The board outside tipped me off to their $24.99 special: butter lamb, garlic naan and basmati rice. We added an order of palak (spinach) paneer and another helping of naan. Medium-hot for both dishes turned out to be the right choice for us. The butter lamb was tender, generous, and beautifully spiced; palak paneer was savory and delicious. One order of garlic naan would have been enough. In fact, we ended up taking leftovers home. We couldn't resist another special they offered: 2 for 1 lassis. My husband got a salty lassi, which was thin and foamy, with a nice hit of salt and cumin. I got the mango lassi, which I loved. It was thick, fruity and just sweet enough. Our server was professional and kind. We'll be back.

I would also describe the food as modern since there are some cool fusion dishes such as the mango burrata (I didn't end up ordering this but I wish I did!)

I want to start this review by giving a big shoutout to Pemba who was our server, he was so kind and took such good care of us and recommended really good items based on what we wanted. Everything I tried from here was 10/10! Some stand out items - :: Bombay pomfret fry - OH! The masala and coating on this was sooo good we were sucking on the bones till the very end. Such a great appetizer! :: Lasooni palak burrata - I was a little apprehensive about this at first because burrata and palak didn't seem like something I would want to try but I was wrong! This was one of my favourite dishes. It was such a delicious fusion item. For dessert, I would recommend getting their soan papdi malai khwaab and their malai ghewar. Not too sweet, just perfect. For drinks, aam pana with gin is the way to go. I really cannot wait to come back and order everything again!

We were staying at the Marriott around the corner and the reviews were solid and since both Canada (and Vancouver) and India were once British colonies, we figured Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill had to provide a good representation of Indian fare by proxy, right? And it sure was. All four of us were so happy with everything we ordered. I ordered the set menu with mutton curry, rice, daal, raita and some veggies. I love full-flavored things and I love mutton (older lamb) and you can't find it at most places. This curry was amazing. The wife and Son of Tiki Dave ordered Chicken Tika Masala and Chicken Tandoori. The girl ordered Chicken Teriyaki. WHAT?? But she loved it. Ambience was lovely; service was excellent. We also ordered two orders of Garlic Naan which was probably too much but delicious. We had LOTS of leftovers and dang it, I made certain to finish them off and did on the way to the airport the next day!

However it is not focused and instead provides a little bit of the region for everyone (Nepal, China, India, Pakistani influences). Came in for lunch on a weekday. Quickly seated and tended to by the staff. Interior is more of a diner scene than nice cafe. Bathrooms are gender neutral and clean but not nice. Here's my three things: 1) I got a lunch special featuring fish peckora, and tandoor chicken. Good flavor but missed on the real spice flavors. Veg salad was sour and worked with the rest of the plate. 2) These folks can make some NAAN! The Naan stole the show. Sweet, salty and crisp. 3) Price wise you can fill up and have a drink for $25-30CAN.

We had the lunch special, a beef curry with rice. They also offered it as a vegetarian version. We also added naan and mango lasees.

The naan was a half piece and I would have liked the whole piece --it was so buttery and the perfect dipper for the thick curry sauce.

Everything tasted incredibly fresh, vibrant, and beautifully prepared. The flavours were authentic, savoury, balanced, and full of depth, and you could genuinely taste the quality of the ingredients. What I love most is that this is the kind of food that leaves you feeling vibrant after you eat it. There is an energy and freshness to it that makes the entire experience feel nourishing as well as exceptionally tasty. It is comforting, satisfying, and at the same time wonderfully alive. It's also so easy and convenient to enjoy. It has the speed and simplicity of fast food--you can order it quickly, take it with you, and have a delicious meal without a long wait--but you can taste that real care and time have gone into preparing the food. It's savoury, healthy, fresh, and genuinely delicious. For something quick and easy, it really doesn't get much better than this. I'm already looking forward to being back in town so I can try all the other dishes.
