Everest Gurkha Nepalese Restaurant in York

A must visit, for nice authentic food. Simple, very reasonably priced. Lovley staff. Always smiling. The Lamb is absolutely beautiful.

Marvellous experience. I had visited Nepal many years ago as a student, and tasting the Everrst's fried Momos made me feel as if I'd travelled back in time -- they taste authentic and warming. The same went for the mango lassi we each had, which was cool and delicious. Our waiter was a charming guy and we had a great conversation together.

Food and atmosphere services all was outstanding

One of the best Nepalese restaurants in the UK, with an amazing staff offering excellent service—and our wonderful sister with the brightest smile! JAYA NEPAL 🇳🇵🇳🇵

Kosto mitho khanna. Best Nepalese around. Authentic flavours and freshly made food. Friendly and warm atmosphere.

I last visited about 3 years ago, and the food was unbelievable. I came back today and nothing has changed. The food was fantastic, the staff are lovely, I couldn’t fault it at all.

Absolutely blown away, amazing food. Will be recommending to everyone I know who goes to York.

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. We will definitely return when visiting York.

Splendid food, helpful and friendly staff.

Wonderful food friendly helpful staff, it's the first time we have been and can't wait to go again

Believe the hype! Delicious Nepalese food. We loved every single morsel. We had the Lamb Thali, Salmon Thali, Himalayan Lamb, garlic naan, dumpling soup. And dessert, the Carrot Halwa. All exactly the right balance of spices and flavour. All the ingredients were super fresh. We will DEFINITELY come back. Oh and the service was friendly and the prices very reasonable. Less than £100 for 4 very full and satisfied adults :-)

Amazing food. Amazing service. Very friendly staff. The food that they recommended were beautiful. Was reluctant to going at first but best decision made for the day.

First time here , and I was not disappointed , nice friendly people and restaurant , I thought I'd go ' full hog' and try one of the Nepalese specials , lamb with assorted Nepalese ecroutrements , it was outstanding nice , my wife had their take on chicken korma and rice , again excellent, I had a traditional Nepalese beer - nice 😊 , my wife wine , all good and , this being york , not expensive , not far from ' whip ma wot ma gate , abd parliament square, if in york it's worth the visit, opens from 5pm

This restaurant was truly one of the best restaurants we visited in our trip to the UK. The food was superb, the service was good and it had a lovely quaint atmosphere. Loved it.

Amazing food. Service was impeccable. All of my friends thoroughly enjoyed all their food. The spices were beautiful.

“I recently dined at Everest Gurkha, a Nepalese restaurant, and absolutely loved the food! The dumplings and chicken lollipops were the standout dishes—packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. However, the service was a bit of a letdown. We were forgotten for about half an hour, and though we wanted to try a few more dishes, it seemed they were having a busy evening. Despite the service hiccup, the quality of the food definitely makes this place worth a visit. I’ll be back to explore more of their menu!”

My husband and l called in here on the off chance. Friendly service. Never had Nepalese food before. Absolutely loved it. Will definitely return

Great food!!! This is going to be my fav Indian food place in York. Will definitely ho back :)

Really a wonderful place, very good customer service as well as the staffs are very friendly. Foods are amazing, reminds me of home. Would really recommend for anyone around york if you’re craving for some delicious Nepalese food as well as good beers.l and dumplings.

The food quality is tremendous with a conducive environment. Staff are friendly with the customer.

Had a lovely evening meal here recently. The staff were friendly and helped us with our choices. The food was delicious! Great prices for such good quality and generous portions.

Incredible! Chilli MoMos and Himalayan Lamb a highlight! Great food, attentive staff and nice atmosphere!

Good authentic food, but service a bit slow. Small place

Nice authentic food. Good service

It is very hard to please me especially when it comes to food but these guys are the best, from the quality of food to the portion down to the service is superb.. I am vouching 💯% for this restaurant and the food is very affordable.

