I think I've found my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. Everest serves Indian-inspired Nepali cuisine, offering unique dishes like chow mein, momos (Nepali dumplings), and Manchurian chicken, blending Indian flavors with a touch of Chinese influence. On this visit, we ordered the Tawa Okra Fry, and it was easily my favorite dish. If you're an okra fan, this one is a must-try. The smaller okra pieces gave it a nice crunch, and it was packed with flavor. We also had the Aloo Gobi, which was excellent. The potatoes and cauliflower were cooked perfectly and coated in a delicious gravy that paired wonderfully with rice and garlic naan. Another standout was the Chicken Tikka Kabab. It was juicy, flavorful, and simply delicious. The service was top-notch, with the staff being friendly and helpful in guiding us through the menu. The restaurant was also very clean and welcoming. Everest is truly a hidden gem in North San Jose and a place I'll definitely be returning to. read more

Catering experience only. Their Special Gobi coconut is tasty! I normally avoid Indian food as they tend to be too strong in flavor and too spicy, but this Gobi coconut is not spicy at all and it's some kind of coated cauliflower with a creamy coconuty sauce, I ate a whole plate of it. On the other hand, I don't like their Fish 65 as each piece is so small that I couldn't even believe fish meat can be this small size. read more

Everest Cuisine-San Jose - Indian Near Me - San Jose, California

We went there for dinner and even for a late seating, there was still a wait--which really speaks to how good the food is. It's a small, cozy spot with casual seating, quick service, and a unique menu featuring Indian-inspired Nepali cuisine. Every dish we tried was flavorful and satisfying, but I especially loved their house special paneer and malai kofta. I've been craving them ever since. The quality is consistently excellent, and the experience feels special despite the simplicity of the place. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious and comforting food. read more

Loved everything about this restaurant from the moment we walked in. As soon as you're seated, you're welcomed with warm tea or lassi for kids, plus paapad and chutney -- all absolutely A1. The famous Titanic Jhol Momo is a must-try! Served in a fun, boat-shaped platter, it's both visually interesting and delicious. We also really enjoyed the chow mein -- it's not the thick kind, but more like angel‑hair noodles, and the flavor was spot on. You can choose between indoor or outdoor seating, which is a nice touch. The servers were friendly, polite, and made the experience even better. I'll definitely keep coming back to this place! read more

Ordered the veg momo platter and veg chowmein for pickup. The staff was busy handling multiple pickup orders and chatting among themselves, didn't pay immediate attention, and didn't come across as particularly friendly. There were several pickup orders ahead of us. We noticed our order and asked if it was ready; they said it would take another 15 minutes. When we came back, they handed us the same order we had already seen earlier. Veg chowmein: Nice smoky flavor and decent overall. Portion size was decent for the price. However, it felt oily and not particularly high quality. Veg momo platter: The momos were generously filled and had decent flavor, but the outer coating was too thick. The "tandoori" momo wasn't actually tandoori--just red-colored. The deep-fried momo was chewy. Overall, for the price, the food didn't feel justified and wasn't great in terms of quality. read more

One of my favorite meals in a while. I loved the momos - the sauce was amazing, and they were cooked perfectly. Very solid lassi as well. Definitely a fan of the lamb dish, but the star of the meal was the gulab jamun; this was the best version of the dish I've had in recent memory, really amazing. Will for sure return! read more

This place is great. We've been here several times and each time we've enjoyed everything we ordered. Wife loves the tandoori chicken with rice and buttered naan. I order any vegetarian dish extra spicy with garlic naan. Staff is nice and friendly and somehow remembers me and what I ordered last time so I always try something new and exciting. Our go to spot for great food. read more

Great place to get Nepalese food. The menu is huge, so I definitely haven't tried everything on it, but there's a few staples I like coming back to. I like the 12pc momos where you can try a couple different types/flavors (steamed, deep fried, pan fried, tandoori) -- you can get them separately, too. I don't love the noodles they come with; they taste really plasticky. The garlic naan here is great and packaged really nicely in foil, and a few other dishes like the aloo gobi mattar and everest gobi coconut are pretty decent too. The parking is alright, and service is plenty nice too. Overall a decent place with a pretty wide-ranging menu! read more

The food tastes good but it leaves you hungry. The portions are not as generous as the other reviews indicate. I don't know what they were comparing to. Took a picture of the butter chicken and spoon for size/portion comparison. The tandoori chicken half is only two pieces compared to full (4 pieces). I'm guessing a lot of reviews were rewritten with ChatGPT to make it extra or grand. There are many Indians coming to the restaurant so the food must be authentic but too pricey for the portions for me. The service is good otherwise and restroom is clean. read more

