Late dinner and craved Indian food. Everest menu highlights Indian, Nepalese, and Tibetan so let's try it! I felt adventurous so tried a veggie vindaloo (3 of 5 stars) and chicken momos. Vindaloo came with rice and I would try 4 star next time. Zesty as listed in the menu is spot on. Love it! I was worried the momos (10ish) would just be standard dumplings and was pleased with the ingredients before trying the sauce which complimented them nicely. The dish would be an excellent appetizer to share for 3-5 easy. I would have ordered a smaller portion but maybe I missed it. Take home it is! Big enough place for several groups and the tables are spaced so it doesn't feel crowded. I arrived towards the end of the night so not busy, but still several parties. Prompt service, cozy lighting, and casual pop sounding music at conversation volume. Part of Lake Forest Park Town Center, there's plenty of parking. Temperature was a bit warm for my liking but not a distraction. read more

This is for their to go chicken briyani. So delicious I just can't. I love my chicken biryanis and theirs is one of the best from the toppings to the abundance of finely spiced chicken. It is also packaged really well so when you arrive home you don't have to deal with messy container. The only thing I would like to see is a hard boiled egg in my briyani. Other than that, I will be returning. read more

All the meat here is Halal which was a nice surprise! I got a vegetable vindaloo, chicken momos, potato naan and two mango lassi (one to go). The vindaloo was delicious and I got a level 3 out of 5 spice which was perfect! The chicken momos are great and come with an amazing sauce. I really liked the potato naan it was nice and crispy and had plenty of potato filling. The mango lassi was delicious and no too sweet, I even got one to go! Service was amazing, decor is nice and so is the music. I will definitely be back! read more

Delivery review In short I've always had a sneaking suspicion that this place was at least pretty good, and I finally got around to checking it out thanks to one of the delivery apps. Great spicy food with big flavors. In long I don't know much about the different culinary traditions around south Asia, but it seems like every time I check out a place with lots of Indian dishes that proudly proclaims another region on its menu, it's a great experience. To my naive eyes, quite a bit of this menu seemed like Indian food, but they definitely have other stuff going on. I got lamb korma at top spice levels, and it was actually enough to get a little shine of perspiration going on my big bald head. Great flavors, too--rich seasoning, nice tender meat, plenty of crunchy almond slices and a bit of veg. Rice was tender and exactly moist enough. The garlic naan had great chew and tons of bright garlic flavor. Prices here are good, and food was ready fast. Will definitely be checking this place out some more. read more

We went with a friend for the first time for supper. We were greeted with a friendly smile and seated right away. We ordered 4 different dishes and some Naan and shared all of it. It was great and flavorful. The service was high level but not intrusive and always professional and polite. I wish that I had taken some photos, but know that we will be back. Pricing is reasonable and lots of parking close by. read more

Everest has the best butter chicken, not to mention the large portions of naan! I love using the online ordering service and the staff is very friendly when picking up. read more

First time back since relocating to Denver. Surina provided excellent service and food was wonderful, once I asked for the correct meat. I like my Saag with dark meat chicken, and miscommunicated to Surina. She was able to correct my miscommunication and I enjoyed a delightful meal. I will return, mostly because of Surina and Sujit (the cook) completed the cooking of my revised meal. With service like this, you can surmise the ambiance was wonderful, so caring! read more

Eh...I went here once and it wasn't really anything special. The tikka masala and butter chicken weren't anything unique. I felt one of them had too much tomato and not enough cream in flavor. The portions we were given are rather small. The samosas are large, but we only receive like 3 along with the tikka masala, butter chicken, and rice. For the cost...it definitely was not worth it. A lunch buffet restaurant is cheaper and worth my money. read more

I've seen this place mentioned and come up a few times over the past four years after moving in vicinity to it. I happened to be at a taproom a few doors down and the food options there didn't really excite me. The Everest Kitchen was busy with take-outs and pick-ups. I ordered food for pick-up and waited less than 30 minutes on a Friday evening. We ordered the mango curry with lamb, garlic naan and the vegetable samosas. The mango curry was delicious and was perfect with the lamb. The samosas has a spicy kick which took us by surprise. They are also pretty large and was quite filling. I'm glad we didn't order a second entre. Now that I'm reading other reviews, I think I need to try their chicken momos sometimes. read more

The food is very good. We ordered mango chicken, butter chicken and lamb korma. The service was good and the people were friendly.

