Everest Inn in South Kesteven

it took almost 2 hours from order to receipt. Estimate of arrival time was 8.20 to 8.40. food arrived at 9.20? had phoned to find out where it was, had been told 10 minutes maximum as its already out for delivery. I live 10 minutes walk from them. After 10 minutes it still hadn't arrived. I phoned back and asked for a refund. It then arrived, I didn't get the refund. Food was warm enough. tasty food but for the price I do expect good service, that's part of the experience after all.

First time I’ve used this shop and was very pleased. The order was delivered early and was still very hot. The food tasted good and some nice spices masala flavours. My only very slight criticism was there was too much!! I wanted to finish it but couldn’t. There was still enough to save for tomorrow.

Naan bread was burnt and only 6 chunks of chicken in the korma, more sauce than anything else !

The order was late and you have us Madras instead of Machha Malekhu. Disappointed and over charged

Cold late wrong order made 6 phone calls no reply horrible and disrespectful experience I will NOT be using just eat again nor recommending them

I would appreciate a gesture of goodwill representative of the delay we have to endure

Great food just need to work on delivery and up to date information

This place is lovely. The staff are friendly and helpful, even though they were rushed off their feet. A packed house on a Saturday evening. A good selection of vegetarian options, and very helpful with helping for vegan customer. Free cake for birthday too.

Exceptional cuisine paired with outstanding customer service. Undoubtedly the BEST dining destination in Grantham!

Shame about not receiving the mixed pickle tray, the other dishes were ok and tasty. Maybe would give one more chance in the future.

Really tasty 😋 will definitely order again

Very good food with awesome and friendly service. 👌 we loved it and would recommend everyone to visit.

Delivered far too early and not up to the normal standard of food from here

Having booked a table for 7pm got to restaurant to see it was full then had to stand about till 7.45 was eventually shown to table 20 mins for drinks orders then soon after food order which didn't appear till 9pm . Food was good when it arrived. But clearly they book to many parties in for the restaurants capabilities. Shame.

Excellent service and food quality

Advised 6.45, arrived 7.30 after phone call to restaurant

20 minutes late so far… see why I don’t use this much

I've been using the Everest since they have opened for dining in and takeaway, but last night , first of all we were seated our orders were taken, we got our poppadoms then there was several flies flying around our table and our food , this did persist and we told a waiter of the situation and we did move tables . We continued with our meal , the starters came , but then waiting for the main course !!!!!!! We were waiting over 40 minutes and still no food , we did ask where our food was they said a few minutes , 10 minutes later 1 main and 2 sides came, then 2 mains came out , both of them were incorrect and was not was ordered ,we told them straight away , they said they would sort it out , but left the other dishes in the table, only with my prompting did they take them off the table to keep warm, the correct dishes were then bought out and with the other dishes , the food was ok , not up to the standard of which we've had before At the end of the meal, we only got a sorry for the mistake, nothing about the slow service We'll have to seriously think about eating there again Somewhere that was so good , is now so mediocre

Perfect Ghurkali as always 10 out of 10

Excellent quality, the lamb so tender, and flavoursome

Unfortunately our booking was quite delayed as the table wasn't ready when we arrived. The food also took some time to arrive which I understand it could be due to a big group but clearly nothing was prepared in advance.

Best Nepalese and Indian cuisine in Grantham. Great service and friendly staff.

Pre-ordered, confirmation rec'd from Everest for delivery at 16.55. 17.15 rang the restaurant to find out where my food was. (Had to chase the restaurant on a number of occasions for previous orders) it's always the same answer . Let me check with with the kitchen (fine), but answer on EVERY occasion is ...... The food has left and is the with the driver, should be with you in the next 10 minutes. Which is the length of time to leave the restaurant and get to my house!!! Happens too frequently.

Gorgeous food, so very tasty and such good quality ingredients

I ordered my food in advance to arrive at a specified time and it still came half an hour late. I had to call up to ask what was happening with it and the lady said it was out for delivery but it still didn’t arrive for ages after that. Food came cold and the lamb was dry.

