    I love coming to Konarq when I visit Bay Street. Their food has always been consistently good and it keeps bringing me back. I ordered the Chicken Masala with the yellow rice and the cabbage. I also added the Garlic Naan and a Veggie Samosa. Everything was so good! Yum. I always appreciate the employees being so kind and helpful when I wasn't sure what to order. They always give you more than enough, so leftovers are always great to have. Thank you!

    A row of colorful pots lines the counter at Konarq, a casual Indian eatery in Emeryville's Public Market. The wide selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian entrees were ready to be dished up in takeout boxes, and my choices were the Masala Chicken, made of tender chunks of dark meat chicken in a spiced gravy made with tomatoes, dairy, and cashews; and the Saag Paneer, made of puréed spinach and cubes of cottage cheese. While the spices in these items were a bit toned down, I absolutely loved the Fish Curry, which unlike the other entrees, was made to order and came with an entire filet of a meaty Pacific whitefish in an intensely tangy and spicy red-colored curry! With the entrees came a pickled cabbage slaw, and a chewy, doughy naan bread baked fresh in the tandoor oven--perfect for dipping into and eating with the curries! While the spices in some of the dishes were toned down, the food was still delicious and came at a good value with super friendly service (especially for such a casual eatery) and generous portions too!

    Liked the food. May not be 100% authentic in flavor but I liked the taste nevertheless. The side of rice so well made. Please note, it is not one of those usual Indian spice filled biriyani, but I still liked it. It was honest. So many curries to choose from. The naan was a bit sweet, but it was just made in front of me and so fluffy and fresh. Portion size was decent, so was the price. Liked it overall.

    First time trying Konarq at the Public Market. I came by for lunch and it wasn't busy at all. Ordered the eggplant and there wasn't much flavor or spice at all. The salad was bland too. The only thing that had flavor was the rice. Probably will try something else or skip next time. Service was minimal.

    I wasn't hoping too much about this place, but it turned out...omg...what a wonderful spot. Their curry sauce was right on spot, the meat was tender, mixed and cooked well with the sauce. Their vegetables, omg, so good. I don't know what sauce or oil they use, but it tastes so good. I came back and asked for more. Their garlic naan is also good yet different than other places. They used minced garlic, rather than freshly chopped garlic. It added some special flavors. I will definitely come back. What a good place.

    Loovvvvveeeeee the Chicken Masala (made w coconut milk) - delicious and comforting. Comes with a side of long yellow rice and "salad" (tiny portion of cabbage slaw - which was good). Will be back for sure to order this dish and add a side of Naan. It's addicting...

    Chicken vindaloo and lemon/honey chicken. SOLit Food!

    Since I was a teen I've been coming to Emeryville market. This restaurant is one of few that's been there and survived all the changes. Food is always good! Chicken vindaloo and the lemon honey chicken is always my go to along with their garlic naan. Good portions and flavorful.

    If you're fortunate enough to have access to Konarq at the Emeryville Public Market, do not walk, do not pass go, RUN straight there and snag what I think is the best damn meal deal in all in the entire San Francisco area. I got a generous, overflowing container of bindhi masala with a light veggie slaw situation and seasoned yellow rice AND two super stuffed samosa for less than a single cocktail will run these days. In truth, you could be totally full and satisfied with just the samosa alone (and they ring up at 2 for $4!). These babies are coming in hot, steaming with tender curried potatoes and peas, wrapped in a flaky, buttery, and crispy fried pastry, clearly made by hand with care. You're not gonna find food like this in the freezer aisle, or in just any restaurant, for that matter. It's even worth a drive over the Bay Bridge in rush hour traffic- Which is really saying something, IYKYK.

    Curry chicken with white rice(12) vegetables.

    Konarq replaced Wazwan in the Public Market. Indian food as usual. scoop ready in small pots. all orders come with rice and cabbage salad. . offerings: appetizers, desserts, vegeterian, non-vegeterian, breads, sides, drinks. eats: curry rice (12) -the white rice was fresh and plentiful -the curry wasn't spicy, wasn't as tasty as other places. the chicken was tender, not dry as the norm in some Indian curries. there was a lot of food. didn't finish it all. had the rest for dinner. 3.5 stars possible repeat with another entree. leftovers: -lots of seating in the public market. -parking lot wasn't half full

    I was looking for something affordable and veggie based before heading to the movies at Bay Street. I walked around the entire food hall and settled on Konarq. My pic isn't the most appealing, sorry, but the saag paneer, rice, and cabbage-cumin salad were all so delicious that my plans of saving half for tomorrow's lunch went out the window.

