Fantastic food and lovely service. We've eaten here twice and can't wait to come back.

Very good momos. I normally get the "jhol momo" but I got the fried one today. Both were very good. They have a lot of food options as well. They have a small outdoor dining (parking area) with heater. Call them before you go so that you don't have to wait ! read more

This is easily the best Indian food I have ever had. That's the start. The location is in a cool part of Albany with so many good eateries. I've come to this restaurant for years and just realized I had never given them the review they deserve. Ok so the food is fantastic, as I've already described. (Try the chicken momo) but the people are super nice and remember their customers. They are such gracious and kind people. Great place! read more

Really loved the Chicken Tikka Kabob, very tasty. We also had the Pan Fried Lamb, basically lamb karahi (lamb, onion, bell peppers and tomatoes), which was fantastic. The naan and roti were excellent as well. Good prompt polite service, we waited for nothing. Good ambiance, the music wasn't too loud, and the restaurant is well lit. Overall a good dine-in experience, and most likely great take-out. read more

Great staff, always friendly and helpful. Love the potato naan and cheese naan. Good veggie options.

We arrived right around opening time on a Tuesday evening and the place was empty. That didn't deter us, though, because of the overwhelmingly positive Yelp reviews... Our server was excellent, very attentive, happy to answer any questions. I liked that he asked us for our "heat" preferences for each dish, and the resultant dishes matched our heat expectations. We ordered the Samosa Chaat as an appetizer, something we've never had before (vegetables samosa smashed and topped with garbanzo, yogurt, onion, spices and chutney). This totally addressed any issues we've had before with samosa being kind of dry and with a one-note flavor. We loved this dish! Great way to start. We were also served a complimentary soup starter. Our main courses were full of flavor, the tandoori fish served as three large pieces, very moist inside. And the Kukhura ko Masu ra Saag (essentially saag paneer with chicken instead of the paneer/cheese) was perfect. To top it all off, we had chai, freshly brewed and pre-sweetened. All staff were courteous, warm, and helpful. We'll definitely be back. read more

Awesome Nepalese and Indian food! Great vegan options as well Didn't have to wait in line when my husband and I went out Monday evening. Food had great flavor! I recommend ordering the veggie steamed dumplings! I ordered the Pharsi ra Chana ko Tarkari (vegan, gf) and it was so tasty especially with the fall-esque windy weather we've been having! read more

Best Nepali restaurant in the Bay Area. I love their lunch combo. And the family that runs the place are lovely. Such humble and welcoming people. The food and the staff makes me return. read more

Ordered food via Grub Hub pretty close to their closing time. Food arrived super hot, seemed really fresh and the flavors were really really good! We had the Chicken Tikka, the Cauli Chana and Garlic Naan. I over did it on the Naan and got 2 orders, 1 would have been plenty for 2 people. We'll definitely be eating here again! read more

I've had lunch here twice now and it's been delicious both times. I really appreciate the spacious outdoor seating area, and the lunch specials are perfect -- just the right portions and love the variety of food you get (soup, salad, naan, side, rice, main). I meant to take a photo each time, but I always get too excited once the food arrives! read more

Everest Kitchen is the best Indian/Nepalese place in the Bay Area, and we have tried quite a few. Their saags and flavorful chow meins stand out, and their curries and tandooris are also top notch. We have been enjoying their "cheesy" naan for decades. On our last take-out visit we ordered our favorite side dish, the raita (seasoned yogurt) which they do so well. There is nothing quite so subline as a spicy curry or naan with some cooling raita. We were very disappointed to receive something called "avocado raita" which has some strange, offensive spices. We considered it inedible and it is now in our compost container. Their online menu no longer shows raita but only this "avocado" concoction. Everest, if you are reading this, please either change it back or at least make "plain" raita available as well! Thank you. read more

This is out family's favorite restaurant in the area!Great food and great customer service!Chicken momo,garlic naan and goat curry are some of our favorite dishes. Good atmosphere and very nice people! read more

Was in the area and had to pick-up some food. We had Lamb Tikka Masala, Tofu Saag, Chana Masala + Garlic Naan. All very good. Medium Spicy was kinda spicy. Be warned. Would definitely go again. read more

Everest Kitchen is one of our forever favorites whether you're having a lunch with 1-3 friends or a dinner with 10 people. Everyone we have taken there has loved it. The food is always excellent. There is something for everyone. They can make your dish mild to spicy. The menu allows you to choose your own meal or to share your dishes family style. I ate here with 10 friends recently. Mr Rinky had a Thali dish which included soup, rice, papadam. I had the veggie momo s (they also have chicken) which came with a tasty sauce. My friends had chow mien, curry dishes, chicken thali, and other dishes/ I ordered papadam for the table. The wafers were cooked perfectly--thin and just the right amount of crispiness. (Most places burn them) The. prices are reasonable.' The ambience is delightfully comfortable. You can actually hear your friends talk. We have eaten here 30+ times at the least! All 5 star experiences And lastly the staff is so sweet and welcoming. read more

