Review Mount Everest Indian Cuisine - Ajax

The food wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t to my taste. I found the butter chicken too sweet and the breading on the chicken pakora was thicker than I like, soft and a bit grainy. The chicken curry had an odd flavour I just couldn’t get into. The quality of the chicken seemed decent though. Customer service was so-so.

Liked the food here. Good portions and everything was tasty and fresh. Ordered Nauratan vegetable mix, Pendu chicken, butter roti and Paneer naan - I was really impressed by Paneer naan. It was superb. Would love to go back again and recommend to everyone.

My husband’s family has been raving/ordering from Mt. Everest for years and I finally tried it for the first time and have to say- best Indian I’ve ever tried! It’s so fresh, you don’t feel sick from eating it, non greasy at all, such fluffy fresh naan bread. I can’t say more about this wonderful place. We ordered the tandoori, pakoras and spicy chicken curry and all three items were delicious. The green sauce served with one of the dishes was also so fresh, spicy and flavourful. Highly recommend!

The food was really great and the service was friendly. I would have given 5 stars if they served better wine. But great vegan options available.

The Mount Everest is close to home and offers Indian cuisine, one of my favourites. Although I live nearby, this was my first visit. I dropped in for lunch one day, looking forward to their all-you-can-eat buffet offerings. The place is small and choices are limited, with Butter Chicken and Curry Goat being the only meat choices. The main buffet has only ten choices, with naan, samosas, and soup being included in the ten dishes. There is a smaller station next to the main one, offering shredded cabbage, sauces, and a few limited dessert options. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of all the dishes but they included cauliflower, chickpeas, green peas, and a couple of other vegetarian dishes. Everything tasted good. The curry goat, although it tasted good, was oily and could have been cooked a little longer to make it more tender. The gravy appeared to have separated instead of being smooth. Service was friendly and good, with the used plates being cleared efficiently. Although the choices were limited, it was a good value at ten dollars!

Always great food. The Mattar Paneer, Tarka Daal & Aloo Ghobi are excellent as are the many other meat and veggie dishes. Take-away service is very prompt and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

I went to visit the restaurant today and found out it shut down yesterday! I wish all the best to the owners!

Mount Everest has switched owners a few years ago however it still remains the best Indian food that you can buy in Ajax or Pickering. Their lunch buffet cannot be beat at just over $10. Friendly and kind staff as well.

Irreplaceable! The best Indian food ever. I have yet to find a butter chicken that even compares. Also love their Chana and other dishes.

Best Indian food in Durham Region! Favourite dish is beef madras.

Transition from the former owners to the new was seamless and the food is still awesome... love eating there, never had a bad meal!!!

Had your wonderful food New Year's Eve Couldn't wait to get up and have it for breakfast too!!!