My boyfriend took me here for a surprise and indeed the I was totally blown away, the food came in time and it the portion was amazing compared to other Nepalese restaurants I have tried around town, I highly recommend this restaurant t everyone both old and new in York

Tourist trap. Not great at all considering the location. The food is below average, the price is ok for what you get but most people here don't come here for service or atmosphere. Won't be returning.

Beautifully cooked food, amazing flavours. Momo and lamb taas to start and Himalayan lamb and chicken sagarmatha for mains. No room for dessert! They offer options for level of spice with obviously more spicy dishes highlighted as such on the menu. Very good value,will be back when we next visit York!

We made a great choice to eat here. The staff were lovely and the service was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our Tahli meals.

Hygienic food and great service, specially I liked chicken chowmin.

The food and service quality was truly exceptional. I can't wait to come back.😇

Everest Gurkha Nepalese Restaurant provides an authentic taste of Nepal in a welcoming ambiance. The warm service and rich, aromatic flavors make it an absolute must for everyone who like Nepali cuisine.

Brilliant curry! Had me a Thali and loved it. Cooked to required spice level and all food was fresh and tasty! Will come back again!

The food are amazing here with great service. If you Want to try unthentic Nepalese cuisine I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Food and service is very good 👍 👌 Thank you so much for the awesome test I love it ..

This food was so tasty I practically licked my plate like a labrador

Lovely place, would definitely recommend

Incredibly tasty food. Staff is very friendly. In the words of Arnie, I’ll be back.

We enjoyed this very much. The relaxed atmosphere with caring and attentive service was topped by some amazing food: chicken tikka curry, garlic naan, and these steamed momos, pictured. The richness of the spices and flavors combined with their great service made this a great meal.

Found this place while searching for something a bit different for tea. Really happy we did. The food, service and staff are amazing. Can't wait to come back and try some more. Prices are really reasonable, worth every penny and more.

Absolutely love the food. Can’t wait to get back

I’ve been to Everest Gurkha several times, and never had an issue. The food is always superb and the service is lovely. Everyone is very passionate about serving good food — which in my opinion, is the best in York! Definitely recommend a visit here.

Our first visit. Warm welcome, with courteous and friendly service throughout our visit. The food was very good, tasty and full of flavours. Very reasonable prices. We hope that we will return soon.

I am editing my review by admitting the fact that it was a miscommunication that was clarified the next day. I would increase 1 star

Had a superb lunch here today, the chicken biriyani was sensational

I ate biryani and it was really nice. Tasted more authentic and spicy.The service was also really nice

Absolutely delicious. Atmosphere is cozy and very Nepalese as far as I would know. Convenient part of York to stop and get a bite. Fair prices and good food, what more could you ask for? I got the recommended set dinner. Would definitely recommend.

We had one of the best meals we've ever had here last night. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were very friendly! We also got to sit on the floor cushions which we loved. Would definitely recommend this place and hope to be back soon!

Adored our experience here. Been craving authentic Nepalese food for a long time, and Everest didn't disappoint. Everything was perfect, and the staff were so lovely - had the best time!

We love Nepalese food and our mains were authentic and delicious. The cheesy roasted potatoes were not authentic but croquettes served with chips which was a let down as everything else was good. Very good value for the mains and the wine. Good friendly service.

Incredibly tasty food and experience. We loved every dish we tried and will definitely be back.

Two different passers-by stopped to recommend eating here while we were perusing the menu outside - and they were right! Really friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere. The food was excellent - another customer recommended the Himalayan Lamb and it was a great choice: beautifully soft with a delicious sauce. The chicken karahi was also excellent. I would definitely call again.

Forgot to review at the time. Excellent food. Very good value, no complaints here.

A little gem of a restaurant with superb service and amazing food! We stumbled upon it looking for a table of 6 and the staff couldn't have been any more accommodating! The chicken tika masala was the best we have ever tasted in our lives. This was our first time experiencing Nepalese cuisine, and we all really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend! Thank you team Everest Gurkha, we will be back next year x

Had a really excellent meal here while visiting York. The palak paneer was delicious as was the chicken karahi. I’ll definitely go back!