Super flavorful. However, I think the spice might not accommodate certain people's tastebuds. Chicken steam momo had thick chewy dough, but overall was seasoned well. Had a good sample of each food and got full after a couple bites. read more

Order: 2 Garlic Cheese Naan Breads 1 Mango Lassi Spicy California Chicken Chow Mein Full Tandoori Chicken Lamb Curry Momo Platter The food was absolutely delicious! Everything arrived fresh and hot, with the spice levels spot on. The garlic cheese naan was tasty, though a little too cheesy for my personal preference a lighter touch of cheese would be perfect next time. The momo platter was a standout--each dumpling was stuffed with a variety of sauces and paired wonderfully with the different dipping sauces. We also received a complimentary shot of chai tea, which was a lovely touch. While the dishes didn't all come out at once, every item was worth the wait. Simply, the food was amazing across the board. The service was decent overall, but there's room for improvement. My party of three wasn't offered menus while we waited to place our order, even though other waiting guests were. Not sure why the inconsistency occurred, but it stood out. The restaurant is small and was pretty packed, so perhaps that contributed to the oversight. We waited about 7 minutes to be seated. Once we were, the service went smoothly. The restaurant is a hidden gem tucked away near office buildings in the San Jose area definitely an unexpected but delightful find. I also loved the photos of the food displayed around the restaurant; they add a nice visual touch and build up excitement for the meal. A flavorful, satisfying experience with a few minor service hiccups. I'd absolutely return and next time, maybe a little less cheese on the naan! read more

Lots of free parking right outside this corner restaurant makes it east for a quick pick up and go. Best part - it's open till 1 am!! So for all the midnight snackers and people like me who cant eat dinner at 7 pm, this is good to know!! The servers are less and you need to get their attention to order and pay. The food came quickly and all are demands of extra sauce, extra onion/ green chilli etc were promptly dealt with and free of charge. This made them earn a good tip :) win win! In $40 (before tip), we got: - free papad with chutney 5/5 - veg chili momos 5 pc - 5/5 - stir fried momos with onion, bell peppers and chilli sauce. Served with yummy orange sauce - chicken chili momos 5 pc - 5/5 - similar to above but i liked the chicken ones more - malai kofta - 5/5 - creamy and smooth. Delectable and tender. It consisted of 4 pcs (balls) and lots of gravy - garlic naan - 5/5 - too good and so soft. 4 big pieces made it shareable Loved everything and definitely coming back to try steamed chicken momos and chowmein next time :) Highly recommended for the taste and value for money. read more

Food wise the taste is delicious. Definitely a good place to check out. I did feel disappointed in the advertised "1/2 tandoori" chicken. They literally give a chicken leg quarter and call it 'half chicken' that's cut in two pieces. It's false advertising imo. Ordering via the website didn't work well for me. It said the food will take 20mins. I went to pick up after 30mins and they still hadn't processed the order yet. Overall it close to 45-50mins to get food. Since they have multiple branches, I would've expected them to figure out efficient ordering . read more

Super tasty food We were here on the weekend and it was pretty busy. We had to wait for about 20 mins to get the table, however the food here is worth the wait. Because of the crowd, service was a bit slow. I honestly detest those green colored veg Momos, that a lot of restaurants in the bay area serve. Momos here were such a welcome change. We had their Titanic Momo plate and it was tasty. Our friends had fish and chicken coconut curry that was good too. Tandoori Roti was nice. The star of the evening was Veg Chowmein though... Loved it! This little place has a great potential for sure. read more

my partner and I were next door looking up places to eat but the aroma of this restaurant had us gravitate towards the door and look at the menu from outside. We ordered the butter chicken and dal makhani with sides of basmati rice, the server explained each menu item is ordered separately. We both loved our dishes, these are our go to orders at any nepalese/indian cuisine restaurants but this is the best one we've ever eaten! 10/10 ! 5 stars ! read more

WOWOWOWOW what a freaking gem! A co-worker recommended this place and I don't know how I haven't been here before (or heard of it) We ordered: - Special Himalayan Steam Momo (Chicken) 10 pieces (6/5) - simple but so flavorful! - Chicken Tikka Masala - Chef's Special (6/5) - sososo flavorful! Would re-order in a heartbeat! - Garlic Naan (6/5) - The BEST garlic naan I've ever had! I wish I had bought some to-go I've had similar food in Nepal and Everest Cuisine has really catered their flavor profile for Americans (not a bad thing). Be prepared to be wow'd (assuming you don't have Himalayan food on the daily) because you will want more! I'm excited to come back and try other dishes! read more

