Everest Indian Restaurant Woolston brings Indian and Nepalese cooking together at its Ferry Road dining room. The branch is set up for both a seated meal and takeaway, but the menu has the breadth of a full restaurant rather than a narrow curry list. Indian classics sit beside Nepalese specialities, Indo-Chinese dishes, seafood, vegetarian and vegan choices, giving mixed groups plenty of room to build a meal across several traditions.
The tandoor shapes much of the opening selection. Paneer tikka, chicken malai tikka, tandoori mushrooms and garlic prawns use yoghurt, cashew, spice or garlic marinades before meeting the clay oven, while lamb seekh kebab adds a minced, grilled option. Samosas, onion bhajis and vegetable pakora cover crisp vegetarian starters, and the mixed platters make it easy to compare kebabs, tikka, fritters and chutneys around one table.
Curry choices move between creamy, tomato-led and more aromatic profiles. Butter chicken combines grilled meat with tomato, cream and fenugreek; Madras uses mustard seeds, curry leaves and coconut cream; saag brings spinach into the sauce. Rogan josh, kadai and bhuna offer further approaches to chicken or lamb, while fish and prawns can be ordered in Malabari, tikka masala, spinach or spiced onion-and-capsicum preparations.
The Nepalese section gives Everest its strongest point of difference. Momos appear steamed, fried, in chilli gravy or in a tomato, sesame and timmur soup, while thukpa offers a Himalayan noodle soup and choila pairs barbecued meat with Nepalese spices and puffed rice. Dal bhat and the chicken or goat thali turn lentils, vegetables, rice, roti, pickle and curry into a complete plate; biryani and freshly cooked breads round out larger shared orders.
