Indoor seating
Viviana H.

The servers and service here is lovely! They're so patient and friendly! This was my first time here and was seated right away for dinner on a weekday. There was a HAPPY HOUR FOOD menu and we took advantage of that and ordered the Momo's (dumplings) and the ribs, and both were delicious!! We got the butter chicken with rice and it was creamy and delicious !! The restaurant has plenty of open space and restrooms were pretty clean. The hard part was parking as street parking isn't so easy around here and there's no lot. Storefront parking could also be difficult during busy hours as it is a busy street. I'd definitely come back for the food and service!!

chicken sekuwa & chow mein
Gabi M.

4.5 stars They cook with olive oil & canola. Nice place, got there in time for happy hour (3-6) and got a cocktail & mocktail, veggie momos & chicken momos. Both delish. We had chicken sekuwa which was amazing & chicken chow mein also yummy. I like the Nepalese style of chow mein, good amount of veggies (broccoli, carrot, a few green peppers) & spices & small well cooked pieces of chicken. Too full for dessert but we will be back. Service was very good.

This restaurant is quite spacious once you enter. We received complimentary lentil soup! The steamed momos were alright. If you dip them in the sauce they really tasted better. The chicken chow mein was a bit different from Chinese style but I did thoroughly enjoy it......really full of color. The chicken tikka masala wasn't bad. They use chicken breast. I prefer thighs but perhaps the breast is more traditional. The pharsi chana is reminded me of a vegetarian curry but was pleasantly surprised by the taste. The garlic naan was good. Service was fine. It's interesting how Nepali / Indian food can differ from restaurants. This place is worth revisiting.

Chicken Momos

Cute space, delicious food, and friendly service. If that wasn't enough, they also have a great happy hour with both food and drink specials! We liked everything we tried.

This is my go to place for a good meal and great service. I took my mom for lunch and the food is really good as usual and the place is always clean. We tried the lemon ginger tea and it was really good! We love the garlic naan. Yummy. Thank you Everest kitchen for keeping good quality and delicious food!

Garlic Naan
Alex C.

While searching Yelp for a new restaurant to try out, my wife discovered Everest Kitchen on Solano. One of our other favorite Himalayan/Nepalese restaurants is also located on Solano, so we were eager to see if Everest would be comparable. Upon walking in, the establishment is quite modern, spacious, and has capacity for quite a few tables. The handful of times that we've been here however, we've yet to see it at max capacity. They also have a bar for additional seating options. One of our favorite things here so far is the Garlic Naan. Everest does an amazing job of making naan that is light, fluffy, and crispy. Do NOT make the mistake of coming to Everest and not ordering the garlic naan! On a flip note, we were not as big of a fan of the wheat naan. Other favorites include: Butter Chicken (Creamy Curry): A moist, delicious chicken thigh simmered in a creamy onion and tomato-based sauce. Served with a side of rice. Salon Tikka Masala (Creamy Curry) Service here is extremely friendly and very consistent. They'll always make sure to stop by your table to check on your meal and if they need to clear any plates. And they'll help you box up any leftovers you may have at the end as well. Parking is available for free at the street level. It gets pretty busy on Solano, so I recommend the side streets if you can't find parking directly on Solano itself.

Veg Samosa
Duha S.

We got the veg samosa to go. It was almost 9$ for two samosas. While the samosas looked fresh and homemade, they lacked flavor. The inside was mainly mashed. The sauces (mint and tamarind) also severely lacked flavor. Even salt would have been nice. For the mint it felt like I was just adding water to my samosa. The samosas are 2-3$ more expensive than nearby stores so I suggest you get them there. We got these to go but the store was very beautiful in the inside and the staff was kind.

Garlic Naan
Terence T.

Quite empty when we walked in but the treat we were about to get was amazing! Service was very friendly yet not in your face, I like that Started with Samosa Chaat which had a great mix of flavours and textures. For three people this was a great starter. We got garlic naans for our two curries and their flavour and texture was banging, perfect mix of form vs buckling under the curry sauces, regardless of your choice of hands or cutlery, a solid pick And that's not even the curries! The saag paneer was made with a wonderful thickness, and also was not overloaded with cheese so a great balance. The Goat curry was CRAZY. The only downside for me was that it was not as thick as I would have liked, closer to consistency of water. We got spicy level for both of these and I can take spice. Only the goat curry has a noticeable spice level, both very manageable. I WILL be back, super solid and more on the menu to try!

Vegetable Chowmein
Sandra T.

Came here for happy hour and it did not disappoint! I favor a vegan diet and they had numerous options. The staff were friendly, professional, attentive. The place is clean and modern. I enjoyed the music ( contemporary jazz cover band music) the food was delicious and offered my preferred medium heat. I would highly recommend this place if you like Napoli/Indian food. This would be a cute place for date night.

Chili chicken momo, delicious.
rxbbyy g.

Great food, amazing service! GREAT FOOD QUALITY. Me and my friends really enjoy the vibes that this restaurant has to offer and obviously the food. My favorite dish here is the chili chicken momo, definitely a 10/10 in my book.

Entrance & bar area
Donna N.

Parking on Solano is challenging especially @ lunch. New location, spacious, light & airy, attractive bar ! Very good selection of thali / lunch specials served on a metal tray, every compartment full plus naan & papadam on top ! Also choice of white or brown rice ! Server was helpful & attentive, flexible in creating thali inclusive lunch selections that were not on the menu ! Many vegan selections, always a plus for me ! Delicious steamed veggie dumplings came w/ yummy dipping sauce ! Tasty & filling !

Garlic Naan
PJ D.

