We found Mahak Indian Cuisine via 2G2G and have been back a few times since! Although a small restaurant there are a decent amount of tables for indoor dining. It's clean and open. We've tried their chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, saag paneer with rice and naan. Everything we tried was delicious with deep authentic flavors. There was a generous amount of chicken in both the tikka masala and butter chicken. Their portions are big enough to share with at least 2 people. The mango lassi's are great here too and complement the food perfectly! The prices are quite reasonable for the quality and portion size you're receiving. I was talking to the owner the other the other day about what to order next time...it's been decided, I can't wait to come back and try their fish curry and aloo gobi! If you're lucky, there are a few parking spots right in front of the restaurant. read more

I enjoy the portions here and the staff is always helpful. I order takeout, the food is fresh and warm when I get home and I even have leftovers. I was very pleasantly surprised my first time that I got a big meal. It's quiet at lunch time and I usually get parking right in front. read more

I just enjoyed the most delicious chicken tikka masala here - came with rice, and naan. (Too good to go deal $5.99). My stomach is extremely full and happy right now. Pick up was easy- the owner waiter seemed to lack enthusiasm but that seems common in most restaurants. read more

They have the most amazing butter chicken I've ever had. Their service is also amazing and fast and the owner is extremely nice. The place is warm and comfortable to eat at. Definitely worth a try if you are in Berkeley!!! read more

WOW WOW WOW! Ordered from here on Too Good to Go. After looking at reviews I decided to go for it. Indian food is my Favorite and my go to place is in Concord. When I tell I am an Indian food Snob? That might be an understatement! This place was sooooooooooooooooooo gooood! I think I found my new favorite spot. Please give this place a try! read more

Mehak Indian Cuisine - Be - Indian Near Me - Berkeley, California

A very nice small Indian restaurant in a cluster of south Asian restaurants in south berkeley. The restaurant is cozy and low key fancy. A good place to have a casual dinner date night with your sweetie. Food was good. The samosas were particularly spicy and delicious. I'm a huge fan of palak paneer and .. it was good. Not the best I've had but not the worst by far. The naan were very good and rice was also great. This place is low-key good. Nothing fancy or blow your mind delicious but as I said, great for a date night. read more

Got the lamb vindaloo with a group DoorDash order and it was yum and so well packaged! The sauce did leak out on the corners so make sure that you keep the food upright! It is gorgeous and the rice is so delicious though, definitely a super yummy experience! If you order through DoorDash they pack the food in separate bags which was super neat and orderly! read more

Really yummy chicken Tikka masala and great vibes! Can't wait to try their other dishes, very flavorful.

I too tried this place via the Too Good To Go app (great app btw!). Friendly service from this small restaurant and tasty food and full portions! I wholeheartedly support them and will be back. Thank you Mehak. read more

Fast and polite service but the food was super oily. The oil separated and sat on top of all 3 dishes. My partner said the lamb was good. I liked the chicken tiki masala but it's more tomatoey than what I am used to. Overall - they are good. read more

The food is consistently delicious. The portions are substantial. The cost is reasonable. I eat lunch there at least once a month.

I've tried their food twice from the Too Good To Go app. The first time was curry chickpeas and it came with rice and naan. The second was the Curry chicken. It's small place with about 8 tables, but the staff is pleasant and my food is always ready. There was enough for me to have it for dinner and lunch. The flavor is good, but toned down for non-indian folks and a little too greasy for me as told by the 1/2 oil that was layered on the top. But they don't waste their food and a great way to try a new place. I will be back to eat in person or at least try some other foods on their menu. read more

I got a chicken tikka masala. The owner(?) or manager at the end of the night was so sweet. I did pickup and the food was all safely packed! I will definitely have to come back to sit down and eat in person. read more

Ordered from the TGTG app (highly recommend the app!) and pick up is easy, friendly and fast. Butter chicken or mateer paneer with rice and naan for $6.99. Seating is limited inside. They offer a vegan option sometimes too. Great lunch special. Such a deal!! read more

I don't know if we got unlucky, but when we went, it smelled incredibly bad, comparable to that of a porta potty. It was unbearable, and we had to leave the restaurant within 5 minutes. I would avoid, there are far better Indian restaurants nearby like Noor. read more

