A first rate Indian restaurant. They call themselves Nepali. And the entrepreneurs may easily be Nepali. In the US, calling yourself a Nepali restaurant means taking a standard North Indian menu and adding momo and some Chinese dishes. In Nepal, they eat a lot more than momo. Mountainous regions in poor countries often use forms of protein that Americans don't particularly care for. (Fill in the blanks yourself on this one.) Doing that in the U.S. would be commercial suicide. At one time, Mount Everest had goat intestine on the menu. Goat intestine is relatively un-shocking given other items that Nepalis hunt or butcher and eat. The goat intestines did not sell well and had to be removed from the menu. So mostly what you get here is a plain old North Indian restaurant. Fortunately, Mount Everest is a very good plain old North Indian restaurant. * * * The headline story here is spice. A. Lots of it. B. Not your standard Anglo-Indian curry house spice mixes. I ordered my eggplant with a heat of 4. A heat of 5 is their !!NUCLEAR!! option. 4 is their "Commands Respect- Listen to Me Baby" level. Mount Everest's 4 is most other Indians restaurants 38. Steam came out of ears. Steam came out of eyes. I was amazed my metal container was able to hold that dish. I set a Grayson County speed record for most Naan consumed in the shortest amount of time ... As vast amounts of naan were stuffed into my flaming mouth to lower the temperature. * * * I LOVED IT. I WOULD DO THAT AGAIN IN A NEW YORK MINUTE. * * * If molten lava isn't your thing Ordering your food with a heat of 0 or 1 Will give you a nice lovely very mild dish. Mount Everest caters to all tastes. * * * The spicing here is unusual. This particularly shows up in the salty lassis. I couldn't tell you what the flavor combo was. But it was intriguing and wonderful. That is another dish I would order in a New York minute. * * * Speaking of non-New-York topics, Mount Everest does its best to fit into a Texas-Oklahoma aesthetic. There is a pool table. For all I know, Texoma is full of Indian restaurants with pool tables. But that was the first time, I had ever seen such a thing. They have country-western style decoration, and guitars on the walls to help set a mood. They serve cold beer. I am not used to Texas Ice Houses that also serve Tikka Masala and Aloo Chana. But this is a concept I could definitely learn to like. * * * Overall, this is a first rate establishment. And if you want enough inner fire to be able to climb the Himalayas without wearing a parka, Order any dish with a heat of 5. The snow will melt on either side of you as you pass. read more

A new Sherman hidden gem for authentic Indian and Nepalese cuisine! Portions and prices are very reasonable, plenty of seating inside, friendly staff, and the naan is huge! One of the best biryanis I've had in a while. read more

My son and I came here for our "date night" and both left saying it was one of the best meals we have ever had! We first ordered the Chicken Momos and the Garlic Naan. Then we got the Butter Curry Chicken (with basmati rice) and the Chicken Noodles. We were dipping the naan in all of the sauces too and I can't get over how flavorful it all was. The food, the service, everything was fantastic and we cannot wait to go back! Thank you Mt Everest Grill And Bar your service and giving us a great experience! See you s read more

Mt. Everest Grill And Bar - Chicken Noodles, Butter Curry Chicken, Basmati rice, Garlic Naan, and Chicken Momos - Indian Near Me - Sherman, Texas

Decided to try this place out today. I'm a huge fan of Indian cuisine but I'm a little more of a wuss on the spicy side. Got the buffet that had curry chicken, butter chicken, Peneer masala and a few other dishes. It was so delicious and very mild spicy wise which was perfect for me. Definitely worth the trip to try them out. I will be coming back for sure. read more

This place is always my first choice for Indian food! I would travel to Sherman just for their food. The food is always delicious, presentation is authentic, service is always cheerful, polite, and prompt. the place is kept tidy. I always tell people the first thing to try is butter chicken, butter paneer and naan bread. And there's always a not spicy option! read more

Service was impeccable. Miss Sushma took excellent care of me. Mango ice cream is a must. Buffet offered. Big facility, quarter games to play, and a pool table. Plenty of elbow space. read more

Nice open vibe to the place, very friendly and attentive staff. Food was a little pricey for the portions but it was very delicious!

Excellent garlic naan....Best ever. The samosa was top notch! The veg curry very good, rice very good and okra bendhi curry just ok--weird hard pieces of okra stem?? Will return to try other offerings here. read more

Excellent food. We had veggie samosas, potato chaat, mashed eggplant (baingan bhurtha), malai kofta (veggie balls in a tomato based curry sauce) and the lamb chops. We'd asked for everything to be mild, but the eggplant was quite spicy. It was still very tasty, and probably my favorite. The lamb chops were grilled and rubbed in a savory spice mixture. Everything was really fresh. But the best part was dessert. Mango kulfi, which is an Indian ice cream. It was excellent. The service was great as well. read more

I have never left a bad review for Mt. Everest, and usually have fantastic food, but today we ordered Tikka Masala, Vindaloo and Veggie Biriyani (Garlic Naan of course). The Masala and Vindaloo were both (unusually) sweet with no spice. The vindaloo had 0.0 stars of heat (none) and when you add that to sweet, makes me think there was a mistake with the ingredients. The Naan was great. I'll give them another try, but we threw this order away. read more

Authentic Indian Himalayan Nepalese food nice folks reasonably priced and portions are large. What can I say? I like Indian food this place is pretty good and the local community is lucky to have it. read more

We go here every chance we get. This food is very very good. If we have the time we eat in. The place is quiet and comfortable to have a nice meal as a date night or a family meal. The staff is always helpful and friendly. read more

I absolutely love the food here. Most authentic I've found around here. I could dine here several times a week! I do take out a lot too.

