Editorial Review for Everest on Grand – by Donna Tabbert Long
In Short
This sunny clean corner shop brims with energy, crowds and reasonably priced fare. Photos of snow-capped Himalayas grace the walls, and the two rooms are filled with happy folks, chowing down and conversing. Menu highlights feature potato/pea samosa, Tibetan dumplings and Nepalese curries. There's also momos: steamed or buttery pan-fried dumplings of herb accented meats and vegetables. The fine daal-bhaat (complete curried meals served with basmati rice) are filling and come with dessert.

The first time we went here, I fell in love with the food. My boyfriend thought it was just ok and I begged him to return. We did and decided to try the buffet, which was disappointing. They don't stay right on top of keeping things filled and fresh, and perhaps what they put out isn't the greatest held in a buffet. It is a bit expensive, but I think it's a fine place if you order off the menu when you want to splurge a bit. I don't remember having problems with the service, but I'm writing this review of the experiences we had months ago.
Cons: buffet, price

I can't say anything bad about Everest, I love it! I've brought lots of different people to this place and they have all enjoyed it. It's quaint and eclectic and makes me feel as if I'm in Portland visiting my family! The blend of spices and flavors is amazing! I love food from this region of the world, but this has it's own twist! Where else can you get goat bone soup and yak? I usually show up for the lunch buffet so I can try something new each time, but I do have my favorites, the momos and the goat soup, at least I think it was goat soup. There were so many things I looked at tasted and maybe it was some sort of soup and I had some goat meat! Either way, I loved it!
Pros: Good location, near Macalister College lots of window shoppping and things to see.
Cons: parking is limited to a small lot behind the building or street parking
