I have been dining at Indian buffets for 30 years, Everest in Cotati is by far the best I have ever experienced, I have been a vegetarian for the same amount of time and have dined with friends/family who are not vegetarians and they also love it. I have to mention the young man (21 years old) Raj, is so polite and professional, he greets you when you enter, comes to your table several times to see if you need anything, a total gentleman. If I had the money, I would back him in anything he wanted to do. Thank you, Greg W. read more

Valentine dinner what delight. Raj was our server, very knowledgeable, personable and conscientious with time. He was very busy! The lentil soup to hold us over was delicious! Our appetizers came out hot and quickly and were very good. Our dinners were promptly and with a smile by the food runner. (Sorry didn't catch their name) Very good meal, we will be back and often! read more

My friends and I had the Saag Paneer lunch, Lamb Pharsi, and Chicken Soup and Salad, and they were each so delicious and presented so exquisitely! The Lamb was presented in the traditional Indian metal bowl! My lunch came with both Naan bread and gluten-free crispy bread, which was a pleasant surprise! read more

We noticed this restaurant when we were next door one weekend so made a mental note to come back and try it. They offer a buffet so we thought that would be a nice way for us to check out some of their dishes. When we arrived, there was a huge party taking up the entire middle of the restaurant. It was a large birthday party and they had pretty much already eaten so I think that was the reason some of the chafing dishes looked low. The dishes looked familiar but the one thing we really appreciated was the brown rice in the rice cooker. There is also a choice of white rice but we are brown rice fans so we were delighted. They kindly brought a basket of fresh plain naan to our table. Our favorites were the saag paneer and the butter chicken. The employees were slowly refilling some of the chafing dishes during our visit since some looked quite depleted (probably because of the big party). Servers are friendly and they stopped by to bus our dishes and check on everything. $14.99/person. Plenty of parking in the large lot shared with other businesses. read more

Best "fusion" Indian food. Powerful flavor in every dish. The chicken chow mein has lots of tandoori chicken and vegetables. Service is fast and kind. Happy repeat customer! read more

Been here a few times, and it's always delicious! I'm especially in love with the pizzas as the flavors are amazing with melty cheese~! First time trying Thakali Thali here, and it can feed 2 hungry people or 3 with small appetites. I ordered it with Saag Paneer, and it's very good. Highly recommend if you want something to share. The workers are always friendly and check in often. Overall, very very very delicious food! read more

Delicious buffet, cozy space and friendly service. Sometimes buffets are super overwhelming in the number of dishes. Theirs has enough choice to make a great vegetarian or meat Thali plate with papadum and naan and soup. I was also offered a refill on my cup of chai, not often available. My server Raj, was a sweetheart and the vibe overall was relaxed, homey and yet nice enough for a casual date. It's just a strip mall place but nicely done. Perfect for me looking for a delicious well priced meal and respite from the outside world. Pictures next time! read more

Great food, great service. Everything tasted fresh and on point. We started with a mixed platter and then each ordered something separate. I had the Chicken Tandoori, which was tasty and plentiful. Our server provided great recommendations. If you like it hot, you can request sauce on the side. For three of us, ordering three entrees and an appetizer was too much... but great for leftovers (if that's your thing). Nothing fancy here... just great food. read more

Everest Restaurant - Hot - Indian Near Me - Cotati, California

Comfortable table, good service. Not too noisy but acoustically able to handle an almost full house without echoing. Everyone at all the tables seemed happy and satisfied. Menu delightful: lots of variety! Lamb, shrimp, chicken, veggie and vegan dishes in all styles- vindaloo, curry, soups, fried- and all delicious! spiciness adjusted for your taste- we got medium, but will get hotter next time for our own taste. Our meal was Vegetable Pakora - nice and flavorful; Lamb Saag [lamb with spinach in sauce; Shrimp Curry [shrimp, crisp veggies, in delish sauce]; and Garlic Naan freshly risen and hot from the cooker. Basmati rice filled in nicely. Just enough left-over for yummy lunch tomorrow. Altogether a pleasure. On a warmer evening would be fun to eat outside at one of the tables in front of restaurant. read more

Five star reviews received by so many are well deserved. The restaurant is clean, warm and inviting. The food is served very hot and tastes freshly cooked and delicious! The best feature is the intoxicatingly friendly staff. What a delight. read more

I was in the area and decided to try this restaurant because I frequent what I thought was a sister restaurant closer to where I live that shares the same name. Wow!!....was I wrong. The two restaurants are not related and I found that there are four restaurants that have that same name and all serve Nepalese/Indian cuisine. This Everest in Cotati will be my favorite "Go To" from now on and worth the extra time to drive to from my house. The food is outstanding as well as the service staff and interior of the restaurant that screams of friendliness and cleanliness. The Naan bread with garlic and basil was the best I have had, being buttery and moist while maintaining a crispness. The Chicken 65, was new to me and so delicious if you want to try a spicy sweet dish. The vegetable Momos appetizer was filled with fresh cooked vegetables you could actually see and not a filly mined filling as I am accustomed to. Ample parking in the parking lot of this shopping center that is shared by Oliver's grocery and a handful of other shops and restaurants. read more

I love this place. We were so excited to hear that this was coming to Cotati, we were there for opening day and just keep showing up because everything here is so great. By far my favorite thing is the vegetable thali, with all the selection of various items, it keeps your taste buds entertained. I love also their curries, they are well spiced and the shahi paneer is absolutely not to be missed. Service is fast, friendly and orders are always accurate. The quality of the ingredients of the dishes is high, spices are perfect, and portions are large - I always have leftovers for tomorrow which is great. I love this place. The only downside is the parking here which they have no control over, this parking lot is a hectic disaster but if you're willing to walk, it's all free. I hope they are wildly successful! I'll keep coming here because we are huge fans :) read more

