Small place, not much to look at from the outside, but great food. We ordered a vegetable biryani, lamb seekh kababs and tandoori chicken. All were excellent and quantity was very good for the price too. The biryani was very flavorful. My daughter, who is a picky eater, polished off the whole plate of tandoori chicken and picked at my lamb seekh kebab - having never eaten lamb befor. Very highly recommended.

Wife’s fam is from India, and she says the biryani is exactly as it should be. Loved the curry. The korma was best ever. But don’t overlook the chicken lollipops, a tasty appetizer.Simple place to eat. Nothing fancy, but very comfortable.
Phenomenal food. I have tried so many dishes and they are all fantastic. You have to get naan bread as well. We always have leftovers and they warm up great too.
Hole in the wall place, with the best food and staff in towm!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in South Dakota. The food is phenomenal and the people are SO nice!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan foods availableKid-friendliness: They are very nice and understanding about kids
TLDR: Please spend your money at this business. I have repeatedly found nothing but amazing service, and a wonderful array of incredibly filling, comforting dishes here. Best restaurant in rapid city for Indian-Nepalese food HANDS DOWN. If I had the means I would go here daily.Also, if you are just thinking of getting some to go, they offer take out, and have always been fast, and the food is fresh and wonderfully packaged. Take a naan basket home with you!The food at everest cuisine is hands-down the most authentic, mouth-watering-ly tasty food in all of rapid city. Me and my girlfriend regularly visit everest at least once a month - that is, on months where we dont go very often. REGARDLESS, this restaurant is absolutely wonderful. The lady who works there is incredibly friendly, and always greets us when we go, and its always a wonderful experience. I love to explore outside of my comfort zone occasionally when I am eating indian food, and Everest has NEVER dissapointed me.Here are a few of my personal must-haves:Chicken Makhani (butter chicken)Chicken Tikka MasalaGarlic Cheese NaanTandoori Chicken (I enjoy bone-in, but boneless is alsowonderful. Bunch of absolutely mind-meltingly delish veggiestossed in some absolutely wonderful spices, served sizzling. Ireccomend. ASK FOR RAITA alongside it. Trust me, itswonderful.)Onion KulchaAny Samosa. Samosa Chat is delish too, its served cold, but itis refreshing, and FULL of flavor. Lots of yogurt, mint sauce (itworks wonderfully), and tamarind. Oh, and this AMAZING dustof their "signature" seasoning. Im not sure what it is for sure,but they dust it on their lamb samosa, as well as their chickenpakoda. I wish I had the recipe man.....Kid-friendliness: Taking kids out for Indian food? Sounds like a recipe for a meltdown, right? No. Enter Everest Cuisine, stage left. Chicken Pakoda? Juicy chicken, breaded in a wonderful crispy chickpea batter. Best chicken nugget on earth. Your kids will love this stuff I PROMISE you. They also have something called "chicken meatball lollipop". Sound a bit strange? WRONG. Its literally super flavorful delicious chicken on a stick. You cannot go wrong. Your picky eaters won't even notice they've left their comfort zone. What kid would say no to "chicken meatball lollipop".
Amazing food! Great atmosphere!If you leave hungry, you didn't do it right!Kid-friendliness: A very delightful and relaxed atmosphere, feel like eating at home!
A frequent choice for excellent Himalayan cuisine. I often visit the India peninsula, and the food here is true to traditional and authentic. Moderate pricing. Beer and wine options available. Good service, and no wait if buffet option. Occasionally full, so maybe make reservations if able.

Little place but full of flavor. We came earlier than our reservation but they accommodated us anyway. My daughter and I are both gluten free and we had many options to pick from. Great food, great prices, we loved it!Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options!Parking: Tight squeeze and not many spots but the place was nearly full and we still found one around the back.

Always an amazing experience at Everest! I love the people and the food is always amazing. The best Nepalese food I’ve ever been able to find!!!!
The food is really good if you've never had Indian food you would like it asked for the naan bread. It's something different but it's good like having a home cooked meal.

Ordered food to go and was told 30- 45 min.Showed up and waited another hour and 20 min. Was told they had to cook for anyone coming in to eat there first. Never heard of that. Food was so so. Won't be back
