Mount Everest Restaurant and Bar

Excellent flavorful food! The owner is very friendly and accommodating and proud of his recipes. My dish of chickpeas, cauliflower and peas had 16 perfectly balanced spices. As I was enjoying the meal and realized was feeling full, I had to finish it because it was so good!Garlic flat bread was also awesome.Highly recommend you give this Hamden gem a try, you won't be disappointed.

We had a really great first meal at Mount Everest. Decided to check it out for a change of pace. It's a relatively unassuming place right on the Avenue in Hampden but the food is really great. We had the samosa appetizer and then the chicken chow chow noodles (fabulous), chicken tikka masala (absolutely delicious), chicken jurelly (very good), vegetarian jalfrezi (very good) and garlic Naan (delicious). The only miss was the momo which are dumplings but the chicken mix inside was dry and not very flavorful. Other than that we had a great meal and it was not too expensive. Entrees were around $15. Will definitely be back!

This was my first visit and the food was fantastic. I will be going back for sure. I am ready to kick the spice up another level.

Super friendly people, convenient location, and really good food that they will make however you like it. This is a hidden gem. I've tried most of the Indian/Nepali places around, and this is definitely one of the best.

I've been to Mount Everest twice now - once to eat in and once to pick up takeout. I love it. The food is delicious; the menu has a little bit of everything; the restaurant is casual and traditional and charming; and the service is great. The menu has a lot to offer, from some traditional Indian dishes (samosas, pakoras, saag, Tikka Masala, biryani, chana masala) to Nepali specialties (momo - dumplings, chow chow - noodles, and more). If you love Indian food, you'll like Mount Everest. If you love Nepali food, you'll like Mount Everest. If you've never tried either, give it a shot. So far I've tried: Himalay Junelly (GREAT; we've eaten it twice), Chicken Chow Chow (delicious!), Bone-in goat curry (yum), Mt. Everest Momo (great), garlic naan (also great), and Kashmiri naan (amazing). I love that we live walking distance to this great Nepali restaurant right on the Avenue in Hampden. We'll be regulars for dine in and takeout!

I love Indian food and have been to several restaurants in the area, but Mt Everest has never disappointed me. The food is delicious every time (and I've only ever done takeout). I hope they continue to stick around.

Delicious food in a cozy little restaurant. Our waitress was lovely. Best Tikka Masala I have ever had!

Great Indian food on 36th! Really good chicken tika, not dry like a lot of other spots. Saag paneer and garlic naan were delicious. A+

Food is very good. But the buffet is pricey, $20 versus $16 at Kumari. Buffet selection was also very limited

Small and cozy. Staff is very attentive. Several vegan options. I had the China masala and liked it.
