    Chicken biryani

    We before a show in evanston. Place could use an interior update. Went 6p had to wait just a little got filled up shortly after. Staff was friendly, a bit understaffed. Food was very good we had the samosa, chicken biryanii, the lamb vindaloo and the garlic naan. They were all delicious. The biryani was the best of the group, well spiced and almost floral, will be remembered. They did not serve alcohol even though it was on the menu. You can can byob. Overall, a solid place you can count on for good Indian food

    The buffet is finally back. And it is delicious. Note that it's only available on weekends, Friday through Sunday.

    ~Monica's T.A.S.T.E. Test~ Taste: I had the vegetarian sampler which came with tastes of 4 main dishes, naan, a milky desert, rice, and fried dessert balls. I loved the 4 mains (which consisted of 1 pea, 1 cauliflower, 1 beans/lentils, and 1 spinach/paneer dish) and naan. All had excellent depth and paired well together. The desserts I didn't love but that was more personal preference as they were cooked well. Atmosphere: The inside of the restaurant is very welcoming. I liked how the dishes were served to your table right before the food warm, as most dishes are served family style so there was no change in temperature when transferring food to your plate. Service: Our wait staff was very attentive and friendly, and explained the menu well. Tab: For 2 of us after tip it came out to $46, with a Northwestern student discount. I think they have a lunch buffet that is cheaper and you can try all the food, so that may be a more effective use of dollars. Extra wow factor: I liked how each dish had a distinct flavor, which has not been the case in my past experience with Indian food. Great job! Does it pass the T.A.S.T.E test? We will definitely be back when we are craving the flavors of Mt Everest!

    Dinner with Monica!

    Warm Plates | Diversity | Naan Warm Plates: For the first time in a long time a restaurant did something that I've never seen before in a positive direction ... For the first time in my life, I received a warm plate 2 minutes before my main dish came out. While on the surface this seems small, it was kinda big! It definitely kept the dish warmer and gave the meal (especially the rice) more flavor. Diversity: The menu has a lot of options. I had the curry chicken with rice which was delicious. The flavor of the curry was thick but extremely savory and went REALLY well with the rice. Looking around the restaurant, I did not see any dish repeat, so it appears everything they have is good. Naan: One of the other highlights was the Naan. It had a sweeter dough than normal that had a bit of pepper flavoring. It was delicious and came out as an appetizer for us. Pro Tip: 10% Northwestern Discount

    I've always been a fan of exceptional Indian food, so I was delighted to discover Mt. Everest Restaurant! The venue is fairly basic, with the focus more on the food than the ambiance - that suits me just fine :-) Service is fast, friendly, and efficient - what they do best here is the cuisine! All the breads, curries, and Tandoori I've tried to date have been excellent. They've got a nice (though not unusual) selection of traditional dishes, with some Nepali dishes as well for people who are willing to take a walk on the culinary wild side ;-) We've visited here several times and haven't found anything yet that isn't delicious! Some of our go to favorites are the Tandoori chicken (which is wonderfully succulent) and their amazing Chicken Jalfrezi. The prices here aren't low, but they're spot-on given the exceptional quality of the food served. Highly recommended!!

    Chicken momo's
    Andrea M.

    I enjoyed everything that we ordered - chicken momo, samosas, aloo gobi, baigan bartha (eggplant , a favorite dish of mine in general), chicken tikka masala, and lamb curry. The dishes were all mild, which is perfect for me, but many Indian food enthusiasts would probably find it to be not spicy enough - there are spicier dishes on the menu though. The breads were delicious, and I absolutely loved the piyazi kulcha (bread filled with onions). Sometimes I make my own curry, and I'd definitely want to swing by Mt Everest to pick up some naan or other breads. The price point is typical for Evanston. My one gripe is that the online ordering system automatically added an extra dollar to my tip when I pressed the "submit" button. It was just a dollar, but I didn't like the way it was randomly added. I dunno if this is supposed to be part of an online ordering fee or something.

    This has always been one of my favorite restaurants for Indian food, and I've told so many people…read moreabout it. I went back today and was honestly so upset because my go-to dish, the paneer makhini, was nothing like it used to be. It literally just tasted like straight cream. I even asked them to remake it because I thought something was wrong, but it came out the same way. I ended up just eating the other food we ordered, but it was such a disappointment because this has always been the dish I look forward to. I even showed them old photos from past visits compared to today and it was clearly different. The chef tried it and said it was the same, which shocked me because it really wasn't. I get that places can have off days, but this was really discouraging. As much as I've loved this restaurant, I don't know if I'll be back if the quality has dropped this much.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our pickup order from Himalayan Restaurant for dinner recently. We did a…read morefamily meal combo to sample something of everything. Our order included: cocktail samosas, palak paneer, baigan bharta, and the chicken tikka masala. The meal comes with three naan and rice on the side, as well as a dessert. We went with the gulab jamun. I also wanted an order of soup momos, so we added that onto our already robust order as well. (They didn't disappoint, so delicious.) Everything was well-balanced and spiced. I especially love that we were able to split the portions across multiple meals given how generous the naan was. The most beloved item was definitely the momos in the spicy/sour soup, followed by the buttery naan dipped in chicken tikka masala. I also really enjoyed the baigan bharta. So very enjoyed this meal, and I can't wait to try some of the other menu items that other diners have recommended.
