Everest On Grand

Disclaimer: (this review is only for one dish)My family and I recently dined in at a restaurant and ordered their Nepali Thukpa which is one of the popular dishes besides momos. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the dish. Being Nepali ourselves, we had high expectations, but the dish was not up to the mark. Firstly, the noodles served were thinner than they should have been. Secondly, there were too many unnecessary veggies which made the dish unappetizing. Lastly, the soup had an excessive amount of red chili powder that made it too spicy for our taste. The soup should have been semi-clear but instead, it was thick and red. However, the owner was very understanding and nice about our feedback. We did not have to pay for the meal as it was not up to our expectations.

Authentic Nepalese food in the Twin Cities. The reason for the average rating is the price point. The location is great, the service is friendly, the atmosphere great. The food was good, but needed seasoning if you 're not able to eat spicy things.Personally, I have a very common stomach (60% of Americans) esophagus (20% of Americans) situation that has been ignored by the food industry during the ADD A LITTLE KICK revolution in the American dining scene over the past few years. The failure of food professionals to deal with this hee yooge percentage of their client base astonishes me.Everest on Grand has stepped above the crowd by offering mild versions of most of its menu items. This is wonderful. Unfortunately, though, they haven 't met the other part of this industry wide challenge, which is the requirement to make mild food flavorful, as well as less fiery. I say requirement because I 'm talking about a unique restaraunt in a prime location in a major city. When each dinner entry costs between $17 $23, and your appetizers are $9 $10, missing that point is not really so great.Point of note: the line menu isn 't the same as the on site menu, but they do still offer what 's in the online version. I do recommend this restaraunt overall just maybe try it for lunch instead of dinner.

Everest on Grand is a delicious experience! Their food is fragrant, tasty, and sensational! I have been eating here for 25 years and it's always great. Kid friendly, vegan and vegetarian options. And their classic yak momo's are worth driving for. I really can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: There are plenty of gf and df options.Kid-friendliness: The owners welcome children.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide doorways and well spaced tables.

My wife and I love Indian food, so this Nepali restaurant seemed like it would fit the bill (we had looked up the menu online just to be safe.We arrived near to close, maybe 1 hour and 15 minutes before they closed up shop, but we still received quite excellent service. I strongly got the feeling that this is family owned and run business, which easily kicked it up a notch in my experience and it was only confirmed when our food arrived.I started with a Taj Mahal Premium lager, imported from India I quite enjoyed it, and wish I had ordered the larger size bottle (I don 't normally drink much of anything, particuarly beer, but this was shockingly good , whereas my wife Elizabeth ordered a mango lassi (think like, a yogurt milkshake since we both ordered the same dish, in the end Palak Paneer; however I ordered mine to be of medium spiciness, Liz asked for as spicy as you can make it. ...,my wife REALLY likes spicy food.>In the picture I will include with this upload, you will be able to tell which is hers it is the one that is significantly darker orange than the other, far more delicious medium spiciness......oh, of course I am being facetious! To each their own and she doesn 't take issue with my vegetarianism, so why would it bother me that she wants to butn her tongue off with flavors.We both were enjoying our food extensively when our server came to check on us, and I asked him why the Palak was mostly orange when nerly every other Palak or Saag dishes had been 98% green. The server explained that the process they used was to blanch, blend, and then cook roma tomatoes, mixing most of the spices at that level, and then adding the blanched and shredded spinach (using nearly the same amount of spinach as they would 've had to use without this method and that the spices along with the acidity from the tomatoes allowed magnification of the details of the dish, sweetness and umami that were otherwise lost in such a spice heavy dish.We went home happy, with intent to patronize again (maybe even a place to take our parents soon! , and our leftovers didn 't even last 12 hours in the refrigerator.TL;DR everything was great, the slight bit higher prices WELL made to be worth the date night because of the quality, service, atmosphere and *EXTREMELY* flexible and diverse menu. Speaking from the perspective of a lifelong vegetarian, seeing so many main options on the regular menu is so, so heartening and vindicating....And in no way are the veggie options worse they were the STARS of the menu.

Very subpar food and service. We ordered three dishes all of which were overcooked to the point of burnt. so was the bread. We felt the food was way overpriced compared to the quality of it.I hope others have a better experience. But we won’t be back
