Fantastic Indian restaurant! I have gluten dairy and soy allergies and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable of what was safe for me. And it was delicious.

5-Star Experience at Everest Nepalese & Indian Cuisine My wife and I had dinner here last night with a friend, and everything from start to finish was outstanding. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and offered our choice of seating—we chose a spot near the large glass windows, which offered plenty of natural light and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is impressive—packed with delicious-sounding options. We started with the chicken and vegetable *Sadheko Momo*—if you've never had momo, it's similar to a dumpling. These were bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and somehow both fresh and satisfying. A fantastic start to the meal. For dinner, we shared the *Newari Khaja Set* (which is gluten-free), and it was truly a feast: beaten rice with a wasabi-like kick, chicken choila, piroo aloo, vegetable curry, sautéed black-eyed peas, soybean sadeko, fried egg, lentil pancake (bara), tomato achaar, papadum, and dessert. Every bite offered a new flavor to appreciate. The egg added a crispy touch, and the curry was deeply flavorful. The dessert—imagine a sweet hush puppy in a pool of maple syrup—was the perfect ending. Service was excellent: our server was kind, attentive without hovering, and gave us time to enjoy everything at a relaxed pace. If you're a fan of Indian or Nepalese cuisine—or just love trying something new—Everest is a must. We’ll definitely be back!

This is my favorite restaurant in Louisville across all categories. Atmosphere: Many restaurants play jacked up music and I can't wait to leave. As soon as I walk into Shalimar I relax. The Indian sitar accompanied music is so pleasant. Even though this is a popular restaurant I've never had to wait for seating, as seating is abundant. The restaurant is clean. The environment is just so peaceful. Service - My family and I have eaten here about 40 times. The service has always been attentive without being over-solicitous. Food - Consistently good every time. We have vegetarians and non-vegetarians in the family. Both are well served. Some of us are gluten free and no dairy and find abundant choices.

This not so hidden gem is situated at the corner of Avenue of Champions and Limestone, right in the heart of UK. My son took his girlfriend to Mahek the week before and had nothing but good things to say. Tonight he and I dined in and were not disappointed. The dining room is spacious and inviting, the owner greeted us right away, and our waiter was top notch. What I especially appreciate is the amount of dietary options available and clearly marked on the menu (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free etc). We ordered two apps: Vegetable birds nest and Paneer pakora. For our main entrees, we ordered Matar Paneer, and Chicken Korma and garlic naan, all delicious with plenty of leftovers to take home. They also offer a lunch special 7 days a week for $11! Please give this restaurant a try if you like great service, great prices and great food!

My mom and I have eaten here for so many years! They treat us like family and we love them! Our server, Babu, greets us happily and take such good care of us. Plus I have celiac disease and can safely eat gluten free there! Highly recommend!
