Today was my second time visiting Everest Kitchen. I was promptly and kindly greeted as I walked in and took a table. I was taken care of quickly with a menu and request for drink order. Within a reasonable time my order was taken by a second server who was very friendly. I ordered the VINDALOO Chicken dish with a side of garlic nann and Tai Iced Tea. It didn't take long before my order arrived and I was enjoying a very nice late lunch! I will definitely return as many times as I can and will highly recommend Everest Kitchen to anyone and everyone. Vindaloo Chicken, Garlic Nann, read more

Everest Kitchen - VINDALOO Chicken with Garlic Nan and Tai Tea. - Indian Near Me - Wendell, North Carolina

I took my wife there for her birthday as her eye doctor recommended the place. We got there and no other diners were there. We had great table by the window to look out at all the happenings. We ordered MO MO dumplings and Samosas as appetizers. While waiting the waiter bought elephant wafers, a thin crispy wafer and 3 different sauces for spreading. I am now hooked on elephant wafers and spread. IT was great. The dumplings and samosa's were awesome. Now our food arrived, my wife had lamb kabobs as big as my fist and they were still sizzling on a bed of peppers and onions. The rice and sauce came out and I tasted the lamb, it was soooooooo tender and great tasting. I ordered Balti with chicken that came in a copper type bucket, along with garlic naan. Can you say FAB-U -LUS. We washed it all down with Thai iced tea. I have traveled professionally to too many countries to name and count and have eaten in all. This place is in my top 5. The service was great and the food amazing. I can't wait to take a few friends. read more

Limited seating. Decor was alright. Service was mediocre. Lost 1 star because I ordered the lunch special that was supposed to come with a spring roll, as written in the menu, and they would not serve it to me. They lost the second star because they tried to charge me for dinner when I ordered off the lunch menu. The food was decent but the chicken was pre cooked resulting in it to be tough and dry. read more

What a great spot! I was SO PLEASED with the friendly and kind service, fantastic menu/food options, and the comfortable and hip atmosphere. My friend and I had the Mo:Mo dumplings to start and they were delicious! We then shared Chicken Tikka and Lamb Saag - both were very good! We also had naan - both garlic and plain. I was happy with our meal and plan to go back. I hadn't been to downtown Wendell before and it was a pleasant experience. (We loved the General Store too!) Yeah. Definitely recommend. read more

Everest Kitchen - menus on the wall of the restaurant - Indian Near Me - Wendell, North Carolina

Tried it on a whim for date nigh dinner with hubby. Did not disappoint. Hubby got pork fried rice with pineapple and I ordered the drunken man noodles. Mine was amazing!! His was exactly what you would expect from fried rice. We also ordered some Pad Thai as a safety net backup. Really good!! The sauce is not like what other restaurants have served us but still tasty! We will return!! read more

Amazing food every time. Love the curry and pad Thai. Great staff as well. Def recommend.

I agree with the other reviewer. There is a foul stench permeating in the entire restaurant. The stench hits you as soon as you walk in. It smells like a water/sewer issue. Consequently, with all of the good reviews, we decided to stay. Wow!!!! I need to ask - where are these reviews coming from??? Family members?? Friends?? We ordered the chicken tikka masala, general tso chicken, and spring rolls. The spring rolls were fried so hard they were hard and inedible. The two entrees were so bland and tasteless!! I also had a piece of gristle or uncooked chicken in my masala. I couldn't tell because the sauce concealed it. Our waitress seemed like her parents made her work on a holiday weekend. She was not interested in the patrons. At. All. I would not recommend nor return. I have had better masala in my kitchen and general tso's chicken from a carry out. Definitely not restaurant quality food. read more

Very good food here! The Indian food does not disappoint. We enjoy this place regularly enjoying several of their culinary delights. The service is good and the staff is attentive. This jewel is tucked away in downtown and the dining area is small but sufficient. Additionally, they offer Chinese dishes, which are also very tasty. read more

Granted it was a hot day but it was hot and stuffy inside. Only our table and one other and 2 wait staff so we had our own waitress. You would assume the service would be good but it wasn't. Out of drinks and she never followed up to see how the meal was. She was sitting about 10 feet from us with her nose in her phone. After we ordered we noticed the 87% sanitation grade. Food was pretty good despite the naan being pita bread. Since we love Indian food I may go back to get some instead of driving into Raleigh or Cary for it. read more

We have eaten there several times. The food is outstanding and the people are very nice

