About Everest Kitchen Restaurant & Bar

Everest Kitchen is a lovely discovery for those seeking authentic Nepalese cuisine in a quaint atmosphere. This restaurant offers a well-chosen selection of local craft beers, including a lovely strong citrusy IPA from an Oakland brewery. The menu features dishes such as Momos, which are served with an extra spicy tomato sauce, and Lamb Saag Curry, which can be ordered at varying spice levels. The garlic and plain naan are cooked to perfection, and the service is friendly, attentive, and kind. The interior is simple, clean, and pleasant, providing a cozy vibe. Visitors can enjoy a delightful dining experience, with background music that sets the mood without interfering with conversation. The waitstaff can help with menu selections if needed. The outdoor seating in a parklet is also a nice touch. Everest Kitchen is a great spot to try new dishes and enjoy a lovely meal in a welcoming environment. They have an excellent selection of beers on tap, which are very reasonably priced.

The momos are perfection—tender, flavorful, and authentic. The chili momos are crispy and spicy, quite different from the steamed version. The lamb chops and Chicken Sekuwa are grilled to smoky, spiced bliss, while the Goat Curry is pure tradition. The flavorful Chowmein is a hit with both kids and adults. Cocktails inspired by Nepali flavors, like cardamom and mango lassi, add a delightful twist. The overall experience is elevated, with warm service and food that keeps visitors coming back. While some dishes, like the thali lunch, may not meet expectations, the ambience remains nice and clean, with attentive staff ready to ensure a pleasant dining experience.
