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.