30 mins past longest time quoted. Chased and told it had already left but still took 20 mins

Just takes a while 1 hour delivery but that’s because they’re so busy. Was delivered in the time stated. Luckily we know to order in advance of when we want to eat.

Ordered several times and never had an issue however the food was tasteless and cold on arrival. The sauces were congealed like they dishes had been frozen and shoved in the microwave. Both Naan breads were burnt, hard and overcooked and completely inedible. The popadoms were also burnt in places. A waste of money!

the tikka masala was way too sweet, I'm not keen on coconut and it was way more than I like. ordered egg rice which was nice, the chips are just cheap fries and way over priced. may not order from here again. service was good, just a shame about the sauce being too sweet ruined the whole meal.

I've just had the most amazing meal. Away with work so dining alone and happened upon this place. Looked busy so I thought I'd give it a go. I was absolutely blown away by the meal I had, great depth of flavour and just the right level of spice. I'm now very full as I've eaten far too much. I couldn't bear to leave even a single grain of rice. Try this place out you won't be disappointed!!!

Utterly disgusting binned the takeaway never again

The food here is stunning, but the drinks are very expensive for around this area, £10 for a vodka and lemonade! We spent £75 for a meal for 2.

Lovely, so tasty.. totally recommended 👌

Was recommended this place from a couple of people, so we decided to give it a go. The atmosphere and decor were gorgeous. Has an industrial look that wouldn't be out of place in a chic cocktail bar. Order the pickle tray, which was no standard pickle tray. The grated carrot was a welcome addition l. Had tonrequest a couple more oiclle trays and more poppadoms as they were so delicious. Ordered the momo and was blown away. I always choose dumplings from Japanese or Chinese, so I was curious as to how these would be, but I was not disappointed . My main was cooked to the spice level i had requested, and the portion was generous. I can't wait to return and try something new from the varied menu.

Absolutely stunning and wonderful experience from the atmosphere to the service and of course the food I absolutely loved the starters and the pickle tray. I could have eaten a whole pickle tray to myself. Looking forward to trying more on the menu

Normally amazing however 2 of our dishes were cold, like they had been sat there for a while

Excellent food as always from Everest!

I made an error on ordering and explained to the restaurant, was offered a change of curry but we actually stuck with the original and really enjoyed them. Nice flavour, lovely soft meat too. Thanks so much!

After shopping, late this afternoon, my nose was drawn by the wonderful smell of curry - which I followed. It wasn't Leaf, as I thought; in fact, I didn't discover where it was from. However, walking on, I nearly got past Everest Inn, but was dragged in - my first time there since they extended into next-door. The food was superb: wonderful Mo Mo (gone far to quickly), followed by their version of Lamb Keema with their special Fried Rice. I managed half, but the rest came home with me for later!

First time I have tried them, and it was outstanding, absolutely lovely 10 out of 10

We waited over twenty minutes to collect our order, there is no chicken in our chicken tikka masala, we have no pickle tray for the popadoms, so disappointing

This has to be the best takeaway food for many a mile around. The quality is first class as is the service. The staff are so attentive, polite and helpful. All in all just magnificent.

Although it was late being delivered the food was DELICIOUS Personally the best Indian in Grantham

I regularly get a Indian Curry & Naan bread takeaway 😋

Food ready on time. Generous portions and absolutely delicious.

Order took over 100 minutes to be delivered from order on just eat to delivery , really disappointed in the time it took for quite a small order. Hefty delivery charge from just eat for the privilege too. Food was not great and not hot by the time it arrived. Shame as used to be my favourite Indian Restaurant in Grantham.

Estimated 19.50 - 20.10. Still waiting for it and 20.25.. very disappointed . Can’t comment on quality of food yet but normally excellent from here.

