Cafe Everest — Restaurant in Cleveland

Avoid this place for your own health and safety! On our recent takeout order, we found a sharp metal wire in our food. The wire was small enough to be swallowed, and the tips were sharp enough to cause damage. It resembled a bristle from one of those metal grill brushes with burnt food baked on it. If you do a Google search on swallowing metal wires, you will find that it is very dangerous and potentially fatal. I searched the remaining food for additional metal wires and threw everything in the garbage. For the next couple of days, I was very anxious that I had accidentally swallowed a metal wire and would have to go to the ER for surgery.

Additionally, I called to inform them about the wire and asked for the owner. An employee picked up the phone and claimed to be the owner until I asked for their name to confirm their ownership. They refused to give their name and denied being the owner. When I asked when I could speak with the owner, the employee instructed me to call back on Tuesdays. However, when I initially called on a Tuesday, nobody answered because they were closed. This employee was being untruthful and subsequently handed the phone to another person. The next person confirmed their use of wire and apologized.

Regarding the pictures I'm including in this review, the wire was initially straight, and I bent it to see what material it was. I later confirmed that it is indeed metal using a magnet.

10/10 would eat again!! My wife and I were greeted with warm welcomes. After being seated we ordered within 5 minutes. The chef who was an individual who was very nice and polite came with some complimentary lentil soup, which was a perfect lentil soup(I know my lentil soup). We choose the chili chicken wings as the appetizer and it honestly in no exaggeration was the best chicken wings I’ve ever had by a long shot the taste was tangy,sweet with the perfect amount of spice. The texture of the wings (deep fried) was so perfect and clean not oily or soggy from being dressed in the chili sauce. For the dinner entrees my wife got the stemmed chicken momos with shrimp chow mein which she says was very pleasant. The quality of the steamed buns was excellent. I got the fried chicken momos with chicken fried rice. These fried momos came in the same sauce as the wings which I didn’t know but I did not regret I joked to the chef the sauce is so good I could eat it on a shoe lol. I’m serious by the way. The fried rice was get and unique which is rare as there are only so many ways to...

Beyond delicious. I am from Toledo, Ohio and have frequented the many similarly targeted restaurants in my city. The dishes at Cafe Everest are above and beyond, for sure. The flavors are complex and deep. The Samosas we're hot, fresh, and delicious. The Momos, omg. Amazing! Not to mention the sauces served with both of these dishes. Outstanding! The entrees, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Chicken Biryani, were killer! So freaking good.

Don't be afraid of the level of heat you can get with your meals. The one thing I would say, was that the heat levels were a little tame. The meals were ordered at medium heat, and honestly, I would have thought the heat was a mild or negligible level. The green chilli sauce that came with the Samosas was so good and spicier than the two entrees.

Overall, fantastic experience inside and out! I will make this a staple for every visit to Cleveland from here on out! Well done.

P.s. - Naan isn't on the menu, but if asked like I did, they will gladly serve you. It was so warm and soft. Everything about it...
