stopped by recently and had an amazing experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming, ensuring the service was fast and friendly from the moment we sat down. We ordered the Veg Chowmein, Manchurian, and the Chilli Momo, and everything was absolutely bursting with flavor. The chilli momos especially have the perfect kick to them!The best part? The food is really affordable without compromising on taste or portion sizes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a satisfying, budget-friendly meal. I'll definitely be coming back! ambiance is good too.. close to skytrain station (wouldn't recommend driving as downtown streets aren't that accommodating but if u are driving plenty of paid parking near by)
We walked in at about 1:30 PM on a weekday. It was pleasantly not very busy at all, despite it being very downtown. It's one of those restaurants that you think is super fancy and unaffordable, but it's actually more like $15-20 a person. The place is also pretty quiet- there are TVs with sports playing, but the volume is turned way down. We had water waiting on the table and were given small bowls of some kinda soup- it appeared to be dairy so I didn't have any but my tablemate liked it. Me and my tablemate got the steamed chicken momo, beef naan, and the hamri man ko wa. The beef naan is fantastic- $5.50 for 4 big pieces. It's actually beef curry, which is even better. It doesn't fall out of the naan or anything. The steamed chicken momo was fantastic- the vegetables weren't weirdly crispy like in a lot of dumplings, and everything was cohesive. It comes with an orange sauce and a red (chilli, slightly spicy) sauce. I appreciated that they came on the side so I could customize the amount of each one on each momo. My tablemate liked the hamri man ko wa well enough. There are so many things on the menu that are dairy free! I was very pleasantly surprised by that. They also seem to have quite the wine list. It's a large, but not way too large, quantity of food for a pretty good price. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cool Indian lunch or dinner.
Nepalese place near the middle of downtown. Had to make a special trip out. As of the time of writing, I am only aware of a total of 5 Nepalese places in the entire metropolitan area. Parking here sucks unfortunately. All metered spots. This place was packed. There was a 30 minute wait, and there was a steady lineup the entire time I was eating here. The place has that hostel feel, which is probably in line with the travelling lifestyle. Neat murals of Kathmandu landmarks (Boudha Stupa) and of course the Himalayas and Mount Everest. Broccoli soup - nice and creamy. Butter chicken - good flavour. Comes with rice. Chitwan ko Taas - chunks of goat (lots of bones) covered in spices (cumin?) and served with puff rice (think Rice Krispies) and mixed pickles (really strong tangy lime flavour), and some sliced cucumber, tomato, and carrot. Delicious, though my friend didn't like the mixed pickles. Steamed momos - these ones are crescent shaped, and similar to Chinese style dumplings. Served with some kind of yellow sauce. Tasty. Naan - tried both the garlic and onion varieties. Buddy liked garlic more while I liked the onion one more. Might as well try both. Food was seriously delicious. I can see why the place is so popular. Would gladly come back, though next time I'd be making a reservation. Recommended.
Good joint for spicy Nepal food, ambiance is ok, great service. We orderd kathmandu chapate , veg ccg chowmein and chili veg momo. Good tasting and spicy. Be careful with spice levels when ordering. Also great portion sizes.
Great place to eat some Himalayan food! The service was fast and they serve u a carrot soup in the beginning. The ambiance was nice and there is a parking garage right in front of the restaurant The chili momos were really good and the sauce that came with it was flavorful. The lunch special with goat curry and tandoori chicken was really good! It definitely is for 2 people and both the meat were tender.
Restaurant is a pretty large size but the location is a bit sketchy. The service as ok and food was good. We were given a complimentary green soup; we thought it was split pea but one server told us it was broccoli soup and another said it was spinach soup. I was confused. The lunch platter was enough for 2 people but we also got the steamed momos cuz I haven't tried mutton momos before. Everything was tasty and although we asked for mild spicy, the food tasted like medium spicy. Two restrooms towards the back were so-so.
Indian/Nepali food in Vancouver downtown is generally good but this place would be in top 20 percentile in our opinion. After having walked more than 15K steps, one can splurge on dinner. We got the draft beers, the mutton kebabs and the samosa chat to start with. Then we got the chowmein and naan and a curry to finish it off. The samosa chat was a little sour (if we nitpick) but everything else was delicious. The noodles were especially good and we would highly recommend trying them. The service was excellent and while this is a small place, the ambience was decent.
One of my coworkers and my go to lunch spot! They have an fabulous variety of Napalese, Indo-chinese, and East Indian dishes. In my visits I usually get the lunch specials which includes options from vegetable/chicken/lamb curry and tandoori chicken. The specials come in a metal tray that includes rice, lentil curry, pakora, rice, Naan, and a dessert. It's a great option if you like variety. But if you like a larger portion for main dish I would recommend ordering the individual dishes instead. Service is attentative and even with a group of 8 they were quick to take our order and get our lunches out quickly. They are very flexible with our orders as well as I asked if I can have the butter chicken to replace the curry for the lunch special and they gladly helped me replace that. Would definitely come here again to try out more dishes.
Finally my search for finding a decent Thupka place in North America came to a halt. I definitely have had better Thupka in India but I will accept Everest Kitchen's Thupka however it is - it is still better than all other Thupkas I have tried. However what was even more delicious was the Johl Momo - so so flavourful and tasty - lovely amazing stuff. The ambience is decent and the service is very nice. We loved our experience. We were even served with Nepalese style Daal (lentil soul).
Food - 5 Service - 4.5 Ambiance - 3 Yelp comes through again. We were looking for a place for dinner within walking distance of our hotel and saw this place had good reviews. We were not disappointed. We enjoy Indian cuisine and this is similar but also has some unique flavors that set it apart. The portion sizes were pretty generous including the appetizers. We got the mixed vegetables pakoras and nearly filled up on that alone. Our entrees came out a little too soon after the appetizer but otherwise the service was great. I got the chicken sekuwa and my wife got the chicken tikka masala. We also got an order of garlic naan. We ordered medium spicy on both dishes and they were both robust in terms of the spiciness but not too spicy. The flavors of the food shone through but if you do not like spicy food then stick with mild. I like spicy food but medium was plenty spicy. We're only here for a couple days but we absolutely would love to return.
Very flavorful! Everything we tried and shared at our table was lovely - the butter chicken and naan were perfect.
Best Indian food restaurant I have been to. Service was fast friendly and helpful. Restaurant is open, bright and plenty of seating. I didn't get a picture of the soup they greet you with after ordering, but it was SO good. It really let you know that you were about to get some good food to follow, and that's exactly what happened. The naan was perfection. Fluffy pillowy garlicky deliciousness. The butter chicken was so flavorful. Samosas had the best aroma and the flaky crust was divine. Will definitely come again when in Vancouver.
Wonderful food and terrific service. Can you ask for more? This place is a gem one of the absolute best Indian food places we've ever been to. I know they serve more than Indian food, but the cuisine from that area was just tremendous here. The tandoori, which is highly recommended by everyone else on yelp is also highly recommended by us. I've never had tandoori that wasn't dry, but this place beat all expectations. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and still with a distinct tandoori flavor. and that's just one item on the menu! FOOD: again, what can I say! Amazing! We had a combination of chicken, tikka masala, vegetable, Pecora, and chicken, tandoori, and all of it was amazing! Seriously, seriously good! It was all cooked, perfectly moist where it was supposed to be moist, crunchy, where it was supposed to be crunchy, and flavorful all around. SERVICE: quick service with a friendly attitude, and everything plated very nicely. The portion sizes were great, and the food again was delicious! COST: very reasonable for what you get. I was completely stuffed by the time we left! Would definitely come here again if we are ever in Vancouver. Very close to the port so if you are coming for a cruise at a Vancouver, be sure to look this place up. Within walking distance!