    Chicken Saag (3 stars - meat is slightly on the salty side). I think Wazwan, the predecessor was better
    Daniel C.

    Konarq is the Indian food stall at the Public Market, replacing legendary Wazwan. The website says the crew is the same, and the look and feel of the restaurant is very familiar. So many different colored pots and those amazing aromas. However, I do see some fundamental differences from Wazwan: 1. You have to pretty much pick an entree ($12 or so) and you don't get the freedom of making your own combos. 2. Chicken Spinach was soft and juicy but it was on the saltier side. Good rice and cooked cabbage as sides. 3. Not sure they offer free samples. Would have been nice to try before you buy!

    The bindhi masala was so bad (tasted not fresh and had hard/over cooked pieces) that I had to throw it out.

    Hey Y'all, Went here…read morethe night going into my birthday a few days ago. I totally forgot the name of it, someone took me here, but I hunted it down just to leave a review! THIS IS A GREAT BAR. one of the best I ever been to. Their food is so good, I am still thinking about their prawn street tacos and the prawn flatbread. I wish I had some right now! I can taste it in my mouth, oh lord. They have one of the BEST BARTENDERS EVER, her name is Adela, I hope I am spelling that correctly. She was so beautiful, she had long beautiful dread locks. We talked and she was very welcoming her and Nicholas who birthday was a day before mines, he was so cool. They made sure we had everything we needed and our drinks was to our likings, she was very very informative about our drinks, what was in it, and she even had great detail to the things we wanted/looking for in our drinks. I still can not get off how good the food was. This place is a VIBE, period. Music was on POINT! and its very cute and I LOVE THE HUGE OPEN window, wish I got a pic of it. It wasn't loud, ghetto or dirty, just a nice place to vibe, have a very good drink and great food. I can not wait to come back and see you guys, EVERYONE PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. 1000/10. LOVE YOU GUYS!

    TLDR: food is EXCELLENT. the service and drinks are mid at best…read more very vibe-y, dim-lit, date night type of spot. I tried two different drinks and requested a re-do with less ginger but they both still had this spicy, ginger-y taste-- not for me, personally. and their soft drinks are very limited, only carrying Mexican coke that's $5 a bottle. after we were seated, it took about 15-20 mins before someone checked on us again. and that was kind of the theme throughout the night. but the servers were lovely! maybe someone didn't show for their shift. the food is verrrrry good though. maybe some spicier sauce options would be nice. i think the chutney is the spiciest they have. the white sauce is also very yummy too. would visit again just because the food is that good.

Large Prawns in a delicious coconut cream sauce that had a little kick to it. Every bite was delicious. The Korma is a MUST HAVE.

Very warm, genuine, and inviting. I love it here, looking forward to coming back again and again!

I'm not sure what style architecture it is, but I really like it! We dined in for the lunch buffet and wow, what a crazy good deal! I believe it was around $25 or less? There's a self-serve buffet with around 8-10 items and endless garlic naan by request as well! There were only 2-3 staff members when I went, but boy were they busy! They definitely made sure to check in and were very responsive if you had to flag them down.

Both my mom and I ordered lunch specials, and it seemed to be a good value. I especially enjoyed the naan and malai kofta and the salad was a nice side too. I was not a fan of the chana masala, as it seemed to lack flavor and the sauce was slightly watery. I opted for mild level of spice, since I was concerned the meal would be too spicy, but that was not the case. We also ordered some pappadum along with chicken momos to share, and it was an alright dish, although I did think the filling wasn't quite tasty. The sauce was a nice touch, and helped add a small burst of flavor and a mild kick. Customer service was great and attentive and the restaurant was nicely decorated with a cozy vibe. Overall, our meal was enjoyable and I am glad that there was an option to order lunch specials for weekend lunch. Although, I wished some items were more flavorful or spicy. I'd possibly return to try other items on the menu if I'm nearby or visiting campus. Seems like a pretty solid spot for Nepalese/Indian food!
