Food is very good. The steamed momos and thukpa was amazing. I also like the samosa chaat- very good preparation.
We ate here for lunch, and it was wonderful! We got the daal bhaat (Nepali curry) with goat meat, pictured here. Everything tasted so rich and was well spiced! The greens and lentil soup were both especially big hits with us, the goat was very tender (though watch out for bone pieces), and the rice pudding was the perfect end to the meal. I think by itself, this would be enough for two people who didn't have enormous appetites - however, my husband was very hungry so we also got a plate of vegetable momo dumplings, which were also delicious. We will definitely be back!
Great Indian food! I love it here. Really authentic. I highly recommend 3 stars for spice level, it takes the curry to another level. Take out is well packaged. That said, estimated takeout times are sometimes super off, told 20 min and it takes 45 to receive food. This has happened a few times. The interior of the restaurant is average
Best Veg and Non Veg momos in Seattle. Staff is really nice and food service is also relatively quick. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for momo/dimpsums in Seattle area.
We had amazing food and service for our Saturday lunch. Everyone loved their Thukpas. Chicken biryani was also surprisingly good given its a Nepalese place. Sekuwa chicken was also good.
I went with some friends to get Indian food. They both love it, I’m not a big fan but I figured I could find something id like, I mean I live white rice so if nothing else looked good there was always that! I got Chicken Korma A traditional dish prepared with exotic spices, herbs, cashews, almonds, and coconut with a light creamy sauce with your choice of vegetables, chicken, lamb, or shrimp. Korma A traditional dish prepared with exotic spices, herbs, cashews, almonds, and coconut with a light creamy sauce When I tell you I loved it I mean seriously It was so good! The flavors were so fresh and Flavorful I was really impressed! I also tried their dishes Coconut curry And Butter chicken Which were delicious as well I’d definitely go back and get any of them But the Chicken Korma was at the top of my list! For sure a 10/10
We tried Nepali cuisine at The Everest Kitchen near Lake Forest Park. The cozy, clean atmosphere and friendly staff created a warm and welcoming experience. We started with veg tandoori momos and steamed chicken momos. For the main course, we ordered Malai Kofta paired with garlic naan; the curry was wonderfully flavorful, and the naan was fresh and soft. Alongside, we enjoyed a refreshing mango lassi. For dessert, we finished with Gulab Jamun, which was delightful. Overall, we were very satisfied with both the food and the experience. We will visit again
The food here is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. If you’re a chunks-of-meat eater, this can be your place. They do really good vegan food here too, according to a lifelong vegan with serious meat allergies. We stumbled onto this place purely by accident and can’t thank our lucky stars enough. As a constant consumer of all kinds of dumplings of many ethnic origins, their chicken momos are superb—plump, balanced with its meat and vegetables, not heavily seasoned, but beautifully spiced. These need no sauce, although they do come with one that I prefer to dip my naan in. You get 10 of them in a single serving. In another entree, there’s easily a half pound of cubed meat in their delicious lamb sekuwa. The portions are hefty and meant to create leftovers for the average eater. The first time we went, my husband got lamb biryani and could not finish it. He-who-dislikes-leftovers had zero problems polishing off the leftover biryani the next day. The second time we went on a last-minute whim on Christmas Eve, he went with a set meal of chicken curry daal bhaat. He had not eaten for hours and loosened his belt so he could polish dinner down to the last grain of rice in the included rice pudding. And still, we brought home naan. If I can say nothing else, we drove up from Des Moines to Lake Forest Park to eat there 3 days after we first ate there. An elderly friend of ours practically flew up from Georgetown to meet us there for dinner when I called her with no notice whatsoever. The food is truly that exceptional. Right now, this feels like a hardworking family-run, small business. They are trying to scale up their operations and seemed unprepared for the enormous traffic that holiday web ordering brings to places with incredibly good food at reasonable prices. This will not be fast. If you’re in a hurry, this ain’t your place. Please don’t say you support local small immigrant family businesses if your expectations are to get corporate treatment and throw a fit if your large, complicated order took more than 30 minutes to come together—like we watched one person do on Christmas Eve. They are not perfect, but their food is really worth the drive and wait. We are now planning our 3rd dinner there to meet family members, who just stopped by briefly to pick up a key while we were dining on Christmas Eve night. Just by the smells alone, they will be eating at the Everest Kitchen soon—with or without us. But once again, we will be driving up from south of SeaTac airport just to eat there with them.
