Welcome to Everest

More than a restaurant: two kitchens, one table.

Everest is a celebration of cultural diversity through food, bringing the cooking of Nepal and India together on Home Street, a few minutes’ walk from the King’s Theatre.

Combining Nepalese and Indian culinary traditions, Everest offers a rich blend of Himalayan flavours and classic Indian dishes: hearty momo and dal makhani, fiery curries and aromatic biryani, all made with the freshest ingredients, carefully selected spices and traditional cooking techniques.

With attentive service, a warm atmosphere and exceptional food, every visit is a memorable one, whether it’s a birthday celebration, a romantic date or a casual gathering with friends.

Recipes carried down the mountain.

Our Everest special curries are where the kitchen shows what it can do: Nepalese recipes, slow-cooked sauces and plenty of fresh garlic, ginger and herbs.

Masu is barbecued chicken tikka or tender lamb in a rich Nepalese tomato and onion gravy. Himalayan chilli garlic is hot and sour with Himalayan chilli, garlic and ginger. Methi is cooked with fenugreek, pudina with fresh mint, and our Gurkhali fish curry with mustard and curry leaf.

Prefer it gentle? Naryali chicken is mild and creamy with coconut, and our butter chicken is a guest favourite.