Food is amazing! There hasn't been a single time I wasn't in the mood to go here. Staff is very nice. Environment was cozy, love the new buffet! read more

Got take out the other night! It was all hot and correct. Tikki masala was very..sweet. Maybe too sweet for something I expected to be more savory but it wasn't "bad". Everything else was delicious read more

OMG! For most of my life, I never thought about eating Indian food and thought it would be too spicy or too much of a strange taste so I never would even attempt it. So, one day I happened upon this restaurant after recently moving to Sherman. Then I realized it was Indian food I thought "Oh, no" but thought I'd try it. I had the chicken Vindaloo which comes with rice. I can't tell you how fresh and great this tasted. That was about 5 weeks ago, and I've been back at least once a week. I've expanded my selections a little and everything I've ever ordered or eaten here is the freshest and greatest. They don't usually have very many people eating at the restaurant (I think they do mostly to-go orders) either way it's probably the best or one of the best restaurants in Sherman. read more

Amazing food! I've been a few times now. I've both eaten in and taken food to go. They are very consistent, good service, and have a big menu with lots of vegetarian options. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious food!! I've had a craving for some yummy Indian food since moving to Sherman. And this place met my needs! They have an all you can eat lunch buffet filled with authentic Indian foods. The spices were amazing. Great choices including some vegetarian choices too. Can't recommend enough....go try it! You won't be disappointed! read more

4.5 Star average and I'd still say it's underrated. My spouse grew up eating Indian food on the regular, so he knows a thing or two. This restaurant has strong Nepalese and Indian food on the menu. read more

Delicious Asian cuisine with good service is what awaits you here! Chicken Masala is superb as well as the Butter Chicken. Go enjoy!

I'm so glad Yelp led us all the way to Mt Everest! Fantastic service and lush sauces more than make up for the interior design. Don't let the exterior fool you either, this is authentic Himalayan food. Veggie samosa were piping hot, and alloo naan was warm and dense inside and a crispy outside, chicken momo steamed were perfectly al dente outside with an empanada like inside and a refreshing sauce that we never did quite figure out all the ingredients. Sure was tasty trying to guess the flavors though. Lamb madras, chicken korma, and butter chicken were all perfectly spiced and came with rice that could be eaten as a meal by itself. This is well worth the drive to Sherman. read more

So, we decided to try something new and to our great delight we found this great restaurant. Service was friendly throughout the meal offering suggestions and keeping drinks topped off. The food was great and amazingly tasty. Our curries were spiced to perfection and with just the right amount of burn. If you are looking for good food at a reasonable price eat here. read more

The overall layout of the restaurant is ok. Just kinda not a neat, clean look. Service was ok. Not impressed. The flavor of the food was really solid. But the heat in the food was really hot. We asked for medium and definitely was too hot for us. Should have gone with low or no heat maybe. We tried to put out the fire with the water we ordered, but it was completely awful and undrinkable. We told the waitress and she agreed it is bad but that seems acceptable for some reason. It has potential but the lack of cleanliness in the lobby makes us wonder about the cleanliness in the kitchen I suppose. There are so many options for food and variations of the dishes I feel the really good stuff might get lost in there somewhere. The place was empty on a Sunday, we saw maybe 2 others in the hour we were there. I feel like If they can decide if they are buffet or full service restaurant (and not both) and rework their menu to focus on their strengths, and solve the water issue and cleanliness stuff they will be solid, long term restaurant. By these things can also sink them if they don't figure it out. We came because of the rating on yelp, but after trying it we don't feel 5 stars is accurate representation. But we wish them the best. The flat bread is incredible too btw. read more

This is some of the best food I've EVER had! The spice level was perfect, the na'an was fantastic, the curries were out of this world! I also want to take a second to shine a special light on our waitress Neha! She was absolutely amazing, such a beautiful soul! She took her time to explain everything to us, and didn't make us feel inferior because we had questions. I HIGHLY recommend the lamb korma! If you've been teeter-tottering on visiting this restaurant, go ahead and take the leap. You will NOT be disappointed! read more

Finally found a good place to eat It took 3 years to find. Staff is amazing very polite and friendly Good food reasonable prices. I'm going back when I can. Ever restaurant before. Employees smoking weed outside. Wrong order, slow service perhaps to high to remember anything. Bus Boys stealing tips from the waitress eat off people's plates when the guests leave. But this place is a excellent place to go and have a good time. read more

The food was delicious and the service great! The owners are from Napal and very nice! I highly recommend!

Wonderful food! Nice service. This place is completely underrated and deserves much more love.

A colleague & I decided to try this place when another co-worker said it was the best Indian food he's had. Personally, I have only had Indian food once & wasn't crazy about it. We ordered level 5 spice on everything because we both like to set our tastebuds aflame. We ordered the Drums of Heaven & the Chicken Noodles. Both were incredible! I think we just found a new go-to place for lunch! And...they have delivery available through Texoma Delivers. read more

It was door dash delivery so all I have to rate is the quality of the food. It was delicious, I will order from them again. I was surprised that the heat wasn't there. Next time I will specify that I like things spicy. But very very pleased to find this gem in north Texas. read more
