The first time we had takeout from Everest, it was phenomenal. Whoever made the chicken soup specifically as well as the other chicken dishes that day crafted them in an entirely delectable way; however, when we dined in at their establishment, it was an extremely different and disappointing experience.
I’m familiar with other Indian/Nepalese restaurants and the off-putting flavors combined with small portions and implausible prices were nothing like what I expected. The miniature soup cups tasted diluted compared to last time, and it had different spices than before (which my entire table agreed made it inedible). The masala sauce had an abnormal red hue. The saag was putrid as if something was flawed with the spinach itself. They brought out one medium sized dish of rice for four people/entrees. When a friend and I had takeout prior, we were given a large portion of rice in a little to-go box for only two small entrees and some naan. The service was redeeming and our server was incredibly sweet, but every other aspect became too much to overlook.
I’m surprised this place has such rave reviews given the extensive inconsistencies in portion size, quality, and seasonings. Change in regards to taste can be good, if not enriching, but the flavors were lacking in a major way when we dined in. It could’ve simply been an off day for them, but that doesn’t change the fact that their off days can result in such less than ideal dining experiences. We officially won’t be returning to what we thought and hoped was our new favorite spot for Indian/Nepalese cuisine. It’s unfortunate, but I genuinely recommend avoiding this restaurant. In fact, it’d be more fulfilling to find a different Indian/Nepalese restaurant nearby that will actually give you the proper servings of more appropriately priced food that you order.

I recommend the Lamb Curry from here. I ordered mine medium and it was perfect. This was my second visit in order to write an average review. The 1st time was on a Friday evening and I was the 1st one there but quickly after every single booth was occupied. This is a hidden gem who has the best lamb curry I've had in a long time. The curry wasn't watered down like most. The garlic nam was great for dipping in sauce. The lamb was tender yet fully cooked. I actually crave this place... yes, that good!

A big NOPE for me. I’ve eaten a lot of Indian/Nepalese food and this is not it. The masala sauce was the weirdest, most unnatural red color, the prices were outrageous for the small portions, and we actually left still hungry. I think I had maybe 5 pieces of small chicken in my dish (it was mostly sauce,) and they brought out ONE portion of rice for 4 people. I’m honestly so confused why this place has such good reviews. Maybe it was just a bad day? I usually give restaurants a second chance before deciding on my opinion, but I just can’t with this one.

I had a simple bowl of thukpa: tender wheat noodles with crunchy vegetables in a delicious, spicy broth soup! Kind of tangy and perfect for a cold day especially with a cup of chai!

Ate lunch here recently. I was the only person in the place. The service was inattentive, the food was average at best, and the interior could use some attention (e.g., paint, new ceiling tiles, etc.). Also, the chicken I ordered was overcooked - by a lot.
