The Mount Everest Restaurant — Restaurant in Stratford-on-Avon

Date of visit: 15/9/22

First, it always worries me when I've placed the order and then to be told it will be 10 to 15 minutes.

Second, this must be up there with the worse curries ever eaten. I've seen fab reviews on another review site and bad ones too, so I don't know what others have been eating. All the curries were in a watery sauce, with little flavour. The rum rum chicken was shown as being hot yet was very bland. Temperature wise it was lukewarm.

None of the curries were enjoyable and the chicken pieces were small and overcooked, particularly very hard and difficult to chew.

The directions to the place and car park at the rear were good, and it isn't maintained as they outline. Interior decor is very good.

The oddity is the pricing, see below. Clearly the menu on their site hasn't been updated.

They added 3 poppadoms in the bag with a small pot of raita. I presume that that was free. I certainly didn't order.

I shall not return, and I cannot recommend. The place had been highly recommended by my son's boss.

I just wish I'd taken pictures of the...

Arrived at around 6:15 for our order to not be taken until around 6:40. It then took around 30-45 minutes for the starts to come out in a not too busy resutraunr (around 6 tables with 1 or 2 being big parties).

Whilst waiting I noticed a lot of scuffy looking people walking in and out of the kitchen, 90% of them having long hair and not tied back (bet you can guess where this is going)

The food was OK but very bland. And mostly tasted the same. I then found a hair in my food to met with "oh ok" from the waiter and then walking off.

Upon another 20 minute wait from the table being clearer we finally got the attention of a waiter to request the billl. Upon the bills arrival we were met woth "the card machine is playing up, but there is a cash point down the road". To our surprise there was nothing wrong with the card machine and they were clearly trying to avoid paying tax. Furthermore, there was no consequence to the hair in the food (no discount or even an apology).

Great service and very reasonably priced.

This is a Nepalese restaurant. It’s light, the decor is modern and bright, it’s spacious (unlike some cramped curry houses) and the staff are friendly. We arrived early at 6pm and greeted by a female staff member who informed us they will soon be serving cocktails in the restaurant. All staff members were courteous and concerned with ensuring we were enjoying our time there. We were served promptly. Started with poppadoms and chutneys; rahita, mango chutney and onions. Would be nice to have a lime pickle in there. I had the chicken balti, but my other family had chicken bhoona and chicken shashlik. Food was hot and good portion sizes. Not too big or small and we had enough for a doggy bag! The food was very reasonably priced. Three meals and three drinks came to £45.

By the time we left (7:30) the restaurant was busy.

Really enjoyed our food there and...
