Good atmosphere, service, and food. Went to the Girl and Fig, was sat and that was the end of it. After a while we gave up and left and were very pleased to find this establishment.

We ordered paneer tikka masala and the lamb curry. We enjoyed the flavors of both! The paneer here is fantastic and really soft. I will say that the spice scale is definitely on the mild side here. I was nervous to get spicy because I wasn't sure how the spice scale here is. So we got mild for one of the curries and medium for the other and they both weren't spicy whatsoever. So I would definitely go ahead and get spicy next time! In fact, I overheard another patron order extra spicy lol. The meals came with a delicious soup. Tasted like lentil soup! It also came with rice or upgrade to naan. We tried both options and both paired well with the curries. I always prefer naan and really enjoyed theirs. It's well seasoned. The pricing is a little on the steeper side.

What a cute place! So thankful to have it in Sonoma. TONS of vegan options, pretty much everything that doesn't explicitly say it has meat or paneer in it, and my server gave me a wonderful recommendation. I got veggie momo and the alu bhanta! The alu bhanta comes with rice and I also added chickpeas to it. DELICIOUS. Such a beautiful, rich curry sauce. And the momo were so fun with a great tomato chutney. The waitstaff was attentive and kind. I will definitely be back!

The people here are very nice. They want you to have a great experience. We all ordered lunch. It got to the table quickly! We all ordered medium spice and it was perfect! I loved how the prayer flags were hanging outside the window in this photo! The lighting is nice and there's so many nice pictures of the Himalayas. You feel like you are really there.

Paneer Tikka masala and naan was very good. The daal could be given a little more flavor. Service is friendly and hospitable. Great location in the alley with live music and dancing. Moderately priced. Decent quantities. But a credit card fee was sus! Over all, nice place.

We came here on a Tuesday at 6:15pm. The inside dining area was clean and we were the only customers inside. There were a few tables outside with customers. We ordered the Chana masala and the vegetable tandoori with rice and naan with an additional order of garlic naan. Dahl soup was good. The naan was perfectly cooked and servved fresh. The veggie tandoori was served on a sizzling plate and delightful. The Chana masala was nicely seasoned and probably could have been slightly hotter. It's been a while since we have been here but we are happy to return as the service and the food are something we keep coming to Sonoma for :).

This is my go-to Himalayan place and one of the best restaurants in Sonoma!! The service is excellent; they are friendly, quick, and always looking to make our evening special. The food is delicious! I love spicy food, and this is one of the only restaurants in the Napa Valley Area that knows how to make spicy food. The last I was here, I got the chicken and vegetables monos and salmon tikka masala. The Tikka masala is my favorite! For drinks, I usually get the mango lasso and a beer (Flying Horse), which are both really good and a great compliment to the meal. Overall, if you like Himalayan/Indian food or want to try something different, this is the place to go to in Sonoma!

To go order review only. Ordered online and my order was ready for pick up at the time it said it would be ready. Everyone here is always super friendly. Food was delicious! They give you a little soup to start I think it's lentil very mild flavor but very tasty. The tikka was so creamy & flavorful. The saang paneer was really good as well. I like to mix both together. Their cilantro naan is the best perfectly cooked. All the food was still hot when I got home which is always a plus with take out. Will definetly be back soon