First there is no mistaking this for a high end restaurant as another review recorded. This is a solid Nepalese joint. However it is not focused and instead provides a little bit of the region for everyone (Nepal, China, India, Pakistani influences). Came in for lunch on a weekday. Quickly seated and tended to by the staff. Interior is more of a diner scene than nice cafe. Bathrooms are gender neutral and clean but not nice. Here's my three things: 1) I got a lunch special featuring fish peckora, and tandoor chicken. Good flavor but missed on the real spice flavors. Veg salad was sour and worked with the rest of the plate. 2) These folks can make some NAAN! The Naan stole the show. Sweet, salty and crisp. 3) Price wise you can fill up and have a drink for $25-30CAN. read more
Improved the menu with photos, these chicken momos are legit! O-M-G! Go somewhere else with your favorite person and get momos, then come here--you will never get momos anywhere else again! We have a neighbor couple from Nepal who made these from scratch for us, and these taste just like theirs! The sauce for the steamed momos and Jhol is the same but chilled High-heat chicken fried rice, so good! Garlic naan dipped in the leftover sauce makes your eyes roll back in your head! Our server didn't mind chatting with us about the difference between the U.S. and Canada migrant integration which we found interesting but not surprising. It was pretty clean, but the decor was a little out of date. The food was supremo. We'll be back! read more

