I'm guessing it's because of the tariffs.

My friend from El Cerrito has been coming here for years and took me to eat dinner here but now a new owner has expanded the restaurant space and upgraded the ambiance. The owner greeted us and the service was top tier, friendly, fast and provided all that we asked for, which of course included some mango chutney. My friend had the Pakora dish with chickpeas and was very tasty and fresh. I had the chicken tandoori which has a Smokey tang to them and the jasmine rice and sauces were all excellent. My chicken was moist and juicy and came out steaming on a hot platter. The serving sizes were generous and the price was very reasonable. The owner offered some tasting of Free Kittens beer and it was also delicious and we ordered some. The beer selection is second to none and had my favorite oatmeal stout ! It was quiet and seating was comfortable. I had leftovers as there was so much to eat despite being hungry from moving furniture all day. The menu is expansive and the food came quickly, a definite return choice in East Bay off the beaten path.

I had a craving for goat so I ordered the goat curry (medium spice) and my wife ordered the chicken korma. The goat was so tender and flavorful and they gave so much meat that I actually had leftovers (which almost never happens)! Also, just a tip: that medium spiciness has a kick! We also ordered the Nepalese chicken momo dumplings which were also very good. We ended the meal with my favorite Indian dessert, gulab jamun. They were swimming in sweet syrup and I enjoyed every bite! Great food and amazing service!

Pretty much selfserve, you order & pay @ the front counter, then pick up your food when it's ready - not the best set-up if you are not ambulatory, but I was there to assist ! We also got chai tea, unsweetened but I asked for sugar - it's in a salt shaker ! There is not much decor or style - it's more like "fast food" & the price & quantity are a good value ! But they actually want to go back to try more dishes ! The owner also owns the H Salt Esq. Fish & Chips place next door so you'll see her going back & forth I like that they offer vegan versions & vegetarian dishes !!! so I have many choices there !!

We got the chicken wing appetizers, dumplings, hubby wanted to try a mule and I got a mango lassi. I will say the mango lassi is the best one I have ever had. It's not too sweet, just the right consistency, is really pretty with the pistachios and cardamom sprinkled on top, and just hits the spot for me! The service was excellent. The owner is one of the friendliest guys you will ever meet. He is talkative, welcoming, upbeat, and very friendly! The place is clean, and you can tell the owner really cares about the menu and wants to be sure he has things the customer likes.

There is a ton of decently priced beans, spices, some fresh produce, imported Indian products- even the spicy pickled mango my partner loves! Looks like the place is family-owned and the lady working there was helpful in pointing me to the right direction for spices. Definitely coming back to get more Indian products, try Punjabi Kitchen, and taste the variety of beers at the bar!

I love trying little hole in the wall type restaurants so that I can try something new and different. Nepali cuisine tickles tastebuds and when I saw Wild Boar on the menu, it was over!! I ordered and was really looking forward to trying something new. So... The food gets served and man, talk about depressing. First the portion was tiny for something costing upwards of $17. I'd be generous if there was 12oz. of food on that plate. It was basically "boar", with onions and a flair of cilantro(?). Trying to keep an open mind I pop the first piece of meat in my mouth and good grief!! Tough as nails, impossible to chew, basically hard dry jerky, Also zero sides, no salad or vegetables, just boot leather (color and texture) meat. Did I mention it was cold? Not heat lamp luke warm, just sat on the counter for 10mins cold. So... I swapped it for a hamburger. This was a standard Costco sirloin patty, std. bun, lettuce, tomato, onion. Pepper jack cheese was the upgrade, thankfully, this was served hot. Now I hate to bring up hygiene but at one point the cook walked past us and his BO followed close BEHIND and left an impression... C'mon man, it's a damn restaurant!!! C'MON MAN!!! Now... I just don't get it... In this era of cooking shows, competitions, books, podcasts and celebrities. This world where Gordon Ramsey is EVERYWHERE, how, how, HOW can you not put in some effort!! How can the Owner / Manager allow this?? It was a Friday night, the bar had about nine people at it while the restaurant had the two of us and one other diner. On a Friday night!!!! How do you even stay in business?? Listen, I hope ownership takes note and immediately does something to up their food game. I want them to succeed but if this is the best they can do... Just shut it down. Sad diner, signing off.
