Nepali Samosa
Julia T.

Clean interior with a lovely ambiance. Calm music and beautiful wall depictions. Servers were very kind, attentive, and polite. We ordered the Nepali Samosa, chicken korma, and butter chicken. All were very delightful. Juicy pieces of chicken. Sauces were very rich and maybe a bit heavy for my liking due to all the heavy cream but I loved the flavor on the korma. Samosas were delectable and I loved the salty powder they sprinkle on top. Paid about 65$ in total.

Butter Chicken
Xia Wen G.

First time at Everest curry but definitely won't be the last! I got the chicken tikka masala and it was a flavor explosion. It was creamy and tomatoey! My friend got the butter chicken and that was also so dang good. We got a side of garlic naan and that was to die for. The servers were also very attentive! I will be back to try more stuff on their menu!

When I called ahead and asked about the buffet, an employee responded immediately. Didn't keep me on hold. The lunch buffet is weekdays, from 11:00 am until 2:30 pm. It's $21.70. It's traditional Indian cuisine which includes Butter Chicken and Tandoori Chicken but also has unique dishes such as Goat Curry and papadum. The vegetarian Korma was good. It's green peas, green beans, red bell peppers and potatoes in a cream sauce. Masala chai tea is included with the buffet. Similar to the old Curry Club, they give you a choice of original or garlic naan. The hostess told me to sit anywhere I liked. This new restaurant is worth a repeat visit.

Plain Naan
Matthew P.

I came here with a party of 3; we ordered the Everest sampler, chicken tikka masala, chicken saag, salmon tandoori, and garlic naan. Decent portions, I think the Everest sampler is really worth it given that it's only $13 but you get so much variety and decent amount of food (the sauces are so yummy too). My favorite dish (which I failed to capture a picture of) was the salmon tandoori - the dish is good on its own, but topped off with the sauces from the sampler, the combination of flavors elevates the dish. The only miss was the chicken tikka masala, in my opinion the curry is too sweet, but the chicken pieces were still tender. The chicken saag was ok. The hostess/server was very friendly, and when we asked to sub out the shrimp due to allergies, she was very accommodating and subbed it out with chicken at no extra charge! I do wish water refills were more frequent given that there was only one other group besides mine. I love the traditional Indian music playing in the background - really adds to the ambiance! Overall, this was a solid experience and would visit again during their buffet deal.

Paneer Tikka Masala to go (very tasty, don't forget to add rice)
Jenny P.

Everest Curry on Broadway is a good spot for delicious AND vegetarian friendly curries! My favorites are the excellent vegetarian paneer tikka masala and the vegetarian coconut curry. I can attest that both take out and dine in are reliable options, though I'll say dining in is a relaxing experience with polite and attentive staff, and I would recommend it. There's a whole page of veggie options, but I did not ask which were vegan. I would hazard a guess that vegan mods are available, and the samosas are likely vegan. I recommend the veggie samosas too. They're filled with savory goodness. The veggie samosas and paneer (a soft, mild cubed cheese and solid substitute for meat in Indian dishes, highly recommend) tikka masala are my favorite items on the menu. I am not a huge fan of having to purchase rice separately for the curries. Make sure you don't forget, though for dine in they'll probably ask if you would like to order some. We have definitely forgotten to add it to our take out order and have had to make our own rice instead, oops. Prices are a little steep due to this, in my opinion. Naan is also an add on, and two people who are hungry might need to order two orders of it. Personally, I think their regular and garlic naan are good, but not great. Curries and samosas are where they shine. I am very pleased with the quality of service here, and there's never been a long wait for food. There is unmetered street parking only, and alas, I have no bathroom update to report (yet). I recommend stopping in for some Indian-Nepalese food at Everest Curry. It's hard to stay away even when it's warm outside! PS! There is a lunch buffet from 11:30-1:30 (ish, I may be off 15 minutes or so as I didn't take a pic of the sign on my last visit oops again bad yelper) but we've yet to try it.

Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Saag Chana Masala, Samosa Chat, pakora, naan
Anissa R.

Wow, I'm so apologetic to have to lower my score, but I have to update y'all. My husband and I picked up to-go from Everest tonight because we were craving Indian food. We were so disappointed. There was no flavor in the tikka masala or the chana saag. It's changed for the worse. We ordered through GrubHub and didn't notice it doesn't give you a spicy level option so our food was bland. We usually order through Everest's website and they provide a spicy level option. If you're going to try this spot, only order from their website; that was our mistake. What wasn't our mistake is the lack of flavor in nearly every dish. The rice, garlic basil naan, and chutneys had no flavor. The mint cilantro chutney was the worst; it wasn't anything like it used to be. It's now milky and watery. Yuck. Two stars for the appetizers being nice and crispy, and two stars for the pleasant pick up experience. That's all. I'd love to try Everest again, but only if they go back to how they were when they opened.

