Everest Golden Moon Restaurant

"We came to check out this place. We were helped by Mary. She was very awesome and provided us great service. Her boss/owner was chewing her up in the kitchen because he wants her to do a million things at once, we felt very bad for her. As far as the food, it was very tasteful. We had better but this is the only one in town so this will justify the cravings. We would definitely recommend others to come check out this small business."

"My husband and I had lunch here today at the recommendation of one of his coworkers, and it was definitely the right decision. He started out with a drink called a mango Lassi it was perfectly sweet and flavorful. It was described to us by the waiter as a mango yogurt type smoothy, and that was a rather accurate description, just not as thick as a smoothy. Then we ordered chicken mo mo as an appetizer, which were small chicken dumplings that came with a chilled curry type sauce for dipping, and it was a perfect pairing flavor wise. For our entrees he ordered the butter chicken (on the menu as chicken makhani) which is something he has been wanting to try and ordered a spice level hot (he likes spicy my tummy does not) and i can even say it was delicious it had a kick too it but even with that the flavor was still good the slight sweetness in the sauce was there and not overpowered by the chili or heat of the spicy. He accompanied his meal with the chili Naan which theirs is very thin with a slight crisp or "char" to it but still pliable to use for scooping up the delicious sauce in the food and the chili wasn't too much but definitely some spice. I ordered the chicken coconut at a mild level, most of their sauces contain a tomato base, which I wasn't feeling this day, and I will say this combo was perfect. The balance between the seasoning , the coconut milk, and the tomato base was delicious. Not one flavor shone through and overpowered the other they all worked together to form a wonderful dish. Even my husband whom hates coconut, tried it and liked it. With my chicken, I opted for the garlic Naan which was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The ambiance inside, I'm guessing, resembles the previously named establishment since it is still very oriental restaurant themed but at the same time does not feel old or run down. It has been well maintained and clean and gives a rather peaceful and serene experience. The staff was very attentive, helpful, and polite. We informed our server that we had not had Indian food before, so not sure of what the dishes were, and he was very knowledgeable and patient with giving information and making good recommendations. As we were dining, we were regularly checked on, and even I think it was the owner was making his rounds in the dining area being very personable. As far as price when we were ordering I think we were slightly concerned about the price but after ordering another meal to go and seeing the bill we realized we spent less for 3 people than we would normally for the 2 of us at a sit down restaurant and he was full ( which is a big deal he is a hearty man at 6'5 and some pounds) and I had leftovers enough to take home for another full meal. We will definitely be adding this to our lists of places to go when we go out and to recommend to others!!"

"Me and my friend went and tried this restaurant for the first time today and we were BEYOND satisfied! Upon entering, we were very surprised to find out that we were the only customers there on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was very clean and tidy and we were seated immediately. Our waitress was kind and attentive and took the time to explain items from the menu and even ask the chef questions. The chef was kind enough to make accommodations to our order that weren’t on the menu and during our meal came out to speak to us personally. He said he’s been cooking for 25 years and was so kind and appreciative of our comments! As for the food, everything from the menu that we tried was amazing. Between the two of us, we tried the vegetable samosas, butter chicken, lamb and chicken tikka masala, garlic and chili naan, and mango lassi. Every single item was packed full of flavor and thoughtfully presented. It very excited to finally have Indian cuisine in our town! Please give this small business a try if you’re looking to try something new!"

"Exceptionally good food that make you compliment the chef. Indian and Nepali food finally in Hemet. Cant wait to get back. We had chicken tika masala, garlic naan, chicken momo, chicken chilly, samosa and all were extremely flavorful."

"If you like Indian food, you absolutely have to come here! Finally there is a place I can recommend to people who ask if there is any good restaurants in Hemet. This is a high end eatery hole in the wall! This place rivals "India's flavor" in Montrose near Glendale. I can't wait to share this place with family and friends. If you're vegetarian (vegan options), do yourself a favor and come here. If you have never tried Indian food, your missing out my friend. And if you decide to come and check it out, you're welcome!"
