4 Dreams Nepali & Indian Cuisine

Located at 2429 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA 94704, USA, 4 Dreams Nepali & Indian Cuisine has carved a niche for itself by serving robust, flavor-packed dishes that tell the story of Nepal's diverse geography. It provides a sanctuary from the bustle of Berkeley, offering a space where the focus is firmly on the purity of ingredients and the joy of eating.

When exploring the menu, one cannot help but notice the dedication to authenticity. A highlight of the menu is undoubtedly the Momos. These Himalayan dumplings are a masterclass in texture and flavor, featuring thin, delicate wrappers encasing juicy, well-seasoned fillings. Unlike generic dumplings, authentic Nepalese Momos are served with a tomato-sesame achar (sauce) that adds a nutty, tangy kick, elevating the dish to a new level. The curries here are slow-cooked to perfection, allowing the spices to meld into a rich, complex gravy. From tender goat curry (Khasi ko Masu) to aromatic chicken preparations, each dish showcases the delicate balance of turmeric, coriander, and fenugreek that characterizes Nepalese cooking. What truly sets Himalayan cuisine apart, and what 4 Dreams Nepali & Indian Cuisine exemplifies, is the masterful use of functional ingredients. The spices used here—specifically cumin, coriander, and turmeric—are not just for flavor; they have been used in Ayurvedic traditions for centuries to aid metabolism and immunity.

It is rare to find such consistent praise, but the 5-star average speaks volumes about the dedication of the staff and chefs. The service here aligns with the philosophy of the food—unpretentious, warm, and attentive. We highly recommend visiting 4 Dreams Nepali & Indian Cuisine to experience the true depth of Himalayan hospitality and flavor. Whether you are craving the spicy kick of a C-Momo or the comforting embrace of a warm lentil soup, you will find satisfaction here.
