    Chili Chicken Basmati rice  Samosas  Garlic Naan
    Samurai J.

    Came in hoping for a quick takeout and didn't want the usual chain junk food. Walked in with no real knowledge or experience with this type of food. I believe the owner was there and he was very kind and helpful, he told me what was popular because I had never been in. I decided on the Chili Chicken Curry with Samosas on the side. Everything is cooked to order but my food came out quick! It was perfectly seasoned and spicy (as per the owners recommended spice level), and the samosas were super tasty and crisp on the outside. My curry came with a couple cups of rice, and the fresh garlic flatbreads that came with my order were warm and delicious. 10/10 Thank you to the wonderful people working there, I'll definitely be back

    Lamb Korma, Naan
    Ivy N.

    I had the Lamb Korma and Naan. The lamb was tender, and the creamy sauce was very sweet and savory with a kick of heat. I enjoyed it very much, and the naan was very soft. Overall the service was great. I would definitely come again.

    Steamed dumplings and samosas.

    This cafe has better fare than the average Indian food place. The samosas and dumplings are homemade and it shows. The offerings have a Tibetan flair, yak meat! The owner gives you individual attention and suggestions. Ambiance is shabby but who cares when the food is great! They do lots of takeout.

    Yet again, I drive by this place often and in the past 6 months I made myself go. While my decision to drive by for 5 years without stopping was a bad one, the decision to stop here (finally) was a really, really good one! Like clock work, right when we walk in we are always greeted by a gentleman (maybe the owner, he is there every time we visit). He is always excited to see us and is prompt with menus, drinks, and to take our order. The thing I really appreciate is his suggestions. He has never been wrong. I also love their combos because you get to try a lot of different things in one meal. I highly suggest doing a combo until you find your favorite and then when you find your favorite, order always! That is my rule-of-thumb. I can tell you everything that I have eaten but you can't really go wrong. I haven't found one thing I did not like. I think it just depends on what you are feeling. Noodles, curry, spicy, savory, sweet, filling, unique. Yes, get it all. I have never been here for dinner. My experiences have always been during lunch. The portions are just right and I often still have food to take home for dinner. Cozy space with pictures of Mount Everest and surrounding areas on the walls. Stop driving by and just go! You can thank me that I just found you your new favorite eatery. See you there!

    Yak Momo
    Amanda S.

    Boise is blessed ten times over to have this absolute gem. Mount Everest Momo Cafe is the one of the only places is the city you can eat Nepalese/Himalayan food. The food is authentic, the service is outstanding and honestly, the interior is a little small and dark, but I love it. It mirrors how restaurants in Nepal typically look like. I went to Nepal as a student in college and grew to love their cuisine. I had major withdrawals when returning to Boise. My boyfriend-now-husby located Mount Everest for me and I had low expectations. I thought, "Authentic Nepalese, in Boise?! No freaking way." More like, holy cow I was blown away after eating. Now, I probably order take out 6-7 times a year. On a recent visit, I began my meal with Yak Momo (steamed dumplings filled with ground yak, served with mild or spicy tomato sauce, $11.99). For those who've never tried yak, I recommend it! If even to just say you've tried it. It's much leaner than regular beef, and IMO, is more moist, sweet and tender. The Momo was steamed perfectly, I swear the entire thing nearly melted in my mouth. They were so juicy and delectable. This is a must order, for sure! For my main course I ordered Lamb Masala (marinated lamb roasted in their special clay oven and cooked in curry sauce, $17.95). Do not let the price deter you. The owners use fresh lamb meat, and lamb tends to me a little more expensive. Also, it takes a little longer to cook so to be prepared to wait the extra 10 or so minutes it takes for the dish to be done. But I kid you not, it is absolutely 100% worth the wait. The lamb falls apart in your mouth with each bite and mixes in with the masala , bursting with flavor of the spices of the Himalayan cuisine. You want to eat this dish when it's fresh though because the lamb toughens up quick if you reheat it in the microwave (I learned the hard, sad way.). Also, you gotta get few pieces of Naan (tandoori baked soft and puffy bread, $3.00/piece). It's amazing either plain or dipped in masala/curry/vindaloo. Other highlights include fantastic service. On one visit we got the cutest little waitress who was super informative and attentive. The owner of the restaurant even came out to introduce himself and apologize for the long wait time. Above and beyond outstanding customer care. Mount Everest Momo Cafe is no doubt one of my top 10 eateries in the Treasure Valley. I look forward to many more visits and take out orders in the coming years.

    Chicken Momo (8pcs) with mild and spicy tomato dipping sauce - outstanding!!
    Sarretta M.

    I saw the excellent ratings for this small café, and couldn't wait to try their Momo's. I was the only one there when I entered, was greeted and seated immediately by the smiling and friendly host. The menu was extremely informative, with pictures and suggestions for the first time Himalayan food taster. I decided to try the chicken Momos, the onion kulcha, and the vegetable chau chau. The kind server/host/gentleman (owner?) suggested I try the chicken chau chau instead because it contained the same vegetables plus chicken. The chicken Momos came out very quickly with a side of sauce (which was tomato-based and had the milder sauce poured and with the hotter sauce in its center). The Momos are very much like Chinese dumplings or potstickers and I am used to a different kind of dipping sauce, but the tomato-based spicy sauce was wonderful with these delicious dumplings. The Onion Kulcha (which is naan bread cooked with onion and cilantro in it) was wonderful! And the Chau Chau, soft fried noodles with veggies and meat, were delicious and very filling. The service was fast and friendly and the food was wonderful! I left sated and happy.

    We were traveling through Boise, spending the night and decided to have some ethnic food. A Yelp…read moresearch showed Kabob House to have great ratings, so we decided to stop by. There is plenty of parking space in front and we were able to find several items from their extensive menu of Afghan and Persian food and ordered a few for us. All of the appetizers and entrees we ordered were delicious. The desserts were oh so sweet and tasted great with the tea they served. The good atmosphere, great food and fantastic customer service make this a place I would want to go back to again. Very highly recommended!

    Went here last night with a friend and honestly? One of those nights that reminds you why going out…read moreto eat is supposed to be fun. We were greeted immediately by the owner, who shook our hands, introduced himself, and instantly made us feel welcome. Like... genuinely welcome, not "hi table for two" welcome. When we were shown to our table, I noticed the raised platform where you can sit on the floor and was like, oh absolutely yes. We asked if we could sit there and suddenly we had this whole cozy room to ourselves. He even drew the curtain so it felt private and special -- chef's kiss. The food was incredible. The chicken marsala was out-of-this-world good, the naan was warm and delicious, and the kebabs were fresh with perfectly seasoned, tender meat. Everything tasted thoughtful and made with care. But the real standout? The service. Hands down. The owner kept checking in on us, making sure we were good, asking if we needed anything, joking with us -- just the right balance of attentive and chill. By the end of the night, he even shared a bit of his story and talked about where he lived in Afghanistan, which made the whole experience feel even more meaningful. We laughed, we lingered, we had the best time. If you're looking for something a little different, a little special, with incredible food and even better hospitality -- this is it. Go hungry, go curious, and don't skip the floor seating if you get the chance.
