    First time trying Nepali food in Ohio! At first we were a bit nervous about the place because the outside photos didn't look very nice but inside was nice and bright! We ordered chicken Jhol Momo, steamed Momo and vegetarian c Momo. Overall I think the momos could have more flavor and be more soicy. My favorite ended up being the c Momo for this reason. My second favorite was the steamed and then Jhol. The service was quick and fast!

    The exterior of the place is unassuming, but the decor inside is lovely, and the tables are covered with white tablecloths. And most importantly, the food is DELICIOUS. For lunch, my friend and I split a pani poori appetizer, thali with goat, and chicken jhol momo. Before our appetizer arrived, the server presented us with complimentary bowls of lentil soup. The soup was warm, flavorful, and comforting, perfect for January weather. Next came the pani poori. The little crispy balls were served cold and made for refreshing & tasty treats. They were great on their own and even better when dipped into the accompanying "sour water," which was a bit spicy and equally refreshing (FYI - the sour water is heavy on the cilantro, so if you don't like cilantro, just be aware!). The thali came with an abundance of food, and we enjoyed almost everything on it. The platter came with a few different curries that were all delicious and well-spiced. One of them had a good portion of tender goat, and another had fried cauliflower and potatoes I couldn't get enough of. The thali also came with a scoop of rice. When we were done with the scoop of rice but only halfway done with the curries, the staff was sweet enough to bring us an extra plate of rice to soak up the rest of the curries. The platter also came with a piece of gulab jamun, which was sweet and rich. In addition, the thali came with a small serving of mango achar. I took a bite, and the pickled mango took my tongue on a journey, LOL. First, I got hit with the super saltiness, then the super sourness, and finally the lingering, intense spiciness. I can't say the mango achar was to my liking, but I don't regret trying it! The chicken jhol momo was fantastic as well, and I couldn't get enough of the tender steamed dumplings and that excellent broth!

    Had cafe Everest for the 2nd time and wow it's truly so so delicious. We get a bunch of entrees and share family style and even when we get it to go it tastes fresh and hot. Strongly recommend ordering the pani puri, chicken johl momo (my favorite), chicken biryani, and of course, Naan. I haven't eaten inside yet but it seems spacious and casual, a good place to grab a meal with friends or family.

    If you're looking for amazing Nepali food, this spot is an absolute gem! The flavors are incredibly authentic, and everything we've tried has been delicious, but the momos? Next level. Perfectly steamed, packed with flavor, and paired with the most delicious dipping sauces--easily the best we've had outside of Nepal. Beyond the food, the service is top-notch--warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance is really nice too, making it a great place to sit, relax, and enjoy a meal. Honestly, I secretly hope this place doesn't go viral because the food is so good, I want to keep it to myself--but they truly deserve all the praise and appreciation. If you love authentic Nepali cuisine, this place is a must-visit!

    My time here was right after they had just completed a remodel and the inside looks great! Everyone's food that came out was fresh looked delicious! The lentil soup was definitely the best I've ever had, and the curry's were awesome.

    Pani Puri. Don't miss it! Absolute perfection.

    The food quality and experience is always reliable. Delicious and flavorful without being overly spicy. Just the right amount of tasty. The service is always welcoming and the environment warm and friendly. Chai, rice, naan, and daal are always a delight.

    I had a delicious Nepalese meal here with a group of about 25. The owner was delightful and came out to talk to us about the food and how he started the restaurant. Props to our server who was friendly and efficient. The dishes were a parade of complex flavor and spice blends and many of us shared so we could try different things. Not pictured is the Roti bread which I would highly recommend. Don't miss the Dry Aloo Dum appetizer! I can't wait to return to try more on this extensive menu.

    First time trying Nepali food. The momos were excellent. I keep craving it over and over again. It has flavours that ooze in your mouth. The noodles were a bit dry. The place is very clean and ample amount of seats. They were super busy. The service when provided was good, but it was super slow. The food took a while to come out. The servers probably need more training on checking on the guest in timely manner, taking timely orders and bringing the checks. Maybe they just need to hire more help.

    Highly highly recommend this Nepali/Indian restaurant. It's a relatively unassuming looking restaurant from the outside but the food here was fantastic. I ordered a vegetable pakora (highly recommend - very crispy and with a huge serving size for an app), chicken jhol momo (chicken dumpling in a delicious broth), and goat thali (a little salty, but very balanced portions and it was still satisfying). They also started us with a lentil soup on the house. Service was fast and very friendly. Will definitely be visiting again.

    I found a diamond in the rough! I got lamb curry with rice and lentil soup! it was sooo good! They let me dine in at even though they were about to close in 20 min for lunch at 3:30 and open back at 5. The host had good vibes

    I'd never had Nepali food before and I was missing out because it's really good! We started with the samosas (4/5) and the sel roti (3/5 - the dip/soup was the best part). We then had the jhol momo (4/5), the fried momo (3/5), and the butter chicken (score TBD, we ended up having to box it right up and take it home because our babysitter was about to leave). I love how vegetarian friendly they are! Now to the reason I'm giving them 3 stars: we came in at 6:15pm with a reservation and were seated right away. About 30 minutes later, when we hadn't even been given water, I walked up to see if we were supposed to order at the counter and I was told no, they will come take our order but they can't do it right now. About 20 minutes later (honestly as we were googling other dinner places nearby) the waitress finally came and took our order. She was very nice and I could tell she was overwhelmed, I definitely felt for her! She told us it would be about 25-30 minutes to get our food and we ordered. We got our first app 45 minutes later and the rest of the food trickled out over the next hour. I totally get they were overwhelmed, I just saw a ton of to-go orders go out the door and very few orders making it to tables so I wish they'd prioritize people dining in over takeout.

