"Yesterday Nina and I met here for lunch. We parked in the adjacent lot after buying tickets for a play at Berkeley Rep. We were the only people eating in the restaurant during our entire stay. Our server was sweet and accommodating. I was facing the beautiful tomato red wall which holds a giant flat screen TV which was showing videos. The sound was muted. We decided to share an order of mixed momos, vegan and chicken, the ones w/o the soup, as well as lamb biryani w/ the spice level mild. We both wanted tea, but there was none available. However, midway through our meal our server told us they now had tea, so we both got a cup and it was just what we wanted.To our surprise the biyani came out first, accompanied by a bowl of raita. It was delicious, w/ a hint of heat. The lamb was tender. The momos came out slightly afterward, w/ a tomato chutney sauce, I think. When I tried the first two they were a bit hot and I didn't like them as well as I did when they had cooled down. Nina liked them better than I did from the first taste. Because the food was good I called Alan to see if he would like an order of mushroom biryani and lamb kadai, two of his favorites from Delhi Diner. He did, so I brought them to him after we finished lunch. He said later that they were good, but he likes Delhi Diner's better. The menu is very extensive and there's a lot to try. Nina and I were pleased w/ our meal."