I read the mixed reviews and put off going back to this place. My first visit we walked in and walked out, was way too crowded and yes there were flies in there. But yesterday I was on my way to get a slice of pizza at the local place nearby and a couple was eating out on the sidewalk area. I asked and they said it was very good. I decided to give them a try as I have been craving Indian food for a while. I ordered it as Take-Out. Got the Lamb Vendaloo medium spicy with a side of Garlic Nan bread. Got it home it was WONDERFUL!! I could not finish it and ate the rest the following day. If I was to eat there, I would opt for outside seating with a view of the happenings in Wendell. My food was great, waitress was friendly, there nothing to worry about here folks I give them a thumbs up. read more

Small restaurant in Wendell, but the food is good. Service may be a little slow sometimes. I really liked their Indian vegetarian options.

I'd never expect to find good Indian food here, but here it is. The food here is delicious and I hope to sample more of the menu in the near future. read more

Came in for lunch on a Monday with only one more table of customers. I was able to sit where ever I like. Ordered Palek Paneer lunch special. The couple before me raced about their order of Drunken noodles and Chicken Tikka. My order came it's steamed rice and a good serving of Palek Paneer I requested for mild and it was really good with a good serving of cheese cubes. I ordered a dessert of Gulab Jamun which just had the right amount of sweetness. The server was very nice and they even refilled my Coke. All in all it was a good experience. read more

Wings are super soggy. Pretty sure they nuke them. Menu says blue cheese come with but when I ordered they said they did not have any blue cheese dressing.Was hanging out at the brewery next-door luckily another restaurant down the street had some blue cheese dressing. I'm leaving this review so nobody ever purchases wings from this place again. read more

We ordered the chicken mo mo for an appetizer. Very good dumplings. We ordered chicken pad Thai and curry chicken as our meal. They both presented beautifully and tasted good. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is more like a hole in the wall not a night on the town as you can see from the picture. read more

Not sure what changed, but the naan had a disconcerting smell and flavor. Made me wonder if the food served to us went bad.

Been here several times. Usually ok but tonight I got take out and ordered 3 Chinese dishes. They were slimy! I have never had Chinese food that was slimy. Literally long slimy strings. Yuck! Won't be going back. read more

The service was amazing! Very friendly and attentive! The food was even better! There are many dishes to choose from! Try the mango lassi on a hot day! Very refreshing! read more

Great food and excellent service. I came here twice for lunch this week. Roasted garlic chicken was Cooked perfectly were spices delicious. Highly recommend. read more

First time here. The menu is Indian, Chinese, Thai & American. I ordered chicken tenders, which comes with fries, and a side salad. The chicken tenders were a couple chicken breasts cut in half, breaded and deep fried. They were crunchy and very tasty. The side salad was fresh and large. My wife eat the fries and said they were good. The service was attentive and helpful. I can see Thai and Indian food being served. It looks great with large portions. read more

We drive from north Raleigh to come here (passing some pretty good Indian and Thai restaurants). Excellent food, especially the Chicken Korma--maybe the best I've had anywhere. Pad Thai is also excellent. A specialty restaurant in a small town that survived Covid--that should tell you something... read more

Portion sizes leave a bit to be desired but good quality. There also a fair amount t of seating if you chose to dine in instead of carry out. read more

Stop thinking about it and just order. This place is great. We usually go with Thai or Indian but sometimes order the Chinese dishes too. Just do it now. read more

The food is incredible and the staff are supper friendly! We drive from Clayton all the time to eat there. Open up an Everest Kitchen in Clayton!!! Please! read more

I used to love this place but my past few visits have me convinced the restaurant is going downhill. I had never noticed before but lately there's been an awful smell that fills the entire dining area making it impossible to eat in peace. Sometimes the food is delicious and sometimes it's burnt and overcooked. Sometimes the restaurant seems clean and sometimes there are 10 or more flies trying to land on your food. Sometimes the service is decent and sometimes it's terrible. The overall ambiance is completely off and unfortunately at this point I'd rather just go to another restaurant. read more

Went during lunch time and had the tikka masala and chicken 65. Both were nice and delicious! They do have lunch specials but you have to eat in , in order to get lunch pricing as an FYI. Will def return! read more

Excellent Thai food - especially if you like spicy (which I order and they prepare perfectly). Great portions and service. Favorites: Wok Holy Basil, Drunk Man Noodles, Tom Yum Soup read more