Delicious flavors especially with paneer! We go for lunch regularly but recently ordered Everest kitchen cuisine for a small celebration we hosted. The guests included folks who had never tasted this food before so we stayed with mild spice for the butter chicken and saag paneer. The samosas had a little kick for those who enjoy more spice. Of course we had naan and rice too. We chose golden chai as our special beverage. Everything was perfect. read more

Great food - better than expected. But I will tell this - this being a Nepalese place, I really expected spicy and hot flavour but they have toned it down for American pallette. I tried ordering Thupka with 5/5 spicy level but the waiter advised against that. So I did 4/5. And oh boy so disappointed - it was not hot. Nothing like Thupka I have tasted back in India. But the taste was really really good. It was a bit turmericy but not bad.. really flavourful. On the other hand the chilly momo was just Wow. Not at all spicy but the sauce they had - so amazing and flavourful. Very nice. As per ambience, the restaurant looked nice and clean but not really a lot of crowd dining it.. read more

This place is truly a hidden gem where you can get delicious Nepalese and Indian food. The Everest Kitchen is our favorite take out place for a busy weeknight and the quality of food is always the same! This time I was able to dine in after many years and WOW it was so good! First time trying the momos, they are so fresh and full of flavor. The tandoori chicken was sizzling hot and is finger licking good. The mango curry with lamb is sweet and it's great with the garlic nann. One thing they can improve is having better ventilation in the restaurant as my clothes smelled after eating there. read more

When you walk in this small cozy strip mall restaurant you are greeted by friendly smiles and delicious exotic smells of cooking. The food lives up to this. Wonderful fresh baked naan, yummy dumplings, and delicious mixed grilled platter of meats. Service is friendly and efficient, and wine by the bottle is well curated and reasonably priced. A lovely experience. read more

This place has some really good vegan options. Not sure if they still have it, but I used to enjoy the buffet here at least once a month when I lived in the area. The staff was usually very nice & accommodating & helpful in letting people know what is vegan & what is not. read more

I don't know why my previous review disappeared, but it did. We tried several dishes here, as well as the chai tea (Nepal style). This is food of Nepal, many dishes of which resemble their Indian counterparts. I especially liked the spicy goat curry (watch out for the bones). Service can be slow and inattentive. But the food is delicious. We'll be back. read more

Good food, terrible service: I've ordered from Everest Kitchen nearly a dozen times, half dine-in, half takeout, and the experience is consistently disappointing. This place is chronically understaffed, and it shows. Wait times are often double what they promise, and order accuracy is a gamble: missing items, wrong orders, or occasionally getting it right by luck. Tonight was the breaking point: on August 20, 2025, we placed a $100 takeout order for a family of five at 5:45 PM. By 7:00 PM, it still wasn't ready. Sadly, this isn't rare, it's the norm. Everest Kitchen has the demand and revenue to hire more staff and fix these issues. Until they do, expect long delays, poor service, and frustration. Great food doesn't matter if the experience is this bad. read more

this place is INCREDIBLY SLOW. I keep going back because the food is good but they are very slow at making it. The last time I ordered it for pickup. They said it would be ready in 30 minutes. I went to get it and it was not ready for and hour and 15 minutes. So I sat in the place waiting for 45. When I went to complain, none of the employees speak english. So they really need to hear this. DONT PROMISIS delivery times you can't keep. read more