We have loved this restaurant since it opened but have been very disappointed with the last 2 visits. The food is amazing but the service is so slow even though the restaurant was not busy. Had to ask to order and then ask where the starter and main were as the wait was so long. Ended up eating far later than expected which sadly was too late to really enjoy the food. So sad that one of our favourite restaurants has disappointed and not sure that we will return.

Been going to this curry house for 10 years!One of the Best

8 of us dined on Friday evening. The restaurant was packed & yet everything was absolutely great - efficient & friendly service, clean & bright decor & furnishings, and 1 if the best curry meals I've ever eaten. Well done all at Everest Inn.

Food was very poor quality, nowhere near the usual standard, very disappointing

25 minutes late. Food was great when it did arrive.

The only problem with my food was the chips. When they arrived they were cold and the portion was rather small. Other than that it was lovely thank you.

We greatly enjoyed our whole experience at this wonderful restaurant, and you will too!

Sat here at 9pm for an order that i ordered at 7pm for 8.05, we got a notification to say it would be 8.35, rang at 8.40 and they said it would be another 25 mins. They’ve clearly forgotten us…. No offer of a discount or anything. Food will no doubt be good. Customer service terrible.

20 minutes early which meant it had to sit around - because we hadn’t finished bedtime with kids yet.

August 2023 Have dropped my review down from 5 to 3 stars for a couple of reasons. 1. The prices were already quite high, and they have jumped up significantly - but curiously they don't seem to want to advertise this fact as the prices on both their website and in the takeaway menus obtained from the restaurant whilst not dated are all "out of date" and seemingly have been for months(?!). Only the paper in-restaurant sheet menus have the correct pricing. In other words, if you are ordering takeaway and think you have done your sums correctly, think again and be prepared for a shock when it comes to pay. 2. The quality of the food has dropped - certainly for takeaway - most noticeably the side-dishes and accompaniments. As another reviewer had pointed out, the onion bhajis whilst still tasting the same are now wafer thin and you're paying £5.50 for two of them. That's shockingly bad value. The Naan are also not nearly as good as they used to. I had peshauri and it used to be more of a paste-like filling which held together but now it is basically all dried crumbs inside that falls out and goes everywhere. Considering this place has recently knocked-through to expand their premises, I expected better. May try again at some point in the future. Eating in the restaurant might yield better results/expectations.

Food was good but it was noticeably cooler than we’ve previously experienced. I think this was because of the delivery time, which was over 25 minutes from the initial ‘driver is on his way’ notification. I called the restaurant who informed me the food would be with us within 2-3 minutes but in fact it was another 10 minutes past the latest delivery time given that we received it. A bit disappointed.

Certainly not fast food. 1hr and 55minutrs from order to delivery. Food quality acceptable.

Every time I order from Everest inn it is late

Tasty Korma. Loved the clean linen cloths on the tables. Very friendly and efficient staff.

Seemed like a different chef, but not in a bad way. Even more Fresh and delicious.

Excellent food, not your typical Indian - intesting flavours. The garlic naan was the best I've tasted. A gem for foodies. Who'd have believed you could find such a place in Grantham! I'll be back.

I took my wife out for a meal this evening the first time we have been out in a long time, the food was absolutely outstanding, chef Laxman came to say hi to us and made so recommendations, we had a meatball style starter which was packed with flavours and layers, for main the chef be brought us an additional small dish which was out of this world in dept of flavour. The service was great with a smile and fast. The only bit of feedback was the incense that was burning was extremely strong and could be toned down a little. A fantastic evening and will certainly return again. Thank you Everest

Good service even when very busy. Food was very good, although over spicy on some of the main meal dishes which were meant to be mild/mid spicy. The starters were superb.

The food is lovely and I'll be going back again soon

Chicken was chewy. The curry didn’t taste like it should have done. They charge you more using just eat app £10.95 for the curry on the app but if you go it one is £8.95 and the other is £9.95. Won’t be ordering from here again

Not eaten from here for a while, but yet again not disappointed with the great quality of the food, happy to recommend.

