My first encounter with Everest Cafe was a few years back at the Taste of St. Louis downtown. I fell in love with their vegetable samosas. From then on Devi, the owner, began calling me the Queen of Samosas. I do like the new location in the Grove much better than the old Washington location. But I haven't frequented them as much since becoming vegan because I didn't find the choices to be plentiful. However, Devi is always more than happy to create something for you! He and his wife are always very nice; he treats you like family when you're there. Whatever I order is always very good, very fresh, and quite filling. Prices are reasonable. I can feed my family a complete dinner for about $20...
I was excited to try this place because of the great reviews. The service was great, workers were nice. The food was nice and spicy, the way I like it. The Chai tea and panner sagg was very good. I was surprise, though, most of my plate was lukewarm. We came in right as they opened at 11:30, so I would think that it would be piping hot. I thought Ok well maybe the warmers aren 't working on that one. I gave it the benefit of a doubt and got another plate from the second buffet. Lukewarm again. I don 't understand how. The food would have been amazing had it been hot. Maybe it was just a bad day because people do seem to really like it in the reviews.
the couple that owns the restaurant supports besides serving Nepalese, Indian and Korean eating a causal. see the website for information about the mission of the couple as well as information about the species of vegetarians and other information. fresh fruit and vegetables delicious, but too salty. it seems that alcoholic beverages are not very important. the warm rice wine was interesting, but there is no single malt scotch offered. you do not really expect scotch in a restaurant like this. a greater variety of tees would be appreciated.
I have been eating at Everest Café Bar since 2004. Never disappoints. Everest Café Bar is a must-visit restaurant in St. Louis. I bring my new-to-town friends there. It takes only one bite for them to be hooked and become regulars. My friends who moved away always request to eat there when they come back to visit. What impresses us the most is that the quality of food is consistent after all these years. Again, never disappoints.

There are lots of vegan dishes on the lunch buffet each day. Each vegan dish is clearly marked vegan and there are usually 2 or 3 the rice. I go at least once a week, and while the servers may forget to tell you to go ahead go back to the buffet, or they may forget to offer you something other than water, you can always ask for a different drink item (full bar), and the servers are all very friendly. Adore the place!
Good Indian/Nepali restaurant in town. We went there for buffet while we were in town to see the gateway arch. The food was tasty and the service was good too. Lots of options for veg and non veg buffet. We met the owner, a very nice and humble man. He spoke about his passion for cooking healthy food for his restaurant, definitely coming back to this place when in town.
Update: 6 years we've been coming to this place. Their lunch buffet is so good! The owner is the chef and cooks their food himself, cleans, etc. They use their proceeds to run a health clinic in Nepal. What an amazing restaurant with fantastically healthy and yummy food options.
Food made with heart. Out of all the Nepali restaurants in St. Louis, this was by far my favorite.
