Everest Cuisine - Rapid City

My family and I decided to try out the only South Asian restaurant open in Rapid City on a Monday, and we were pleasantly surprised. Despite my initial skepticism about finding Indian food in South Dakota, the dishes were quite delicious. Some of the dishes needed a bit more salt for my taste, and the overall spiciness level was on the milder side (if you prefer spicier food, I suggest requesting extra spice). The main downside was the ambiance of the restaurant itself - the AC was not working and it was a sweltering 105° on the day we visited. Additionally, the restaurant was not very aesthetically pleasing and there were flies buzzing around. However, the quality of the food made up for these shortcomings and I would still recommend this restaurant, especially if you are looking for good food near Mount Rushmore.

The buffet at this restaurant is absolutely delicious and well worth the price. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. The butter chicken is exceptional and a must-try. I will definitely be returning soon!

Delicious food and loved the tandoori roti, fried momos, chilli chicken, masala chai. Highly recommend the masala chai! Nice and quick service. Plenty of parking.

This is our new favorite spot in Rapid. The food was flavorful, filling, and overall delicious. The naan is the best we've had. Service was impeccable and they were kid friendly. P.S. To the lady customer from Florida who berated the owner because the food didnt have any flavor 1. You're wrong 2. You should be ashamed of yourself, I've never had a meal so terrible that I would publicly yell at the wait staff. 3. I'm so sad you work in higher education, you handle yourself poorly and are a pathetic excuse of a role model. The owner handled the complaints professionally, kindly, and calmly. Remade the food and even chatted up the mean lady. I can't speak highly enough of this restaurant.

Best buttered chicken I've ever had!! Very nice staff too
