Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill

Indian/Nepali food in Vancouver downtown is generally good but this place would be in top 20 percentile in our opinion.

After having walked more than 15K steps, one can splurge on dinner. We got the draft beers, the mutton kebabs and the samosa chat to start with. Then we got the chowmein and naan and a curry to finish it off. The samosa chat was a little sour (if we nitpick) but everything else was delicious. The noodles were especially good and we would highly recommend trying them.

The service was excellent and while this is a small place, the ambience was decent.

The chicken chow-mein was a disappointment.
The chow-mein didn't have veggies, it was just noodles with dried up black chicken and not tasty. I have had better chow-mein back in Bay Area and also in Vancouver. Never going to order chow-mein again.

The tandoori chicken and chicken biryani were good. These were money's worth, not the chow-mein

One of my coworkers and my go to lunch spot! They have an fabulous variety of Napalese, Indo-chinese, and East Indian dishes. In my visits I usually get the lunch specials which includes options from vegetable/chicken/lamb curry and tandoori chicken. The specials come in a metal tray that includes rice, lentil curry, pakora, rice, Naan, and a dessert. It's a great option if you like variety. But if you like a larger portion for main dish I would recommend ordering the individual dishes instead.

Service is attentative and even with a group of 8 they were quick to take our order and get our lunches out quickly. They are very flexible with our orders as well as I asked if I can have the butter chicken to replace the curry for the lunch special and they gladly helped me replace that. Would definitely come here again to try out more dishes.

Finally my search for finding a decent Thupka place in North America came to a halt. I definitely have had better Thupka in India but I will accept Everest Kitchen's Thupka however it is - it is still better than all other Thupkas I have tried.

However what was even more delicious was the Johl Momo - so so flavourful and tasty - lovely amazing stuff.

The ambience is decent and the service is very nice. We loved our experience. We were even served with Nepalese style Daal (lentil soul).

Ok. I love love love the food in this place. I have not had indo chinese food for the longest time and this was worth it. I loved the noodles and chilli momos especially. All flavors have been rightly done. Ambiance and seating is good too. Its kind if street styled but very clean. Service was quick and fast. Everyone was super friendly. There was no waiting.

Yelp comes through again. We were looking for a place for dinner within walking distance of our hotel and saw this place had good reviews. We were not disappointed. We enjoy Indian cuisine and this is similar but also has some unique flavors that set it apart.

The portion sizes were pretty generous including the appetizers. We got the mixed vegetables pakoras and nearly filled up on that alone. Our entrees came out a little too soon after the appetizer but otherwise the service was great. I got the chicken sekuwa and my wife got the chicken tikka masala. We also got an order of garlic naan. We ordered medium spicy on both dishes and they were both robust in terms of the spiciness but not too spicy. The flavors of the food shone through but if you do not like spicy food then stick with mild. I like spicy food but medium was plenty spicy.

We're only here for a couple days but we absolutely would love to return.

Terrific Nepalese place where you can really dial-in your meal with the flavors you prefer from the cultures surrounding the mountain. We considered going back for a a second meal -- the food was unlike that which we have tried before and the service was solid.

We got chicken momo which was a great starter for the four of us, and choosing fried was probably the way to go. The Fish Chilli had some spice to it and was delicious and crispy, with perhaps a bit of sweet and sour sauce going on.

The thukpa was super interesting with delicious broth. Beef was better than the chicken but getting two of these to try wasn't needed. We should have picked one. The noodles were not the star of the show in this delicious soup -- they seemed like pasta noodles.

So amazing!! Food was spectacular. Drinks were not good! Would go back for sure. :)

Delicious lunch vegetable thali with massive portions--could easily split with someone. Naan basket also arrives with more than enough for two people. Great flavors at a reasonable price point.

Wonderful food and terrific service. Can you ask for more? This place is a gem one of the absolute best Indian food places we've ever been to. I know they serve more than Indian food, but the cuisine from that area was just tremendous here. The tandoori, which is highly recommended by everyone else on yelp is also highly recommended by us. I've never had tandoori that wasn't dry, but this place beat all expectations. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and still with a distinct tandoori flavor. and that's just one item on the menu!

FOOD: again, what can I say! Amazing! We had a combination of chicken, tikka masala, vegetable, Pecora, and chicken, tandoori, and all of it was amazing! Seriously, seriously good! It was all cooked, perfectly moist where it was supposed to be moist, crunchy, where it was supposed to be crunchy, and flavorful all around.

SERVICE: quick service with a friendly attitude, and everything plated very nicely. The portion sizes were great, and the food again was delicious!

COST: very reasonable for what you get. I was completely stuffed by the time we left! Would definitely come here again if we are ever in Vancouver. Very close to the port so if you are coming for a cruise at a Vancouver, be sure to look this place up. Within walking distance!
