Taste From Everest - Jhingey KO Tarkari lamb fried momo - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - New York, New York

I stopped here for dinner after a show at the Repertorio Español. I started with the vegetable momo, which was tasty, especially with the orange sauce. I was in the mood for a chicken dish, the waiter recommended the curry chicken. It was so flavorful, I had with the warm naan. I ordered a mango mint mocktail which was delicious. I was too stuffed m for dessert, I'll definitely be back. Low key place with a lovely staff. read more

With the number of Indian restaurants on Lexington around 27th Street, it's not likely we'll return to "Taste From Everest." Our server was so pleasant and efficient -- he appeared to be the only person working the dining room -- I hate to write anything less than positive. But I really didn't enjoy my meal. My daughter, who's eaten at various restaurants on the strip, was also underwhelmed. We started off with steamed chicken momo (dumplings.) Served with two spicy dipping sauces, we were off to a good start. But then ... -- Chicken tikka, my frequent choice, was over-cooked, under-spiced and dry. When prepared properly the chicken is succulent and flavorful. I appreciated the vegetables from my platter which I mixed with rice, but other than that, a big NO. -- S ordered chicken thali: lentils, rice, mustard spinach, potatoes, salad, achar (a condiment of fermented fruits and vegetables), papadum and kheer (rice pudding.) We both have had better. Unlike family-run Indian restaurants I frequented on E. 6th Street -- none of which remain -- midtown restaurants are a bit more formal often requiring reservations. With no availability at a neighboring restaurant, Taste from Everest could accommodate us when we popped in. By the time we left, every table was occupied with people whose opinions, based on Yelp reviews, likely differ from mine. read more

Tasty food, good spice levels, and a simple, no-frills setup with basic but clean ambience. Service was quick and came with a smile, which always makes a difference. The food was fresh, well-spiced, and served piping hot. We ordered all vegetarian--chilli momos, potato with black-eyed peas, bamboo shoot curry, and dal with garlic naan and rice. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. For a bit of nostalgia, we ordered Kingfisher beer, but realized the version here in the U.S. tastes quite different from what you get in India--not quite the same experience. Overall, a solid weekday dinner. Word of caution--if you ask for extra spicy (like I did), they actually deliver on it, so choose wisely! If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try--especially for the food. read more

Taste from Everest serves authentic Nepali cuisine. I was able to get Wai Wai Bhel here. We ordered Mutton Thali for main course and everything was delicious on the thali. The spice level was mild and perfect. We also tried spicy vegetable jhol momo and it didn't disappoint. The staff is friendly too. Will definitely visit again. read more

Being a foodie, I like tasting different cuisines.. if your office is next to Lexington Avenue I'm sure you will have a lot of options to taste.. of course I've tried many indo-Pakistani Bangladeshi restaurants here, but never tasted Nepalese food .. I was walking by and saw taste from Everest restaurant and wanted to give it a shot... nice location right in the heart of Lexington Avenue.. interior was good lots of tables to sit and eat.. Not much of crowd when I went on a weekday . Service was quick. They had a lot of options, but I chose vegetarian thali. It was about 20$ with tax . It was surely a different cuisine, but to be frank it was too bland and not my style... Italian also does not have a Puri or chapati ... they did give a bowl of rice, Dhaal, potato subzi , pappas and sweet . I don't like wasting food and almost completed the whole thali. All all the food had less salt and less flavor... I don't know maybe that's the authentic Nepali style. overall a decent experience... wanted to give three stars, but gave it a 4 star . read more

I'd been wanting to check out more spots in "curry hill" so I stopped by taste from everest which was such a hidden gem. The flavors in everything were spectacular and service was great. My only complaint is that our table was quite close to the door so we had a cold breeze blowing in every once in a while. Otherwise, would definitely come back for more of the menu. read more

Ordered DoorDash from here and loved it. Butter chicken, garlic naan, and chicken biryani were all amazing. Will definitely be back.

Food had very unique flavors, and textures. So many good dishes. Neighborhood standout. I highly recommend.

You guys, this is one of the greatest meals of my life, no joke. Went here in person the other day after ordering delivery a couple years ago and was completely floored. Their Chicken Jhol Momo is a top 5 dish of my life! The warm and comforting broth, slight kick, the sweetness... I cannot stop thinking about it. My friend with me ordered it again the next day. Their Butter Chicken is also the best I've had, so creamy and flavorful. Loved their Aloo Gobi and Garlic Naan. I cannot wait to come back and get their Samosa Chaat again and desserts. I'm never in this area but hey, now I'm coming monthly. 5 stars!!! read more

Cute little spot on Lexington Avenue! We were craving samosas and ordered them here. They have a good Nepalese menu with momo and other Nepali flavors. The staff was very courteous and the seating was adequate. Pricing was very reasonable too! read more

