The menu offers incredible value and diversity offering tastes to satisfy a craving for spicy Asian foods from Tibet and India or just delicious sandwiches, pastas or pizzas.
This place has a very strange menu (Tibetan, Indian, Pizza, Sandwiches). The food was alright, nothing special. The server kind of hovered over us but could have been because it wasn't too busy. The decor is nice!
I've been here several times in the past few years, whenever we go to Toronto. Has a fun hipster vibe, the food is decent and i've never had problems with the service. Great patio, I have fond memories of sitting there on a hot day and having a couple of beer.
I've been dropping into Everest semi-regularly for about a year now. When I'm downtown, it's my "go-to" spot when I'm not sure what I want. It's mix of Tibetan and Indian food provides plenty of vegetarian options. My first few visits were focused on the Platter, which provides a great sampling of their curried vegetables (excellent on its own), momoas, and noodles. I've brought a few friends... more
Had nachos which were surprisingly meh.Bar tap choice was kind of limited, and they didn't have all on tap.The ambiance was nice, but the nachos remain in my mind.
I give this one a "Yay! I'm a fan." rating with a grain of salt ... just remember that when you go out, it is a package deal. You get the neighbourhood, the vibe of the staff, your group and or individual mood/tastes/expectations and of course - the food.I've been here about 5 times over the past 10 years (3 of which I lived within 200 meters), and so long as the expectations were reasonable -... more
Been here around 3-4 times, and each time it was not my suggestion and was for a friend's celebration. It's good for groups as the menu is very diverse, but it's not a place I would suggest for any function I would put on.I enjoy trying out new things items, so the menu is fun to choose from, but I'm always wary when I see something like "pizza" at places like this, although I have heard good... more
Dined here last night with a couple of friends. I liked the nifty slidey doors and the cool, modern decor aaaaaaand that's about it. Service was extremely slow albeit the lack of business. Just getting water... seemed to be a chore for our server, :/. I ordered the Chili Chicken for $13.51 and yeah, I've had better. It was rather salty and... clumpy/gooey? Weird. The rice was, at least, okay.... more
Interesting fact: the servers here can't smile because it goes against their programming. About a year ago, a lone server smiled on a Saturday night and it caused the automatic glass sliding doors to the patio/entrance to short-circuit. Since that fateful day, smiles are forbidden.Seriously, the pretension here makes me laugh :-) Get over yourselves people: this part of Queen West hasn't been... more
Okay restaurant that probably only survives because of its location on the busy Queen West strip. I have eaten her numerous times due to the proximity to the Four Seasons Centre (there aren't a lot of good restaurant in the area that aren't expensive... if I feel like splurging, Nota Bene is fantastic). The decor is clean and modern (like most places, in an attempt to look cool, it is really... more
The food was great and very reasonable. I've seen many complaints on here about service. The hostess wasn't terribly attentive, but our server was. He had a lot of tables to look after but came by often enough to take care of us without any issues. This was during a weekday lunch, so not sure how it would be nights/weekends.
I just watched the owner push and elderly woman who collects bottles in the neighborhood and take her cart. Then he was rude when confronted. Frankly the whole thing disgusted me. Don't go to this place.
A rather typical establishment for this part of Toronto: fancyish decor, subpar food, and c@!%!y service. I came here on a date and ordered food and beverage and everything was bleh. Not bad, but not good. Below average I'd say. The prices were certainly high for what you get in terms of quality of food, but you're paying for the location and pretension. Not my thing. The service is not... more
This place was one of my favourite restaurants to eat at when I worked across the street.Not only do they have a fabulous patio, but the ambiance of the restaurant itself is extremely warm and welcoming.The staff is superb, as is the food. Speaking of food - whether you like Indian, Tibetan, Asian, Italian or American, Everest has got it all.I especially love their Sabji Rassa and their Chana... more
This was my first and last visit to the restaurant. Walk on by and find another place on Queen st.My friend and I destined for a movie a 7:00 pm arrived at the restaurant at 5:20 pm and are seated promptly in the dining room. The place is almost empty with maybe another 6 tables of patrons seated. The wait begins, 10 minutes for a waiter to come by and take a drink order from us, another 10... more
Went here for a friend's birthday (her suggestion btw), and I thought the place was great. We went for drinks, but ended up ordering the food too. I had the samosas and spicy shrimp pizza - it was really good. The sizzling tandoori chicken looked good too (a friend got it), the serving was really big. The mango smoothie was the smoothest I've ever had!The reason for 5 stars was mainly for... more
After running a little late, and leaving a friend and I with only an hour for dinner before our movie, we opted to venture into one of the restaurants along Queen Street near the Scotiabank Theatre (instead of our original plan on King Street). The automatic doors was a bit strange, and the inside is not as dark as it looks from the outside. We had an excellent server, who was prompt with... more
I only ever have their burger and fries and I oddly really like them. Like, a lot. There's nothing special about the dish - just a straight up burger and straight up fries (which I douse in mayo and salt). And that's all I really have to say about this place.So there.
The first thing I noticed about this restaurant was the sliding doors to get in. Once in we chose to sit at the patio since it was nice and warm outside. The service was OK. Although the waiter got one of the 4 orders incorrect, they did fix it immediately. I had the momos. The momos were quite good, but didn't seem like a dinner size dish. Another person in our group ordered a chili beef dish... more
Really...."meh" best describes it. The food is okay, edible, but not great. I have had MUCH better. The atmosphere is fairly pretty (which bodes well for me). Has the patio and all. The automatic doors I think are a little odd in a restaurant...am I at a restaurant or Loblaws?!
From the Tibetan portion of the menu, my friend and I ordered two dishes to share. The tsel tofu ($8.95) was essentially long, thin strips of beancurd and veggies stirfried in unexciting brown sauce and served with lukewarm steamed Chinese buns which should normally be bursting with steam when ripped apart for dipping. The tsel momo ($9.95) was a better example of the steamed dumpling skins... more
I think I like this place... I mean I go there for lunch on occasion so that means I don't hate it, right?But there is something about it that would make this my evening's 20th choice at best. At lunch, the staff seems friendly enough albeit a tad slow considering you're likely limited to how long you have for lunch if you work in the area. And I wouldn't kick some of their food out of bed (I... more
** 3.5 Stars **I'll say it right off the bat, you're paying for the atmosphere when you come here. Everest provides a lounge atmosphere with a nice patio in the summer. They serve Tibetan / Indian food with some sandwiches and pizza's in between. Their food is definitely not bad, but it's nothing special and even though the mains are all between $9-11 which is pretty good, the portion size is... more
Worst restaruant ever.ok, not worst, but so below average and on top of that ridiculously bad pretentious service that you don't want to ever step foot in that resturant and you will even go OUT of your way to write a horribly bad review on yelp just to let anyone and everyone else know it sucks.below-average asian fusion food. tries to be trendy.it has nice decor, i'll give it taht.but the... more
A few weeks ago my friend Aaron Shelbounre went to Everest Restaurant for lunch, which was a usual event for him. The last time he went there, however, he accidentally scratched the bathroom door with his wheelchair. Overreacting, the manager approached Aaron’s attendant and said they could never come back because of the scratch.
Apparently a paint job is more important than a persons civil...

Good menu with a variety of different foods – not just Indian. Servings are a bit small, so it’s a nice play to go to if you’re on a diet.
After undergoing some major renovations, this Queen West Restaurant has opened its doors once again. Infused with a new, warm modern design, Everest has held true to its menu offering a combination of Indian and Tibetan food along with continental favourites like sandwiches and pastas. Also available are martinis, wine or draft beers served up from the massive 20 foot granite bar. When the... more
