RESTAURANT REVIEW:

The Everest Cafe is located at 1916 Washington Avenue in St. Louis. It is St. Louis' only restaurant serving Nepali dishes. So if you wish to experience those tastes, this is the place.

I didn't expect a lot from the location and exterior. But, upon entry, one notices the white tablecloths (glass covered), linen napkins, wine glasses, and Nepali decor. There was an ever-constant but peacefully quiet sound of Nepali music adding to the effect of being in Nepal.

As for the food, there were both vegetarian and non-vegetarian sections to the menu. Our family enjoyed both types of meals. I personally ordered a meal that was a sampler of many dishes including lamb. It was very good and at $12.00 it was the highest priced meal on the menu. Many dishes were around $8.00.

Our server was very gracious and explained in detail what was in each dish as well as the background of the restaurant.

So if you have never experienced Nepali food, here is your chance. A very pleasant change of pace and fragrances. Drop on by.