One of my favorite Nepali spots in the bay area for overall quality, price, and service! It's very reliable and has a great variety of classic Nepali dishes. One of those spots that you can keep going back to. I love the soup on their jhol momo, the garlic naan has the perfect bite, and it's so nice to get flavors that remind me of my parents' home cooked meals. Great for going in person or ordering via delivery as well.

Farallon Gin & Tonic and Old Fashioned Nepal
Joseph T.

Everest now has Happy Hour and in my opinion, one of the best around! 3p-6p, 7 days a week and they have a wonderful menu to order small plates. The cocktails were great! We ordered an Nepal Old Fashioned and Farallon which was a gin drink. All the plates were absolutely delicious and my ultimate fav was the Pani Puri. A shell filled with spicy potatoes and chickpeas sits atop of a shot glass of spicy water. Pour the water into the shell, enjoy all the flavors and repeat. There's outdoor and indoor table service available. The crew here is wonderful and friendly. We've never experienced bad service here. Being this place is on Solano, it's a perfect place to people watch! Try the Happy Hour!! I know we'll be back for more!

If you don't get the tuna melt or the pesto chicken with a side of their pasta salad, you're doing life wrong. Also, treat yourself to one of the cannolis - you won't regret it. For your ambience, sit outside. It's seriously so cute and lovely back there and you'll be surprised how little of the busy street you hear. It's seriously like stepping into someone's backyard for some of the best food you've ever had.

I've been here twice, so I'm surprised I haven't posted a review yet. The food is really good!…read more Parking in the area can be tough, but I've lucked out with finding a spot across the street both times, though I did have to drive around a bit on my first visit. I like that they have a patio area, but it's been full each time I've been, so I haven't had a chance to sit outside. The staff is kind, though they tend to be a bit slow when taking orders at the front. I guess it's nice that they don't rush things, but it can be a bit frustrating when the line is long and they're chatting with each person ordering, which feels like forever. However, once you sit down, the food is delivered quickly. During my first visit, I ordered the Lobster Roll with fries, a donut to-go, and we shared an order of Fried Mozzarella Sticks. The donut was very mild; I've had way better vegan donuts, so I wouldn't get one again. I thought the lobster roll was good, but not great. It did not remind me of a lobster roll at all and was too acidic in my opinion, so I wouldn't get that again either. I loved the mozzarella sticks, though. As a vegan, that typically dislikes vegan cheese, they were a hit. My non-vegan best friend loved them too! During my second visit, I ordered a Jalapeño Business sandwich with potato salad, rocky road to-go, and mozzarella sticks to share since I loved them so much the first time. My friend got a Buffalo Ranch Fried Chicken sandwich, and we decided to swap halves to try more things. I love spicy food, so if I had to choose a favorite, I'd pick my sandwich over hers, but both sandwiches were fantastic! The potato salad was good, but kind of bland for my taste. The rocky road was so yummy, and like last time, the mozzarella sticks did not disappoint. I love supporting fully vegan restaurants and will definitely go back to try more items on the menu. Maybe brunch next time I'm in the area? Not sure, but I highly recommend dropping by. Whether you're vegan or not, they have something tasty for everyone. In fact, each time I've gone, it's been with non-vegan friends, and they all say they'd eat here again.

Pacifica Roll (10/5 stars) - the best thing we ate, perfect creation of flavors that don't overwhelm each other, it's perfectly savory Poke Salad (5/5) - does it tastes like fish? No. But it's a great combination of textures, you have the chewy king oyster mushrooms and soft fried tofu, the crunch of the veggies and the cashew dressing is addicting Da Bao (5/5) - I didn't like the vegan spam alone (I personally like this other brand more) but here they paired it well with veggies and plum wine sauce that makes it work. The vegan spam here is too smokey for my tastes but together it's good. Roasted Garlic Miso Ramen (2/5) - Honestly, it was the only not good thing we had. The broth was neither garlicky or miso-y. It was very mushroomy. It was all one could taste. The spam did not fit with the ramen and was very jarring to taste in the ramen. Yuzu Matcha (5/5) - It's sour but not too sour. Like it wakes you up witout making your face pucker. Absolutely cannot wait to come back!

A true hidden gem right at the bottom of Solano Ave in Albany!…read more I'm embarrassed to admit that Picnic has been around for about 5 years in the east bay and I've just tried it for the first time this week. But I'm so glad I was finally introduced to it. The staff greet you promptly when you enter and you can even watch them work effortlessly together in the open prep-station behind the counter. They have a gorgeous display of deli items, wines, cheeses, cold sides, and even some cute candles & house made croutons. They've got everything you would need for an elevated picnic or even a barbecue with the family. They have an intriguing selection of house made sausages-- the Chicken Tikka Masala sausage caught my eye and I can't wait to try it. They also sell whole smoked quail that are seasoned heavily yet each bite has just the right amount of smokiness, spices, and salt. Their hot food items and sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch during your break from work or on your way home. There are also a few counter seats if you want to enjoy your meal there. So far I've tried the smoked quail, the Muffaletta sandwich, and their green lentil soup with chicken + veg. The sandwich was filled to the brim and each bite was a flavor bomb. The lentil soup was very comforting & paired well with the smoked quail. I'm looking forward to trying everything they have to offer.

I really wanted to love this place. Very small and quirky, limited menu. I'm not really a "salad is…read morea meal" person, although my two best friends are. They were very happy with their arugula salads. I ordered the mac n cheese which was okay. Even though I grew up in El Cerrito, I sometimes feel like my NorCal green card has expired. I've lost touch with my small batch, organic self. (Although I have never liked arugula) This store is adorable and just the kind of independent neighborhood place that should be frequented and appreciated. Unfortunately I also had to use the bathroom and they don't have one for customers. So they recommended walking a block away to the BevMo. So I guess that added some negative feelings.
