Everest Kitchen Restaurant & Bar

Good vegetarian options. Everything in the Thali was great and a relatively good value. And in the other dish they made a mistake on the number of momos and made up for it with something extra - presumably representative of the way they treat everything. Highly recommended!

We just tried the chili momos for the first time. The are very good: crispy, saucey, spicy, quite different from the more dumpling-like (but also very good) steamed momos. Pretty much everything we have tried on the menu has been excellent, both with meat and veggie. A go-to spot for us alone or with visitors.

Everest Kitchen on Solano is a true Albany–Berkeley gem! The momos are perfection — tender, flavorful, and authentic. The lamb chops and Chicken Sekuwa are grilled to smoky, spiced bliss, while the Goat Curry is pure tradition for the purist. Kids (and adults) will love the flavorful Chowmein.

The cocktails are just as impressive — with Nepali-inspired flavors like cardamom, clove, and even mango lassi making each drink stand out.
Definitely an elevated culinary experience for my edacious cravings.
Warm service, cozy vibe, and food that keeps you coming back. Don’t forget to savor the chai.

We had lamb thali lunch, chicken jhol momos, chicken chowmein and lassi. Chicken jhol momos and chowmein were really nice but thali lunch was a waste. The dal seemed microwaved, the pickle was old, there was no curry, and basically it was not a nepali thali. And the chowmein that we paid around 18 bucks, was just 5-6 spoons. For the price level, the portions were very little. Other than that, the ambience was nice, clean and the staffs were attentive and nice too.

We stumbled upon Everest kitchen while were were looking for some Indian food after a hike.

I was hoping for the regular Indian/Nepalese restaurant experience but my opinion started to shift as soon as I entered the restaurant. Everest is not a run of the mill Indian restaurant. It's very classy and elegant. The decor, the music and the whole vibe.

All the servers were very polite and welcoming. We ordered Pani puri, nimki chat, veggie koftas and naans. The food was very delicious. I remember taking a bite out of the naan and it took me back to the dhabas in India. Veggie koftas were super delicious too. Staff was gracious enough to give us complimentary daal. The simplicity of that daal made it so homely and flavorful.

Everest Kitchen was a great neighborhood spot, perfect for two friends catching up. It was not too busy on a week day night but had a nice buzz. The butter chicken was so delicious I had to order one to-go for my family!

I think this spot is a better fit for non-vegetarians than vegetarians. My husband really enjoyed his Chicken Momo and Chicken Tikka Masala, while my Veg Chowmein and Veg Korma were just okay. That said, the garlic naan was tasty and the overall food quality was solid.

Shared two delicious items with a friend: pan fried lamb and chicken curry. Each item came with rice and lentil soup and was pretty satisfying. I cannot comment on whether the flavors were authentic but I liked them both. Very friendly service was quick and efficient. Restaurant was delightfully easy to have a conversation in on a Sunday evening. 👍🏼
