Just ordered takeout from here last night. i got the chicken kompa, pork momo (pictured), and the beef dish with sweet potato noodles.AMAZING! it was ready on time, and this food is such great quality with good flavors and just what i wanted. i will be going back

I cannot say enough good things about Everest. As both a customer and a delivery driver, they have always treated me incredibly well. Their menu is diverse, wildly accommodating, super tasty, and surprisingly affordable for the quality.They have a moving story and are lovely people. Pick this place. Eat here and support a great local business.

I forgot to take pictures but the mo:mo was okay, nowhere near the best ones we have ever had. However the goat curry was nothing I would have thought of. It basically felt goat pieces dipped in ketch-up without any authentic spices.

Our favorite restaurant! They offer Nepalese Indian and Korean foods. Family owned and operated. Always good quality and friendly service. They offer Vegan and gluten-free dishes that are amazing. The lunch buffet is very reasonable.

Absolutely loved the food here. I had the hot and spicy chicken and it was just the perfect spice for me. It was also a huge helping. So although the price is a little high, you do get a ton of food.We also tried the naan and JJ noodles. Both were excellent! Great service and comfy atmosphere. Will definitely try to go back.

I...love...this...place!Im from New Orleans so food is a way of life. Ive traveled to eleven different countries and all over the USA and this is week Ive visited this place twice. I will be back in November and will be here every night.Awesome Asian food and awesome service. The owners came out every night and asked how the food was. Something you do not see every day. The Kimchi is great and I could eat that just by itself.Keep killing it guys, I can not wait to come back and enjoy you hospitality.

Great place for authentic Nepalese food! Loved that all the dishes were purely Nepalese. Felt like having food at home. Excellent customer service. Best Nepalese food I have had in the States.

This place is fantastic. From the awesome staff that are very attentive, to the cool atmosphere. To the really cool buffet just an all-around awesome place I would highly suggest going here for any business occasion or pleasure. Partial part of the sale goes to medical help in Nepal so you get to help some people and eat some great food. I will be back here very soon.

One of my new favorites. Husband got the tikka masala and I got the chicken korma. It was so good! We have been back several times now - the goat curry may actually be my fave now.

I live this place and have ordered several times and been very happy with my food. Last week I ordered my usual and it tasted like it was from a completely different restaurant. The korma and tikka were both very bland and seasoned strangely. I’m afraid to order again.

My friend and I chose this place because as we were enjoying the bars in The Grove I had the JJ noodles, which is fusion of Nepalese and Korean food. It was so delicious. There was a flavor in there that I dont think Ive ever tasted before. The story of the restaurant and its owners is amazing. Lots of options for vegetarians! I would argue they have the best veggie samosas in St. Louis.Definitely going back and I hope to try some things from their drink menu!

The food and service were amazing! I usually drink a lot of water with dinner where ever I go and I swear every time I looked away someone came by and refilled it. So happy I came to try out Nepalese food because I will be back!

One of the best Nepali restaurant I have ever been to. The service was excellent. I rate them 10/5.Also, the story of the owner presented in the menu is really motivating.

A unique and flavorful experience. Buffet style every day allows you to not have to choose just one dish. Excellent prices and amazing food. Ready to become a regular.

I had higher expectations for the food here after someone highly recommended Everest to me. While I loved that the chicken in the chicken tikka masala was grilled, I was disappointed by what I perceived as a lack of flavor in the sauces. Like a few other reviewers, my rice was undercooked. I dont think Ill be returning.

My plating was a little messy, because I smelled the goodness and couldn’t get it on the plate quick enough. Oh, and this was just the first plate I consumed. Super friendly staff too and naan-judgmental when I ate all the rice and asked for more from the back.

Best Nepali and Korean taste.

The best rice pudding I have ever had! Food was good and hearty. There wasnt excessive use of oil or salt and everything was spiced well.

Delicious, authentic and reasonably priced. Would 100% recommend!

Great fresh-tasting samosas, noodles, and kimchi was nice on the side. Theyre taking covid precautions seriously and pickup is only through the front door.

I had very high expectation for this place because it looked delicious. I Was highly disappointed in receiving my food in a little container for price.

Loved it!! Their service was so friendly and the atmosphere was great. Everything we ordered was delicious, and I loved all the vegetarian options to choose from.

This is called Chicken choiela if you call yourself Authentic Nepali restaurant you better try to be Authentic it’s not that difficult

Went to Everest cafe because they offer a great vegetarian selection as well as a great variety of entrees; I highly recommend it as a great place to take someone who is vegetarian on a date! The servers were beyond friendly and welcoming, and I was intrigued by all the information on how the restaurant was started.The food was phenomenal, I ordered the JJ Noodle which is combination of Nepalese and Korean food. The quality and quantity of the food youre given for the price is definitely worth it. I will certainly be going back to try the rest of their menu.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant to get chicken tikka masala. I will be in the area at 4:45 and will wait till 5pm as that’s when they open for dinner to order their food. Dine in or carry out.

