Was craving some delicious Momo and this place did not disappoint. The food was incredible and freshly made. I was very impressed with the garlic, spicy pepper sauce that came with the Veg C Momo dish. Every bite was savory and had a little kick to it. This is def a dish that needs to be tried. My partner and I also ordered the Saag Paneer, which had a creaminess to it. It tasted all natural with delicious spices. Def one of my fav dishes here. Only thing missing was the spicy factor. I enjoy very spicy, hot pepper dishes and that was the only thing I would add more of. My partner also wanted to try the Tandoori Tikki Paneer, which came with lots of paneer and a variety of grilled veggies. Very delicious and tasty. This was also missing the spiciness factor. I wanted to try a meat dish and went with the Chicken Biryani. This had a mild spice level but the flavors were impeccable. The meat was cooked to perfection. Each bite of chicken was so soft and the rice complimented each bite. They gave a large portion so I def have left over for the week. The staff here are super friendly and very helpful with choosing dishes. During our time here my partner accidentally broke a glass when he knocked it over and the staff were quick to help us. They didn't make us feel bad at all and again were just the loveliest ppl to be around. Lots of tables and seating inside. The space is large and very clean. I def wanna come back for more Momo and to try more dishes.

Ordered Aloo tikki chaat and Veg chowmein. Aloo tikki was really good - tikki was crispy with flavorful chole and chutneys. Veg chowmein was one of the best I had in east bay. Definitely my go to place for indo Chinese food.

Our second visit and continues to please. Our first visit was a great experience. Our waitress was patient and walked us through the best suggestions.... And we loved it. We returned and again the mix of flavor and spice was absolutely wonderful, everything we had hoped for. Continues to be so good. Reasonably priced, great and hospitable service and wonderful family oriented atmosphere with a good amount of options.

Amazing food and great service. We had Veg Thali, Veg Jhol momo and noodle soup. Everything tasted great specially thali. Loved the veggies in thali and the fact that you can get a refill on selected veggies and rice. Will definitely come back again.

What a find!! Delicious authentic Indian and Nepalese food right here in San Ramon. When you walk into a restaurant and it's full of people at 9pm, it must be good! The restaurant looks small from the outside but they had many tables for seating. There were actually 2 large families sitting at long tables inside when we walked in. We didn't know what to expect. We've eaten Indian food before but not Nepalese. They serve chicken, buffalo and goat. They also have a few fish and seafood dishes, and lots of vegetarian options. We ordered: Chicken Momo - Chicken dumplings with momo chutney. Looks like potstickers but more flavorful. That chutney was so good! Thakali Thali Chicken was recommended by our server. It is a traditional Nepalese dish. What a big gorgeous aromatic plate of food that can be a complete meal for 1 person or a dish that can be shared. A bowl of basmati rice surrounded by little bowls filled with chicken curry, some kind of potato and bamboo shoot stew, stir fried mustard greens, black lentil, pickled cucumbers, a little bowl of ghee (to pour over your rice - omg! Talk about yum!!), and a gulab jamun for dessert. Butter Chicken - The sauce was so creamy and rich! Loved this over rice. Chana Masala - This tangy garbanzo bean dish was full of flavor and spices. Butter Naan - fluffy and buttery. Also comes in garlic and cheese. Gulab Jamun - This is like a donut hole in a sweet floral syrup. Because the one in our thali chicken was so delightful, we had to order more. The service was lovely. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. We probably had 4 different people check on us. Even though they had large parties, the service didn't miss a beat. Food arrived timely. Definitely plan to return.

First off, the food was great! I had the chicken chili momo, which was fantastic. I asked for chili sauce and they had a green and red chili sauce that complimented the dish nicely. Service was excellent. The server was very friendly and confirmed with me a few times that I indeed wanted very spicy momo! My only advice is if you crave super spicy food, be sure to stress that and also get the chili sauces. The samosa and garlic naan were nice, but the winner in my book was the momo. Interior of the restaurant is nice. Ample parking in the area and enough seating that larger parties could come in.
