"Hard to find a place like this anywhere in NW Wis. Most of the time you can find simple bar food. Not so here. Casual but great food for a dining experience. White linen tablecloths and napkins. Okay wine list. Good service staff. A Che who cares what goes on the table. Justified prices. Worth seeing."

"I love going to Indian restaurants when they label the vegan items! This place does just that!!! Thank you!!! In the menu introduction there is devoted language to vegetarian food- yes! So, though not a veg place, if I want vegan Indian food in Bethesda I will come here. As for the people and the decor- lovely attentive people. The chef came to chat with me a couple times to see if I had questions or concerns and how the food tasted. Nice touch Chef Anil! All my vegan concerns were addressed, which is more than I can actually say for some other area vegetarian establishments that make me feel out of place! It's decor is new and fresh, not heavy or antiquated. While here, I felt that everything was made freshly. Nothing was cold or old in flavor. The mulligatawny soup was a piping hot delicious blended lentil soup that hit the spot to set the tone for the meal. Pakora are usually only mediocre at best, but these were like crispy deep fried battered spinach popcorn! Try it! The samosas had a hearty filling with more depth than most. The curries are good, but they always feel heavy- here though, they do not over salt like some other places. The one thing that didn't agree with my palate was the dosa. I liked that they are all vegan, but I think the one I picked maybe was not the right one, and, well, the dosa part was a bit bland. I also wish there was a vegan spinach entree on the menu, but I believe if I asked, the chef would've made it vegan!!! Overall, as an Indian restaurant with vegan options, it's a great choice. You can be confident that what you order will be vegan. Because it had meat, 4 cow max, but I can't say they're perfect- yet. As a new restaurant, with time, I may return and love the dosas and ask for spinach! Then maybe 4 cows will be met!"

"The large kid acts like an entitled child that has not worked a day in his life. The Chicken Tikka Masala used to be good. Now it's just Chicken with Campbell's tomato soup poured over it. Used to be a good restaurant now no good. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"

"What a disappointment! I was looking for great Indian lunch and based on the ratings here I choose to check their food. I am writing while the food in front of me. The chicken is really bad and from the taste you could tell, it have been cooked a whileago and have been setting for hours. Disgusting ????. Also the Masala is a juicy Masala .. they put so much water in it that itwould be better if they changed the packaging to a bottle instead of a bowl. Even the white plain rice was not cooked well andvery dry !!! If a restaurant can?t even prepare a simple plain bowl of rice how could they prepare Indian food?!! I triedanother Indian restaurant with the same price range as this one yet their food was of way much better quality than this one."

"Really nice restaurant that serves authentic Indian foods. When you first walk in you get the feeling, that you entered a buffet style restaurant. But you soon realize it’s a full serve restaurant. There’s plenty of pictures showing the food, as well as a really good description of the entrees. Tandoori Chicken -marinated chicken cooked in a clay oven Chicken Tikka Masala -chicken cooked in delicious creamy sauce Chicken Tikka- good pieces of chicken and served with mint sauce. Goat Biryani- Traditional Indian dish made with seasoned long-grained rice layered with tender goat cooked in a thick gravy. I love, love, love this rice dish."

"However, the dining experience inside is quite disappointing. It feels like I'm eating in a break room at a workplace, which gives off a rather neglected vibe. If you choose to order for pickup, be prepared to wait—my food has taken as long as 45 minutes, usually around an hour. Even when I ordered on a Wednesday afternoon at around 4 PM, when they weren't busy, it still took that long. The service is... okay. It's not terrible, but the wait times and quality consistency are concerning. I still order from here occasionally, but it's more of a rare treat. The food is good, but they really need more staff, improved service, a complete interior renovation, and faster food preparation times. Ideally, they should aim for an average of 15-25 minutes, but I've seen it take 40-45 minutes during peak times on Fridays and Saturdays. Waiting 45 minutes for one dish as a single diner feels excessive. I've personally experienced waits of over an hour when I've been their only dine-in customer. While I haven't faced the 90-minute to 2-hour wait times mentioned in other reviews, I can see how that might happen for larger takeout orders. I do recommend trying them— the food is definitely tasty—but there are other options nearby. If you have a car, restaurants like Utsav, Godavari, Dhaba Whala, and Kumar's are all within a 15-minute drive, and their takeaway orders generally take no longer than 30-35 minutes, even on busy nights."

