Founder
NAMASTE! Mohan and Keshori Aryal Welcomes you.
Everest-Nokka is one of Helsinki’s oldest restaurants and a trendsetter in field of offering Himalayan flavors.
The restaurant was founded by Mohan Aryal back in 1997 and now this year proudly celebrating 25 years of Silver Jubilee!
When Mohan arrived in Finland in the early 90s, his burning desire has been to be purse the profession of passion in his new home country by establishing his own restaurant and preparing and adapting Nepali dishes to suit Finnish tastes.
Customer can also get original flavors by presenting their wishes to the friendly staff. Each portion is put together in the kitchen, taking into account the customer’s special wishes. An excellent example of this is from a regular customer’s wish dish on Menus called Kukhuro Resham firiri. The dish he has come to love during his own trips to Nepal. Based on his wish, that special dish of chicken in a strong sauce, green peppers, onions and lots of chilithat that reminiscent of a Nepali folk song was developed in our kitchen.
Himalayan recipe is abundance of strong spices and different flavor cooked in fire. The world’s spice regions are next door and available in your own country.
Hindu culture regulates the menu in such a way that beef is not be to be found on the menu, instead lamb, chicken, fish and especially vegetarian food are prominent.
The intimate Restaurant Everest, located in the jugendstil architecture house in Katajanokka, is a family business with strong ties to entrepreneurship and business operations, a good example of which is the AAA rating awarded to the restaurant and many recognition from different communities.
The captivating friendliness and service orientation of the restaurateur and staff have brought the restaurant a very large and loyal customer base.
Welcome aboard!
Welcome – Namaste!
Mr. Mohan Aryal and the rest of our staff heartily welcome you, Namaste!
We are located in Katajanokka principally known for its fine examples of Jugendstil architecture. Katajanokka’s residents include former Finnish President (from 1982 to 1994) Mauno Koivisto and composer Einojuhani Rautavaara. We opened our doors in 1997 and Mount Everest Nokka is the first one among two of its sister Mount Everest Restaurants. Since we open, we have served many customers and we are delighted to get lots of good reviews. Those beautiful words are always inspiration for us. We always do our best to satisfy our customers. We are able to host about 50 guests.
Nepalese Curry
In Nepalese cooking the word Curry is a common name for a mix of different spices. Every well respected Chef prepares his own curry. Our Chef also makes his own curry. And I can tell you that it is something heavenly and succulent, a bit afrodisiac even.
Spicy Food
ONE CHILI sign on the menu means that the food is spiced mildly and not burning.
TWO CHILIES means that the food is spicy, you can eat it ! You´ll sweat but the plate will be empty sooner or later it tastes delicious and you´ll remember it next morning also.
THREE CHILIES means the real thing, only for pros. A person who is not used to spicy food might consider this as a challenge or at least a test of bravery, or as we say: You´ve got Sisu!
The effect of chili is based on an acid called Capsaicin, a lipophilic chemical that can produce a strong burning sensation in the mouth which your mouth feel as pain, it won´t destroy your sense of tastes but lets you enjoy different tastes of our food. Don’t try cool your mouth down with any beverage, it will increase the burning feeling. Eat naan and raitha, they will help you, a little anyway.
Masala
MASALA means that the dish is well spiced and very tasty, some think hot. If you like the sharp taste of masala but not burning mouth please ask the waiter to bring you a slighter spiced version.
