Everest Cuisine

We found this restaurant by chance after scrolling through yelp for butter chicken, but we ended up loving all the other dishes. The menu is huge so we will definitely revisit whenever we have the cravings for it.Chicken biryani ($15.99) - 5/5 stars. This was the most colorful and flavorful biryani I ever had. It's a quite large portion and the raita served with it made it perfect.Butter chicken ($16.99) - 4/5 stars. Pretty good, however, we were served the butter chicken after the biryani so it felt like it had less flavor.Garlic naan ($3.99) - 5/5 stars. This had so much garlic aroma and flavor, and it was just the perfect texture. It's way better than any other restaurants I've had naan at before.Special Himalayan Steamed Momo ($13.99 for 10 pieces) - 5/5 stars. Also one of the better momos I've had.Overall: 4.75/5 stars. We went later at night and the entire restaurant was full, but the service and food was still great.

Over the years, I have been to both their mountainview location and san jose location several times. I almost always came here on those rare occasions to get a late night meal since it was one of the few options open late at night. It's a great option for a late night meal when in a hurry. Although, I would definitely not come here during the day when I have plethora of better options to choose from in the same cuisine. So take your pick.This time I came to the San Jose location and tried the Everest special chicken momo, chicken lollipop, veg chowmein and chilli chicken. The chicken momo's outer covering is quite thick, the meat inside is decent. Nothing special to mention about it. The chicken lollipop was fresh and served hot with a side of some chutneys. The lollipop was a better dish than the momos suprising since their momos is supposed to be their special dish. The veg chowmein was cooked well, lacked flavor, had decent amount of thinly sliced veggies. The chilli chicken wasn't spicy, had plenty of bell peppers and onion but again lacked flavour. One thing synonymous with all their dishes is they all good when served so the presentation is good but they don't taste as good as they look. If only they improve the flavors this place would be a winner.However, I should note that their service is amazing, the staff is very sweet and accommodating.

One of the best meals I've had in a very long time!The waiter was super nice and friendly, and our food was brought out quickly. The food was extremely well spiced/flavored, hot, and absolutely delicious. The naan was incredibly fluffy and buttery. The bathrooms and restaurant were really clean. We will be back for sure!

I absolutely loved the spicy chow mein, it was my favorite dish out of trying the spicy chilli momos, chicken tikka masala, naan, and the chow mein. All the food was seasoned great, I asked for it to be spicy and they delivered. The momos were a bit too crunchy but still tasty, and the chicken tikka masala was more on the sweet side. The staff was friendly and attentive, they had a good amount of seating, and a friendly ambiance.

Wow. Flavor bombs, brilliant spice levels and great size per cost!! What else do you need. The Bay Area is no slob when it comes to ethnic food, but there aren't a lot of Himalayan food options. A wonderful fusion of South and East Asian flavors (think Indian food meets low mein) I had a bit of it on the East Coast but was happy to see Everest in a small shopping center near my home. Ordered a smattering of their very large (and Veg friendly) menu to go. The City chicken was slamming and the chicken was not dried out. The tandori momos were very unique and packed with flavor while the classic momos were clean, straightforward and delicious. The goat Biryani was packed with flavors and chunks of meat. The final bill was the best bang for the buck I've had in San Jose in a while. Differently on my rotation when I'm home!!

This is one of my new favorite momo place in town. We tried the chicken 65 which is not good. Highly recommend their tandoori and jhol momo. Their royal chai is spicy and just the right sweetness. Also tried Nepali style chicken which went well with butter naan.

They're food is so good!!!!!! This is my boyfriends go to place for the veg chowmein, which he used to get at Inchin restaurant, but for the last 6 times, this is where he goes to order it. Their paneer butter masala is so freaking ood. My spice tolerance is low so I get no spice for chowmein and no-mild for the paneer. The tea is also the best chai in all of san jose area, and I will definitely die on that hill. It has pepper in in I think so it adds flavor. They're really friendly and the food is always fresh. The ambiance inside is cool, they have flags around the world. It looks small inside but it's a good amount of seating. The popularity of this restaurant lives up to the hype.

Service is friendly and food is out of this world tasty. Excellent dinner out!! The lassi is wonderful.

The best Indian and Nepali restaurant in San Jose. If you live in Bay Area then you shouldn't miss their momo, biryani and kebab. Highly recommended.

our te is hotter than your ex better than your next.. justified by the tea I drank here..