If you like East Asian food. If you like spices. If you like variety on a menu....you'll most likely....enjoy this place. The only item I'd stay away from would be the Lamb Curry. The consistency of the curry was off, and not only was the lamb really tough it was quite scarce in the dish.....not worth the $17. The Chicken Tandoori was nice. Great spices and nicely cooked. I liked the Papadam....but Wow! $2.50 for two pieces?! That's overpriced considering you can buy a pack of 10 for less than 5 bucks. The Butter Naan. What could be bad about oven baked fresh naan smothered in butter? Nothing. What could've made it better? An extra round in the oven. Why? Because then you would've had the outside crust smokey crisp contrasting with the buttery centre....yeah...you know what I mean. The staff were friendly. Just a little note.....if someone asks for pop...bring them a glass and a straw and if you really wanna impress....ask them if they want ice..... You'll get the extra tip. Trust me. ;) read more
Vancouver BC. What a joy to eat here. If you want authentic Nepali flavors, eat here. A local favorite as I saw many local residents and door dash orders. The food was amazing. M said the Palak was to die for. The butter chicken was so flavorful and the chicken so tender. Veggie Samosas were great and the sauce that came with it cut the heat a little and was a great addition. Thanks fellow yelpers for helping me find amazing food while on holiday. read more

Ok. I love love love the food in this place. I have not had indo chinese food for the longest time and this was worth it. I loved the noodles and chilli momos especially. All flavors have been rightly done. Ambiance and seating is good too. Its kind if street styled but very clean. Service was quick and fast. Everyone was super friendly. There was no waiting. read more

Terrific Nepalese place where you can really dial-in your meal with the flavors you prefer from the cultures surrounding the mountain. We considered going back for a a second meal -- the food was unlike that which we have tried before and the service was solid. We got chicken momo which was a great starter for the four of us, and choosing fried was probably the way to go. The Fish Chilli had some spice to it and was delicious and crispy, with perhaps a bit of sweet and sour sauce going on. The thukpa was super interesting with delicious broth. Beef was better than the chicken but getting two of these to try wasn't needed. We should have picked one. The noodles were not the star of the show in this delicious soup -- they seemed like pasta noodles. read more
Wanted to check out Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill for their Nepalese and Indian offerings. It's a few doors down from Baghdad Cafe. We dropped in on an unexpectedly busy Tuesday evening (8:00pm). Service was friendly but on the slow side. Didn't expect the inside to be so huge. The menu is large; salad, appetizers, tandoori, lunch specials, manchurian, noodles, momos, curries, biryani and desserts. There's also a small happy hour (4:00pm to 6:00pm). - Spinach soup - complimentary soup of the day. Delicious and homey. - Garlic naan ($3.00) - decent but couple parts of the naan were too soft. - Mix vegetable pakora ($7.99) - good batter, slight blimp of heat. - Steamed momo ($13.99 for 10) - dumpling skin had a nice bite. We were given two sauces; one mild, the other surprisingly similar to a hot sauce. - Palak paneer ($16.99) - spinach purée was bland, the palak similar. Disappointing. - Khasi ko masu ($17.99) - best of the three curries. The bone-in goat pieces were good, other pieces were a touch dry. - Fish curry ($16.99) - basa fish was plentiful, but not much going on flavour wise. Muted flavours in the curries. Stick with the momos. read more

