"I recently tried the Chicken Momo lapping and Khana set at 4 Dreams Nepal I & Indian Cuisine, and it was a great experience overall. The Chicken Momo lapping was the highlight. The momos were soft, juicy, and well stuffed with flavorful minced chicken. The “lapping” style, covered in a rich, slightly spicy sesame based sauce, added a creamy and tangy kick that made the dish stand out. The sauce was balanced not too spicy, but enough to give a nice warmth. The portion size was generous and perfect for sharing, although I could easily finish it myself because it was that good. The Khana set felt like a complete and comforting meal. It came with rice, dal, vegetable curry, chicken curry, achar, and salad. The rice was fresh and fluffy. The dal was simple yet comforting, with a homestyle Nepali flavor. The chicken curry was tender and well cooked, with spices blended nicely without being overpowering. The achar added the perfect spicy and tangy contrast to the meal. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, just like traditional Nepali home cooking. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Overall, I would definitely recommend 4 Dreams Nepal I & Indian Cuisine for anyone craving authentic Nepali and Indian food, especially their Chicken Momo lapping and Khana set. I will definitely be going back again."
"The Dahl Tadka tasted like thickened grease fat from the bottom of the pan, like you would use to make buskits and gravy. It had no flavor other than fat and salt. I ordered two in hopes that it would be great, but couldn't eat either of them. I have never had such an experience with any Indian Dahl dish before . The soup was very tasty and the broth flavorful. I hoped to have it mild as I was recovering from surgery and was supposed to avoid spicy food. I'll order the soup again when I'm feeling better"

"Amazing value for price! Chai Tea for $2.99 and Gulab Jamun for $3.99 blew me away in terms of flavor and cost. The Onion Kulcha and Chicken Tikka Masala were amazing entrees too, very flavorful. All the items came freshly hot, I even had to wait a bit for them to cool down. I'm usually picky with curry restaurants, but I am so glad I came across this one!"
"I ordered Veg tikka masala and Goat Curry. The vegetables were well cooked, they tasted very fresh (crisp green beans, cauliflower, thinly sliced zucchini, and fine carrots). The sauce was a little bland. The goat curry was very good, the meat was tender and the curry was flavorful. The portions were also good. A good amount of actual meat and vegetables in the curries, and the entrees came with rice! So many places make you buy rice separately."

"A True Taste of India - Absolutely Outstanding! 5-STARS If you're looking for an authentic Indian dining experience, look no further than Noor! From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting ambiance, combined with the aroma of rich spices, transports you straight to India. The food was exceptional! The dishes were velvety and bursting with mouthwatering flavors. The biryani was fragrant and perfectly spiced, the decadent desserts had just the right amount of sweetness, and the presentation was beautifully executed. Every dish was cooked to perfection, using high-quality ingredients and traditional homemade techniques. The service was equally impressive--attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The staff made excellent recommendations, ensuring we had the best experience possible. With generous portions, reasonable prices, and an unforgettable dining experience, this place is a must-visit for Indian food lovers. Can't wait to return! Highly recommend!"
"Quality ingredients and complex flavors. Butter Chicken is good but spicier than most places. If they had a lunch special I would order from here all the time. There's not really a way to get lunch here without getting food for 3+ people. I hope at some point they'll have some offerings for people who work in the neighborhood!"

"Absolutely incredible flavor on the tandoori fish and the wings (5-6) that were also tandoori flavor. "
"The food was very good, especially the Lahori chickpeas and onion naan. I used to visit the now-closed Bismillah in San Pablo and read that this was the same group. It’s not exactly the same, though I preferred the naan and chickpeas here. The lamb chops were overcooked and missing their rice. The Chicken Tikka Masala sauce was excellent. The medium spice needed more heat. but not enough to warrant ordering spicy. The San Pablo Bismallah doesn't give a choice but it was always perfect for my taste. if I go in and order that may be something I can work out. not their fault. My biggest issue was the yogurt-like coating on the meat, which changed the texture and reduced the tandoori char. I preferred the chicken at the old Bismillah. The shop is great, with a fresh meat counter, good products, and lovely staff. I’d return, but may order different meat dishes."

"Samosa Chutney hit the spot! Huge, filled to the brim with perfectly complementary chutneys. Chicken Biryani is good with tender chunks of chicken. It's a tad richer than I'm used to but very good. Vegetarian Family Size with veggie kofta is also good: nice big kofta filled with nice chunky veggies. Roti Side was the sleeper hit!! Sooo good."

"Their ' SAMBHAR ' , South Indian Lentil Soup on the Side is EXQUISITE ' !!! It had quartered squash in there & roasted black mustard seeds !!! All the Chutneys were Gr8 as were the ' Vada ' ( Fried Lentil Donuts ). The ' Curried Potato Filling inside the Dosa / Crepe was good as well, but the Dosa / Savory Crepe could be more ' Brown ' to my liking. All in All though their South Indian Vegetarian Cuisine is a ' Gift to Downtown Berkeley '. Quite Unique. Have dined in and had their Thaali combination Lunch Plate & Madras Coffee. The place is a Gem & Staff are Friendly & Obliging. Highly recommend this ' Local Small Business' post Covid - 19 for genuine South Indian Cuisine !!!!"

Bowl made 2 meals though it coulda shoulda been 3 or 4 days meals. I had to lick the container clean at the end. The samosa was really good and came w 2 dipping sauces. One sweet and spicy, one savory green & spicy. If you like spice and want to eat more chickpeas, order this. Guess I still have to try the Butter Chicken and another Samosa."