We came hoping to have some good indian food. Well it was an unpleasant experience. The service was terrible. Rude servers and mediocre food. I will be taking time to drive into wake forest to the Curry House to eat. The chicken korma was not authentic and the non-was pita bread do not waste your time coming to this restaurant take the extra 20 minutes and drive into wakeforest where you can get quality Indian food.. read more

I had a long, flowery review of this place back when it first opened, but it looks like that page got taken down and replaced with this one. So I'll be brief and to the point. This place is the best thing to happen to Wendell. You get not only Indian, not only Thai, but even Chinese, and even some American dishes -- and they're all *phenomenal*. (Well, I haven't really tried the American stuff, I figure that's just there for when you've got some picky eaters or kids in the group.) This is the only place where I've ever felt inspired to rave about an eggplant. Yes, eggplant. It was in the green Thai curry. Just a chunk of eggplant, nothing seemingly special about it. But when I bit into it... wow. Just *the* quintessential eggplant flavor, a flavor I wasn't even sure I liked until now. So simple but so perfect. read more

Everest Kitchen is a treasure in Historic Downtown Wendell. Chinese, Thai and Indian dishes in a casual atmosphere. Very nice staff! Had the Ramen and Drunken Noodle, yum! read more

The food was great I ordered the curry lamb. The food was tasty and the service was great. Went for a late lunch. Nice hidden spot.

I loved this restaurant! Will be coming back for sure. I got thai food and my husband got Indian food. The vegetable samosa was delish!!

Update: I've been back a dozen more times and each time was fantastic. The Thai green curry is amazing. My new favorite is the Tikka Masala. Sooooooo good!!! I was skeptical at first because they have so many cuisines on the menu, but wow, this place is GOOD! I've eaten there twice this month and each time my food has been delicious. The Thai food is really excellent. I've had the dragon noodles and the Pad Thai. It's hard to pick a favorite. The portions are quite big so ask for a take away box. I'm so excited to have found this little gem in Wendell! read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant of Eastern Wake County. I came for the Thai red curry and shrimp which is incredible, and have worked my way down the list, trying things I've never had before. The paneer Tikka Masala is life changing. They even make the paneer (cheese) in house. Service can sometimes be slow, but rushing through a meal is overrated. If you've got somewhere to be and no extra time to kill, just sit at the bar for quick service! read more

The food was OK and the portions were a good size. But like an earlier posted review, the dish I ordered said it came with a spring roll. But it never came and when I asked about it the waiter said. "we don't do that anymore". He had zero concern that the menu promised something that they wouldn't honor. When I pressed, he said I could order it off the appetizer menu if I wanted one. He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with not providing what was on the menu. I probably won't go back because I am not sure they are trustworthy. read more

Had an order of chicken wings to go wings were crispy but they were frozen not fresh also no blue cheese gave me prepackaged ranch you would find at a walmart deli. Should not serve wings if your not going to do it right. This place has good food but not wings read more

Came here with some friends on the way back from a business trip. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, it's kinda hipster with the graffiti on the wall, not your traditional Asian restaurant. There was a very unpleasant foul odor in the restaurant the entire time we ate, it was hard to enjoy your meal. The server was pretty rude and bumped my chair twice without saying excuse me which I thought was rude considering the bumped moved up up on the table. The food was decent, I would likely not return but they had really good reviews and people I was with seemed to enjoy the food. read more

Everest Kitchen - Chicken Lo Mein - Indian Near Me - Wendell, North Carolina

First time trying this restaurant. The menu looked interesting and offered Indian, Thai and Chinese. As I have had excellent Indian and Chinese since I moved to the RTP, I gave the Thai a go. Thai Green chicken was nice. Thick creamy sauce ( more similar to Indian than Thai) and was a mild in spice level. It came with a cup of white rice that resulted in a filling meal even for a big lad like me. Personally I would have preferred a thinner sauce and some more spice, but overall a solid 3.5 stars. My wife had the stir fried rice with chicken and pineapple which had a pleasant smoky aroma. read more

This restaurant is 13 min from my house. I live in Knightdale. This restaurant was amazing! So glad we tried it. There was a few 1 star reviews that almost made me not come. They are unfounded. Maybe they ordered mild spice and that was why it was bland. I recommend the medium which is just the perfect blend of spice. We ordered the chicken tikka masala and curry chicken. Both were on point. We also had the garlic nann which was amazing. 1 review mentioned a smell. I did smell it but it wasn't overwhelming like she said. Maybe she was pregnant lol. The food is worth the very minor smell the restaurant has. Service was good too. If I could give 6 stars I would! This was better than an Indian restaurant I tried in Durham recently and that's saying something. read more