The veggie steamed Momo's were good, and the chutneys that accompanied it were flavorful. I also got the veggie thali and the Alu Bodi Tama. The thali was good, naan was light and crispy. The Alu Bodi was a little tangy for my taste. The interiors are well decorated, and even though it got busy after I entered, the service was still good. read more

Despite spending much of my time in this area, I often overlook a lot of the culinary gems along Lexington Ave. A little winter cold prompted me to seek out some chicken soup, and Taste of Everest's Nepalese version did just the trick. I was instinctively drawn to their menu of spicy soups and momos, which I knew would soothe me back to health. The thukpa's spice and ginger tinged broth, vegetables, chicken, and noodles proved to be the antidote I needed. Himalayan food is generally less salty and milder than I like, but on this day all I needed was something hot (temperature-wise) and fiery (spice-wise) to clear my congestion, and I could feel the tightness in my chest loosen its grip. The momos, which are the restaurant's signature doughy dumplings, had the right dumpling skin texture, but I'm not sure I liked the chicken interior too much. Perhaps the quality of the meat or the strong onion-y flavor put me off, but nothing a dousing of hot sauce couldn't obscure. The space is modest, and likely more popular as a takeout/delivery spot or a place for a quick bite. But sometimes the most satisfying eateries come wrapped in the most humblest packaging. read more

Taste great but the service was disappointing. Server basically rushed us out while the minimum suggested tip is 20%

I ordered the baked eggplant. What I got was a bowl of yellow stuff with some unidentiable vegetables (I did identify onion & a bit of tomato) & a bowl of rice. Not much food. It tasted okay but was definitely neither baked nor eggplant. The restaurant has lovely decor, the waiters were attentive. But there was a large crowd there & the noise level was unbelievable, I could hardly hear my companions. And only one bathroom. I had to wait on line to use it. read more

Quaint restaurant that gives off home made food. All the food is delicious. Everything we ordered had great flavor. Garlic naan and Smokey butter chicken were favorites. Food takes a while to come out but it made us think they made everything fresh in the kitchen. We'll be back! read more

The ambiance and service was good. I went at 300 pm on Friday before heading home. I can't eat rice or bread so he states the mutton was with vegetables and lentil soup. Lentil soup was excellent. Mutton was delicious! The vegetables were burnt on the hot plate. Because I can't eat rice, the vegetables are important to me. read more

Great great great service. I asked for the recommend for the momo and he asked if I want soupy/dry spicy/not spicy and picked one for me. Inside was a pretty spacious, clean space with some nice decors. The reason we went in was because this woman came out of the restaurant when I was reading the menu and said "why are you even thinking, go in and get the butter chicken curry." So I did. This smoked butter chicken curry was something else. There was some added dimension to the dish and I felt lighter and happy as I ate it. Mango chutney changed the taste profile of the curry to another whole world and I love love loved it. My partner said it's like what apple sauce is to their cuisine. OH and the mango lassi was one of the bests I've ever had. As great as the curry was I feel like some things were not as insanely good. I'd def go back to get the curry tho. I'd recommend for the mango chutney, curry, naan, and the lassi! read more

Wow there are so many similar restaurants on this particular block, but this one stands out. Lamb Biryani ($17) - the lamb was so tender and the biryani was incredibly flavorful. Aloo paratha ($6) - filling, stuffed with potato I think. This was delicious dipped in the tikka masala. Came with 4 pieces. Chicken tikka masala ($16) - This actually might've been the best chicken tikka masala I've had in nyc. It's on the sweeter side, which I like. The portion was more than enough and the chicken was also tender. Came with rice. Soup momos - these were chicken momos in soup. Thought this was skippable, since it's quite literally dumplings in soup but they did taste good (just nothing noteworthy). Soup was light and had a bit of a sour kick. Came here on a Monday night and it was easy to get a table, though they were definitely busy. It's a little tight between the tables. read more

I've only eaten Nepalese food once before, but I know folks will cringe reading this.. .it's similar to Indian food so I could navigate my way around the menu. I had samosa chat, lamb curry, raita and garlic naan. Everything was delicious and came out freshly made from the kitchen. The folks around me (a mix of various nationalities) were complimenting the food so think everyone had yummy food. Service was good, too. I'd come back, but given I live in Texas.. probably not going to happen anytime soon so y'all go for me. Have a kingfisher for me, too. read more

I ordered this for take out, so didn't get the full experience, but the food was incredible. I went for a classic, chicken tikka masala, and it was so flavorful with such tender pieces of chicken. Would love to try some more items here in person, but great first impression read more

Total gem! Great food, outstanding service and reasonable prices! Has become a go-to place in that neighborhood.