Literally shocked how good this was. The staff were lovely also. Interior of restaurant was very cool too.

Highly recommended. Amazing food and friendly staff. The momos were the star on the table!!

Really looked forward to eating here with my wife after seeing the rave reviews. I asked for help either menu regarding level of heat etc. as we hadn’t eaten in a Nepalese restaurant before Food was flavourful some hotter than we liked but overall the experience was good. Staff were pleasant. Got the bill then it went downhill. Hand written in poor English and not clear pricing. I thought they had overcharged us but they assured me that it was correct and their smiling faces convinced me it was. Checking later at the hotel and rounding everything up they had overcharged as we thought. Put it down to experience but be aware.

Located in Foss Gate, Prime location in the centre of York, This Everest Gurkha had served us an Authentic and exotic food. We tasted a real taste of Nepal with Nepalese lager. Our group was satisfied with an hour and half spent on Friday night. I would recommend this restaurant. We tried chow mein, momo both steamed and jhol, Taas and Nepalese lager.

Excellent Thai food cooked fresh and with flavours that pop.

Incredible food. I've been dying to eat momo's again for years and they did not disappoint. Everyone throughly enjoyed their food, staff were kinda and attentive. Absolutely brilliant, will definitely go again.

Some of the best food I've eaten 😋

Delicious food, everyone's meal was excellent.

Had a few curries, all were great, loads of flavour. Plus all was very reasonably priced. Would go back again.

Absolutely amazing.. the staff were friendly and attentive.. the food was delicious and very tasty.. best food I've ever had.. I've never climbed Everest but I would do for your food..

Very tasty food and excellent staff. The lamb and potato curry was delicious!

Beautiful meal with my elderly Mum thank you so much! We had to sit downstairs due to mobility and they were very helpful. Lovely Thali meal

Amazing place. The staff are extremely friendly are took great care to ask about allergies. The Himalayan Lamb was delicious.

A typical Nepalese dish with varieties of item severed by the Nepalese brother wearing typical cultural dress who’s so polite with smiley face which attract us remainding our Nepalese dish I recommend to try chatpate (mixed with veggies noodles Nepali spices ) so yummy ❤️❤️best and affordable restaurant. Thankyou for the brother who served us with cultural dress and Thankyou for all kitchen staff who make food delicious

The food here is good but the culture of restaurant is very bad. I am regular visitor in the restaurant but today I went inside the restaurant and ask to the staff whether I can use the toilet or not because it was emergency... but the staff denied and turned back. I think if I a regular visitor in the restaurants they could allow me the use the toilet when I am not coming as customer. Such pathetic staff service. No doubt food is good but the behaviour of the staff is worse. Thanks to stone bow who allowed me use there toilet when I needed urgently.

Food was fantastic! Never had Nepalese food and I’m a convert now. Great option in York.

Such high quality food tastes just like what I've had when I visited Nepal, the staff are lovely and the prices are very reasonable. Perfect place to go for an excellent dinner with colleagues, friends or significant other.

Great food and really attentive staff. Stumbled upon this place by accident and was pleasantly surprised. Big portions and it was quite busy with locals as well. The restaurant interior does show its age but that’s all good - gives it its charm.

We both had a thali (known as a dustbin lid to us). My wife said "possibly the best curry I have ever had". And we've had a few.

Really lovely food and service! Good value

I have eaten hundreds of curries all over the uk. This one was stand out! The owner was kind and welcoming - making a special dish with no onions for my daughter on a FODMAP diet. The rest of my family- 7 of us got stuck in to a variety of these Nepalese delicacies. 3 of us had the Thali set meal (taste of multiple dishes) 2 Dahls ,a meat dish (mine was spicy succulent slow cooked melting pork belly), a sauce ,some potatoes, a popadom and a chilli to gnaw on if it wasn’t hot enough - which it was. It was truly superb - clean plates all round. And not expensive. Go to this place - these guys are passionate about their craft. Enjoy their hospitality. I would have given 6 stars if I could.

