This restaurant was fantastic foodie start to our stay in Lisbon! I'm traveling as a group of 4,…read moreand one of our group had this place bookmarked thanks to Eater.com's list of best places to eat in Lisbon (this restaurant is 32 on the list) and we discovered it was located just the next street over from our Air BnB. So finding the restaurant can be a bit hard cause there is no signage on the seat. You go up to these stairs, next to a kebab shop, and then the restaurant is located on the 1st floor, almost like a hidden secret. We lucked out as arrived just 30 mins before closing but the host said the kitchen was still open and led us to a table. A quick intro about the food - I thought this was going to be an Goan Indian restaurant, but the menu didn't have anything like a fish curry, goat chacuti or vindaloo. So this is more of an Indian restaurant, than a Goan Indian restaurant. However the menu had so many amazing choices, that we got a bit gluttonous and ordered the following dishes: 1) Masala Papad as an entree - really lovely! I've never eaten papad served with tomato/ onion/ coriander and whatever masala powder they sprinkled on top of the papad, it made it delish! 2) Butter chicken - beautifully buttery, mild and with great cashew flavors. 3) Bombay Aloo- a bit too much oil, but fabulous tomato taste, good pieces of the potato 4) Chicken Dopiaza- probably my favorite- the curry taste was incredible and the chicken was tender 5) Shrimp Bhurji - the curry taste was amazing, but shrimp unevenly cooked - some bites the shrimp were overwhelming tough and over cooked 6) Tandori Naan - excellent! We got x2 between four of us, and that was just the right amount 7) Jeera Rice - fantastic taste and recommend 8) Mixed Vegetarian Rice - I wouldn't get this again mostly cause of the artificial colors used in the rice. Plus don't like eating eating raisins in my rice Drinks 9) Bottle of House Red - got charged €9 for this, but pretty decent bottle 10) Mango Lassi - a bit too weak and watery for my taste 11) Water- small bottled water, no tap available 12) Beer - the usual Cobra Indian beer, nothing local served Dessert 13) Sreekhand- decent, but was melting rather than cold. The favorite of my two American friends 14) Bebinka - the only Goan dish on the menu, this is a massively delicious seven-layer custard, caramel and coconut cake. Our bill was around €73 and change so massively inexpensive for the amount of food! Yelp 182 / 2019

Everest Montanha is a gem of a restaurant that offers high-quality, authentic Nepali dishes right…read morein Lisbon. It is located on a side street which might be easy to walk past, but this place deserves all of the accolades and compliments! Inside, it may seem like a quiet, peaceful restaurant with dinner lighting, wooden furniture and Nepali decorations, but it's definitely providing a top tier food experience. It is run by a Nepali family who are bringing the best Nepali dishes for us to try here in Portugal. They are also very sweet, patient, attentive and showed so much appreciation as well. As an Indian, I didn't know what to expect with the spice level of the food and if it would be toned down. However, I was very impressed! Each spicy dish brings out the heat and you can also choose your preference for how you prefer your spice level. We started with onion bhaji as an appetizer which was on the house and it blew me away! It has a crunchy texture, which doesn't shy away with the slices of onion and the spices that add up to a salty, spicy and delicious bite! I highly recommend dipping it into the chutneys offered - there are 3 kinds, which consist of tamarind, chili, and mint. Just a heads up, the chili-based chutney was very spicy but perfect for the heat lovers! We also tried the chicken momos, which are paired with a lentil-based sauce. These were filled to the brim with the meat, which was seasoned perfectly, and the dough was the right texture and consistency. For our main course, we tried the matar paneer, which is peas with house made paneer cheese in a deliciously spicy sauce, and the Himalayan shahi korma which has tender pieces of lamb that are stewed in a flavorful sauce of dried fruit, cream, tomato, cashew and cilantro. These curries come with basmati rice on the side as well. This was my first time trying these Nepali dishes and I was blown away by how delicious they are! You can taste the various spices, ginger, garlic which all marry well together. Overall, Everest Montanha deserves all the love and support so come and check it out if you want an amazing meal in Lisbon!

Another great yelp discovery!…read more On our final night we are exhausted , luckily I had researched the area near our hotel beforehand, so this was bookmarked as one of my options. It was fairly quiet when we entered, four people sat in the middle, so the exceedingly polite host beckoned us to sit anywhere. Having perched at the nearest table he left us with some menus and complimentary poppadoms..OKAY YOU THINK WHY INDIAN FOOD IN PORTUGAL but hear me out. To begin this place was interesting with its dark wooden panelling and Buddha shrines. The spicy green dip amongst the generic mango chutney and raita was sublime. The drinks were interesting and well priced. I personally had never tried green wine before so selected a small bottle. The menu had it's generic curries but a lot of different ones too. As stated by a previous reviewer, I would have expected more fish due to the restaurant name but it was still plentiful. To start I ordered the spicy himali soup which was of perfect silky smooth texture and flavoursome. For mains I ordered this prawn dish with spinach, cottage cheese and cashews and my partner a chicken tandoori with curry sauce. Each main came with rice so I ordered a chilli cheese naan which wasn't on the menu but the host declared he would have this made specially. While we waited he placed my wine in a cooler..I have to say the wine was different..reminded me of gooseberry ..very sharp. My main was presented beautifully , and in general the food looked divine. Mine was very rich though and so unfortunately I left the majority. My partner devoured all his !! The specially Made naan was also very yummy and tasted fresh .. In the end , I queried if a 14% off offer was still valid via yelp, he checked and declined but provided me with another bottle of green wine instead!! Overall the host was amazing, he spoke fluent English and was genuine and always trying to please us. The ambiance could have done with some background music..other than that, please give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!!

My wife was really looking forward to returning here in 2018 but we were disappointed. Nothing was bad. It was just mediocre. It wasn't as good as our visits in 2016. We arrived just after they opened for dinner at 6PM. Although we were the only people in the restaurant, we weren't allowed to sit in their one window seat because they keep that open for a writer who frequents the place. We also weren't able to get any naan bread because they didn't pre-heat the oven and said it would take 30-45 minutes after opening for it to be ready. The Papari Masali (papadums) were decent, as were the Chamuças de Frango (samosas). An order of jirra rice is definitely enough for 2. My wife had a spicy chicken curry dish that isn't on the menu on the web site. I had a Seekh kabab, a grilled minced lamb kabab. It was good, but overcooked. The total price was 36 Euros, including beers, which I have nothing to complain about. All in all, it was, as I said before, mediocre. The server and staff were friendly as always. We will probably return for a late night curry after a night of Bairro Alto drinking, but there are other Indian restaurants in Lisboa that have been recommended by an Indian friend that we will likely pursue for a planned dinner next visit.
