myself coming here in between classes or when I am on the run. A reliable place with friendly pricing, check it out!

    Veggie curry with rice
    Ms S.

    I went for lunch today, and loved their vegetarian soup, veg curry with paneer, gobi, channa and rice. So delicious and fresh on a clear, chilly afternoon! The server was so nice, and you cannot beat the price!

    V Bento
    Arsha T.

    I ordered Veggie Bento & Chicken Bento. Both were great. Their chicken was tasty. The service was great. It was pretty quiet & there weren't many people.

    Kale Chaat, Garlic Naan, Goat Cheese Naan.
    Robert-Jessica C.

    Himalayan Bite is a new, reliable go-to for us! My god, the KALE CHAAT! An *inspired*dish! I now crave it! The naans are bliss for this carb-addict. I'll be working my way through their many menu offerings but I can't bring myself to not order the kale chaat and a naan. And chai. We came to Himalayan Bite by chance. Noodle Dynasty had just closed for the evening. Wondering where to go as we walked, just a couple doors north was Himalayan Bite. It was rather empty but it was open and we were hungry! (The sign in the window stating that they also serve Jain food was a positive bias for me.) The cherry on too: the guys working there - so welcoming. They make it clear that they want your experience to be a good one.

They closed for a time, and now seem to be thriving again! Heading to the Greek for a weekend show, we wanted to pop in somewhere close-by. We cozied up to bar seating, and enjoy a couple of martinis featuring local gin and vodka, and ordered some food to share: the Original Tikka Masala Flatbread (we had to finally try it!), and the Sev Puri Chaat (first time trying this ever!). Service was amazing, and if I could write this review purely on the originality and creativity of the menus, I would (see pics!) The menus were CD cases (remember those, ha) with a fun take on 'Spice Girls', titled 'East Bay Spice Company'. For Spice Girls fans, you will recognize what album this was derived from. Each page of the cd book was a different part of the menu, including drinks, happy hour (from 2-6pm), and food. So fun, and unlike anything I've ever seen before. The food was so fresh and delicious. Loved the pomegranate seeds and lightness from the Sev Puri Chaat, bite size garbanzo bean/potato goodness! And standing O for that flatbread..pro-tip: get a side of the Tikka Masala sauce to pour on top. Absolutely amazing. I'm a huge fan of Tikka Masala, and having that sauce be a base for a pizza...come on!! We did chicken as the protein. Overall, so happy to return and have East Bay Spice back apart of the Berkeley rotation again. Small, dimly-lit, cool digs. Also check out their sister spots: Tap in Lounge and Tipsea in Berk, Blue Rabbit Bar off San Pablo, and Lemon Drop in Alameda.

Combined, it means "Lord of the Stars" Near the corner of MLK and Shattuck Ave- across from Trader Joe's is this nice little vegetarian Indian restaurant. A recommendation from a client I had today directed me here before my trip home over the San Rafael Richmond Bridge. I found a parking spot right around the corner. One space from the corner is Udupi Palace and the Corner space is a Turkish restaurant that once was a breakfast spot that I used to frequent back in 1984. A memory jolt from times long ago when I worked for a minute across the street at a modern furniture store-"The Apartment Store." Chrome, glass, and marble home furnishings that took several months to deliver and required a 50% deposit. A strange business model indeed! To my delight, my meal came much quicker. A nice portion for my curry entrée which came complete with rice, Poori: Deep-fried, puffed whole wheat bread, and I believe a piece of Papadum: a thin, crisp wafer made from lentil flour. VEGETABLE KORMA: Fresh vegetables cooked with cream and mild spices.(Served with rice, poori or chapati pickle, raita and papad.) $15.95 Friendly service as well and I was offered extra rice, complementary.
