Everest Indian and Himalyan Resturant and Grill

This is a first series for Food on the Go Series with Chitra.
Everest Indian and Himalyan Resturant and Grill, their website:- http://everestirving.wix.com/everest
This is an Indian restaurant I visited recently in Irving, Texas. It is located 3310 W. Rochelle Road, Irving, Texas, 75062 . When you arrive at this restaurant the first feeling you get is its shady area. But don’t go the book by its cover.I am sure you will love the food here like I did. It sis quite reasonable and a different kind of restaurant experience which you will not get in all the restaurants, you will see why after you read this post, so keep reading and enjoy.
According to their Website it is a restaurant which provides you authentic Nepali taste..For those of you who don’t know where is Nepal, click here. They have experienced chef especially, our head chef who has  more than 15 years of experience in preparing the special Nepali and Indian cuisine. The ambience here is really cozy. I felt really warm and comfortable in sitting here, the decorations also shows some ethnicity for Nepal and India. Ok now comes the fun part, the food I ordered there, lets start with appetizer. I ordered Chili Chicken Fried Momos ( Fried Chicken Dumpling/dim sum), which was the best ever eaten momos ever in my whole life till now. Believe me guys I am from Delhi and since 10-12 years, I have tried many places for momos, since they came first time in Delhi. Delhi people love street food and spicy street food. In Delhi Momos are either served as steam or fried . But here fried means always stir fried not deep fried. Its is served with spicy chili sauce, and with spicy means its really spicy. Spice level for me is 08 (in1 being low and 10 being highest). My husband does not like momos at all, but this time when he saw this appetizer which I ordered he was tempted to eat it. He was the first one to eat it and he loved it. They were bomb spicy and best ever. Here is the picture of it., I am sure everyone will be loving this dish   So lets move to entrée now:- We both ordered Veg and Non Veg Indian Thali. It comes with Rice, Naan bread, Curd/Youghurt, Three kinds of vegetable or curries, pakora and one sweet Basically Thali experience is hard to get in USA, there are only few restaurants who serve this kind of specialty. Here is the picture for this:- So my overall experience was really good, I would totally recommend this restaurant to everyone who are visiting Dallas or just travelling. If you want to experience this Thali experience in Dallas Texas, you must go. I will give  four stars to this restaurant and food I ate and my experience I am saving one star for Hope you enjoyed my first post on this series and you will back when I come back again with another fun post for you.

Food on the Go Series with Chitra

Hi Guys, I have been thinking a lot to start this new series on my food blog for long, finally I am beginning this series from my Birthday. This series was inspired by all those people who have travelling job and love to try out new and different cuisines. My husband and I have a travelling job, we have travelled a lot since we got married. We are big foodie and whenever we went to a new places, always on weekends we wanted to try out new things, new restaurants and new cuisines, although Yelp and Google helped a lot, but somehow there was some personal touch which we always looked into like reviews from some local people, pictures or recommendations. So this series is all about that. In this series I will be posting all about those places I visit and food I ordered in those restaurants or food joints. I will try to post about the restaurant, along with pictures of food.  It will be really fun series, where we all can communicate with each other, and if you decide to try that food or place, you can share your experience too in the comments section. I know everyone is searching for some different kind of food everywhere. Also everyone wants to know which food was best and which was worse, I will share my experience with you guys. I hope you like this series and let me know if you want me to update some more information about any post. If you have come across my blog first time and you like it, please follow my blog and share with your friends and family too. New Blog post for this series coming soon.