Had a delicious curry over a meeting with my boss. Had a real good kick and a delicious flavour too. Lovely friendly staff to. Will deffo come again next time I stay up I'm Lincs.

The food was lovely but it took over an hour to be served it!

Said delivered and continued to be another 45 mins after

Passing by Grantham on our way south we came to Everest by chance. Staff charming and delightful - food memorable, delicately flavoured & delicious.

After reading the reviews we decided to try this place out, there was four staff working in the restaurant area, and only 14 guests in the restaurant. We waited over an hour for the starter. As you can see from the photos when the food arrived it was great. We were just really disappointed with the lack of service we received.

Ordered a take away for collection. Very efficient and friendly service. Food was ok, but I had a couple of issues. I paid £5.50 for onion Bhaji and they were pretty rubbish (see photo) no salad or dressing. We asked for pickles with our popadoms and were given very small portions. Not even enough for two popadoms. we purchased 6 but ended up with 10. The side dishes and main course were good. It just missed the mark for me.

I ordered chips. They were awful. I think they were old chips re heated. Not tasty at all. Very disappointing. Another of my dishes was delivered without the sauce it should have had, making it very dry.

Great food and delightful staff. Such a delight when they use the best ingredients and creative menus. Always a pleasure to visit, and very good value as well

Excellent food & service , staff lovely thank you for a really good evening best meal out in Grantham .

Efficient delivery and delicious food. Paneer masala flavourful, chicken madras stands out above others we’ve had. A total delight and will be back.

The best Indian and Nepalese food in Grantham!

Very friendly helpful staff. Meal was outstanding. Very clean toilets. Lovely atmosphere. 😍

Quality of food was really poor, could not eat it. What are you going to do to convince me that it was a one off?

Great restaurant!! The guy who served us was super friendly and was very attentive to our needs. Food was fresh and tasted great. If I’m ever in Grantham again I’ll definitely be using this place. Well done guys :)

Excellent, succulent and delicious tasty food. Well worth the wait. 1st time customer, will absolutely be back for more.

Decor is lovely, food is nice, service can be a little slow but friendly staff

We enjoy a tasty and delicious food in Everest Inn. We love your service and we will visit again . Thank you

Best curry house in Grantham. Hope the increased size doesn't reduce the quality

We enjoy a tasty and delicious food. The service was very good . All staff are so friendly. We will visit again and great place who are foodie 😊

Great service and delectable food!!! We are very satisfied with the service.And the staffs are very friendly and welcoming. The dish is on another level woth mouth watering Mango Lassi.

Delicious hot food highly recommended

Nann bread that was ordered was missing.

Utterly amazing food. Well worth it.

I can't actually praise this restaurant enough!, On our first ever visit we were met with such a warm and friendly welcome. Every member of staff we encountered were polite, and helpful. The food was gorgeous, hot, tasty and well presented too. We weren't rushed into making our decisions. Highly recommended. Really enjoyed and we will definitely be back. Thank you

Lovely and tasty food, friendly atmosphere and very helpful staff.

Waited over 2 hours from ordering, food was hot, lovely and tasty when we did get it. 4 year old daughter has chicken pox feeling sad requested an Indian for tea but was far too late for her when the food actually arrived sadly. Most Indian takeaways put free popadoms in, didn’t even get that considering the time we had to wait.

Absolutely amazing food and friendly stuff. Highly recommended 👌

Lovely evening and food but extremely slow service. 14 of us and although we arrived at 7.30 the staff served everyone else who arrived later than us before us which was very frustrating.

Clean, friendly, welcoming, lovely food, great atmosphere. Had prawn curry and lamb karai, onion bhaji, garlic naan (beautiful)...draught house lager worth a try...v nice. Would highly recommend. We will return.

We occasionally order here, once every 15 months to see if it's improved - smae old experience: delivery orders are 90 mins and still delivered 15 mins late =105. For food that at is average

Had a lovely night out with friends from work. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The service and food were both very good too

Very lovely,clean tidy and the atmosphere was good the food was amazing will definitely be going there again.