I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, which comes with a side of rice, and Plain Naan. The Chicken Tikka Masala tasted delicious, with the tender chicken easy to bite and the sauce was flavorful, creamy and paired well with the rice and naan. The naan was standard, warm and soft and easily absorbed the sauce. For the space, the restaurant is big, clean and welcoming. The staff was also friendly. I will come to try more of their dishes. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but I live across the street from this place and it has been my go-to Indian spot. Great food, and nice people! read more

I had food from Mehak today for the first time and was so pleased. Chicken Tikka masala, one of the better ones I had for sure. Kind service. I'll try more of their foods for sure! read more

I ordered delivery here, and decided to get my money's worth by having multiple main dishes. I ordered navrattan korma, shahi paneer, and mango lassi, and put in the notes/requests to make both dishes mild. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of the rice and pleased by their generosity, though I realize that the amount of rice made sense because I had ordered two main dishes. But still happy to have a carton stuffed full of saffron rice; usually when restaurants provide rice it's white rice by default. Also, the food was delicious. I love the combination of flavors with dairy, and definitely tried to make the food last as long as possible. My one minor gripe is that the containers, which are aluminum foil and covered by thin paper and foil, seem a little prone to leaking at the corners; I saw some of the food stain from that when I took my food out of the bag. It's also tricky to take these lids off and put them back on without getting your hands into the food, which isn't great during COVID-19 if you're not already super prepared with gloves or other tools. read more

Mehak Indian Cuisine - Mango lassi, rice, shahi paneer, and navrattan korma - Indian Near Me - Berkeley, California

The best curries ever. Perfectly seasoned and spiced. I've had their vegetarian curries and chicken tiki masala, and is some of the best I've tasted. I've only ever gotten take out, but excited to bring friends for lunch or dinner. Very kind staff. Cozy atmosphere. I ordered take-out one evening, it was so good that I gone back the next evening to try other items, it was THAT DELICIOUS. read more

I'll start by saying Mehak knows how to flavor their food and the taste is delicious. The service is usually the issue, not the food. I order from Mehak using food delivery apps and they often get the order wrong. I've ordered chicken tikka masala and aloo saag, just to receive only the saag, more times than I can count. It's really frustrating, especially since the food is good, and the chicken tikka is the main dish I look forward to! I don't know why they can't accurately carry out an order. read more

never been to the physical place but my most uber place. i always order a chicken tikka masala and it has never disappointed me, along with a lamb curry dish (recently ordered coconut lamb and it's now my favorite even better than the chicken tikka masala!) and naan. for the price, this place cannot be beat cause of the portions they give and it comes with rice!! apparently a side of rice isn't common around here :( anyways my favorite indian spot and just wanted to write this review because after cheating on my fav (bc it was close), i learned to really appreciate this place read more

Tandoori chicken could use more flavour it's bland no sauce were provided till asked mushroom lamb was ok chicken tikka was bland also Place could use some cleaning dust settled everywhere on the dining furniture. read more

I had lunch here with a friend on a recent weekday. There was only one other table occupied! We sat in a nice sunny window and we both had vegetarian lunch specials. We ordered our food mild, and glad we did as it was still spicy. In addition I ordered nan and my friend ordered a tea. The total bill for the two of us with tax and tip was only $14 each! Incredible deal. Food was very good. Service was good and the restaurant was nice and quiet, perfect for meaningful conversation. I parked right out front. This restaurant has a couple tables that seat eight so this would be a good place for a larger group also. I'll be back! read more

Mehak Indian Cuisine - Table for 8! - Indian Near Me - Berkeley, California

Great food and customer service! one of my favorite indian places!!! Awesome butter chicken

Ordered take out the other day and got chicken tikka masala, mixed tandori (tons of meat in the order) and chili chicken and a few orders of the pickles. Two of the orders came with rice. I always appreciate when these types of restaurants include the rice as most of them tend to charge extra for rice. All of the food was delicious and done well and packaged well. The pickles were a totally different kind of pickle and were inedible to me. They were awful, but that was not my main focus of the meal, so it doesn't effect my star rating. Just a FYI for someone who might be thinking of ordering them. If you are already familiar with this style of pickles and like them, you should be fine. We called in the order and it was ready to go when we picked it up. None of the meat was dry in my opinion and the flavors of each dish were rich and satisfying. I will certainly go back. The rice was also done perfect and was soft and fluffy. read more