Veggie Samosas with tamarind chutney and mint dipping sauce. 10/10!!!
Krystle T.

The service was great & the food was fresh and flavorful! This is my new go-to Indian dinner spot!!! We loved everything we ordered and will try opti ok ns next time! They are under new management and we will be back to try more! New owners are so gracious and provided great service!

Best momo in Sacramento region. I came here with my family a little before noon, to order momos but after our arrival, we found out that there's buffet lunch. We still ordered a plate of momo and we did buffet. Delicious foods, soothing vibes and Courteous staff. We enjoyed our lunch here. I highly recommend this place for everyone to come and try it out.

Chicken Tikka Masala
Janet R.

Great food, service, and ambiance. The samosas were really good too. I would come back.

Vegetarian sampler
ellen m.

This place had been on my Sacramento to try list and I was not disappointed! First things first, the spices in the lamb curry can't be beat. The mix from the vegetable sampler order, the lamb curry plate, and a side of roti was more than enough for the two of us and it gave a great introduction into North Indian / Nepalese food. We didn't leave a grain of rice or drop of sauce on the plate. Their wine/beer menu is in the works but the potential pairings look excellent. Don't sell yourself short and give this place a try! This place is equally enjoyable to sit, eat, and dine in OR make an order to go and enjoy at home in cozies. Looking forward to my next visit, cheers.

Butter Chicken Thali
Tiffany W.

It was really good! Service was solid, they were attentive and checked up on us throughout our meal. The garlic basil naan was pretty good, I'm glad that we got it to pair with our curries. I tried thali for the first time but I think I'm a simple girl so will just do rice and naan with my curry in the future. The thali was very interesting, but I did like the middle curry looking one because it had paneer and potatoes. The butter chicken was good! I only get butter chicken curry but wanted to try something else as well. My friend got the coconut chicken curry; it was okay. Nothing super crazy, still really good though! It just paled in comparison to the butter chicken that that's just my personal preference speaking.

You can tell the chef really makes everything from scratch so it tastes like home cooked meals which is what I prefer. I've tried various dishes on their menu and all of them have been 5 out of 5. Our favorites are the veggie momo's, veggie chow mein, lamb biryani, okra curry and Chana masala. Also their chia hot tea is the best I've tasted outside the home - I drank chai as a child regularly since I lived with a family from Northern Kenya and this place is pretty darn close to how it tasted as a child.

By that, I actually mean juice as in non-alcoholic, not wine, which is technically also grape juice ;) They have this Navarro Pinot Grape Juice that we ordered to try out once, and now we are obsessed. Service can be a tad slow, whether it's busy or not, but the food is always very fresh and worth it. They say on the menu which items can take a little longer as well (momos are like 20 minutes, for instance). They are always friendly and welcoming.

Dishes like clay oven specialties, several types of curries, (seafood, chicken, goat, lamb), momos, biryani, soup and even Himalayan fried noodles and kabobs. Express Lunch menu (menu notes which items are gluten free and vegan), includes lentil soup, salad, butter naan and choice of white or brown rice. We really appreciated the brown rice option. Chicken tika masala - tandoori roasted chicken simmered in a mild creamy sauce. Our sweet server (owner?) mentioned that about 95% of the people love this dish and I am definitely in that group. Wonderful flavors and generous amount of tender chicken. Tofu, kale & potato curry - ingredients all simmered with basil and coconut milk. Very flavorful and seemed healthy. My husband would definitely order again. Our server was friendly, caring and was always smiling. Two servers were handling the entire dining room plus the outdoor diners and they were seamless in their efforts. Our server had recommended the tika masala to me and she was curious what I thought of it. I would order it again tomorrow! The interior is decorated comfortably. Located across the street from the town green. A lovely and enjoyable first time dining experience here.

