The Everest

Me and my friends are traveling in Edinburgh and wanted some good Indian food, and this was very close to us. I ordered the #33. Chicken Tiki Masala and it really hit the spot. Great portion size and delicious! The employees were all very kind and helpful as well. In terms of ambiance and environment, we were the only ones in the restaurant and it was quite, but it was a late Sunday night when we ate, so I can’t fault them for that. All in all, if you are looking to eat some great food, I would recommend!

So I ordered from here again. That’s twice in the space of a month. That’s saying something, as I rarely order takeaway, and its hard to pick a favourite in amongst all the many Indian restaurants and takeaways there are in Edinburgh.
This time I went for the Halambu Lamb, as it’s a Nepalese speciality: BBQ’d meat, with lentils and pineapple, for a sweeter flavour. And it lived up to the description. A chana daal type sauce, full of lentils, with a pineapple ring in it, and really nicely cooked lamb. It was definitely distinct and different in flavour to how other Indian takeaways can taste — and it’d be worth ordering again.
I used JustEat both times, and both times it was delivered exactly the time they said, with a 50 minute wait each time (both times prime time, at 7pm on a Friday or Saturday night).
It’s good enough that I’d order again for sure, and probably the Halambu Lamb again!

Nice family-​run place
As fast or slow as you like
Curry was spot on

The Everest is a fantastic, family-​run Nepalese restaurant that isn’t too far from anything it seems, and is right next to the Cameo and King’s Theatre so it has theatre menus and an excellent a la carte dinner menu. It also has lunch deals as well.
We came for dinner tonight and it was amazing. Despite the quiet turnout for this very cold, wintery evening, we had a lovely time because the food was stunning and the service was great as well. We had the chicken momo (dumplings) and ‘special mixed starter’ of excellent, sizzling meats to start. For our mains, we both chose curries and the lamb saag and honey lamb were each perfect, as well as the flaky and rich parata bread. The curries were some of the best I have had in Edinburgh and I was really in heaven when my date let me scrape the last drops of curry out of the dish!
The Everest is a little gem of a find and the prices are reasonable with only 3.95 for many of the starters, 9.95 for many of the mains, and less than £3 for naans. They also have a busy take away and delivery service with a cheaper menu and free deliver within three miles for orders over £15. That works for me and I’ll look forward to delivery and also dining in person here again!

Went here for curry — was lovely and just the right spices.
Services was awesome felt really welcome.
Will def be going back!
