About
Authentic Nepalese and Indian restaurant right by Yeongdeungpo Station serving rich curries and forearm-sized tandoor-baked naan.
A few strides from Yeongdeungpo Station’s Exit 6, a staircase leads down to the basement dining room of Everest Restaurant. Opened as part of the storied lineage of Nepalese-run eateries that introduced authentic South Asian fare to Seoul, the subterranean space immerses guests in South Asian culture from the threshold. Paintings of deities hang against the walls, metal cups and ornate platters adorn the tables, and the air carries the rich scent of simmering spices. The menu spans a sprawling selection of Indian and Nepalese staples, easily ordered via paper menus or tableside tablets. While the gravies arrive in modest metal bowls, the freshly baked naan commands the table. Stretched remarkably thin and arriving hot enough to cover an adult’s forearm, the naan—especially the glazed butter and savory garlic varieties—offers a chewy, blistered surface ready to scoop up curry. Curry options cater to both spice-forward and creamy preferences. The chicken tikka masala balances a kick of chili with roasted poultry, while the chicken korma leans sweet, enriched with velvety cream. Vegetable options shine equally bright, notably the palak paneer, a vibrant green spinach pureé laced with mild cheese cubes and gentle spices that surprises diners who initially hesitate at its verdant color. Diners often round out the meal with samosas served alongside chutney and chili dipping sauces, or long-grain Indian rice that soaks up every drop of spiced gravy. Cool sips of sweet, house-made mango lassi help temper the meal's heat. Those seeking the full experience finish with a warm cup of spiced chai milk tea alongside gulab jamun—syrup-drenched, doughnut-textured milk sweets that rival traditional yakgwa in their intense, honeyed sweetness. Unpretentious and transportive, it remains a reliable anchor for authentic spice right by the train tracks.
