The spicy level was too much when we ask medium too.
Samosa chat was like salad chat. š 10% samosa and 90% vegetables
Worst indian restaurant food I have ever eaten to date. All the food items given to me was at least three days old, chewy chicken pakora, even after chewing for very long time to the point my jaws ached, I had to spit it out.
Tandoori chicken was another nightmare, it was worse at so many levels, old chicken, no spice, on a vegetable bed made of frozen vegetables that was watery and soaking chicken from the bottom, like seriously how do you guys even call it a Tandoori chicken. Chicken curry was stale with no taste as well. Finally, basmati rice that was way old and reheated so many time, it was more crunchy, like rice crisps.
Huge disappointment, 60$ down the drain, family and I better off eaten pizza instead of this garbage food. We threw everything out. Now praying we dont get food poisoning from all this.
Amazing food and service. Portions were great and was stuffed after a long road trip. Highly recommended Indian food!
We loved the food and the service here. The Chicken Biryani was excellent!
As an Indian living far from home, finding authentic Indian food in such a remote area is truly comforting. Everest offers a variety of Indo-Nepalese dishes that taste great and feel like home. Itās not a big or fancy place, but itās clean, simple, and has enough space to dine comfortably.
The food is flavorful, the portions are satisfying, and the prices are moderateāmaking it a solid choice for both students and families. I had no complaints and genuinely enjoyed my experience. Highly recommend it to anyone craving Indian or Nepalese cuisine in this area.
I absolutely LOVE this place, its people and of course their food! I love eating there, taking it home, and delivering it for others since I work for food delivery in my off-time. I'm so thankful I am able to enjoy this place. I do miss the buffet lunches because I was able to try new things without ordering a whole meal, but I have certainly found my favorite comfort food! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Great food! Lots of spice options & vegetarian options!

This was our third time here and it never disappoints! All the food was delicious and the portion sizes were actually enough to get you full! We tried the Bhutan bharta (a creamy eggplant based with peas) and were blown away by the flavor. The Nepalese chicken curry, lamb biryani and mixed grill all were amazing as well! The mixed grill and the lamb biryani were piled high.
The owner is a sweet woman who was working the front and took our order, she explained the eggplant dish how the recipe came from her grandmother. The male waiter was attentive and so sweet, especially to our fussy 18month old boy!
This place actually makes eating out a positive experience! Highly recommend especially after a long day outside!!!

I have been to over 200 Indian Restaurants in the US. This food is definitely the worst. The most bland food I ever had. Itās not just āno saltā, itās also āno flavorā. Avoid this place at all costs. We also waited about an hour for only 2 items. The restaurant is also pretty cold, I was freezing even with full sleeves. I think they bought reviews, this place definitely shouldnāt have 4.5 stars.

I came here when they first opened and I was amazed. The food is literally to die for. I came back 13 years later and the food is still phenomenal. The restaurant was clean, the service was amazing, and the food so fresh and delightful. 11/10 out of the park amazing. And the price is extremely reasonable. Will be coming back more often

Delicious Indian food in Rapid City! The service was quick and attentive, and the portions were very generous. I got the Chicken Curry, lentil soup, and naan and all were delicious. I also liked the cozy ambience and the cool Himalayan photos / decor around the restaurant. Definitely a great and reliable spot to eat in Rapid!

The food was so delicious we went back a second time during our trip across SD! We stopped for dinner the first time and lunch the second time. The dining room is fairly small and is very clean. The booth we were seated in both times was clean and comfortable. During dinner they were busy and the food came out quickly despite all of the tables seated! One of us is Vegan and they were able to tell us what was vegan and assured us what fit the dietary restrictions.
The first stop we ordered: Vegetable samosas that were crispy, hot, and nicely seasoned. They're served with two dipping sauces. A herb chutney and a red vinegar based sauce (I believe) the chutney was fresh and refreshing. I loved the red sauce and wish I would have asked what it was because it was amazing. It was acidic, with a hint of vinegar, and slightly sweet. It paired beautifully with the potato/pea samosas filling.
For the main entrees I had ordered the chicken korma which was delicious. The sauce was beautiful and thick. The vegan entree ordered was the vegetable curry. It was loaded with fresh vegetables with a flavorful curry sauce. The entrees came with a large bowl of basmati rice. We also ordered the garlic naan and the onion kulcha. Both breads were thin, crispy, and hot. The garlic was a strong flavor that paired well with the curries. The onion kulcha had medium sized pieces of red onion throughout that made for a flavorful bread!
The servings were incredibly generous. I believe we both ate roughly half of our food and had plenty of leftovers for later that night.
For the second trip we ordered the paneer curry which was really good. I had never ordered it before so I wasn't sure what to expect. The cheese cubes had a firmness similar to form tofu. They were pleasantly chewy and had the cheese squeak! We also ordered the chana masala which was loaded full of chickpeas with a thinner sauce. We of course ordered both of the same breads and samosas as the time before because we couldn't get over how good they were.
All in all everything was amazing and I really wish that we could have brought the restaurant home to Missouri with us. I can say without a doubt if Everest Cuisine is open for service the next time we find ourselves in the area we will not hesitate to go back for more!
Vegetarian options: We ordered the vegetable curry and vegetable samosas on our first trip. Second trip we ordered vegetable samosas, paneer (cheese) tika masala, and chana masala (chickpea). Paneer was firm but had the cheese squeak. Chana masala was a heaping serving and delicious. Samosas were phenomenal! Crispy, hot, topped with a tasty seasoning. The dipping sauces for the samosas were to die for. The herb chutney was fresh and delicious. I'm not sure what the deep red vinegary sauce that was served with them too but it was my absolute favorite of the two!
Dietary restrictions: When we told our server that my significant other was vegan she recommended dishes and assured us that the items ordered were dairy/meat/animal prouduct free. She also notified us that a typically shared item ordered did have dairy in it as soon as I ordered it for myself. (no dietary restrictions)
