Great food and service. Everything we ordered was delicious and food was made quickly and fresh. We ordered: The stuffed naan (with berries) 2 of the ginger lemonade drinks 1 Taj Mahal beer - husband loved it Fish vindaloo - curry sauce was amazing Goat curry Chicken momos Pulavu - rice was quite buttery but tasted amazing!!!! Had lots of leftovers and was given to go containers! Will def be back! Highly recommend if your in the area. read more

I have only ordered delivery from this place but the food is excellent. I just ordered delivery and my order of the chicken momo dumplings arrived still HOT! I was impressed. You rarely ever get delivery nice and hot. Delivered faster than the ETA and the food has always been good :) Garlic Naan is nice and buttery, lamb curry is delicious. read more

We were looking for a lunch place to go to before returning to Folsom, so I yelped places in Berkeley. One of my dear friends really wrote an excellent review, so we decided to try it. The atmosphere is pleasant. It was a lovely sunny December day and we sat by the window. The server was a shy but charming young man with an heir of serenity. I wanted to try some Nepalese items since I am not familiar with them. So we ordered the garlic/herb soup as well as a lamb with mint dish. To top that off a chicken vindaloo with garlic nan, rice, and raita. Unfortunately overall we were disappointed. The soup was bland. I added some of the tamarind as well as some of the mint sauce. It was like a black hole sucking up any of the flavor. The lamb was ok with a thick sauce. One could taste the mint. The chicken vindaloo was not bad but did not taste like a vindaloo. The raita was decent. Perhaps my lesson should be that if you want Indian food and flavors go to an Indian restaurant, not a Nepalese one. read more

Not the best Nepalese food in the area but quite doable. The chicken momos were pretty bad, the shell was hard and biting into the chicken made some juices splurge. Overall pretty average food for top price for a college student. You'd be better off trying other Nepalese cuisines in the area. read more

Friendly and attentive staff. Plenty of street parking, but you may have to drive around a bit during dinner time. Their sauce that comes with their momo is delicious. If you're going to order momo, let them know as soon as possible because that's a dish that takes longer than most to prepare. read more

Ordered from DoorDash and the meal came hot temperature wise but extremely bland and flavorless. It's edible but you can get a better deal literally anywhere else with better tasting food. read more

I ordered two orders of chicken momos which were pretty good. But the chutney sauce that comes with it it was extremely WATERY and ruined the whole meal. Plus the sauce smelled like peanuts and alcohol. I'm not sure what this new recipe is that they have going on but I highly suggest that they change it back because the new sauce recipe ruins everything. I just found a hair in my mango lassi This place has really gone down hill read more

As far as Indian food in Berkeley goes, Mount Everest is definitely one of my favorites. The food is so flavorful and seems authentic based on my limited knowledge of Indian food! The chicken tandoori comes with a lot of meat on a sizzling plate with lots of onions and green peppers. Let the onions get nice and caramelized before eating it with the chicken, and make sure to squeeze that lemon! The meat is tender and nicely seasoned, but maybe a little dry. The chicken tikka masala is also really well-flavored and the sauce is the right creaminess to dip the naan in. The carb lover in me loves the huge portions of naan, and the texture is my favorite with both the chewy and the crunchy. The basmati rice is also very fragrant and a little more moist than what I usually get at Indian restaurants, but I liked it. Overall, the entire meal was really satisfying and filled me up the perfect amount. read more

One of my favorite Indian food restaurants in the area! I got the Chicken Tikka Masala Lunch Special and it was so satisfying! It came with so much Naan and the Garbanzo Bean Soup thing was strangely addicting. There wasn't much curry, so I had a good amount of rice left over, but it was a filling meal nonetheless. The service was also superb. A waiter came promptly to take our orders, stopped by several times to ask how we were doing, and continuously refilled our water without us even noticing that we needed more. Lastly, the interior decor was very nice and added to the overall experience of the place. It's a good sized restaurant and they even have a loft! I will definitely be coming back! read more

My favorite Indian food! I have to admit I never really branch out from my Chicken tikka masala and garlic naan, but this place does it so good! read more