I ate so many dumplings I had to be half carried home, excellent food and service.

Absolutely incredible food and service. We had 2 curries as well as honey chilli chips and mo-mo’s. The flavours were incredible and so authentic. Not sure you could get a better curry in York. You must try here. Service so friendly too - such lovely waiters!

Ace little find I didn’t want to go in but I was persuaded and I’m glad I did,this is without doubt the best spiced food I have ever eaten all the flavours were fantastic, they definitely know how to cook this type of food, Definitely will be going again

The shop owner was so friendly, had a nice little chat. Plenty seats on Tuesday evening. I got the special lamb curry challenge which was very spicy, wouldn’t recommend ordering if you want to enjoy the food without pain (don’t get me wrong, the curry was still good but my ears were hurting from the spices because I underestimated the challenge). The pork momos were superb, I’m so glad there’s no noodles inside, but the taste of the momo soup was a bit weird to me because I’m not used to the mix of spices. Probably will get steamed momos next time. Masala tea was good too, but wasn’t amazing.

Nice little restaurant, good sized portions, great value for money , very friendly staff

So full of flavour very tasty and very friendly staff going the extra mile to explain menu to us properly we got our food 2 takeaway it did not disappoint 10/10 but deserves I higher mark but only goes to 10 definitely will be going again

Nice, down-to-earth restaurant, good choice on menu, lovely food and people. Also Nepalese beer 🙂

friendly and attentive service even on a busy Friday night. Good selection of curries.

Enjoyed a meal here whilst on holiday. Highly recommend the vegetarian thali, flavours were really good as was the selection. Friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Generous portions and delicious food

Food was so amazing and hats off to the chef Mr Anil. Best restaurant in the world.

Hands down, some of the best food I’ve had recently! I’m still dreaming about my meal at EVEREST GURKA. A big thank you to Mr. ANIL our chef for providing outstanding service throughout our meal. Their menu knowledge and attention to detail made for a seamless dining experience.

Top class. Lovely food and dog friendly.

Everything spectacular. The delicious food. I ate, chicken curry with potatoes; The best I have ever eaten and my husband everest lamb tass and he liked it a lot.

Loved it! Really enjoyed trying new food, great service and good value.

Amazing food and atmosphere however the waiter was extremely rude. I was having coconut water as I wasn’t feeling well and while taking the order, the waiter pointed the finger at me and said “Put that down”, in a very rude tone. When we asked, he said “It’s not allowed as per our restaurants policy”. My question is that if it’s not allowed then where was the sign that mentioned the policy in the restaurant?? If customers fail to read the sign, isn’t it the responsibility of the waiter to ask the customers to put down the drink politely and not point the fingers at them? How the customers are treated tells a lot about a restaurant.

Amazing food!! Very flavourful and reasonable too. Definitely a must visit with friendly staff too😋

What a little gem! The food really is amazing, with a great selection of traditional Nepalese cuisine and some more familiar curries. The MoMo soup is delicious. Very highly recommended! 5*

Unexpected delectable dishes! So special! The staff are polite! Highly recommended this to everyone!

The food here is absolutely amazing. Without a doubt the best curry I have ever had (Chicken Tikka) I also tried some of my mums lamb curry which was just as good, tender lamb. The staff were lovely. They also have a Nepalese lager on tap which was nice. It's very pretty inside and has a calming atmosphere.

We had a wonderful meal there tonight. Fantastic service and food.

Loved it here. The curry here has to be the best I have ever had , they really do Nepal proud with this amazing menu. Staff are always so welcoming and helpful such a great environment for a restaurant. The food is also very affordable which is perfect for my family of 5. Would definitely recommend to anyone in York.Thank you.

Without exaggeration, the BEST curry we have ever had. The service is top notch and the bill was very reasonable as well. Highly recommended.