The chicken chow-mein was a disappointment. The chow-mein didn't have veggies, it was just noodles with dried up black chicken and not tasty. I have had better chow-mein back in Bay Area and also in Vancouver. Never going to order chow-mein again. The tandoori chicken and chicken biryani were good. These were money's worth, not the chow-mein read more

I wanted to like this. I enjoy Indian food, and have really enjoyed Himalayan food when I've tried it. It was packed with people who probably know more about that food than me, so I had a good impression, but just didn't enjoy it. Thinking I must have just ordered the wrong thing, I tried a more common option that I can compare to several of the Indian places I enjoy, and it didn't really come close. I would be willing to try again maybe if I were in the area. read more

I must have walked past this spot at least fifty times, but I never gave it a second glance. Very unassuming storefront in an unassuming block downtown, but as they say, never judge a book by its cover! I had a little solo weekday lunch here, and I was surprised to see most of the tables were empty when I walked in shortly after noon. More tables had filled up by the time I left around 1:15 though. The restaurant seemed a little short-staffed, but whenever the staff did come by, they were so warm, friendly, and apologetic. All of them seemed to care about my experience dining there. I got the samosa chaat and steamed mutton momos. The chaat had a perfect level of spice for me when I requested medium, and it was tangy, savory, and contrasting in textures and flavors in all the right ways. The steamed mutton momos were also pretty good, though the skin was broken in several spots. The sauces were not bad either. I ate my fill and still had half of each dish left over, so I took some home for dinner. The total came out to ~$25, which is decent for what ended up being two meals for me! I will be back to try their curries and biryanis next time! read more

Tl;dr some of the best Indian food Came here for dinner with some friends and was blown away by the amazing food. It was our first time trying momos (fried dumplings) and they were amazing. They reminded me a lot of gyoza but with more spices. For mains we ordered the lamb saag, butter chicken, garlic naan, and potato and onion naan. Everything was amazing and my only regret was not ordering more rice to start with. The lamb saag was my favorite with tender meat and a nice flavorful but not overly spice filled curry. The butter chicken was also very good but it's a more familiar flavor to me. The naan was also amazing and really helped us clean up all the curry. read more
Many years ago when I ascended Mount Everest in the Himalayas from base camp - I thought I was going to die! The air was so thin I passed out a few times! Ahhh hells naw Yelpies! You think I'm nuts!?? I'll leave that to the Bruce Willis die hard types! Besides isn't it like a $100K to climb!?! Me pay to climb a mountain - nope that's an easy hard pass for me! Bye! The only ascending & descending I subscribe to is the lowering & raising of my mouth towards my plate! What you think I'm a fool? No crazy mountain climbing for me & absolutely no jumping out of planes - no way Jose! Gosh I wasn't expecting all this flavourful food I devoured here at the Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill! As the saying goes - 'never judge a book by its cover!' I had noticed this restaurant after eating across the street at Kokoro Tokyo Mazesoba. It got my curiosity going but I was hesitant until last night. The manager was very friendly & helpful in explaining the selection available. The waitress was also very courteous. This made picking out dinner easier than I thought it would be. After all how many times does one travel to the Himalayas to eat!? Marinated for several hours the Tandoori Chicken tasted sooooooooooo yummy & most of all it wasn't salty as heck like some places! The Onion & Potato Nan - whoa absolutely delicious! A must try is the Momo (Nepali dumpling) - very delicious dumpling I do say! The flavours are Indian & Nepal inspired = seasoned & spicy. Pick your level of heat but probably stick with medium & get hot sauce on the side in order to prevent a fire in your mouth! Yelpies this is a hidden gem & the price is definitely right! So waste absolutely no time in getting here yesterday! Don't worry - you won't have to climb up a mountain to get here! read more
