Little Kathmandu
Where the Himalayas Meet the Bay - Authentic Indian & Nepali Flavors in El Cerrito
Our Story
A Taste of the Himalayas
Nestled along San Pablo Avenue in the heart of El Cerrito, Little Kathmandu is a beloved gathering place where the rich culinary traditions of India and Nepal come alive. Every dish we prepare carries the warmth and soul of home-cooked Himalayan cuisine, made with time-honored recipes passed down through generations.
"A real gem amongst the many undiscovered one-off restaurants in El Cerrito."
Our kitchen celebrates the diversity of South Asian flavors - from the creamy, aromatic depth of our Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala to the delicate handcrafted Steam Momo dumplings that are the pride of Nepali street food culture. Each plate is prepared with freshly ground spices, quality ingredients, and genuine care.
Whether you're savoring a complete Thali plate - the quintessential Nepali meal experience with rice, pickle, and seasonal vegetables - or tearing into a warm piece of Garlic Naan alongside rich Saag Paneer, every visit to Little Kathmandu is an invitation to experience the heart of Himalayan hospitality. We proudly serve El Cerrito and the broader East Bay community, bringing authentic flavors to your table.

What Our Guests Say
The Lamb Korma continues to shine. And the Lamb Biriyani made a nice complement to the Korma (we did a bit of mixing and matching between the two entrees). Mango Lassis and Naan breads consistently excellent. Service is always cheerful and prompt. A real "gem" amongst the many undiscovered one-off restaurants in El Cerrito.

Butter Chicken chicken with Garlic Naan is my all time favorite from this place. It's addicting. Creamy, spicy, warm. Sometimes I order it up to 3 times a week because I just can't stop thinking about it. Best meal after a long day of work. 10/10 recommend.