"I went to this restaurant after a concert at the Shoreline Amphitheater and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegan options on their menu. The restaurant was bustling with customers, and I was impressed to find out that they are open until 1am. I tried the veggie fried rice, which I would rate an 8/10, as well as the mixed veggie pakora, which I would rate a 9/10. The sauces that came with the pakora were also delicious, earning an 8/10 rating. The tomato soup and naan bread both exceeded my expectations, with perfect 10/10 ratings. Overall, it was a fantastic meal that left me feeling satisfied and nourished. I will definitely be returning next time I attend a concert at Shoreline Amphitheater."

"We recently found out about this restaurant and since then we never miss a chance to eat there. We do not live in the Seattle area but frequently visit Seattle. We time our trips so that we get to Issaquah when the restaurant is open and eat lunch there on our way to and from Seattle. And in addition, we also order food to go. The food is excellent, unbelievably tasty and reminds us so much of Kerala. Service is awesome and the staff are very friendly. Thank you Maurya for the super delicious food."

"This restaurant has been a staple for a long time and still maintains a cozy, family-owned atmosphere. The establishment was very clean, and the service was outstanding. We visited for the lunch buffet, and at just $15 per person, the authentic food is unbeatable. My favorites included the goat curry, palak, paneer tikka masala, and kheer for dessert. There was plenty of parking available in the plaza. I have also been here for dinner, and the freshly prepared food was even better at that time. I highly recommend this place!"

"We arrived about 15 minutes after the restaurant opened, so they were still in the middle of their preparations, but we were seated promptly. My husband and I ordered samosas as an appetizer, along with garlic naan and a main dish each, since it had been a long time since we had enjoyed authentic Indian cuisine. The presentation of the food was stunning, and it came with four different sauces. I wish I could have asked the waitress about each sauce, but she was busy setting up the dining area. The food was absolutely fantastic and kept us satisfied for the rest of the day, even with us taking home quite a bit as leftovers."

"you really need to improve your food quality. I got my breakfast from here and daal was rotten and it smells really bad, and I ordered chapati with the daal. the chapati felt like a ball proves. it was really hard to break and eat, full of flour. yes, at the end I could not have my food. I think they should not waste their hard-earned money on something that is not worthy."

"**Samosa: 4.5 stars** I enjoyed two large samosas with a crispy dough exterior and a flavorful vegetable filling. **Chana Masala: 3.5 stars** The chef prepared this dish with the medium spiciness I requested. The chickpeas and spices were very fresh. **Lamb Saag: 3 stars** My husband found this dish just okay. While the lamb and spinach were cooked well, he felt the ginger and garlic could have been more flavorful. To be fair, he did request no spiciness. **Naan: 4 stars** My husband remarked, "I like the bread." The garlic naan and plain naan were well-baked, although they had a bit too much butter on top. **Mango Lassi: 4.5 stars** This drink had a delightfully sweet flavor."

"The taste is very good but the service is WORST( understatement) and the quantity is average. I went on a dosa night. They force you to eat idli, upma, wada and pongal along with the first dosa (plain dosa only) which I didn't want to eat as I came for dosa night and didn't want to waste as it is food!! And you dont have the option to change or modify the items. This is their trap to fill your stomach after the first serving itself.Then we ordered 2 dosas which came after 20 mins!!! Then we ordered 3 dosas next. The server brought only the dosas without the chutney! I waited for the chutney to arrive which never arrived even after asking multiple times. I waited for 15 20 mins!! Finally, as I was finishing my dosas (WITHOUT THE CHUTNEY), the server brought it and when I told him that I have already finished eating my dosa. He asked me to order another dosa to eat with this chutney which obviously i didn't want to!!When i asked for the check, they charged us 15 usd per person which was not accurate from what they said a week ago. When i told the server that their price was 12.99 usd ,he told that they changed it 2 months ago. Which obviously was not correct as they told me that it is 12.99 usd a week ago!!Next, they have halal sign on the front door. I called them and asked if they have a certificate for halal meat, they said yes. After reaching the restaurant, when i asked about it they did not have it . The receptionist told me that they have it inside and will get it and show it to me which never happened. So, basically I am not sure if they really have it. Why would a restaurant keep their halal certificate inside?They also have items on the menu they dont serve yet so check with them before going there.It doesn't end here!! I also tried ordering online. They close at 1 AM in the night and ran out of mutton biryani at 8 PM!! And replaced it with bone in chicken biryaani without informing/asking me. When I called them to change it to boneless chicken biryaani they said ran ran out of that as well. Then I asked them to change it to fried rice, then they said that the chef is not available. Really? At 8 PM?? When they close at 1 AM!! I mean come on!! When the chicken biryani arrived, the chicken quality was very bad. The meat was all pink on the inside. Looked like the chicken was not fresh at all!!!I lost trust in them and I am not going to return to this restaurant ever again!!!Now, I understood why their rating is so bad online!! The service!! I would have given negative rating if possible!!"