I'm sorry that I didn't post any pictures except for my leftovers. I forgot while I was there. My niece had come from Tacoma and we got to talk in and I totally forgot to do my review and take pictures, but I'm doing it now. We had the Everest Samosa Chat: which is: Samosa served on the bed of spiced chick peas & topped with chutneys. It was absolutely delicious. We also split samosas. My niece had the butter chicken and I had the chicken vindaloo. They were both awesome and very flavorful. I got a little taste of hers. We ordered the medium spicy, but it could've been spicier. Next time I'll order the very spicy my sister got the chef special salad which looked very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed for quite a while talking even after our meal was done and they were fine with that. The place was small, but very pleasant. I would highly recommend going here. read more

Everest Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Cotati, California

We arrived around 2pm on Tuesday. I had high hopes based on the reviews, but my experience was different. FOOD: I had the buffet. The selection IMO was a bit small, not terrible, but not a lot of a selection. What was bad was the food temperature - it was just warm... barely warm. Usually at a buffet I'm good for 2 trips, but there was no need to seconds for me. My friend who joined me didn't even finish all of his food. SERVICE: The Server was attentive and pleasant. AMBIANCE: Very clean and somewhat modern looking. I might try this again, but not sure. read more

Service, quality, quantity, ambiance, prices, all five star!!!! I'm new to the area and a huge fan of south and southeast Asian food! I have been disappointed until now! I'm from The SF Bay and can honestly say this is one is the best south Asian restaurants I've ever been! Definitely will be a regular! read more

Everest Restaurant - Chicken Tikka - Indian Near Me - Cotati, California

This Indian food was some of the best I've had in a long time. I highly recommend the butter chicken! The staff was extremely friendly as well. read more

Yes I am gonna bring up the butter chicken that butter chicken is heaven made manifest. It's nice to have an Indian/nepalese chain nearby that I genuinely think is pretty good. Everest eclipses some places even in the city. Their service is always nice and it's cool to have a complimentary lentil soup. The only reason I can't rate it higher is that the prices are asinine for their portions. You're served most things family style, but the family style bowls are about enough for a date between two people. Also the spice levels are almost undetectable. Even if you ask for hot it's sort of meh. Perhaps the waiters are protecting me. read more

We have been here twice nor and the food is sooooo good! We especially like the Apricot Chicken. Nice wine selection with excellent, friendly service. Nicely decorated and the restaurant is spotless! Highly recommended! read more

Delicious buffet. Superb service. Less expensive than I expected. My friend and I went here because the restaurant we had planned to go to was closed. My friend had never really had Indian food before, and this was a great first experience. Nothing was spicy, so it is great for newbies. read more

it's so good, I came here 2 days in a row insanely delicious! will be back again with friends read more

Stopped by for dinner on a Wednesday night, it wasn't too busy so we decided to sit outside. The customer service was AMAZING!! The girl helping us paid so much attention to detail and was always checking up on us. The tandoori chicken pizza was delicious and had good flavor. Food portions are big and are shareable. So glad we stopped by! read more

Best indian food ever. Such great people, this is my favorite restaurant in Rohenrt Park.

This is one of his 2 under the same name and frankly closer to where I live in Cotati. Having lived in Asia for many years I've discerning tastes and this one ranks in my top 5. Excellent quality food delightful services and reasonable. Cheers! read more

The photo does not do it justice! My fiancé went in to pick up our order and the gentleman there was beyond kind to give him a bowl of delicious lentil soup while he waited. We got the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan and we were not disappointed. It was delicious and flavorful with perfectly cooked chicken and rice. The sauce was perfectly balanced the portions were large and left us both with no complaints! We cannot wait to go back and try other things. It's definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I will be recommending to friends. read more

I've been meaning to give this place a review. We've been coming here since it opened, several months ago. We really love it (and we are sticklers for good indian food). We come almost once a week. We always order the same dishes. We get chicken tika kabob, chicken korma, brown rice and one order of Tibetan bread. The tika kabob are HUGE chunks of white meat chicken on a sizzling platter with onions , peppers, and broccoli. Its served with a lemon wedge that you squeeze on the chicken. So delicious! The korma is rich and just slightly spicy( we ask for medium). The Tibetan bread is a treat, almost like a savory doughnut, perfect for dipping in the korma sauce. Its very different from the traditional nan , I suggest you try it sometime. The portions are very satisfying, we always have food to take home for lunch the next day. The service is really excellent, they treat us like family since we are regulars. We had a couple of problems, and they always made it right. We have tried almost every local Indian restaurant, from Tumeric(terrible), to namaste( pretty good), but you cant beat Everest for the best Indian restaurant experience around. I suggest you give this place a try, and don't forget the Tibetan bread!! read more

We tried the buffet. The offerings were plentiful. The flavors were good and not spicy at all. We came in after 1pm and the tandoori chicken was a bit dry. We found the rice pudding bland. Service was nice and friendly. The floors were sticky like they were mopped but not rinsed. Devore is minimal. read more

Great food, consistently. A go to in town, never had anything but good experiences/food

The food was simply amazing!!! The service was great and the restaurant was very clear. I would highly recommend!!!

Fresh and well prepared Nepalese food. All the dishes i've tried have been excellent. The matter mushroom is savory and has a nice truffle-like taste. The saag panner was hearty and filling. The eggplant curry is the best i've had in the Bay Area. The waitress is super friendly and always helpful. read more
