This was a random visit at this restaurant while visiting Berkeley, and i had few friends for the lunch. This is by far a restaurant to refrain visiting from in terms of their food which ironically is what people look forward to in a restaurant. Owners of Mehak restaurant doesn't seem to get this simple concept of good food. Its a absolute disgrace from a Indian diaspora perspective to see a restaurant selling food under the disguise of authentic Indian food. .People who seem be raving good reviews about this mehak restaurant,clearly haven't tasted real Indian food . its a blissful experience if one visits the right place. The food we ordered had loads of coloring , salty and absolutely blan...
I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing culinary experience at this restaurant! Despite its location next to a sketchy liquor store, don't let that deter you from dining here. The food was expertly prepared and they paid close attention to our party's specific preferences (one person wanted mild, the other spicy). I brought some guests from the Midwest who are not very adventurous eaters, and they truly enjoyed everything. The Chicken Tikka was especially delicious! The staff were all friendly and welcoming, and I left with a strong desire to return and try more dishes from their menu. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Berkeley. With so many Indian restaurants to choose from,...
Mehak does not offer the very best Indian food I 've ever had but it does over very good food at a price level that makes it one of the very best deals I can remember. If you want to treat your family of four (or more) to great Indian food without buyers remorse, this is the place. My only doubt about the place was the mango lassi, which seemed so neon bright, smooth, and sugary sweet that I wondered if it was made from an instant mix. Note: Mehak does not adjust the heat scale for Western pallets (and egos). I 'm not afraid of ghost chili sauce but took their advice to start with medium rather than spicy and was glad I did. I could have handled something just a tad over medium but not much...
I had lunch at the restaurant and both the food and service were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the mildly spicy dishes, which were perfectly balanced. The prices for lunch were very reasonable. It's a great new spot in the neighborhood! The naan bread was exceptional, with a delicious garlic flavor.

We only ever order pickup or delivery but we love this place. Food is delicious and portions are great. The chicken tikka masala is very creamy and delicious. Their vegetable dishes are top notch! Service is always fast and reliable!Food: 5/5
The Lamb Coconut, Chicken Curry and Chicken Tikka Masala were all great. Our server was very accommodating with our allergies and dietary needs. We will be back!
I would not recommend the mix non-veg platter at this restaurant. The meats were dry, the chutney was watery, and the pakoras were cold and dry.
Friendly, pleasant, clean, airy. Delicious food. Smallish portions and low prices. Two people had lunch for under $15.