Today we decided to go to Everest for some decent Punjabi food. I know place is known for its indo Chinese food but we ordered veg momos, chicken 65, basket of naan and kadhai paneer. It's a very small place but has the right vibes. You get to see a lot of young people coming there for some good people. Not very expensive. For all this food we paid 60$ including a 10% tip. Food n quantity both good though the paneer kadhai was a little less than expected read more

Over the years, I have been to both their mountainview location and san jose location several times. I almost always came here on those rare occasions to get a late night meal since it was one of the few options open late at night. It's a great option for a late night meal when in a hurry. Although, I would definitely not come here during the day when I have plethora of better options to choose from in the same cuisine. So take your pick. This time I came to the San Jose location and tried the Everest special chicken momo, chicken lollipop, veg chowmein and chilli chicken. The chicken momo's outer covering is quite thick, the meat inside is decent. Nothing special to mention about it. The chicken lollipop was fresh and served hot with a side of some chutneys. The lollipop was a better dish than the momos suprising since their momos is supposed to be their special dish. The veg chowmein was cooked well, lacked flavor, had decent amount of thinly sliced veggies. The chilli chicken wasn't spicy, had plenty of bell peppers and onion but again lacked flavour. One thing synonymous with all their dishes is they all good when served so the presentation is good but they don't taste as good as they look. If only they improve the flavors this place would be a winner. However, I should note that their service is amazing, the staff is very sweet and accommodating. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. My family and I have been here maybe 5+ times and always had an amazing experience. The service, the music, and more than anything....THE FOOD. I've tried so many things off the menu at this point and never had anything I don't like. Their dry Gobi Manchurian is a fan favorite and always so amazing and just the right amount of crunchy. We also got their Chili Chicken and the California Spicy Chow Mein. The chow mein was a new dish for us and it was super good! If it's not spicy enough for you, just add in a healthy dose of the sauces it comes with and it will become even better. If you can't tell by now, this is one of my favorite momo places. I especially love the Jhol Momo and their momo sauce! read more

We found this restaurant by chance after scrolling through yelp for butter chicken, but we ended up loving all the other dishes. The menu is huge so we will definitely revisit whenever we have the cravings for it. Chicken biryani ($15.99) - 5/5 stars. This was the most colorful and flavorful biryani I ever had. It's a quite large portion and the raita served with it made it perfect. Butter chicken ($16.99) - 4/5 stars. Pretty good, however, we were served the butter chicken after the biryani so it felt like it had less flavor. Garlic naan ($3.99) - 5/5 stars. This had so much garlic aroma and flavor, and it was just the perfect texture. It's way better than any other restaurants I've had naan at before. Special Himalayan Steamed Momo ($13.99 for 10 pieces) - 5/5 stars. Also one of the better momos I've had. Overall: 4.75/5 stars. We went later at night and the entire restaurant was full, but the service and food was still great. read more

I absolutely loved the spicy chow mein, it was my favorite dish out of trying the spicy chilli momos, chicken tikka masala, naan, and the chow mein. All the food was seasoned great, I asked for it to be spicy and they delivered. The momos were a bit too crunchy but still tasty, and the chicken tikka masala was more on the sweet side. The staff was friendly and attentive, they had a good amount of seating, and a friendly ambiance. read more

Wow. Flavor bombs, brilliant spice levels and great size per cost!! What else do you need. The Bay Area is no slob when it comes to ethnic food, but there aren't a lot of Himalayan food options. A wonderful fusion of South and East Asian flavors (think Indian food meets low mein) I had a bit of it on the East Coast but was happy to see Everest in a small shopping center near my home. Ordered a smattering of their very large (and Veg friendly) menu to go. The City chicken was slamming and the chicken was not dried out. The tandori momos were very unique and packed with flavor while the classic momos were clean, straightforward and delicious. The goat Biryani was packed with flavors and chunks of meat. The final bill was the best bang for the buck I've had in San Jose in a while. Differently on my rotation when I'm home!! read more

I'd like to start off by saying OMG what a hidden gem in the Bay Area. The absolute best momos I've ever had. My family and I enjoyed 2 different types of momos (veg and chicken), gopi munchorian and paneer butter with naan. Everything was absolutely amazing. As a Punjabi, I can say that the spice level was right on! Will definitely be returning. 10/10 service also (received chai samples for free while we waited for our food). read more