"I recently visited Everest Cuisine to try their dine-in option after being a loyal customer of their tandoori momos for a few years now. As soon as we walked in, we were seated promptly even though the restaurant was full. I was amazed by the variety on their menu, they had a lot of curries that I had never seen before in any other restaurant.We decided to order our favorite tandoori momos, Mango lassi and paneer vindaloo. To our surprise, this was the first time we found a restaurant that served vegetarian vindaloo. Very few restaurants have it, and it was amazing. The server was very sweet, and he helped us with our order.However, the food took longer than we expected, and we had to wait for 35 minutes which was frustrating. Although they did apologize for the delay, it was disappointing. Additionally, the prices at Everest Cuisine were on the higher side compared to other Indian restaurants in the area.To make matters worse, they charged us for lemon, chillies, and onion, which was unusual since no other restaurant we had visited did this. Despite this, the food was delicious, and the service was great.Overall, I would recommend Everest Cuisine to anyone who is willing to splurge on a delicious meal. Just be prepared to wait a little longer than usual and expect some extra charges on your bill."

"I ordered a home delivery from here recently. The food was properly packed. The appetizers was good, tasty and decent quantity for the price. Garlic chicken was tasty but too much of oil and less quantity for the price?. I could extract and throw away, 4 to 5 tablespoons of excess oil that is flooded on top of the curry?. The chicken biriyani was also good and enough quantity for the price. All together everything was okey. Chicken biriyani, boneless: $12.99 Non-veg assorted, appetizer: $9.99 Chicken biriyani, boneless: $12.99"

"Review is not about food but service. It is a post to make people aware of what to expect incase they place order through an app in the restaurant I have been a loyal customer to the place i think for close to 9 years My favorite dish pizza best in the area) I decided to do a take out order through an app. When going to pick the food i changed my mind and wanted to sit and eat as the restaurant was empty and looked calm. But to my surprise i came to know that i cannot order food through an app and decide to eat at the restaurant. I am allowed to order food on the phone as take out and decide to sit am, but not through the app. The reason for such a decision by the restaurant/ business is because they dont make enough money through the app so the customer cannot sit and eat if food ordered through the app At the end of the day i totally agree it is upto the business to decide on their services to customers. I was just disappointed and wanted to share my experience so that fellow customers know what to expect. I wish i knew this before placing the order so that i could have placed order on the phone and would have eaten peacefully at the restaurant or i wish the restaurant was not listed on the app so that the only way was for me to call the restaurant and place order. I love the place for the pizza so i will continue to be a customer but will be cautious and plan better as i know what to expect if i order through the app"

"I strongly advise against dining here unless you are Indian, as it seems that the staff treats Indian patrons much better. Our experience with the service was quite disappointing! To start, we waited an incredible 40 minutes for our drinks to arrive. Although we ordered six meals, only one dish was served initially, and it came without the accompanying rice. After another 30 minutes, three more dishes finally appeared. My mother had ordered goat curry but was mistakenly served lamb curry instead, and we had to wait another 30 minutes for the last two dishes to arrive. By this time, the rest of our group had already finished their meals. We also found ourselves repeatedly requesting more water and ice, which took another 15 minutes to arrive. The food itself was nothing special—mediocre at best. When we received the bill, we discovered that we still hadn’t received the rice for the first dish, despite asking for it multiple times. To make matters worse, when we attempted to pay with a credit card, we were hit with a credit card fee. Additionally, there was an "Administration fee" included on the bill, which turned out to be a hidden gratuity that had already been added. They even had the nerve to include a separate tip section on the bill! This was our first and last visit to this restaurant."

"We really enjoyed this restaurant. As soon as you walk in the spices light up your senses. We met both the owners who are very friendly. As you can see from the picture it has a festive colorful environment. They had some very nice electronic menus to order from that popped up images of all the food items. Their son develop this for e menue. It was nice to find they had lots of vegetarian and vegan options. We had several appetizers of eggplant okra cauliflower and vegetable samosas. In addition we split the Chana masala and dal takda along with basmati rice and tandoori roti wheat bread. I told my wife we need to learn how to do Indian cooking, until then we will be coming back here!"