Dupe of Indian-Nepali Kitchen, and unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The ambiance was quite dull, and the service was just average--staff didn't seem particularly engaged or interested. We ordered the veg momo, and it tasted exactly like the ones from Indian-Nepali Kitchen in Seattle, so honestly, it didn't feel worth the trip all the way to Forest Lake. The momo chutney was a letdown as well--it wasn't spicy at all and lacked flavor. Overall, it wasn't an impressive experience. read more

The chicken momos are delicious! Love the sauce they come with, and the momos themselves are cooked perfectly. The chai is also wonderful. They serve the real deal, not the overly sugary Americanized stuff that most coffee shops have. It has a nice, complex spice blend and comes unsweetened so you can decide how much sugar you want to add. Service was good too. Would recommend this place. read more

Solid Spot! Clean, good food, decent service. Would go here again if I was in the area craving some Himalayan food. I meet an associate for lunch here one day. Service was OK, but the food made up for it. Food came out hot, fresh, and timely. read more

We got the Malai kofta. It was decent. The garlic naan was good. Prices were a bit higher than we are used to. The atmosphere was good - not too loud, but nothing too special. Service was good - they were fast and kept our waters filled. I would try it again, but would try a different dish next time. read more

We specifically asked that the delivery driver ring the doorbell when the food arrived. They did not. Who knows how long the food was sitting out there? This is the second time this has happened. We do not plan on ordering again. read more

Never eating here again, and telling all of my friends what they did. I ordered Door Dash, and the Mango Lassi I ordered didn't come with the order. I called the restaurant and they said it was the Driver's fault. They told me to call the driver, which is already a bit annoying. I relented and called the driver. Twice. No answer. Full mailbox. I called back to Everest Kitchen, and they reiterated that it wasn't their fault and that i needed to complain to Door Dash. I said, "So, you're just going to keep my $6.50? No recourse?" Yep. That's what they did. Don't go here. Out of principal. read more

We love their momos and the Nepalese dipping sauce best. We also have ordered Indian takeout (Saag Paneer, Coconut Curry, Tikka Masala) that was excellent. We've been ordering from them for ten years. After Covid their prices went up, so we don't order quite as often. read more

We came at 5:20 pm on a Saturday evening so there was only 1 other table and a few patrons waiting for their to-go orders. No staff was in sight so I went over to the register and found 2 women packing to-go orders. One of them (Pabi according to our receipt) showed us to our table and gave us 3 menus. She returned shortly to take our orders. It always makes me nervous when a server does not write things down. We ordered 4 vegetable samosas, mango curry with chicken, Tikka Masala with shrimp, Chicken momos, and plain naan. She clarified "did you want garlic or plain naan?" Plain we repeated. When our food arrived, we noticed the Tikka Masala shrimp was tasteless; none of us have had enough Tikka Masala to know something was off. Our naan was the last to arrive.....garlic naan. We were too hungry to send it back. Overall, the food was ok. However, the restaurant was so uncomfortably warm inside that sweat dripped down the side of my head. We asked for low spice so it was definitely not from that. It seemed like they had the heater on. As it got later, the restaurant was bombarded with to-go orders. When our check came (see pic), we noticed we got coconut curry instead of Tikka Masala. Our bill came to about $80 for a party of 3. Slightly annoyed that our serve got 2 out of 5 items wrong, I went up to the registered, told her the errors, and suggested that she write down orders in the future. All she said was "ok". No apology whatsoever! It's highly unlikely we will return to the Everest Kitchen. read more

A must try restaurant if you like authentic Nepalese/Tibetan food. The food here is freshly made and flavors are balanced perfectly. The service is good too. I had chicken momos, that tasted perfect with well cooked chicken. I also had veg momos with right amount of vegetable stuffing. In addition, to that I also tried their yellow lentils. It was really good and had subtle flavor. It's a great dish for someone who wants to have light meal but don't want to skip nutrients. Overall, this place is great for having simple & delicious food. read more

