Everest Momo

One of the best momos I’ve had in the Bay Area!
Everest Momo Truck serves seriously delicious, fresh, and flavorful momos , perfectly steamed with juicy fillings and that amazing spicy chutney on the side. I tried both steamed and fried, and they were spot on! The team running the truck was super friendly and welcoming too. It’s a bit of a wait sometimes, but totally worth it. If you love authentic Nepali-style momos, this place is a must-try!

We tried the veg momos and veg chilli momos. The chutney was flavorful and added a nice kick, but the momos themselves weren’t exactly to my taste. The filling could use a bit more flavor, and the outer coating felt a little thick for me.

That said, the menu has a lot of variety, so I’d be open to coming back and trying some of their other dishes.

Vegetarian reviewer:
We ordered two items on DoorDash and we were bowled! The jhol momo was nicely packed (the sauce was packed separately so that the momos didn't become soggy). They gave enough sauces - momo sauce and chilli sauce (2 of each). The momos were very flavorful by itself. It wasn't too spicy as well.

And the paneer fried rice was so yummy - was full of veggies and paneer chunks. It tasted fresh and healthy coz it was not greasy at all.

We are super excited to try the Chowmein next time. Highly recommend - adding this food truck to one of our goto places!

Tip: great time to try it online soon - they have $8 offer now on DoorDash.

Update: I wrote a good review, but the jhol I was doubtful about turned bad the next day in my refrigerator. When I called and told them about this, they were extremely rude! The staff said it’s not possible, they make it newly every single day. They said I am calling for free food etc and what not. It maybe a one-off day, but I’d just put this warning here!

Good tasting chicken and veg momos. Slightly oily can be improved. Enough seating for 2 groups - keep that in mind when you’re planning to sit there and eat

Please be careful. The dipping sauce tasted and smelled off, almost like it was expired. I got stomach sick the next day. Additionally, not sure what changed, but both the momos and noodles have lost their old flavor and are now quite disappointing.

I’ve been ordering from here for years and always loved this place. Please bring back the original recipe.

Karimi Indian and Pakistani Cuisine

I had the chicken karahi, the flavor was good, but the meat pieces were a bit big and saltier than I prefer. Still, pretty solid for the price. The tandoori naan went really well with it, and the chicken seekh kebab was also good for what it cost. The only thing I didn’t love was the carrot halwa , it didn’t taste fresh. Overall, decent food and good value.

Great choice for desi food!
There weren't too many people and we (three of us) got a table pretty quickly.
Our food was out within about 10 minutes of ordering.
I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Naan (My absolute Fav!!) AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!
The Chicken Masala was so delicious, creamy, buttery and savory!
I had to get another order of Naan to wrap up my Masala but it was worth it!
Oh and of course, I got a Mango Lassi which was fantastic!
Loved the service and the overall experience!
Definitely would recommend!

Great mix of Indian and Pak food at reasonable price. There place is clean and offers quick service with lots of room...
The kabobs and meat are of great taste...
This is more of a pay first, food next type which makes you reorder every time you need more...
But the staff is very friendly and helpful... Definitely worth a stop

Best Indian food that I've ever had.  Staff is welcoming and made excellent recommendations.

The food came out incredibly hot within 5ish minutes of ordering.

Everything that I ordered was made with fresh ingredients with bold, but balanced flavors. Not overly oily and the meat was cooked perfectly.

The desert is equally good.

My only recommendation would be to have table servers and a beer selection but this is a meal that I won't forget for many years.

I recently visited the wonderful Karimi restaurant and was impressed. The kebabs, made with beef, lamb and chicken, were incredibly delicious — perfectly spiced and perfectly cooked. Every bite was full of flavor and tenderness. The naan bread was soft and fresh. For dessert, I enjoyed the baklava, which was sweet, flaky and perfectly balanced. I highly recommend this place for those who love traditional Pakistani cuisine!
