Everest Indian Restaurante — Restaurant in Tías

Very busy restaurant and based on the reviews here, seem to be doing something right. Maybe we chose the wrong things but generally a below average Indian culinary experience. People like what they like I guess. We had; Onion bhaji - crispy on the outside, plenty of onion, but pretty tasteless, like no spices had been used. The inside had a very gelatinous, slippery texture. Not overly greasy, but served luke warm. 1 star. Seikh kebab - dark red colour which is never a great sign. Very dense consistency and quite chewy. Felt almost like had been perked up with chorizo. Having eaten seikh kebabs all over the world, I thought these were weird. Not a bad taste, just not really seikh kebabs. These were pre- made and warmed up in a deep fat fryer, but still served luke warm. Would of been better microwaving. 1 star. Butter chicken - this was a disaster in a kadai. It’s basically chicken tikka masala with a knob of butter thrown in at the end (we know this because the butter was sat on top). Thin strips of tandoori chicken, which somehow tasted crispy, were swimming in a bath of bright red creamy sauce. 1 star Karahi Chicken - actually not bad. Medium hot with plenty of chicken, served apna style as it should be. Onions and red peppers had been deep fried and plopped in at the end, but hey ho, tasted ok. 4 stars. Mushroom pilau - pieces of deep fried mushroom mixed in with yellow rice. Staining rice yellow by adding turmeric powder during boiling does not make pilau rice. Look up any recipe for pilau rice, and it involves spices. This was pretty flavourless. 1 star. Plain Naan - light and fluffy with a crisp top, finished with ghee or butter. Top marks to the pastry chef. 5 star. Service was slowish, but that’s ok as they were busy and we weren’t in a rush. Serving food luke warm because you’re busy isn’t ok though. We should have complained really, couldn’t be fussed waiting the time for replacements. Wouldn’t go back, wouldn’t recommend, but we’re in the minority, clearly. I should say also that my partner came here about 8 years ago and said it was the best curry she’d ever tasted. Very...

It seems to be a theme that a lot of PDC restaurants are being awarded 4-5* reviews for very average to poor food. This is the second example of me being inspired to eat somewhere on reviews, only to be badly let down.

The food here was pretty terrible. Papadoms were as expected, and it went downhill from there. Onion Bhajis were lacking flavour, the mixed starter was very poor, with dry sheek kebab and very dry chicken tikka meat.

The main courses were lamb and chicken sizzler style curries and again, both meats were quite poor, especially the chicken which again was very dry and overwhelming with ginger.

The sag aloo side dish was the worst sag aloo I’ve ever seen. The worst dish we encountered. A really sad effort for such a simple dish. Watery, flavourless potatoes and a green mush with no texture or likeness to spinach other than being green. Awful.

Somehow, even the rice lacked flavour. It had none of that typical, fluffy, hum of bald Mari rice. I’ve never had a less flavoursome pilau rice.

Portions were big, but it’s a case of quantity over quality for sure.

Very disappointing and I can only assume the 4-5* reviews are from people who rarely eat Indian food and/or who are in such a state of holiday bliss they think it’s great, when it’s really quite poor indeed.

Since Palace Of India in the old town has gone downhill, our quest for a new, reliable Indian restaurant in the...

This restaurant is one of our favourites. On average during our 10 night stay we tend to eat in her at least 3 or 4 times. Yes the food is that good!

A warm welcome awaits you, greeted by friendly, knowledgeable and kind staff. A great menu that has an exceptionally excellent range of meals that will suit all tastebuds and budgets. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff are more than happy to adapt meals to the complete satisfaction of their customers.

Everything you would expect from a traditional Indian restaurant is there and so much more. The choice of meals available is first rate.

The food is freshly prepared, plentiful and filling. It fuses together the perfect blend of spices to create an outstanding culinary experience. From mild to hot each meal just satisfyingly melts in the mouth.

If you like Indian cuisine (and who doesn’t?) then I highly recommend you make your way to Everest, a genuine jewel in a range of ‘traditional’ steak house and Chinese restaurants that populate the all too popular sea...
