About
Everest is what happens when a Nepalese family opens a restaurant and simply cooks the way they would at home. Run by Mr and Mrs Pandey with a small team, this modest room off Second Road in Central Pattaya has quietly become one of the city’s best-rated Indian restaurants — about 4.7 on TripAdvisor and 4.6 on Google, numbers the big flashy curry houses on the main roads don’t match.
Everything is cooked to order. That’s the whole story of the place: no buffet trays, no pre-made gravies sitting around, just food that arrives hot enough to steam and tastes like someone made it for you specifically. Reviewers use words like “home-cooked” and “top class” with unusual consistency, and the guestbook-style loyalty — the same customers returning trip after trip — is the tell.
Menu highlights & prices
The menu spans North Indian restaurant standards and Nepalese home cooking:
- Onion naan — the surprise cult item; multiple reviews call it out by name. Order at least one per person.
- Paneer dishes — palak paneer and paneer butter masala are repeat favourites, generous with the cheese.
- Vindaloo — properly made and properly hot if you ask; one of the better vindaloos in town.
- Tandoori and curry standards — butter chicken, dal, biryani and the usual suspects, all cooked fresh.
- Nepalese items — worth asking about; the family’s home territory shows in the momos and thali-style plates when available.
On price, directory listings put the range at roughly ฿320–800 per person — the low end for a solo curry-naan-rice meal, the high end for a shared spread with starters and drinks. That’s a touch above Pattaya’s cheapest curry shops and well below hotel Indian dining, which feels exactly right for cook-to-order quality. Menus and prices change; the figures here are approximate from recent listings, so confirm on the menu when you order.
Hours
Advertised hours are long — roughly 10:45 to 23:00 daily, and the restaurant’s Facebook page has at times listed itself as “always open” for dine-in and pickup. In practice, treat late-evening visits with a quick confirmation call (+66 89 096 4459) — a two-person family kitchen keeps human hours.
Location & getting there
Everest sits at 381/3-4 Moo 10 on Soi 10, one of the small connecting sois between Second Road and Soi Buakhao in Central Pattaya. It’s easy to miss on first pass:
- From Second Road: turn into Soi 10 (between the Central Pattaya Road and South Pattaya junctions) and watch the right-hand shophouses.
- From Soi Buakhao: the soi connects through — a two-minute walk.
- By baht bus: any Second Road songthaew drops you at the mouth of the soi; by Grab/Bolt, search “Everest Indian Restaurant Pattaya”.
Good to know
Because everything is cooked from scratch, timing matters more here than at the big curry houses. Arrive at standard dinner hour and you may wait both for a table and for food; arrive early (before 18:30) or mid-afternoon and the Pandeys’ kitchen works at conversational pace. Takeaway and pickup are offered and popular with nearby hotel guests — curries travel well, and several reviewers make Everest their room-dinner default. If you’re new to Nepalese-Indian cooking, say so: the owners are known for walking first-timers through the menu and calibrating dishes honestly rather than upselling. Spice requests are taken literally in both directions, which regulars consider half the value of the place. And bring patience rather than expectations of decor — the room is simple, the food is the show.
Before you go
The menu combines Nepalese and North Indian dishes at a Soi 10 address. Compare the current menu and confirm the kitchen hours before making a late visit; the listed schedules and the operator’s broader opening description differ.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews
Full overview
Everest (listed variously as Everest Indian Restaurant or Everest's) is a small, family-run Nepalese-Indian restaurant in Central Pattaya, tucked down Soi 10 between Second Road and Soi Buakhao. It's the opposite of the big tour-group curry houses: Mr and Mrs Pandey cook to order, portions arrive piping hot, and the room holds only a handful of tables. That intimacy shows in the ratings — 4.7 on TripAdvisor from well over a hundred reviews and about 4.6 on Google, putting it among the best-rated Indian kitchens in the city. The menu covers North Indian standards plus Nepalese home cooking: onion naan is a cult favourite, the paneer dishes and vindaloo get repeat mentions, and spice levels are cooked to request rather than dumbed down. Expect roughly ฿320–800 per person depending on how many dishes you share — slightly above bargain-basement curry-shop prices, fair for cook-to-order quality. The trade-offs are the flip side of the charm: it's small, service is a two-person show, and made-to-order food takes longer than reheated buffet fare. Worth the wait.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Everest Pattaya menu available online?
There's no slick official website, but the menu is photographed on TripAdvisor and listed on Restaurant Guru — North Indian curries, tandoori dishes, breads, plus Nepalese items. Menus and prices change, so treat online versions as a guide.
How much does a meal at Everest cost?
Listings put the typical spend at roughly ฿320–800 per person depending on how much you order and share. A curry, naan and rice for one runs cheaper; a family-style spread with starters costs more. Prices change — confirm on the menu.
Where exactly is Everest Indian Restaurant?
At 381/3-4 Moo 10 on Soi 10, a small soi off Second Road in Central Pattaya running toward Soi Buakhao. It's a short walk from both roads — use the map link on this page the first time.
Is Everest still open?
Yes — as of mid-2026 it holds current listings on TripAdvisor and Restaurant Guru (directory updates as recent as March 2026) and an active Facebook page. Hours are long (roughly 10:45 to about 23:00) but confirm before a late-night visit.
Is the food very spicy?
Only if you want it to be. The kitchen cooks to order and reviewers consistently note that spice is adjusted to request — ask for mild, Thai-hot or anywhere in between. The vindaloo, ordered hot, is the real thing.