Inside the restaurant there is a calming feeling as they were playing slow Hindu chanting music low on their sound system. The first server We began with was very young and maybe learning the menu still as he was really not that good at answering questions on the menu. As soon as we checked in on Yelp, suddenly service picked up. Another more experienced server brought us first, hand towels to wipe out hands (a nice touch, but the towels were almost cold when he brought them, was it an after thought?); and he also brought us complimentary cups of dal that were very tasty. The dishes we got were saag lamb, butter chicken, and organic channa masala, and garlic buttered Naan. Had our first server known how to describe menu better we may have chosen a few different items. He did recommend the butter chicken as one of his favorite so that's why we got it as we often enjoy it other places as well. It was very good, a classic with great sauce, probably the favorite dish. The saag lamb was good too, but we almost got the patak lamb, similar sounding dish but maybe creamier/ other veggie too? But our first server could not really describe difference well. I'm thinking we may have enjoyed the other dish better than saag lamb which was good, but felt the spinach was extremely over cooked, and so finely chopped almost like it was highly minced or powdered? But it was flavorful. The Channa Masala was on the dry side. We we're trying to decide on a saucy vegetable dish and we asked about this dish because we liked that it said organic. That same first server said it was saucy, but not that saucy. Each dish comes with your choice of white or brown rice, or steamed veggies. Two dishes we got brown rice with, and the third we got steamed veggies because we thought there would be more sauce overall to add them too. The rice was allot ( took quite a bit home); the veggies were this nice mix, but so boring with no taste, and what a waste. The veggies even had water floating in bottom of dish. It would be so much nicer if there were an option to have these lightly stirfried with a little flavor as an option ( they were completely bland) , and there was really not enough saucy stuff to add them to so only partially eaten, left remaining there on table instead of taking home with other stuff. We asked for a sample of their side sauces and we got a tiny (like a tablespoon each?) 3 dish sampling of their very tasty homemade mango sauce, tart and tangy cilantro mint sauce, and some sweeter tamarind sauce. But they were very tiny amounts. The Naan was light and crisp, very nice, but could barely taste garlic butter. We asked for our dishes to be medium heat and it was fairly mild for us still, but i guess with American palate, spicy can be relative. But oh well. We also had cups of chai (under $5.00) that had refills, and a glass of house white wine ( Murphy good Sauvignon Blanc was only $8.00 so that was a deal). I'm giving 4 stars for their efforts, but hope they read this so they can improve a few things.

If you're a fan of eastern cuisine, this Tibetan lunch spot is a must-visit…read more The Meal: it's really only one thing to choose. I expect they might make a different meal every day and you just go in and order large or small. Those are your choices. They don't have any spicy condiments and I guess that's pretty normal for Himalayan food. They did slice up a jalapeño for me so I was able to get that capsaicin rush that I demand. If you like spicy stuff, I might recommend bringing your own hot sauces. However, I had no idea I was stopping for lunch and I forgot to bring such things (I clear out any food from my car every night due to the bear situation where I live) So, I just bought one of their five dollar hot chili concoctions that appears to have primarily Cayenne peppers and oil in it. There's no ingredients listed on the bottle so I can't tell for sure. This was a great find because one of the few places I've been missing in the Sierra that we had in Santa Cruz is Tibetan Momos. Sadly, these folks did not have any Momo's, ( Himalayan versions of Gyoza ) They do have a large TV on the screen that I didn't notice at first, and it was playing scenes from Tibet almost like a screensaver. But it had photos of lambs and other farm animals. Very cute. Definitely this contributed to the ambience. It'd be cool if they have door seating, but I didn't notice anything of the sort. Anyway, I'm coming back to Sacramento tomorrow so I'll probably eat here again and find out if they do change up the meals. But all in all this was a good experience. I suppose I can check this website too to find out more. https://www.himalayavegan.com

So nice to find a vegan restaurant not too far from home…read more I loved the easy menu style. Basically: do you want a small plate or a big plate? Soup? Dessert? Simple. Best part is all the food is delicious. We started with 2 bowls of mung bean w/ mixed vegetable soup. It was a true creamy soup, so I put my spoon down and drank it out of the bowl. Sorry manners? Then ordered 2 large plates of short grain brown rice, kidney beans w/ onion & garlic, baked yam, kabocha & butternut squash w/ garlic, collard greens and kale w/ shiitake mushroom sauce, and a mixed salad w/ basil lemon & agave dressing. Everything was very good. My favorites were the kidney beans, the yam combo, and the greens with the basil lemon dressing. We also got a Bahn Mi. Loved that it was really full. I don't like a skimpy Bahn Mi. For dessert, we took home slices of Coconut Pie, Chocolate Pie, Key Lime Pie, and the Himalaya Pie (layered with key lime, strawberries, coconut, and drizzled chocolate). My favorite was the Key Lime Pie -- tart and creamy. Then the Chocolate Pie, which was soft and indulgent. The Himalaya Pie was fun because every bite tasted a little different. The only one I didn't care for was the Coconut Pie because the texture was a bit hard from the coconut fat. One of the best things about this place is that they change things up based on what's seasonal. We travel with our dogs and called ahead to ask about outdoor seating. They don't officially have patio seating, but they kindly pulled a table outside for the two of us. They accommodate well-behaved dogs, and there was a great overhang for shade. We felt very comfortable sitting out there, so don't be shy about asking if you're traveling with your pooches. I briefly saw the inside and it was neat and well organized. I also saw someone bring their own container, which I loved. Definitely a spot we'll return to.

