    Chicken Momo
    Sam R.

    We dined at Mount Everest Restaurant for a late lunch, and it was a pleasant experience. While I've dined here before, it was my first time returning after a few years. Both my mom and I ordered lunch specials, and it seemed to be a good value. I especially enjoyed the naan and malai kofta and the salad was a nice side too. I was not a fan of the chana masala, as it seemed to lack flavor and the sauce was slightly watery. I opted for mild level of spice, since I was concerned the meal would be too spicy, but that was not the case. We also ordered some pappadum along with chicken momos to share, and it was an alright dish, although I did think the filling wasn't quite tasty. The sauce was a nice touch, and helped add a small burst of flavor and a mild kick. Customer service was great and attentive and the restaurant was nicely decorated with a cozy vibe. Overall, our meal was enjoyable and I am glad that there was an option to order lunch specials for weekend lunch. Although, I wished some items were more flavorful or spicy. I'd possibly return to try other items on the menu if I'm nearby or visiting campus. Seems like a pretty solid spot for Nepalese/Indian food!

    i tried this spot with some friends, and we decided to get some of the server's recommendations since we're not familiar with nepalese or indian food. the food was flavorful, and my favorite was the garlic naan that was so fresh. the samosas were a little lacking in flavor, but the sauces were so good and i liked how there was one a little more sour. i'd definitely recommend ordering a lot and doing family style! solid spot overall

    Mango lassi
    Rohit G.

    Walking around the Berkley campus and someone recommended we try Mount Everest. We were seated immediately for a 7pm weekday dinner. ATMOSPHERE: The place felt clean and was brightly lit. It was nearly empty when we went. There is a small (~5 spots) parking lot in the back, so plan ahead to figure out parking as that lot was full. FOOD: We got the chicken biryani and a mango lassi. The biryani rice was seasoned really well, but there were only a few pieces of chicken included, and they tasted under seasoned. Nonetheless I still enjoyed the dish. The Mango lassi was creamy and sweet, just as it should be. Definitely recommend getting one of these! SERVICE: It took a few min for a server to say hello to us despite the place being completely empty. Our order was taken, and it took about 20 min for the food to come out. We also weren't checked up on after this. The restaurant also overcharged us (double) for an appetizer someone in our party got and luckily one of us noticed. PRICE/VALUE: The biryani was $16, which is on the pricier side especially for being around a college, but the portions were large. Overall, I liked the biryani rice and mango lassi, but the service and the low amount of chicken that was underseasoned were areas of improvement.

    Here is the paneer tikamasala with white rice and Nan. Yum

    Arvin and Puja prepare authentic Nepalese Food that is delicious. My favorites are the Palak Panner, Mixed Vegetable, and Paneer Tikamasala as I am vegetarian. The Nan and Roti are to die for. I love the down to earth homie atmosphere and friendly service. It you want good quality wholesome food in a relaxed and friendly setting, this is your place. I highly recommend Mount Everest to anyone.

    chicken tikka masala, garlic naan
    Acira M.

    Chicken tikka masala is good as always, never disappoints. Naan was sooo good, super soft and buttery (comes w four pieces). We also got the saag paneer and navratna korma, both were super flavorful. Portions were pretty big and comes out fast, so definitely worth it. Great choice for Berkeley!

    Lunch special

    Used to live near this restaurant and would pass it on my way home everyday. Finally got to try it for lunch one day and my expectations were met. The restaurant is super cute, the decorations make it feel very cozy. The waitress that helped us was also friendly! I got one of the lunch specials and the serving size was definitely worth it. Honestly the most memorable thing was the side salad -- that doesn't mean the other parts of the dish weren't good, but I was most surprised by how good the salad was. Naan was nice and warm, and a good amount of crispy. With that said, I don't think anything was that notable, so I would come here if nearby, but wouldn't go out of my way.

    Samosa

    The food was amazing! The samosas came with two sauces one green savory one and a red slightly sweeter one. The nanan was crispy and had a high level of cheese and garlic. The atmosphere was calming with beautiful photos, and the service was quick and friendly.

    Eggplant
    Selena L.

    Never tried this place before so decided to swing by with a friend, but we both felt that it was underwhelming. First of all, none of the dishes come with rice, even though everything is $15+. I tried the eggplant, and felt that the portion was relatively small for the price. The flavor was just okay, it felt like there were a lot of spices in the dish, but it tasted confusing and like there was a lot going on but no distinct flavors.

    Butter chicken

    So basically I only got four pieces of chicken so four stars. Food was good but I was still really hungry after. I was happily frolicking downstairs to get more and they were already cleaning up.

    Aloo Gobi Channa Masala Basmati Rice Papadum

    The decorations were beautiful and definitely added to the vibe of the restaurant, the service was fast, and the food came out piping hot.

    Decided to eat in Berkeley before going to the cal versus Nevada game. The menu looked good so we decided to try it. When we entered we were the first diners for the evening. You can scan the menu or they will give you a hard menu. We settled on garlic naan, chicken chhoilla, and mather paneer. All were very tasty. The chicken chhoillahad lots of tender chicken and onions. The fennel seed added a nice crunch. There was enough for 4 people. The paneer was also very tasty. We were surprised there were only 4 pieces of paneer. The garlic naan was chewy. Service was unremarkable. We had to waive to get refills of water. If you are looking for Indian/Himalayan food this is a good place.

    I wanted to know if this restaurant serves organic meat as well as vegetables and what kind of oil's they use?

    I don't know the answer for sure, but most restaurants are going to use cheap inflammatory oils like cottonseed or canola oil.

    You guys deliver?

    I was there yesterday and a delivery service (Doordash?) came in and picked up an order. That may be your answer.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when restaurants reduce the guality or quantity of their meal to cut costs while charging premium prices. I will say I didn't mind paying a few dollars more for their subs in the past. I went there today for the first time in a couple of years, ordered a regular size basic ruben sandwich (no add-ons) and was ok paying nearly $18 dollars for just the sandwich until they handed it to me. what I got was a small 6" sub. When did their subs shrink?? in this economy we are all struggling. I get it, things cost more but Craves' owner is not doing his patrons a service by charging them premiums while cutting back on the meals.

I prefer peanut butter and jam instead of meat and jam. Only veggie was chopped lettuce and barely saw anything else. Overwhelming flavor was the jam which was squeezing out of the sandwich. Disappointed- was hoping for an impressive sandwich at this price point.

The guy behind the counter was super friendly and offered us a sample of one of the flavors to try which I thought was a nice gesture. Everything looked so good, so we picked a couple different pieces of Turkish delight to try. To my surprise, my favorite ended up being the saffron, though rose petal with pomegranate and sour cherry with pastachio were close seconds. I didn't like the coconut or the chocolate one that much, so reminder to myself to skip those next time. After picking up the dessert, I did a quick circle around the store to see what they had. It's not a big store but they manage to cram a lot of stuff into the limited space!