Just okay is my assessment. I ordered the Mount Everest Herbal Soup (amazing), and the Mount Everest Sizzling Platter (not great). Put it this way, the rating would be at least a 4 if I'd just had the soup and called it a day. This spicy, garlicky soup was like heaven! I can still taste it when I think about it. The sizzling platter consisted of ground lamb, beef chunks, chicken, shrimp, and veggies; sounds amazing right? Well the plate is on the Tandoori menu which I am a fan of normally. In this case either the oven gave it an overly charred flavour, or maybe the meat was just overly salted. I'm not sure but it all had a very harsh, burned taste to it. And again, I normally enjoy the smokey tandoori flavour. Also when she refilled my water I didn't drink it because there were all these while flaky floaty things in it. If I go back I'll just totally indulge in some kind of creamy curry dish with a ton of their naan. read more

Mount Everest Berkeley, California 8pm Saturday11th August 2012 Four Stars Northern California Indian Food is amazing. We started with some Veggie Samosas, which were filled with very flavorful curried rice. The Lamb Vindaloo and Chicken Tika Masala were delicious. The sauces were thick and spicy. The meats were slightly dry. The homemade Naan and Garlic naan were warm, crispy, fluffy, and soaked up all the flavors of the food. I wished to eat this kind of food more often. read more

Jus as good as when I had it to go. The tika masala is to die for! The tandoori is ok but the tika masala makes up for it! Okay, I originally gave this place a 4 but I have to give it a 5. Why? Because I've been 24 hours since I had the tikka masala and I am craving it badly. That's a sign a restaurant deserves a 5. read more

Very, very good overall experience. Good vibe, clean and welcoming environment. Friendly and attentive staff. And then there is the food. I went with my baseline standard, chicken tikka masala and opted for the garlic Naan bread due to the number of reviews citing it as being great. The reviews were correct in both cases. My wife had chicken tikka. In honesty, it was overcooked or the pan was too hot or it sat in the pan too long. The onions were toast and the chicken was not moist at all. We agreed the garlic Naan was almost a meal itself. I will be back, and will venture into the purely Nepalese components of the menu. A very good place to enjoy this manner of food. read more

Stopped in to get dinner, and definitely was not disappointed! Both entrees I had were fantastic, got medium+ spice level and it was perfectly spicy! While the dishes are a bit on the expensive side, I only ate half before I was full and had a second meal for the next day! The only thing I thought was questionable was that nothing came with rice, you had to buy a side of rice. Personally I believe rice should just come with the meal, especially since it's a little expensive, but it was really delicious and I will certainly be back! The atmosphere was lovely and the staff were friendly :) read more

My favorite Indian food near campus. It's worth the walk if you want something better than House of Curries. The best part is the naan. It's so buttery and soft and perfect. I usually order the Channa Masala, but have also tried the Aloo Gobi, and Paneer Tikka Masala. It's best if you share things as a group, because the dishes get a little bit boring when you get towards the bottom of the bowl. But the naan never gets old! read more

Cozy atmosphere. Great momo! Generally very good Indian food. I go mostly for the momo.

You guys...this food is insanely good. We couldn't stop talking about how good it was. We ordered the chicken korma, AMAZING, the chicken chow mein, AMAZING (it was spaghetti noodles which we thought was weird but it ended up being so delicious), veggie momos (this one I could have done without but my daughter loved it)...ok and seriously the best onion naan I've ever had! And the paratha was yummy too!! Highly recommend! read more

This place is 3 blocks from where I live and I wouldn't be surprised if they start to recognize me because it's tasty and too close to not just be the easy first option. I'm not totally sure what we ordered, one was a tandoori chicken type thing and the other was a lamb curry type thing. Neither seemed like what I thought I ordered but they both tasted quite good. So yeah, not the most useful review in terms of recommendations but they're batting a high average so I give them a shot, especially if you live in the neighborhood. read more

Honestly the best Indian food i've had in Berkeley, and other places. I think it's best to come here for their lunch specials. I always get the Chicken Tikka Masala (extra spicy) and its amazing. Highly recommended and the service is good too. read more

Everest has got worst with time. I was one of the regular customer at this place since a long time. But their service and the attitude of serves have gone from bad to worst and even worsen. The food is stale, the plain naan are not cooked properly and you plain dough will appear, the pricing is skyrocketing. Not a place to visit. Don't waste your money. No value of money! read more

