Reviews for Venus solano in Berkeley, CA
We ordered takeout last night and it was great! We got chicken tikka masala, lamb biryani, and the Brussels sprouts appetizer.... All was super flavorful. I prefer my chicken tikka masala a little spicier, but I forgot to ask them to make it spicy. They gaveus a free dessert, tiramisu, which was super nice of them as well! Read more
This has quickly become my favorite eatery for wonderful Indian food with lots of alternatives for people with restricted... diets, like me. My favorite is the warm salmon kale salad. Delicious! It's so good, that's all I ever order, althoughtonight I added the vegan asparagus soup, which was fantastic. My friends and family say the traditional Indian dishes arefabulous, as well. I have not tried them myself. We are always greeted with a big welcoming smile and receive outstandingservice. Thank you Venus! Read more
I had Chicken Korma. It was delicious. Their lentil soup is deep and soulful.
Friendly neighborhood spot. We shared a few Indian dishes and enjoyed them all.
Absolutely wonderful breakfast! Polenta with grilled veggies and poached eggs with a homemade biscuit Was good enough to inspire... a 5 star review. Excellent service and East Bay Worthy latte. Made my day. Read more
Great service and excellent lamb Indian dish and very good brunch. Great waiter! Will return!
After turning in our order and waiting for at least 20 minutes, finally got the attention of one of the 3 waiters in the nearly... empty restaurant and asked about our order (salad, omelet). We were told the order had been lost by the kitchen, but they couldhave it ready in 10 minutes. We were given a small bowl of fresh fruit and 10% off our check, and the food was okay, butinexcusable to leave patrons unattended for so long. Doubtful that we'll go back. Read more
Both the brunches ("American eclectic") and the Indian foods are delicious. I love the fresh hot naan. For breakfast I... especially recommend the challah French toast (get it with the berries!), the lemon-ricotta pancakes for a really richindulgence, and the farmer's omelette, which is chock-full of vegetables and easily makes two meals. The Indian brunch plate isan interesting and tasty option if you're looking for something really different for breakfast. They have just started servingvery reasonably priced delicious lunch specials including a rice plate, a naan wrap, and a naan pizza. The interior is beingreorganized during the pandemic to-go-only period, and it looks like the buffet table isn't coming back. Please bring it back,you guys! I loved that buffet!! The owner, Deepak, manager Jaggi (sorry if I'm misspelling the name), and the other staffmembers are really customer-friendly and welcoming. Read more