I love bringing my family here. This place is 5 stars Absolutely loved Everest Kitchen! The flavors were incredible--perfectly spiced and full of depth. We had the momo, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and goat curry of course and everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. This place is a hidden gem in Seattle and definitely worth a visit. Can't wait to come back read more

Is giving 0 stars possible? Negative stars? Extremely disappointed with this place. First off, the drink menu wasn't correct at all as they were out of almost everything. They had to literally tell us the three only drinks available because what we kept asking for wasn't available. Then we place our order, starting with an appetizer. We get our drinks in a few minutes, no problem. But then we wait almost AN HOUR for our food to come out. I timed it and it literally was 55 minutes. Did our appetizers come out though? No. We were given our meals and not even asked about appetizers. Ten minutes later I get the server's attention and we say we didn't get the appetizer. Ten more minutes goes by - mind you we're well over an hour since ordering at this point. A different server all together comes and asks about the appetizer if we've received it, at this point I say no we didn't, just cancel it. We finish eating our meal, which was okay, but not great by any means. When we finish eating we try asking for containers to go, but can't seem to get the attention of our server at all. He finally stops by and asks if we're done and we ask for to go containers. He then proceeds to seat other parties, clean tables, and give containers to other tables. We waited 15 minutes and then I got up and got to go containers myself. We never got our check either so after packing up our food I go up to the checkout and they offer no apology for the wait and don't offer a discount or anything. I find it hard to leave even anything as a tip, but I do anyways. What am absolutely infuriating experience. I will never return here. I heard several other people say they were waiting almost an hour as well. Absolutely ridiculous. I will never recommend this place to anyone. If you're that busy, learn to stop online orders, or stop seating people and let them know there will be a wait. At no point we're we told there would be a wait. Nor were we checked on at any point during our visit unless we specifically asked for the waiter. Terrible. read more

Great good and a nice, calm dining room - great shops and bookstore in the shopping area.

The meat in the dish was very dry and over cooked. I would bet it was already cooked and then re heated for our dish. With only 2 tables full....we got 0 service. Food was delivered and waiter never came back until we got up and asked for the bill. I had to get up and steal utensils from another table so we would have one..... read more

very good food. very slow service. this was our very first-time visit on a saturday at not quite 2 o'clock for a late lunch. one table with two diners, one server, and us. we decided on a light meal of soups and naan. the servings were generous and i would return just to eat the naan. Dal: thinner than other dal (soup) i've had, but it turned out to be filling and very flavorful served in a giant bowl. Qwati soup: another giant bowl serving. there were plenty of lentils that were soft but not mushed up. the flavor was mildly reminiscent of tumeric and curry. no additional salt or other seasonings were needed. this soup was even more filling that the Dal. the soup servings were very generous. these soups could easily serve 2 or 3 when served with other shared dishes. Garlic Naan: this is not the giant, thick, yet fluffy naan i am used to. this naan is smaller, crispy, with plenty of the flavorful burn spots and covered with the minced garlic and basted lightly with ghee. this is a very delicious naan. after we finally placed our order it was over 30 minutes for the soup and naan to arrive at our table. we were pleased everything arrived piping hot, but over 30 minutes for soup and naan seemed very slow. we never saw our server after she delivered our food and refilled my water glass at my request. another employee came in during our lunch but disappeared into the back. we waited for the check to be delivered to our table as the other table, but no one ever "checked" on us. i helped myself to the carry-out boxes lined up on the now unused buffet tabel. on my way to the restroom, our server was eating behind a screen and chatting with the newly arrived employee. my dining partner walked up to the register, our server took her plate further into the kitchen and never came back, and the new employee rang us up and seated newly arrived diners. maybe it was a shift change mix-up. i don't care. our server ignored us. 4 stars because of the food quality. service 1 star. = 3 stars overalll rating yes, i will return for the food if i am in the neighborhood but i'll make sure not to be hungry and have nowhere else to go after dining. total time from seated to paying: about 1h. 30 min read more