Loved it! Ordered Chicken Coconut, Lamb Saag, Vegetable Samosas, Garlic Naan and a mango lasso. The portions are quite small for the price but it was delicious. The size of each portion...I'll say, diameter wise, about 3 inches for each bowl. I love the feel of the restaurant with the dim lights, candles and Xmas lights. Would def. come back again for the naan and curry. :) Dinner: Chicken Coconut $11.99 Lamb Saag $12.99 Mango Lassi $2.99 Forgot the price of the others. read more

Very delicious, feel good food. Had this on a rainy day and it hit the spot! Super nice people and nice aura inside, makes you feel like you're getting a fresh home cooked meal. Not too expensive and definitely worth the price. I got chicken tikka masala (creamy and flavorful), mattar paneer (who doesn't love cheese), and garlic bread (garlic galore, yum). You won't regret eating here :) read more

A great spot for an Indian/Napalese meal! This is where the old Bison Brewery used to be! We started with samosas (yum!), chicken (Chicken Chilly? not sure of name but it was really really delish!) and beer. Some of the entrees (spicy chicken with veggies, aloo gobi, tandoori chicken, lamb curry) were awesome! Will go back just for those dishes again! Other entrees were okay. Not great but didn't fare any better than what I've had at other restaurants (palak paneer). Basmati rice, regular naan and garlic naan to wipe the plates clean! Service was good when the waitstaff was around but it was slow last night -- even though the restaurant had only 2 or 3 tables of customers! Took awhile to get flatware so we grabbed some from the unoccupied table next to us. Our water glasses were empty for a long time until I asked for refills. The lighting needs work too. It was too dark in there. All in all, food is reason to come here. And I will be back! read more

I have to say, this place trumps Taste of the Himalayas. Came here with a half-off deal and split the following: the sizzling mixed meat platter (tandoori cooked chicken wing, salmon, 2 prawns, lamb), garlic naan, mango lassi, and mixed momo. Mixed momo: delicious! The tomato yogurt spice dipping sauce it came with was delectable. Juicy, tasty. Mango lassi: normally good, as any other place. Tandoori platter: served crackling hot. Delicious, tender chicken. Slightly tough lamb, yummy sausagey thing, soft and juicy salmon. Lots lots of meat. Garlic naan: huge! Yum! Food is great here. Service, slightly slow, but at a decent pace. Good for a leisurely meal, but not if you're in a rush. Open, spacious. Was yummy before it became Mt Everest, yummy even now! Recommended, for sure. They also have lunch specials for around $7 with naan, rice, entree, and...maybe something else. read more

Tasty food at reasonable prices - especially if you bring a restaurant.com gift certificate with you! It's nice that you can specify how spicy you'd like the dishes to be... mild, medium, spicy, or very spicy. Definitely try the garlic naan - FYI, one order comes with only 4 pieces, so order enough to share! Chicken tikka masala - didn't come with very much chicken, but the flavor was good & a bit on the tangy side. Palak paneer (spinach + cheese cubes) - loved it! read more

Came here on a Sunday evening after a beautiful day in the city. With several older couples adorably sharing dinner, this is definitely a great date spot. Intimate and fancy (but not overbearing) decor. Probably ok to put on some nicer pants. We started with two mango lassi - how could you not? ($3 each) They were smooth and well-blended, without the plain-yogurt tart that tends to accompany those skimpy on the mango. We ordered Navratna Korma ($8) and and Dal Bhat Tarkari ($12 for a full dinner entree), along with, as always, extra naan ($1.25 for plain). Even with my naan-vacuum boyfriend, we were still able to take some home. Nothing was too spicy, and thank god, it was all thoroughly cooked. Prices were pretty standard for Berkeley (a little high for kids from Fremont), but considering the nice ambiance and excellent service it's a great deal. If we ever find ourselves again meandering Telegraph with a hankering for Nepali food, we know where we'll be. read more

Came in on a groupon deal: $15 for Two-Course Indian and Nepali Dinner for Two (Up to $33.97 Value).I already had an idea about the food since I had been here before. I got my usual dish which was a spicy chicken tikka masala with a tall Taj Mahal to wash it down. The servers are friendly and great with kids. My little one was walking around jumping on their couch. This restaurant is great to bring families. read more

