In the kitchen at Everest Dine, the talented chefs are committed to traditional Indian and Nepalese cooking techniques, making use of handi, karahi, and the tandoor oven to great effect. Here, authentic dishes mix and mingle with old favourites given a contemporary update, but any meal at Everest Dine should begin with a round of Nepalese momo, vegetarian or lamb dumplings served with tomato chutney that are exemplary of Himalayan cuisine. Other highlights to begin include the Everest Magic tikka served with a special fresh mint chutney, and the Nepali choyta, barbecued diced lamb marinated with mustard, fenugreek and the chef’s secret blend of spices served on crispy rice. You can’t go past the chef’s recommendations or Everest Dine’s special platters – available to dine-in guests only – if you want to understand why this Leicester city centre Indian and Nepalese restaurant has garnered so many awards. The house special karahi develops the familiar favourite into outstanding territory, while the Everest vegetable mela is a sumptuous feast for vegetarian diners.
