Everest Inn, Ashford, Hythe & Blackheath everestinn. co. uk
EVEREST INN
Everest Inn’ s story first began in 2004 when its very first establishment opened in the heart of Hythe to deliver sensational Nepalese and Indian cuisine. Shortly followed by two more branches in Ashford and Blackheath, and with many thanks to give to renowned chef Shanker Pandey who has been an integral part of the restaurants’ award-winning journeys- including being heavily awarded at the Asian Curry Awards- Everest Inn has long been celebrated for its unwavering authenticity and excellence.
The splendid menus here closely echo the seasons, and with all spices created in-house- sourcing the finest herbs and spices and blending them all by hand to ensure each dish is unique- dishes cater to all tastes, whether you’ re a fellow spice connoisseur or prefer things milder, yet still brimming with flavour.
Following the Hythe and Ashford celebrations last year, the devoted team at Everest Inn Blackheath are currently raising a toast to an outstanding 20th anniversary year, marking two decades of this vibrant, community-focused restaurant with a host of special events and wonderful new offerings.
