Mt. Everest India's Cuisine — Restaurant in Las Vegas

Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to eat some Chicken Momos. Let's go crazy. Let's go nuts. Oh man what an appetizer but there is much more to talk about when I visited Mt. Everest India's Cuisine on west Sahara. Actually the first time I had a taste of this place was when my managers at work brought food from Everest for me and my coworkers. So this review will be two for the price of one...or something like that.

The first time I ordered some Chicken Biryani and Chicken Momos. The food came hot to our workplace which is about 15 minutes away from the restaurant. The dishes that already contain hot and spicy ingredients will arrive as is unless you make the call for it to be less or more spicy. But just a heads up this place does not play around when it comes to the spices and even with my heat tolerance I can tell some dishes will pack a punch. Especially if you are not used to eating spicy food. The Chicken Biryani was delicious with its spicy Jasmine rice and tender chicken. You can taste the ingredients with every bite but it's not overwhelming.

But then my world was rocked when I took my first bite of the Chicken Momo. I sat at my workplace table expecting some Chinese clone of a steamed dumpling. Oh no way Jose this was something different. The soft shiny dough wrapping the chicken was slightly thick yet chewy, but it's a texture I absolutely enjoyed. The chicken minced with the veggies inside each dumpling was extraordinarily delicious. It was less salty than it's Chinese counterpart and the flavor had the consistency of a chicken meatball packed with herbs and spices. I've never had such good quality dumplings like these and this comes from someone who enjoys dim sums, gyozas, and other chicken dumplings from all over Las Vegas. These are by far my favorite steamed chicken dumplings and easily a top ten appetizer on my humble list.

The second time with Everest was when I finally visited the restaurant and I must say it's a hole in the wall. Not the prettiest location with some small litter on the floor and a lively group of people from all walks of life. Despite all that I reordered the Chicken Momos and this time the Tibetan style noodles with chicken joined the Momos as a partner in crime. They also handed me some Papadom crackers with tamarind and mint cilantro sauce for dipping. Yummy! My Chicken Momos came with an orange sauce which I believe was some kind of peanut sauce but I dipped some Momos in the tamarind sauce and thought it tasted better. But that's just me!

The Tibetan style noodles were fantastic and again like the Momos I expected some Chinese chow mein clone. Nope! They had a distinct flavor with its veggies and amazing chicken. Although I wish it did have a bit more chicken pieces. I didn't want to mess around with the spicy heat level this time so I went with the mild version. I have no regrets and I know next time to go for the mid level spiciness. The noodles were yellow and had a nice texture to them. The peas in particular were awesome and I just wonder how a small vegetable like the pea can be cooked so well with such flavors. My plate was spotless when I finished it all.

Overall it was a good experience and I admit I am barely scratching the surface when it comes to food from India or Tibet in this case. I heard the curry dishes at Everest are excellent so next time I'll try some. When you have a chance go and visit this place and party like it's 1999 with...

It's been a minute since I last tried a new Indian restaurant, and of course recently, I've been wanting to have that Indian-spiced cuisine (and of course some Naan). My wife and I did a Google search of nearby restaurants from our residence because I didn't feel like driving too far since it was getting late. We found this restaurant and opted to give it a try on 16 Jan 2025, based on the reviews and since we've never tried it before.

When we walked in, the restaurant wasn't busy at all which is always a good thing especially when you arrive hungry. As a result, we were seated right away and received the traditional Papadom and water to start. Our order was taken immediately since we kind of knew what we wanted ahead of time because this obviously wasn't our first time at an Indian restaurant. We ordered the Lamb Samosa and Mixed Appetizer (Vegetable Samosa, Vegetable Pakora, Seekh Kabab, Chicken Tikka) for our appetizers; and Chicken Vindaloo, Lamb Saag, Plain Naan, and Garlic Chili Naan for our main entrées and sides, respectively. Everything was flavorful; tasted fresh, and authentic. I will say that I've had better quality Naan bread at other restaurants but this one wasn't horrible by any means. The plain Naan was good - the crispiness, along with the butter flavor made me want to snack on it all night long. Though, I wished the Garlic Chili Naan was a lot spicier.

The service was unparalleled. It was just one guy taking everyone's order and serving them which speaks millions of his superb workmanship, regardless if there were minimal customers at that time. The restaurant's décor was nice - I've been to ones that had slightly better décor and atmosphere, but this one was still adequate. I can't say that I've been a fan of the area this restaurant is in, but it is located in a well-lit area, by a busy intersection.

Overall, I enjoyed my first experience here; between the food quality and service, it was definitely worth the visit. The prices were very reasonable and I appreciate this business for their support to the men and women of the Armed Forces (including its Veterans) - thank you for that! I also noticed that this restaurant has a buffet which I am interested in so I might be there again sometime soon to experience it. I highly recommend this restaurant...
