    Garlic Naan, Tandoori Chicken
    Corrina S.

    SOOOO GOOD! Go here and you will not be disappointed. The best food in Rapid City if not all of South Dakota. Perfectly seasoned! The kindest employees, they always make sure you have everything you need. They have the best Tandoori Chicken I have ever had. Great vibes inside, perfect for having a conversation!

    Daal Lentil Soup
    Tarannum K.

    Date: 2nd July, 2025 Ordered (through UBER Eats): - Tandoori Chicken ($17). It came with lentil and rice. - Plain naan ($3.5). Taste: Chicken Tandoori was average. Not super yummy. But not bad too. I took medium spicy. Spice level was okay for me. The daal (lentil) was above average. Naan was as usual. Amount: - 6 Pieces Chicken with sauteed onions and bell peppers. Can be shared among 2-3 people. - Plain naan was cut into 4 pieces. Good for one person. Do I recommend? You can give it a try if you love chicken. Went to pick up the food. They have a nice place to enjoy foods.

    Himalayan Special Kabob

    I have been wanting to try this restaurant for quite some time. I am pleased that I finally made it, although I was quite disappointed that they do not have the buffet anymore. Our server was good, but there was a language issue but we made it work. I was asking questions and just getting yes and a nod, but not getting answers. Garlic naan was very tasty. I ordered the special chicken kabobs. They came out sizzling and the smell was overwhelming good. The lentils were also delicious. This meal was enough to feed two and still had leftovers. I will return.

    Don't let the subdued outside appearance fool you. Welcoming and attentive service. Nice place and very tasty food. Would definitely recommend a visit.

    Very very delicious! Family ordered Chicken Kadai, Butter Chicken, Chana Masala, and Garlic Naan. Will definitely be stopping back when in town again.

    Garlic Naan
    Michael D.

    Fast, friendly service in a homey atmosphere. The dishes we got were amazing! Malai Kofta and Prawn Coconut Korma. We got medium because we wanted spicy and it more than delivered! But we were still able to taste the complexity of various flavors through the spice. The garlic naan was delicious and had chunks of garlic you could actually see. Love that!

    Is it true that, contrary to the restaurant's sign, it no longer offers lunch buffets?

    Not sure ....they have a huge central steam table as you enter restaurant but I do not recall anyone saying or any notation on menu, etc

    How did u guys like it?

    I love it. The kormas and marsalas are so yummy!

    We visited Everest Cuisine and tried quite a few dishes including the appetizer platter, veg momo,…read morechicken momo, Nepali chicken curry, dal makhni, kadai paneer, and veg biryani. Overall, the food was good and flavorful, and we enjoyed most of the items we ordered. The Nepali chicken curry, dal makhni, and kadai paneer especially stood out with good flavors and taste. The veg momo was a bit underwhelming and did not stand out compared to the other dishes. Also, the veg biryani turned out to be quite spicy even though we had specifically requested mild spice level. Other than that, the experience was good and we enjoyed trying the variety of dishes.

    When you ask any local in town for curry recommendations, you'll usually be pointed to one of three…read moreplaces--and the person recommending it is often very loyal to their favorite. I've been to all three and regularly visit two of them, with Everest being my least favorite. There are a few reasons it ranks at the bottom for me, the main one being the food. Compared to its competitors, I find it to be subpar. The dishes tend to lack depth of flavor, and despite trying several menu items, they just haven't quite nailed the seasoning or spice levels. The service has always been friendly, with no issues there, and the restaurant itself is fine--nothing special, more of a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. I'd still suggest giving it a try and judging for yourself, but I also recommend trying the other options in town so you can decide which one you think is the best.

    I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place and The A&D Jamaican Restaurant w. Just when I thought…read moreRapid City was a lost cause for authentic food in a sea of fast‑food chains and franchises. This spot is run by a lovely couple, with the wife juggling both the register and the kitchen. I ordered the Chicken Coconut Milk Curry (boneless chicken thigh simmered in a rich, creamy coconut milk curry). The flavor was fantastic -- a smooth curry with just the right touch of coconut. The chicken was incredibly tender, though I do wish they had given a bit more of it. I also tried the Papor (two pieces), a deep‑fried flatbread made from bean flour. I don't usually go for fried foods, but this was delicious and totally worth it. Last thing I ordered was the Mango Rice Pudding, it was delicious. From now on, whenever I travel, I'll definitely be checking to see if there are any Bengali restaurants in the area. This place reminded me how special and comforting truly authentic food can be.

    This place is pretty highly rated, so we decided to check it out on our road trip from Washington…read moreto Maine. My husband is from India and cooks a lot, so I could probably be considered a food snob in this department lol. However, I couldn't help but leave an honest review so the public knows what they're getting. The restaurant is old and small. But this isn't a big deal, they have enough seating. Capacity for this place is 35 per their signage. I don't mind eating at hole in the walls and we travel abroad a lot so I've eaten in many variations of food stops. But this review is for those who are wanting to know how this specific restaurant is- it's at the bare minimum in terms of cleanliness. It's not dirty; it's just old and not well kept. We were greeted by a female and I believe she was 1 of 2 cooks. So it's definitely that home cooked style- which is great! I got butter chicken (im basic) and my husband got paneer tikka masala. The flavors were just ok compared to other places we've had. The curries were lacking a little flavor. I did order 4/5 spice out of 10 so that could be why, but even then- when you order mild at places you still can taste the masalas. They gave us a generous portion of rice. Now the butter naan. Was tiny little squares.. I don't think they make it in house. The bread is giving store bought. Just fyi- don't expect nice crispy & fluffy naan. Overall, the people were super friendly.. they have lots of great options on the menu. But due to the flavors and the naan seeming to be store bought.. watered down fountain drinks.. I'd give it 3 stars! This does not mean they were awful, this is just an honest review. When I give 4 & 5 stars; it's truly an amazing dining experience.
