The food was sensational! It arrived quickly and was truly great. This is a must try if you are in the area.
Fantastic Nepalese food. We tried a bunch of their dumplings and soups. Everything was delicious, even if I don't know the official names of them myself. I've seen more and more Nepali places pop up recently, but due to how good this food was I think I struck gold on the first try. Will definitely be returning!
A co worker recommended this place for their popular chili momo dumplings (pork). The best fried chili momo I've ever had! Definitely going back soon!
This was my first time trying this restaurant. Recently, there has been an explosion of places serving Nepali/Himalayan cuisine in Harrisburg area. I reached there shortly after the place opened for lunch. I was the only one at that time and till I left with my take out order. The owner greeted me as I entered. He was very polite and patient while I browsed the menu. Inside is nice and very clean. They can accommodate big groups. My food was freshly made and packed nicely. Chicken momos were delicious but not spicy. The spicy sauce which came with it perfectly complimented. Though next time I'll ask them to give more of the sauce. Himalayan chicken soup was very flavorful. The only issue with the soup was overcooked chicken. It was so overcooked that it had become hard strings and couldn't be eaten. It's vegetarian friendly and serves spicy food. You can ask for different spice level and they can make it, since food is custom made.
Food was great and better than what we expected. It was our first time trying Nepalese food, and it is now our new number #1 favorite type of food to eat. They had great vegan and vegetarian options, so flavorful. Highly recommend, plus owner was very knowledgeable and kind. Delicious, hot food!
This restaurant is a true gem and the owner and staff are genuine, generous and enthusiastic to not only share their cuisine, but also their culture. As an educator in the area, I arranged a staff dinner in November 2018 at this restaurant to support the students and families of Nepalese and Bhutanese culture who attend our school. It was easy to communicate with the owner via Facebook messenger and he welcomed our large party warmly. We walked away with full bellies, exposure to the culture, and a trusted new community member. I reached out to the owner again this week when our school was hosting a multicultural night and received a very generous donation, which everyone loved (photo attached). This is a diamond in the rough and the location is expanding its dining options to be able to accommodate larger parties. I highly recommend Everest Spice!
Wonderful first-time experience at Everest Spice. The restaurant is a little hard to find, owing to a fairly dark stretch of Derry Street, but it's at the end of a strip mark, giving plenty of opportunities to enter the parking lot and drive to it through the lot. The inside is lovely, very simply decorated in wood grains, with tables and banquettes. We were unfortunately the only diners in the restaurant when we got there around 6:45 on a Thursday evening. Another couple came in while we were eating. We were greeted promptly by a man we assume is the proprietor, given menus and water. The menu is sizable, with numerous Nepalese and Bhutanese dishes. To my eye, the food is exclusively Nepalese/Bhutanese, with none of the familiar Indian dishes prevalent in other similar restaurants. Our server was very helpful in deciphering the various dishes; but, in the end, one just has to take a chance. I ordered a Pork Chilli Momo as an appetizer and Pork-Pa, a chalkboard special, described as pork belly and spinach. B & M each ordered Chicken Thuk-Pa, a Himalayan noodle soup. While we waited, we were served a plate of Nim-Ke, crispy fried noodles that looked like something you'd see in a Chinese restaurant, but so much more flavorful, with a subtle hint of fennel. It was accompanied by a dipping sauce that looked like ketchup but with a truly unique taste. The Chilli Momo was a good sized portion, between a large app and a small entree. Eight plump pork-filled dumplings in a tangy red sauce with onion and bell pepper, delish! The girls' Thuk-Pa was a tomato soup with noodles, veggies and fried chicken chunks, very good. The Pork-Pa, which I'm told will be on the new menu, was a fantastic combination of thick slabs of unctuous pork belly topped with wilted spinach and several mildly-spicy green chilies, just barely cooked, topped with an onion compote and served with basmati rice. It was the best thing I've eaten in a long time! The best Nepalese/Bhutanese restaurant we've been to in the Harrisburg area (where they seem to be popping up like spring crocuses). Prices are very reasonable, and we used a Local Flavor deal that is available occasionally. Probably not the best for kids (or adults) who aren't fairly adventurous eaters, since there was no apparent children's menu or American dishes, unless you count Chow Mein. We will definitely be back!
