Everest Cuisine — Restaurant in Sharon Township

We were in the area for a Yelp event to make candles, and wanted to have dinner somewhere nearby. I get my haircuts in Worthington (shoutout to Tommy & Jimmy) so I know the area pretty well and have ate at all the dining options nearby, or so I thought. I've seen mentions of Everest Cuisine pop up for awhile now, and majority of the reviews emphasize how amazing the food is. Keep in mind, I've never had Indian, Nepal, or Tibet food so this is my first time. It was DELICIOUS.

We walked in and immediately noticed a long line of people waiting for to-go orders. The people may have gone and went, but the line remained. That immediately told me people REALLY like this place, but good food comes with a wait. Which is fine, and understandable.

As a first timer, I was absolutely clueless what to look for on the menu, what I even liked, and had no idea what to order or how much. I quickly scanned some reviews and recommendations on Yelp, and agreed on starting out with the Everest Platter ($6.99) which consists of samples of their house appetizers (samosa, vegetable pakora, chicken pakora and paneer pakora). Don't expect me to point out which was which, but it was all delicious and unique, so check out the picture! It came with two dipping sauces, try dipping into both!

Reminder that this is my first time, so I'm used to ordering an entree / plate for myself at typical restaurants. With that thought, I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala ($14.99) which is pieces of chicken served in tandoor and blended in light creamy masala sauce and it comes with rice on the side, and my girlfriend ordered the Cmomo Cmomo ($13.99) which is fried chicken momo simmered in tomato & soy sauce and seasoned with bell pepper and shredded onions. We were asked what spice level we wanted all this, and we said Regular (2 on their scale out of 5). I do not like spicy things, but I wanted to try these plates the way they're typically served. The spice level was pretty tolerable. The Tikka Masala didn't feel like any spice was added, but the Cmomo had a kick at first, but it settled down.

I noticed reviewers recommended getting the naan (at least I knew what bread was), so we ordered Everest Bread Basket ($7.99), a combination of plain naan, garlic naan and onion kulcha. Order this WITH your entrees or at the beginning of your meal.

We waited awhile for our plates, which the waiter apologized for due to the large amount of to-go orders, as I mentioned earlier was apparent. We hung in there, and it was worth it. When al of our plates came, I realized we ordered quite a bit. I also realized that this is all meant to be shareable for the table, so that's what ended up we doing. We poured the Tikka Masala over the rice, and we dipped all of the naans into the savory sauce as well. We ate the Cmomo in bites, and dipped the naan in there as well.

By the end, my girlfriend tapped out and was full, but I wasn't raised a quitter and I was here for the full experience and had to try a dessert. I ordered the Ras Malai ($4.99), cheese pastry made in-house served in sweet cream and sprinkled with cold pistachios. This was a really light dessert, bu enough to share. Highly recommend it!

Everything tasted AMAZING, and this was an awesome new experience. My mind was blown by how much I liked Everest Cuisine. My recommendation to new comers such as myself is to not be intimidated by the menu, refer to some reviews and start off with the favorites before you're ready to venture off on your own. I hope you won't be...

I went to this establishment for an Uber Eats delivery that I was picking up. The restaurant was very busy. I waited by the podium to be addressed. There was a party of 5 that were waiting for a table before me. First of all, there was an older, short Nepalese woman that on multiple occasions looked in my direction and completely disregarded me while other people walked into the restaurant and were addressed. This happened for about 3-5 minutes until she decided to walk into the kitchen. Then a taller Nepalese gentleman (who I assumed was either the host or the manager), completely disregarded me as well and 2 other men (who happened to be white [for those of you saying that I'm "playing the race card", please check your privilege at the door because it is not welcome here] and came in after me, one of which who very rudely walked in ahead of me and was at the register) were being served. ONLY THEN did the Nepalese gentleman even address me, at which point I was already very understandably upset. I very angrily said, "Excuse me? Are you gonna help me or are you gonna continue to keep ignoring me like you have been? I came in before both of these gentlemen..." The one that rudely came in and jumped in front of me in line said something under his breath and then sat down (which goes to speak on the disturbing amount of rude and disrespectful people in the city of Columbus, but that is another can of worms). Only then was I able to show my order to the Nepalese gentleman and received it. I walked out without saying goodbye or thank you.

I do not usually respond to social situations with anger, but I have never felt so disregarded walking into an eating establishment in my entire life (and I'm originally from a very racist town in SE Ohio). I would have to recommend against anyone (especially any person of color) ever coming here, unless you want to be treated as if your business doesn't matter and you don't exist. Quite simply, I would rather eat from a Dumpster behind the building as opposed to EVER come to this establishment by choice. I just hope that they don't do this to other PoC that patronage...

Again, this Indian, Tibetan, Nepali amazed hubby and I with their very good dishes. And managed to impress my well-traveled cousin and his wife, K, too!

We started out with the samosas. The pastry was good, but the potato filling was a mite too spicy for me (although, again, I'm a mild person - barely able to eat anything above a 0 or 1 star). I usually like them without accompaniment, so did not try the dipping sauces.

The chicken momo followed, delicious, served with a mild curry sauce, but which were a wee bit too dry on the top. Hubby and I really liked that sauce, but Cousin preferred what I think was tamarind chutney, served with the samosas.

Hubby got chicken palak. Which was some of the best palak I've ever tasted! Fresh tasting with freshly grated spices - and I could taste the spinach!!!

I got enough to share: khasi ko taas (marinated goat, a Nepali dish, was beautifully spiced and served with what seemed to be puffed rice and noodles, which was also nicely spiced and paneer tikka tandoori. (And, yes, there are bones. Gives added flavor.) Absolutely, positively delicious! Just perfect with its green pepper and onion accompaniment. I also got navratan korma for me - and also quite good, although the multiple veggies were a bit overdone.

Cousin K got tandoori shrimp, which looked very good, but which I didn't sample. Also, what looked like veggie biryani. Don't know what Cousin got. But know they were raving about how delicious everything was.

Almost everything came with basmati. I mean, it's basmati, but it was a bit bland. Perhaps not to overshadow the dishes?

Very,...