I love Tikka Masala! Add just the mushrooms & peas & I am in heaven! Today we ordered mango lassis, pakora, garlic naan, and the mushroom masala. It was perfect! Basmati Rice comes with the masala. Husband wanted the Korma but we decided we would order that the next time we come here to eat. Was a little surprised that the restaurant was not crowded. Last time we ate here was pre-pandemic and it was really crowded. I think slowly people are starting to venture out. This is probably one of the better places to go. They removed some of the tables so tables are pretty far apart. Staff are friendly. We will return! read more

I've dined in only once or twice since my last review 7 years ago, but have gotten takeout many many times over the years, either for small gatherings at home or family dinner take-out (especially when bored/tired of cooking during the pandemic). Sometimes I have made the homemade curries and samosas myself at home, and just ordered the more time-intensive appetizers (pakoras) and naan to round out the meal. So this review is for take-out only, most specifically for a thank-you meal I served for my friend and her son last fall (Nov 2023). I ordered a couple of apps (chicken momos, keema and vegetarian samosa), and a couple of mains (paneer butter curry and tandoori shrimp), rounded out with a few plain naans and extra rice. I have found the quality at EK has gone downhill over the years. For example the chicken meat in their curries is rubbery and overcooked and not good quality (I noted their cheap meat quality as an issue in my first review, and it unfortunately has not improved and just getting worse) which is why I swapped over to paneer anytime the butter curry cravings hit me! I've also come to realize that it seems they use food dye in some of their curries. As the food became more and more disappointing, I struggled to find an Indian restaurant conveniently located to me, which is why I continued to occasionally order takeout. On this particular occasion, I was also quite disappointed with the taste and quality of the tandoori shrimp (not something I typically order) but wonder if that is something that just doesn't travel well- in all fairness I'd have to try it while dining in. However, given the more frequent disappointments, in the future I plan to take my Indian cravings to another neighborhood place that I just discovered and makes EK feel like a waste of my money! read more

The food was good. Service was disappointing. I came in hungry. I was seated at a table where I could see the kitchen window. So I could see food coming out of the kitchen. A nice couple was seated to my right, I could see that they were waiting on food. About 20 minutes pass I have yet to place my order. However, part of the order arrives for this other table. Now it appears to be lunch time for the young cook. He takes his meal right in my eyesight into the kitchen delivery window. What I witness, is one of the cooks or the only cook, choosing to eat food in the takeout window. I do not begrudge him a meal, but I would like to be served before his 25 minute meal. He takes his time. He seems to enjoy his food, a good sign. No food comes out of the kitchen during his meal. My server, an older gentleman, takes this time to set up takeout boxes for delivery. He did not approach me during this time. After his 25 minutes lunch, the other table is served some of their orders. A couple come in and place their orders. Now I have been waiting one hour. The couple that came in 35 minutes after me, are served their food. About 15 minutes later, comes my goat curry. Very good, but appears to have sat for a while, as there is a skin on the curry. It is also much hotter in spices than I requested. You think I'm going to send it back? I felt fortunate to even get my food. Liked their food, but service was dismal. read more

This restaurant is insanely good, when we can't decide to eat, we go here. The best food for me there is the Nan bread, plain rice, and buttered chicken. The food is really easy to grab, we order from home and the food is done in 20 mins or less, so great service! Also, really easy to make it look like a homemade meal, we were having a dinner at home and you just drop in whatever is in the containers and it looks homemade! read more

We've come here 3 times, and each time the experience has gotten worse. The first time, service was slow but not outlandishly so, and the food was good. I even recommended the place to some friends. Second time, the service was very slow but the food was good and they were apologetic. This time, however, the service was just horrible. We've been sitting here for over an hour and we only just got our appetizers. The waitstaff is not rude so much as just clueless. And this time the food was awful. The chicken Tikka Masala was just flavorless mush. Shame to see a place that used to be good slide so far. read more