This is really the best restaurant in the East Bay for a lunch Thali. You get six or seven different dishes served in separate compartments on the plate, each one spiced deliciously. A truly nutritious and delicious meal. I was so happy to discover that Everest café, which used to be up the street in Albany re-opened several months ago here close to San Pablo Ave. They have always had the best Indian/Nepalese food in the Bay Area, and I was so disappointed when their first restaurant closed down, as I used to go there 2 to 3 times per week. My friend told me last night about the new location, and I came here immediately. The staff is the same, the food is the same superb quality. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The new venue is larger and much better lit than the previous location, so the move should turn out to be a boon for this fabulous restaurant Just came back today, great veggie Momos and the lunch special is fantastic. My son ordered chicken tikka masala, and I got the pumpkin curry, both delicious and filling Came back again. We order takeout from here once a week, but it's so nice to be back in the restaurant itself. I cannot resist the veggie memos, the lentil soup is delicious, and the service is really fast December 22: I come here at least once a week. Why? Because the food here is made with love. The service is performed with love. I don't mean to sound all touchy-feely, but this family run restaurant exudes positive vibes. I've never ever been disappointed with a meal here, and every time I come, I'm always delighted. This place is a treasure... read more

I go here for the classic Chicken tikka masala and Lamb tikka masala. The garlic naan is one of the best I've tasted in the area and is always fluffy! I recommend this place if you're looking for some good Indian food. The staff is also accommodating and kind! read more

Great Momo, Jhol Momo and Thali. Great food. Great service. Recommend this place for sampling true Nepali food. read more

Lovely restaurant. I came here for lunch & really enjoyed my experience. Food was flavorful & delicious. Service was efficient & friendly. Décor pleasant & clean. I ordered Veggie Kofta Masala. It was not a part of lunch special but they were very accommodating & made it a special for me. It was brought out on a tray with soup, salad & rice. Naan came with the meal as well. Everything looked very appealing. Veggie Kofta was soft & moist. The masala sauce was excellent. Mango lassi went great with the meal. I will definitely return. read more

We stopped by after an event close by to get some dinner to go. The momo's were albsolutely delicious

Delicious indian food! Highly suggest getting the lunch special. It's a great price for great food.

We were very sad when they temporarily closed at the start of shelter-in-place but were super excited when they reopened. This is my family's favorite restaurant on Solano. My young kids will request this place every time we ask them where we should get dinner from. I have used the promise of an Everest Kitchen meal to get them to behave. Our staple orders are the Chicken Tikka Masala, Vegetable Korma, Chana Masala and Goat Curry. The Goat Curry is my absolute favorite. Naan of course is a must. My seven year old will polish off the entire serving of Chicken Tikka Masala by himself. He loves it that much. Even if all the chicken is gone, he wipe up every last bit of the sauce with rice or naan. read more

Wonderful restaurant owned by a wonderful family. We had an amazing time here and we really enjoyed the food. Thank you guys for delicious food and accommodating us with free drinks. I would highly recommend their momos and chowmein. read more

Great takeout on Christmas Eve! Everything was excellent, but special shout-out to the garlic naan - fluffy with just the right bit of chewiness. read more

Great Napalese/ Himalayan Cuisine. Rich, smooth seasoned sauces. Excellent Customer Service. Their Chicken Tikka Masala was very tasty with just enough heat without the burn, just how I ordered it. The Chutney's were Fresh and clean tasting. The Garlic Nan was Excellent !! My Husband ordered the Salmon Masala which is his fav. Usually Restaurants just have cheaper fish, like talapia or catfish, which we don't eat either, so the option of Salmon was great and tasty as well. A great comfortable spot to eat, no fuss no hassle. In door and outdoor seating available. Definitely a place to satisfy the palate and pocket, being reasonably priced for the quality and quantity given. read more

Chicken mo mos are the best. Definitely get the honey naan and butter chicken. Love this place. read more

Our group loved the food, service, and reasonable prices. The server helped us choose the best, versions of each dish, such as the chicken momos over the buffalo ones. The tandoori chicken was moist and incredible, the lamb saag intricately spiced, the momos substantial and rich, and the raita delicious and a big portion. My favorite dish was the lamb saag--highly recommend! We all eat at Indian and Nepalese places often and this restaurant stood out as a slightly different and better twist on the familiar. read more

My friend and I were looking for a nice outdoor place to eat and walked by Everest and checked it out. Lovely atmosphere for sitting outdoors, and the wait staff were very friendly. The food was tasty and they had a great lunch special that offered several options with lots of sampler items (soup, salad, chutney, naan, main entree). Highlight for me was the Samosa Chaat appetizer and the garlic naan, but the lamb curry and saag paneer were also delicious. I'd definitely go back...prices are reasonable, too! read more

Excellent food, service and lovely outside seating. They have a great thali combo lunch special.