The food and service was excellent!!

Great food, Great service, Great place

I can only speak to the lunch buffet, but each time I visit, I am impressed and leave very full! There is a good selection of food - especially for vegetarians. My only issue is that I am not entirely sure of what each dish is and therefore were not always sure of the spice level. Even the items that were a bit too much for my taste were still good :)

Amazing buffet! Great vegetarian/vegan options. Cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Before tonight I would never have gone back there if I wasnt a delivery driver, the food may be good but the woman that came to the door was extremely rude she made me feel so unwanted and told me that I would be waiting in the cold for 45 min. On a call in order! But tonight was the opposite the gentleman was very gracous and apologized for the 15 min. Wait!

Great place for takeout and delivery. Quick service and always tasty food to try out. chicken dumplings is the must to order.❤️❤️

Delicious authentic food at reasonable price! Will visit again :)

Everest Cafe is one of my favorite places in St. Louis. Its a small cozy space with a great selection of asian food and the quality is impressive. At Lunch they have a all you can eat type of buffet which I recommend and at night you have a great menu, very friendly for Vegetarians and Vegans.

The momos were okay but the Chicken korma was just bad...it tasted weird and stale.

I read the one star reviews to see what people fussed about and was SHOCKED that they complained about the food. We have tried many items at other places similar to theirs and theirs has by far the most flavor and is the most authentic. We don’t even like to go anywhere else because we’re disappointed in the lack of flavor other places . I don’t know how it could be any better! The service is excellent and love the intimacy. Great place for a date night.

The momos (steam chicken dumplings) are so delicious

Way too much garam masala in all our food. The only thing that didnt have garam masala was the plain Naan. Will not be returning here, definitely not Indian and not Nepalese food. Not sure what to call it other than fusion of Korean food.

A wide variety of cuisines and flavors all done to perfection! The staff is incredibly friendly and the service was phenomenal. I will definitely visit again the next time Im in STL.

Absolutely delicious lunch buffet. A mix of Indian, Korean, Nepali dishes. The food is also gluten free for those with allergies. I love the korma and tandoori chicken. One of my favorite lunch spots in Saint Louis. It is also very reasonably priced.

Absolutely loved the food here. One of my new favorite restaurant in town. Highly recommended.

This restaurant never disappoints! They have the best tikka masala I have ever eaten. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the environment is cozy.

The lunch buffet was overall good and very reasonably priced. The servers were nice and tried their best but there was a language barrier so please be patient. Four stars only because of conflicting information (signs everywhere said pay at your table but it was difficult flagging down a server to get your check because the servers stayed at the bar until they walked around to fill water). Overall, good food, good people, and not very expensive. I would recommend this place to others.

I visit Everest Cafe every time Im in town. I try something different each time, and Ive never been disappointed. The pork momo are amazing. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable.

Omgosh BEST FOOD EVER! They make sure that food is fresh. The owners are good people and great customer service and good food takes a while, I dont mind waiting for a good food, so worth it!

Very delicious. Just seemed like everything was made from scratch. Lunch buffet was very well priced. Good options

Best buffet lunch in the entire city and county areas. Not the biggest. I had no idea I loved Napal food so much. Just unbelievable. Take someone you want to impress.

Everest is one of my favorite restaurants in St. Louis. For just $12 at lunch, they have an all you can eat buffet. The food is freshly made and delicious. The bulgogki beef and chicken korma are great. Plenty of vegetarian options too. Go support this incredible spot in the Grove!

I cannot recommend this place enough! Anyone from out of town I try and take them to the daytime buffet and let them try this delicious Nepalese cuisine. They usually have a little setup out front for Grove fest and the staff is truly wonderful and kind. I love their sweet potato noodles and they have fantastic vegetarian options. They offer takeout, just be courteous when placing your order and give them time, they make this with love thats gotta be what makes it taste so good!

My favorite restaurant of all time! Delicious food

Delicious food! The owner/chefs story is really interesting and inspiring as well.

This place is consistently amazing! I always go with a group so that we can share different dishes. The Korma continues to be my favorite but the other menu items each hold their own. So good!

Love this place!! The miso soup is awesome. The interior is cozy and cute. Hit it up!!