    30 July 2022 (Saturday) -- As I sit here by the pool at a vacation house in Naples, Florida, I figured I would write this review now. Don't let the outside of this Nepalese restaurant fool you because the food inside is very delicious. I visited for the first time on 26 June 2022 (dine-in) with a new friend, Nihal, and then I came a second time on 14 July for a takeout order. I will definitely be back again. FOOD -- For my first visit which was dine-in, I ordered the Chicken Biryani and I shared the vegetable momo with my friend. The Chicken Biryani was as expected - tasty, heaps amount of chicken was in the huge bowl, and some cilantro leaves were placed on top. It had thick slices of onions on top which I removed because I hate onions. I've had chicken biryani many times before at other restaurants and also because I have alot of Indian friends so I was happy it tasted just as I preferred. It also wasn't spicy at all but you should definitely ask the restaurant about spice leaves in case you are weary about spice (I just happen to like spicy foods). The vegetable momo was definitely my favourite which I shared with my friend. it was soft like a dumblings and the momo sauce was amazing. I wish I knew what was in the sauce but it had almost a thick consistency. We also ordered the Poori (bread) to share which was soft and had some sort of oil or butter on top. For my takeout order in July, I ordered the chicken biryani again and also the Aloo Gobi which is a peas and cauliflower mixture that can be eaten with naan bread or rice (Cauliflower, potato and peas cooked with tomatoes sauce, herbs and spices). I ate mine with rice and it was delicious. This is a great option for vegetarians. The chicken biryani was also good but it had too many thin slices of onions which is just a preference thing because I just hate onions (LOL) so I had to remove the little onion slices. SERVICE -- Dine-in and takeout had efficient service. For dine-in, my friend and I probably waited about 25 mins to get our food. For the takeout order, it was about the same time. INSIDE/DECOR -- As you walk-in, the inside is a medium size dining room with white table cloths and the chairs are covered in a red material. I loved that they served water in a clear glass bottle which reminds of the classy/fancy restaurants. There are minimum decorations on the wall but there are some mirrors and a maybe few picture frames. I'll definitely be back in the future and I recommend Cafe Everest to everyone for lunch or dinner. They have vegetarian and meat (chicken, lamb, fish) options. **** - 52/150 total reviews in 2022 - 530 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 July 2022

The guy at the register was very helpful with the menu and suggestions. They were quick to make our food and we enjoyed it there. They make smashburger style meat for their burgers and it was nicely seasoned. The texture was on the dry side though. The buns and toppings were great. There fries were also very nice, crunchy, and spiced well. This is mostly a carry-out joint, but they have a couple of tables inside to eat at. Overall, nice place for lunch.

But whoever is grilling the burgers at the other location is who is keeping me coming back. Other than that, other location is farther from me, it's worth a drive. What I really like about this place is the fresh meat and the disclaimer about the meats and how it's prepare. Well, I didn't like this time around is at the meat lacked seasoning, and the meat did not have that crispy edge or the juiciness in comparison to the other location. Unfortunately, I will not be back to this location unless I'm really thirsty for a good burger. If this is your first time at this location, then yes it's delicious. It's one of the best burgers in Cleveland. If you visit the other location first you're definitely gonna be disappointed when you go to this one.

Unlike most other cuisines, with which I am extremely adventurous and not only willing, but look forward to trying new things and experimenting. I am a bit timid with Asian cuisine. I find it a bit challenging to navigate their typically extensive menus. Based on a recommendation from a foodie I hold in high regard, we went to "Han Chinese Kabob & Grill" last night. I was informed it is a small establishment so we called for reservations. We were told they do not take them and to be assured of a table we should arrive early. So we showed up before 6pm to a basically empty restaurant. We were seated quickly by a pleasant young woman that spoke no English at all. When we ask a question she went off right away to find our server for help. Within the next 15 minutes the dining room went from empty to full like someone had thrown a switch. It remained that way the entire time we were there. Very soon a wonderful young woman arrived at our table. She provided water, answered several questions, and took our orders. She was very pleasant and professional. I ordered an excellent brown sugar milk tea along with a great cucumber salad and marvelous lamb chops. Some of the meatiest chops I have ever had. Just about everything is available with any level of heat you desire. I am typically very reserved when it comes to spicy foods. I find it hides the true flavors of the ingredients so I always order with no heat. My entire meal was prepared perfectly. My wife and our guests felt the same way about their selections. There was plenty of food to take home for another meal. Our final surprise was when we received our bill and discovered how affordable it was to eat so well. We had an excellent experience and enjoyed our stay very much. We will definitely return.