Add this spot to your list. The portions satisfy completely at costs that make sense. Staff made sure our glasses stayed full. Every meal I've had here tastes good. I'll return in the near future. read more

This place is pretty no frills, despite that it offers reservations online. I went on a Wednesday night for dinner with a friend and there was only one other party. The prices here were quite affordable for manhattan & the area, with each dish being about 12.99-15.99. We got all vegetarian dishes. My favorite was the garlic naan to be honest, with the samosas and veg momo. It was nice and casual which was very nice to not feel rushed eating, and the food came out in 15 minutes. Had a great time! read more

The restaurant is smaller and intimate. Plenty of seating with a nice decor and atmosphere. Not super formal, but not super casual. Somewhere in the middle. The waiter was ready to help us at any moment and the food was served quickly. The food was great. Like really really great. The Chili Chicken Momos has great flavor and spice. The Duck/Chicken Curry had great flavor and spice with the additional flavor from the curry leaves. The Himalayan Smoked Butter Chicken was pretty standard butter chicken, but had a greater savory taste than most butter chickens. The Kotha Momos were sooooo good!!! The broth was so incredibly tasty and absolutely engorged the Momos. I will DEFINITELY be coming back here!! read more

Taste From Everest - Himalayan Chicken - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - New York, New York

Taste from Everest has some solid food depending on what you get. Don't get me wrong- everything is good but some items are a lot better than the others. My friend and I got the jhol chicken momos, Himalayan lamb pot, and garlic naan. The food did take unusually long but the employees are all very nice so it's not a problem in my book. The Himalayan lamb pot with garlic naan was good but both my friend and I are Desi and we both thought it was nothing out of the ordinary. The jhol chicken momos, however, were absolutely fantastic. I would definitely be back just for that dish- we had it on a rainy day as well and rest assured it hit the spot. All in all, I'll be back for more of those momos! read more

A small shop from the outside, but what they have to offer are quite diverse and interesting. This is my first time trying food from the region, dishes can look a bit similar to Chinese variations or Indian variations. For example, momo are similar to dumplings. The Himalayan Chicken dish I got was quite mouth watering . Service was awesome as well. read more

Have been here a few times for the momos. The food is good and will satisfy a craving, but is not the best Nepali we have had (that title goes to a place in Virginia). The menu is pretty extensive and the portions are decent. The service can be a bit slow, but I have yet to find a better spot (that is still open) in Manhattan and would recommend it if you are in the area and want Nepali food. read more

We really enjoyed checking out this Himalayan/Nepalese spot located on the outskirts of Curry Hill. Along with the familiar momos, there are a lot of menu items here reminiscent of Indian dishes, but with a Nepalese twist. We ordered: Chicken momos: I actually ordered the chicken jhol momo but we were given the regular ones... but all good. The momos were juicy and the two ahcars - one a dark red spicy sauce that really bright, sharp notes of red peppers and the other a more savory tomato sauce - were delicious. Garlic naan: great. A little bit of a crunchier, crispier, flatter version of naan than some more fluffy, pillowy varieties. Himalayan smoked butter chicken: Much like the Indian version, but the sauce was indeed richer and more savory-- hence the smoked preparation, I suppose. The sauce is also a bit sweet. Served with rice and big chunks of tender chicken. I thought this was very good. Sherpa goat curry: my dining companion ordered this and said it was a little gamey. I just tried a little bit of the sauce, which I thought was flavorful. Mango lassi: not bad at all but not my favorite; I prefer a slightly tangier version. The dining room is on the small-medium side, but on most nights you probably wouldn't have to make a reservation. There were about 3 other tables occupied while we were there but still some open tables. read more

Wow! I didn't even know this place existed on Curry Hill until my friend invited us to go. Really a hole in the wall and unknown to the tourists. me and my 2 friends went hard and ordered 6 dishes: 1) Chicken Chowmein - At first I thought it was just regular chowmein. But surprisingly good. 2) Chicken Chili - WOW SO SPICY. Definitely try. 3) Chicken Momo - These are basically like dumplings (probably a skip) 4) 2x Garlic Naan - Used this to dip in the Massu. 5) Kukhura Ko Massu - some of the softest chicken I ate 6) Bhindi Fry (Okra). My friend also ordered a Mango Lassi which he used to wash down the spiciness. read more

Stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to eat lunch. Great little spot in Murray Hill. This is definitely an under rated gem in the area. I think it's because it's one of the only Nepalese places in the block surrounded by fancy Indian restaurants. The interior could definitely use some work but the food was fantastic! 5/5! Service was also great. Staff were all courteous and was happy to have some good comfort food. We ordered a cheese and a garlic naan, a paneer tarkari which is similar to a an Indian Paneer Makahni and a sizzling plate mutton dish called Poleki Khaso. The food was delicious but I do wish the mutton was a little more tender and that there were a lot more paneer pieces instead of bell peppers and onions in my my paneer. The items all came out it's a huge bowl of rice which was nice! Overall, great spot and I look forward to trying some of other food items! read more