This is by far the tastiest momo spot I have found in San Jose. Significantly better than The Everest Momo. These momos are steamed and then I'm assuming fried a bit which is a game changer. The filling is also very tasty. Food takes a little while to come out but is worth the wait. Staff is extremely attentive and very friendly. Both the samosa chaat and the gobi 65 were also infused with flavor. There is SO much on the menu I'll need to come back each day of the month to try a different item. Highly recommend! read more

I've been to Everest many times. I've gotta takeout from them, I've eaten in, etc. I've tried the butter chicken, tandoori chicken, momo, and some other dishes. They've all been good. My partner loves their naan. I think it's ok. Overall, good flavors. The service on the other hand leaves some things to be desired. Not super attentive. When I eat there, I expect to have to get up at least once to either ask for the remainder of my order or pay the check, or get something that I need. Also, this is the only restaurant I've been where the server blatantly and actively tried to upsell me on a dish. It was wild. The ambiance is cool. Nice decor with all the flags. We sometimes play the game of naming the countries and that kills time (service can be slow). All in all, it's a decent place. Got some stuff to work on if they wish to do so. Can't complain about the food cause it's good and will still probably be back soon. read more

The food was pretty good but I couldn't enjoy it because of the strong smell of chemical cleaning products. I could already smell chemicals when we sat down at our table but then staff sprayed the table next to ours and after that it got really bad. I should've just changed my order to be for takeout, but I was hungry and would have had to eat in my car because I was far from home, so I ate a little bit there. I started having trouble breathing and getting a headache. The ambiance is very casual yet I spent what I might have at a nicer with down restaurant, which doesn't feel as worth it since the place is like an assault on the senses - bad fluorescent lights, loud music, strong smell of chemicals. read more

This is a take out order through uber eats ( comes up as momo magic for some reason). Food : amazing ! Loved the veggie momos and the dipping sauce is very flavorful. The momos on their own were pretty tasty unlike other places where without the sauce it would be too bland. I loved it. The veggie chowmein was great too. Not greasy. Was mildly spiced. Next time I might try the egg chowmein . My husband loved the chicken momo with jhol. Service : Very slow on the pick up order on a Friday evening. Lot of people waiting for their order. Uber eats estimated 18 min for the pickup. We were 20 mins away. Ended up waiting for 1 hr . Thankfully food tasted great read more

This is my go-to place for Indian food! We usually get our food to go, but decided to dine in on this occasion. It was a Wednesday evening so the restaurant wasn't too full. There was a TV playing movies, but it's not too loud. We ordered the steamed vegetarian momos, yellow dal tadka, lamb curry, garlic naan and mango lassi. All the dishes were fresh and piping hot! The waiter even gave us a sample of papadam and marsala tea, which was really good. Usually when we get the food to-go, the quality is good, but dining in, it was even better. Next time I'm craving Indian food, I'm definitely dining in instead. It's in a plaza, so parking is plentiful! read more

Everest Cuisine-San Jose - Special Himalayan Steamed Momo - Indian Near Me - San Jose, California

IMHO Everest Cuisine features Indian, Himalayan/Nepalese food, and my friends wanted to try something new, after our shopping excursion. It was early so we had our pick of tables. After we sat down, we noticed an unpleasant smell of bleach wafting in the air. At least we thought it was bleach. Thankfully after a while, the smell slowly dissipated. Sugam, our friendly and helpful waiter answered our many questions about the food, and actually convinced us to order bigger portions! I knew to check-in on Yelp which gave us a 10% off our order! I showed it to Sugam before we ordered to make sure he would apply it later. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Himalayan Chow Mein w/egg & chicken, a 10-piece Chicken Momo (dumpling), Himalayan Fried Rice, a Lamb kebab dish. Sugam brought us complimentary paper cups of a hot tea which looked and tasted like hot chocolate, but it had a spicy bite to it. I liked it. We also received a basket of some thin, crispy crackers w/caraway seeds and spicy dip. I liked the chow mein and the fried rice, but the chicken seemed a tad dry. Other than that, very tasty. Same with the fried rice. The Momo dumplings were okay, but I am used to a thinner wrap. It was difficult to cut through them. If you like spice, this is the place for you. My husband got the leftovers with all of the spicy dips, and it was very hot for him! Overall, a pleasant dining experience, friendly service, and flavorful food! read more