My husband and I had lunch here last week with some friends who were home for the holidays. Ive never been to a restaurant with this kind of range of cuisine, but as soon as someone says Indian Im interested!We went on a Wednesday afternoon around 12:30p. One person was lucky enough to get a meter right out in front, someone found a spot about a block away and I parked about three blocks away. It was obviously quite busy, so I guess it just comes down to luck! But we only had about a five minute wait to be seated which I thought was great considering how crowded they were!After putting our things down on our table, we hurried off to the buffet line to see what our options would be. I have to say that I am not a huge fan of vegan food, so I was skeptical of the couple options I saw on the buffet. However, I decided to give it a try just in case. Boy am I glad I did! One was a curried zucchini that was absolutely fantastic! It had one of the creamiest, yummiest sauces I think Ive ever tasted!! It tasted great with the sweet potato noodles, too!My other favorite dish was the curried chicken. Because you cant go wrong with more curry or with chicken!I quite enjoyed this little buffet and I will definitely return!

Ive always ordered from Everest and had it delivered but this time I picked it up myself. The place is a little small but it has a cozy home feeling to it. The wait staff was very friendly and as usual my food was great! I cant speak too much about the actual dine-in experience because I always order take-out but the food has always been wonderful.

With the presence of the Dali Lama and the good works of the folks associated with this establishment on display with authentic Himalayan culture, each of three businessmen found dishes to our liking (loving) that we could share. The Indian veggie platter was amazing!. Nan was so good. Nan better, perhaps?

The food here is phenomenal. Excellent vegetarian options. Lunch buffet is always delicious and quick. Dinners are even better, and the happy hour is pretty good too. Weve been coming for years, its a regular destination for us!

Great little bar with outstanding food. On the trendy side but approachable and relaxed atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and engaging. Great place to hang out.

Id been wanting to try this place ever since I scouted before my business travels to St Louis. Finally got in there today and it did not disappoint! They have a fantastic lunch buffet with tons of vegetarian and carnivorous options. Everything I tried was tasty and full flavored. There was some spiciness too which is rare in a buffet, but much appreciated. Ill definitely come back here. Best Nepali/Indian buffet Ive ever been to!

Best food Ive ever tasted. The owners story is beautiful, all about health and wellness through the food we eat. Amazing quality for a low price. The staff is kind and works efficiently. MUST try!

My friend and I went for the weekend buffet. Between the two of us, we probably tried everything. Its a small buffet, but very delicious. My friend and I liked everything we tasted. The buffet seemed clean and the customers were a mature crowd while I was there. So, everyone was considerate about trying to be clean while handling the serving spoons, etc. I would definitely go back.

We called to place a take out order and was quoted 40-45mins (which the guy did not tell me until after my order was placed and payment was provided) for pick up. We arrived around that timeframe and was told it would be another 10-15mins as they were running behind. Following the 10-15mins, we were told another 10-15mins. We informed the guy on the phone that we had a newborn in the car and needed a realistic time, again he kept giving us false info on the status of our order. This continued on until we were waiting for over 1.5 hours! Once we finally got our order, there was no offer to partially comp our meals. This made us feel that the business was greedy and more interested in making money than pleasing customers. Overall, it was a very frustrating situation and as someone who has been going to Everest Cafe for years, we will no longer be returning customers. Also to add to this, we got home to find that the Chap Chae was cooked wrong and the chicken korma was mediocre.

Fantastic place. I tried the appetizer sampler and loved everything. I also had a Nepalese lamb dish that was fantastic and full of lamb chunks. The food is great as is the atmosphere. The owner uses the profits for a great cause. I hear the lunch buffet is fantastic and seven days a week.

Everest Cafe is absolutely the best in quality flavorful cuisine from Nepal, India, and Korea!! We have been going here for over 10 years now, and the food, service, and location have only gotten better!We love taking guest from all over the country! Highly recommend for small to large crowds. This family owned restaurant shows their commitment through the flavors in their amazing dishes. Wide variety makes it easy when entertaining or just solo.

Some of the dishes are a bit more bland than what you might be expecting. Delicious all the same. The buffets odd mix of Korean and Indian is quirky and unique. This is definitely a place to try twice.

Great lunch buffet and everything tasted pretty authentic considering this is the Midwest. The best part was nothing tasted too oily and salty unlike most of the other Indian restaurants here.

This was a lovely dining experience for my colleagues and I! The service was fast and friendly, the space was clean, and the food was delicious. This cozy place is a hidden gem that I will certainly be returning to with friends and family.

My family and I absolutely adore this restaurant! Great food for a wonderful cause (the profits go to support health initiatives in Nepal). The Momos, paneer tikka masala, and chicken korma are absolutely stunning. Their lunch buffet is also an amazing deal with a diverse array of food options. Everest Cafe is one of the best restaurants in St. Louis— would highly recommend!

One of my favorite go-to Asian/Middle Eastern restaurants in town.

Good and has been consistently good over the years. Nice food, atmosphere and great service.

The food here is fantastic. Great place to try something new. Not many places in St. Louis have Korean and/or Nepalese cuisine. I was very impressed with their goal to serve healthy food as well. Some of the best Indian food Ive had since moving back from England. Definately will be back.