Decent Overall Indian & Nepalese Cuisine Restaurant…read more SITREP My pal-about-town Bambi took me to a new place to celebrate a new tasty find: the New Kathmandu Kitchen! THE SETUP New Kathmandu has a very nice & varied menu with many different selections: beef, chicken, prawns, other seafood, tofu, etc. you can find your favorite protein, combination of proteins, or vegetable proteins to form a base of your spicy dish. OUR MENU CHOICES Bambi's: * Vegetable Pakoras ($6.95) - we started with these scrumptious vegetable appetizers with 2 different spicy dipping sauces. * Chicken Tikka Kabab ($17.95) - entree only - it was good, but a bit spicier than Bambi had wanted. Mine: * Raita ($4.95) - a yogurt-based Indian side dish made with yogurt, vegetables, and a mix of spices and herbs (good to have to help *cool down* the tongue from the spicy main dishes. * Chicken Tikki Masa ($17.95) - entree only - creamy and smooth, and delicious. But not enough heat. * Steamed Basmati Rice ($2.45) - a necessary accompaniment for Tikki Masala sauce in IMHO. * A small soda ($3.45) The main hiccup was that my Tikki Masala was supposed to be the spicy dish, and Bambi's Tikka Kabab was supposed to be the mild dish, but they came out opposite. But not too disastrous: as I mentioned my creamy smooth Raita was a godsend for Bambi's abused tongue. DEETS * Located in East Sacramento along J Street, from Midtown, New Kathmandu is easy to get to by BUS 30 (CSUS). * It also has it's own private lot behind the restaurant. In a quasi-residential community, there seems to be ample street parking as well. PRICING METRICS THAT MAKE ME SWALLOW HARD * Unlike most other restaurants, New Kathmandu surcharge charge on your meal if using your credit card: our % ended up as an extra $1.75 on my credit card (my payment-preference). Note: There is no surcharge to use your debit card, and obviously none with cash. * Everything here, while delicious, is a la carte: there is no combo dish per se that includes your desired dinner items: the Chicken Tikki Masala, the Jasmine Rice (I chose to get), and the Na'an (I chose NOT to get) were all separate charges. But not extra expense metrics that were TOO unpalatable (I might even come back here), but when considering your favorite restaurant choices (and you envision all the options you like in your head), I'm more prone to go to a restaurant that provides more bang for its buck without *nickeling & diming* us patrons. And I have to admit, this is nowhere near the worst fees & extra charges experience I've had recently, although this restaurant-going metric is happening more and more often these days with a LOT of different restaurants (I hate showing up to places and only then getting ambushed with extra expenses that were unheard of 3-5 years ago). THE LOWDOWN Overall, a yummy exotic dinner experience with excellent dinner options and tasty appetizers, all with spicy scrumptious spices and sauces. With the mentioned hiccups and small disappointments, between a 3 and a 4, so I'll round up to 4 stars. But definitely worth checking out if feeling Indian food and in the area.

Food: I was impressed with the variety of food options for their lunch buffet. All food treys had food and it looked fresh as if it's made throughout the day and not just one time. The fried fish, goat curry and chicken tandoori were some of my favorites. I also really enjoyed having some chai with my food, which is also included as part of the buffet. They also have a mango ice cream machine but that's for me to try next time. Service: Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted by the employee with a big smile. He helped me find a seat and guided me on which items were a must try. The employees seem happy and they also check in with you regularly to make sure your experience is going well. If they employees seem happy then it tells you what you need to know about the place. Cleanliness: This place looks clean both outside and inside. I noticed that dirty plates are picked up quickly and no messy food in the buffet area. Floors are clean and the walls look freshly painted. I highly recommend this place and encourage you to check it out for yourself.

It's been a long time since I reviewed Mehfil. Well, let me just say they have maintained a great…read morebusiness through all the changes over the years. The food is delicious. One thing that has changed is they no longer have the customer loyalty cards that provided a free buffet after purchasing a dozen or so. But, the food is so good! The goat curry is off the chain! That was a dish that wasn't typically on the lunch buffet years ago, but it was there this visit and it was fantastic! They no longer serve naan and water to each table individually, both are on the buffet to serve yourself. Really the main service now during lunch buffet is clearing plates. The dining room is still kept clean and tables are cleared and reset quickly maintaining a neat and orderly dining area. The decor is traditional Indian artwork that creates a nice vibe for patrons eating in the dining room. I'm sure we'll be back!