My search for curry in my beloved Bay Area continues and I've always wanted to explore the East Bay beyond Vik's Chaat. After scrutinizing various options I finally turned over this evening's culinary experience to my fellow Yelpers and ventured in with both canine teeth set to Mount Everest Restaurant and I was well pleased. The vegetable samosa were lovely although a bit too oily for my taste but the potato, pea and spices filling made up much ground. And then on to aloo ghobi and a truly satisfying lamb vindaloo served with a side of pilau rice...mmmmm. Remember, even Santa needs a curry. read more

Flavorful, hot, fresh food. Very attentive, considerate, polite and helpful staff. Clean interior and eating area with good lighting. The lunch specials are filling. I ordered the chicken tikka masala at medium spicy and it was a little less spicy than I expected. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the naan had a delightfully light and chewy texture. read more

I used a $20 for $12 Groupon here with my friend, and it was so good! We got the samosas, which were very flavorful and crispy. I got the lunch special mixed vegetable, which also came with naan, rice, salad, and garbanzo beans curry/sauce. It was very filling, and I didn't have stomach space for the rice. The vegetable curry flavor was great! There were lots of vegetables, and it was sufficiently spicy. I ate the curry too fast though and didn't proportion it with the naan. Flavors are great! But somewhat on the expensive side if you don't have that Groupon. Service is pretty good too; the waitress kept coming to refill our water, and she was pretty friendly about our Groupon too. read more

The food was EXCELLENT! So why 3 stars? Maybe I'm trying to make sure the managers read this: it's so uncomfortable your cooks constantly watching us from the kitchen. Every time I looked up, I felt a heavy look and as I glanced up, a younger cook was staring at me and I thought it's just me, but other friends had the same feeling. I'm old, so it's not as if he was hitting on me. Lol! So please it's very uncomfortable being watched while eating/ stared at! read more

I like this place, but the wait is soooooo long. Atmosphere: It's nice for dinner. The lighting inside is super dim but there are a good number of tables. It use to be a place where you order up front but now it's a full-blown sit down restaurant. Food: I REALLY like their Palak Aloo (Potatoes and Spinach). It has a lot of flavor to it (I get mild). My friend got the Chicken Karma, which was also really good, but on the creamy side so it feels heavier the more you eat it. The naan isn't as good as other places I've had - it gets kind of tough. Prices aren't bad at all - about $6-8 a plate. Service: They're friendly, but they're REALLY SLOW. We came in at 8 and probably didn't get our food until about 8:50. Also, we had ordered 3 naans and only two came out, and then we had to wait almost another ten minutes for the other one. Overall: I'd suggest calling in and taking things to go. It works better that way. read more

It was petty good- the momos especially are great. Only problem was I asked for it medium spicy and it couldn't have been more mild. So my advice is that if you want it spicy ask for it spicy! read more

I've tasted better. It seems to me like every restaurant in berkeley have 4-5 star ratings. This place was alright. The food is good, but nothing that "wow'd" me. We went for fathers day and reserved a table for 5. Service was decent , we had a young lady seat us although we came in half hour early so that was nice. Throughout our dining our server did okay but she didnt realize that she forgot to put down our side order of rice, that was the only downside but no biggie. We ordered several dishes. if I could remember , we had the aloo tikki chaat, Samosa, chicken curry, chicken momo, garlic nan, channa sala, lamb curry, and choilla. the most I enjoyed out of all was the chicken curry and aloo tikki chaat served with cilantro sauce and a red sauce. Everything else was mediocre like the Momo, there was hardly any juice in the dumpling like in other places ive tried. Im not sure why everyone is raving about the garlic naan either, it hardly differs from the regular naan. I just wished they added more garlic to taste the difference. Overall i think maybe its because ive had better indian food , but i enjoyed the napalese side of this restaurant. its just nothing crazy would come back here for really. Note: I forbid anyone from ordering their coffee and chai tea. I had to add extra sugar in my chai just to taste anything and my boyfriend and his dad had to addextra coffee ground to even make it a coffee in the first place. read more