I absolutely love the lunch buffet. It offers a wide array of flavors for a fair lunch price (about $10). Its a small place though and can feel cramped. If youre looking for something intimate, it might not be the best because the tables are positioned so closely together. But if that doesnt bother you, the food will knock your socks off. Plus, the owner has a really cool story and I like patronizing his business.

We stopped by on a little mini-vacation - four different dishes and an appetizer sampler for four people, and it was all wonderful! Delightful vibe, friendly and kind staff, and a worthwhile mission to support health here and abroad, through a non-profit medial mission run by the owners to improve the health status or children, women, and their families who are poor suffering in rural areas of Nepal. A lovely place Id love to visit again!

Hands down the best lunch spot in St. Louis! I cannot describe the delicious flavors that jump off the plate and into your soul. Their vegetarian options are plenty, and their chicken curry options are wonderful too. Nothing is ever overdone, undercooked or tasteless. The flavors are a beautiful mixture of both Chinese, Korean, Indian and North African. The hinting of these flavors make the Everest Cafe Nepalese food truly holy.

The Nepalese food is LEGIT, can be nice and salty. Yum. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. Definitely go for the buffet which offers a generous selection. Great atmosphere and family owned complete with origin stories and all. Lots of proud pictures and articles here. I recommend it to everyone.

This was my second time at Everest, and I was almost as pleased this time as I was the first. I tried a new-to-me menu item that I enjoyed, but on my next visit, Ill return to the lamb I so very much loved. Happy Hour specials are a plus.

Visited on Sun afternoon. Really nice buffet of Indian & Korean foods. Some vegetarian, some chicken. They also have desserts, and a bar. I didnt get to checkout the bar, but my friend got me an apricot drink (Indian thing). Im hooked. Awesome place. Nice people!

I took my wife here for a lunch date. We had the lunch buffet and the food was all fantastic! They had good options and everything tasted fresh and wholesome. Would love to stop by again next time Im in the area

Decent fusion of Korean and Nepalese food. I prefer the buffet to the menu though.

Tasty Nepali and Korean food. I loved my meal.

My spouse and my favorite Indian restaurant in the area... We come here nearly every weekend for the buffet. Great selection of food, service, and atmosphere. Also appreciate the owners dietetic and philanthropist focus

Cool atmosphere and attentive service. Overall a nice place for a reasonably priced date nite

Have been here at least 30 times over the past several years. Love the food and people here. Super clean-healthy menu and always have great service. Fantastic.

They have great food and solid takeout. If you have time to go in and sit down, the owners are very nice and the food is delicious fresh.

Reasonable price, great selection, good service, and great tasting food. To be honest I have no idea what is different between Nepalese cuisine and Indian cuisine (in fact Id count this as Indian), but it tastes really good, so Im totally eating here again and telling others to give it a shot. The Chicken Korma is so yummy.

Have only made the lunch buffet, but well worth the $10. Plenty of selections, lots of vegetarian options, all healthy, and all delicious. Cant wait to go back again.

Absolutely a great change of pace.Loved the buffet

Momos here are so delicious!

Great place for Nepali and Tibetan food. If you are looking for typical Indian spicy food this is NOT the right place. Staff is courteous and ambience is nice.

I love their food so their lunch buffet is an amazing value.

I dont know why this place is highly rated. Buffet price is lower compared to other. If you look for Indian food, there should be other good hotels around. Please learn to cook biriyani. Not all brown colored rice with some veggies are biriyani.

We went for the lunch buffet and I was absolutely blown away. The flavors were all so good and the food was incredibly filling, and it wasnt that expensive, either. This was my first time trying Indian cuisine, and I couldnt have picked a better place. Especially vegetarian and vegan friendly, which isnt surprising.

Good food, Indian/Korean buffet, very friendly service.

Excellent food, one of the only places my wife will eat Indian food. I enjoy the story behind the restaurant and the service is always very good. I plan on returning to here as often as I can.

I picked this place at random and Im glad I did. The owners have very inspiring stories!The lunch buffet had about 15 items. Its all about the sauces and spices with this cuisine. I grabbed one of everything and was sure to grab a some nan. If youve never had the food from Napal or India, this is a great place to try out.

Good service and EXCELLENT chick pea salad!

Amazing food and excellent service, totally reasonable prices and great portions. Plenty of gluten-feee and vegetarian/ vegan options too! Top it off with the owners commitment to public health here and abroad- I love it. This place rocks.

So many different types of chicken with delicious sauces. If you are considering this place just ask yourself, Do I like food and happiness? If the answer is yes than you should go here.

Great Korean food! I loved the Himalayan dish I had and they were very accommodating when I asked if they could make my dish vegan. We like to stop here when we visit IKEA. Highly recommend giving this place a shot if you like Asian food.

So delicious and homey. You can choose from a large selection and the menu is interesting to read the owners story.

Great food and good service. The place is small though so prepare to wait if you go on weekend.