I live right off of Solano Avenue in Albany/Berkeley, which features at least five Indian restaurants. I have tried most of them and Mehak, which is NOT on Solano is worth the drive. The food is as good as any Indian restaurant we tried on Solano. But, in addition, its entrees are about $3 cheaper ($14 versus $17). Honestly, I don't know how they do it. They do a lot of takeout, but the dining room itself is generally pretty empty, which suggests to me that it is a hidden gem. Oh, the the beer (by the bottle) is very reasonably priced, too....$7.50 for a 22 ounce bottle of Taj Mahal. Perfect for sharing. read more

This was a random visit at this restaurant while visiting Berkeley, and i had few friends for the lunch. This is by far a restaurant from hell in terms of their food which ironically is what people look forward to in a restaurant. Owners of Mehak restaurant doesn't seem to get this simple concept of good food. Its a absolute disgrace from a Indian diaspora perspective to see a restaurant selling food under the disguise of authentic Indian food. This is pretentious stupid food at best. Michelin stars for the most unauthentic and unhygienic food. People who seem be raving good reviews about this mehak restaurant,clearly haven't tasted real Indian food . its a orgasmic experience if one visits the right place, Mehak is clearly not that one. The food we ordered had loads of coloring , salty and absolutely tasteless.Even a seemingly ordinary restaurant by the side of a non de-script road in India would serve way better food than at Mehak restaurant. I am not writing this critical review under any prejudice,its just that i felt compelled after my experience to advise people to avoid such carcinogenic food for their own health and also this is nowhere close to authentic Indian Food.

Great small restaurant with tasty food! People are super friendly. We ordered two dishes plus rice and roti for two of us and had plenty. The quality was excellent. read more

Big portions and we've loved every dish we've gotten! The place is unassuming but brings it with the tasty!

Mehak never disappoints. One of my favorite Indian spots in Berkeley/Oakland. Some things on the menu I don't see often at Indian or Pakistani restaurants like their Kashmiri naan. I was pleasantly surprised ordered on a whim just to experiment with something new. More sweet than savory. Chicken saag is one of my fav Indian dishes I usually get from pakwan but it's great here. Also their mango lassi is more sour than sweet but really good. Very chill atmosphere too. read more

Delicious neighborhood spot! We had the chicken mushroom masala and the chicken tikka masala and both were delicious! Service was friendly :) read more

The chicken was delicious. The bread was freshly made light and fluffy and paired well with the chicken sauce. 10/10 i definitely recommend

We decided to try Mehak after buying a coupon from Restaurant.com. I have to say we are very pleased. We went there for a Sunday lunch and we tried the vegi samosas, garlic naan, lamb mushroom curry and Aloo Gohbi. We liked everything we ordered. The vegi samosas were great as one order comes with two jumbo samosas and were very filling already. We are giving the restaurant 5 stars because of the good food and service, plus it has white tablecloth and use regular china and utentils, unlike some restaurants which still use disposables even for dining in. With the restaurant.com coupon we used, it was a lot of value. We will come back for sure. read more

The attached photo is from before we ate the food, which is evident because if I had known how good the samosas were going to be, it's the only thing I would have posted a picture of. The picture posted is actually an optical illusion because in reality, the samosas are (each) the size of a medium size baby. To provide context the plate in the front is 8 inches in diameter and the plate in the back (with the massive samosas) are 40 inches in diameter. These samosas are enough to feed your entire family (yes, even the in-laws). One order gives you two samosas (equivalent to 16 king-sized meals). We ate the samosas first and were full for long enough that the rest of the food went bad and we had to throw it away. Let me be clear, these behemoths are not only Brobdingnagian in mass, but also in taste. Every bite caused me to stream tears in pure unadulterated ecstasy. I can only imagine the loving prep work and mountain of spices that went into making these samosas as satisfying as they are. Last night was the first time my son ever saw his father cry. And when we inevitably order from Mehak again, he will see it happen again. One star deducted for not providing enough sauce to accompany the whopping monsters. read more

Very tasty food. I order takeouts from here twice a month and they've never let me down. Great garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and coconut lamb. Each dish comes with a side of rice and they're enough to last me 3 meals when I add in some garlic naan. read more