Wanted momo's. Got em to go and they were fantastic. Next time delivery, with samosas --great. But today, even more amazing this dish I hadn't heard of or tried, Nimki Chaat which is a unique Nepali take on tostada or nachos: only a million times better. The shell is the samosa shell, the toppings, are chutney, yogurt, garbanzo beans, green onion and sauces---my new favorite dish! On top of all this they are well priced and really nice in person too! Best local Nepali I know of!!! read more

Great food! We came by chance and we've already returned twice; still happy with the food quality! Service is good and prices reasonable. We've added Everest Kitchen to our list of favs... It's definitely worth crusin' from our house, across Berkeley to dine here! read more

I'd have liked to rate this place 2.5 stars. Momo's soup was very bland. I've had pretty good momos in the Bay area and this was a let down. The portion of chow mein was ridiculously small and it was spaghetti noodles??? It definitely wasn't traditional egg noodles. Food here could be ok for a newbie but if you're looking for authenticity and are used to some spicy sauce and juicy momos, you might have to look elsewhere read more

Visited this restaurant from out of town, and ended up going both days I was in town, because it was WORTH the second trip! The Samosas were SO GOOD my entire party of four each ordered a personal samosa order "to go". I tried 5 different main dishes and a few sides. I recommend ordering the Chicken Korma, a side of Raita, garlic naan, and the chai tea (chaya). I ordered it medium spicy and I can't handle too much spice and it was fine for me. Should you go to Everest Kitchen? YES!!! MANY TIMES OVER!!! read more

We usually go to Hamro Aangan for Nepalese/Indian food but this may be our new favorite. Though pricier, we loved that they offered a Yelp Check-in promo or Groupon deal. The Everest ambience is more formal with attentive waiters and a better food/dining experience. Plus there is no line/wait. All items ordered were notable with the exception of the goat curry, garlic naan and rice (came with an entree). While they were still good in their own right, we thought the goat meat cuts, seasoning and texture of these items were slightly better at Hamro Aangan. Here are the dishes we ordered: - Chicken Tandoori: moist, tender - Goat Curry: good - Saag Paneer: great texture, flavor - Chicken Momo: juicy, fresh - Vegetable Pakoda - great crunch - Garlic Naan - good read more

Momos were delicious! Customer service Awesome! The only thing that we didn't like were the Samosas, it had no flavor at all. I'm still going back for more momos read more

I had Chicken Curry, serves with Basmati Rice, Daal Soup, Raita, Papad, Naan and Aachar. An Absolutely enjoyable and satisfying lunch. I am going back soon and want to try their 'spicy/hot' version. read more

Came in with a friend for dinner on Friday night. The restaurant had customers but didn't seem overly busy. We were sat right away and got our order taken within a reasonable amount of time. Food was good, though we had a bit of a wait for our momo dumplings, which came way after our main meal arrived (in fact we were done eating the main entree when the momos finally arrived). They also forgot my friend's tea, and she had to ask for it after waiting and waiting. They comped the tea, but at that point I feel they should have, since we were done our meal. Also, we asked that our leftovers be wrapped up. The server looked at us like we were crazy. Not sure what that was about. The thing that annoyed me was I specifically asked for my momo sauce to be wrapped up as well and the server said she could do it, and I got home only to find no sauce. So I'm bummed out I have no sauce for my momos. So: okay place, okay food, a little pricey for the size of the servings, but service could be better. Not really sure if I'll go back. read more

In an area FILLED with Indian restaurants, this is a happy surprise discovery during COVID times. Firstly: the food is tasty, and a different spin on typical Indian food than I'm used to, the tandoori for example isn't the usual radioactive red.; but it was fantastic. The chicken tikka was very good. Plump somosas are good. The onion naan wasn't the way I like it, with exposed onions, so go with garlic or plain. The service is.. Fantastic. Masks were work, sanitizer and gloves provided and meals packed nicely, labeled and given great care. They seem to be sincere with wanting you to return and like their jobs. Even during this time. We will be back for takeout and can't wait to try in person when that time comes. Their location has a history of fleeting restaurantS l. they deserve to stick around. read more

Ever time I visit this restaurant, I am so thrilled and pleased by the quality and deliciousness of the food and the kindness of the staff. Whenever I'm in the Berkeley / Albany area, this is my go-to spot! Highly recommended! read more

This restaurant had me miss Nepal so much. They clearly care about what they're making, from preparation to flavors to customer service. Everything was so delicious: chicken Momo's, Tikka masala, saag paneer, pumpkin paneer, naan, everything was amazing. We might've ordered too much but it was perfect the next day for lunch. Coming back real soon! read more
