Everest Himalayan Cuisine, Encinitas, Downtown 101 Highway CA

"Always amazing. NOT to be confused with the other Everest Himalayan across town (which I avoid after a bad experience.) The staff here are just-the-right-amount of friendly and personable and the food is always excellent."

"My coworker took me here because he really liked this place. We got 2 beers each, Taj Mahal. Then got some Vegetable Pakora (Onion, spinach, cabbage, cooked with Himalayan spices and herbs. Served with mint chutney), Malai Kofta (Mashed homemade cheese potatoes, nuts and spices combined together to make balls made of kofta and then cooked with specially prepared sauce of nuts, cream, tomato, and onion with Himalayan herbs and spices), garlic herbal naan (Naan with fenugreek, oregano and other Himalayan spices), garlic cilantro naan (Traditionally baked bread with garlic and cilantro). Amazing food and crushed it all!"

"Tried this place thinking it was related to an Everest restruant in Milpitas, was not, but the food was delicious. Had two lunch specials, was plenty."

"Incredible flavors. 10 out of 10 all around. From the soft, aromatic Basmati rice to the perfectly balanced sauce. Burst of herbal flavor within a creamy blended savory sauce that contained a tiny bit of sweet and a wonderful kick of chili. A lot of their dishes are made with premium chicken including what I ordered, Chicken Tikka Masala, spice level 5 ( #31 on the menu). My friend ordered Chicken Tikka #51 ) and was wowed by the juicy, flavorful chicken and veggies. They bring you water right away and treat you with such sincerity. The place was very clean. So was the restroom. The host was genuinely friendly and so was our waiter. The vibe in there was outstanding. With so many entrees and dishes to choose from, we really can’t wait to revisit and enjoy their exquisite flavors."

"Authentically awesome. A very good restaurant that has all the right ingredients. We were met by the owner who was very personable and friendly and clearly has a passion for good food. We felt relaxed and welcomed, and as for the food, it was very good indeed. The lunch specials were really sensible in price and size. The food was really good, great flavours that were rich and diverse. Will be back for sure."
