The distinctive red brick of the former Donnington Arms pub on Howard Street now signals your arrival at Everest Nepalese Restaurant and Bar, a welcoming spot where the building's 1930s 'Improved Public House' origins meet the vibrant culture of Nepal. Inside, stripped floors and ethnic art create a casual, yet intriguing atmosphere, setting the stage for an authentic culinary journey. It's a place proud to bring the genuine, subtly spiced flavours of Nepalese cuisine to Oxford, using fresh ingredients to craft dishes that aim for a cleaner, crisper, and more balanced taste. Whether you're familiar with Nepalese food or trying it for the first time, the menu offers a delightful exploration, from popular street food like Chatpate, a crunchy and spicy mix of dried noodles and puffed rice, to traditional homemade dumplings known as momo, available with vegetable, chicken, or lamb fillings and served with a stone-ground chutney.
Expect a menu that balances Nepalese specialities with familiar Indian-style dishes, ensuring there's something to entice every palate. Chef's specials often include unique creations like Rum Rum Chicken, a traditional Nepalese classic cooked with mountain black pepper, or the aromatic Himalayan Lamb. For those seeking a comprehensive taste, set meals offer excellent value, often featuring a variety of courses. Beyond the main courses, explore an extensive range of vegetable side dishes, perfect for mixing and matching, including popular choices like Aloo Daam (potatoes with red onion and chilli) or Palungo Aloo (potatoes with spinach). The restaurant is known for its friendly service and has garnered positive reviews, with many customers praising the quality and flavour of both eat-in and takeaway meals, making it a well-regarded dining destination in Oxford.
