This restaurant has been on my wish-list for a long time. As an Indian and Nepalese cuisine lover, I almost tried all the possible restaurants in Edinburgh for this type of cuisine, except this one which has been closed during its normal working hours without telling when it will reopen to customers. Luckily, it finally reopens on a Saturday noon when my sister passed it and noticed. So we immediately decided to have dinner in the Everest. Lets go straight with food first. We ordered chicken momo, vegetable korma and mushroom bhaji with plain naan. As starter, chicken momo was served after about ten minutes. It was freshly made accompanied with home-made tasty sauce and tiny side salad. However, two of five dumplings seem had fragile pastry with fillings were exposed. Nevertheless, the dumplings had solid fillings, but honestly we did not taste any chicken within the fillings. In comparison to momo, its side sauce was much nicer and delicious. Its taste is like home-made, fresh and not hot with coriander on it. Soon we finished our momo, hoping the waiter can serve the main dishes quickly. It took us about ten minutes trying to find waiter in the restaurant as no one was at the counter at that time. Luckily, a young man with lovely smile noticed that we finished the starter and came to give us quite warm big plates for our coming main dishes. Soon the main dishes were served after the hot plate put on our table to keep curry flavoury and hot. Personally I think offering hot plate is very considerate because lots of Indian restaurants have good curries but they soon turn to be cold, hence the flavor deteriorates once curries become cold. Mix vegetable korma is absolutely amazing with generous portion and dessicated coconut. It is not creamy, unlike traditional creamy korma in some of Indian restaurants. Personally I think it is one of best two korma in Edinburgh (the other one is Namaste Kathmandu). The mushroom bhaji is also great and delicious. Both of main dishes are mild, which are good for us as spice intolerant people. Yet, plain naan was not very impressive relatively. They were hard to cut and too crispy. Im not sure whether they are over cooked by tandoori.The menu includes a wide variety of choice, including traditional Indian and Nepalese dishes. So you might want to try all of them. The Everest restaurant overall did a good job both for its service and its food. The chief knows exactly what he cooks and culture of this cuisine. There were also lots of customer after us coming to the restaurant, who were mostly regular customers. The young waiter who told us he worked part time in the restaurant particularly had good service quality. I would highly recommend this restaurant to Indian and Nepalese cuisine lover and definitely try other dishes next time.
Along with Yak and Yeti, one of my favourite nepalese restaurants in town. Although the presentation of the dishes is not fancy at all, they lack no flavour or spices. Awesome pakoras, delicious momos (I could eat them all the time) and fine curries. And very good value for money. madaboutravel.com
