"This place is absolutely amazing and became a weekly spot for me. The owners are so friendly warm and kind and will do anything to ensure you have the best time. The atmosphere feels very cosy and relaxed and there is always a great vibe. The food is really good, a nice variety on offer with very fair and affordable prices. I would recommend having the lamb sausage platter. Simply delicious! The range of drinks are amazing as well and there is something for everyone. A staple of Reading food and drink and somewhere I will always come back to time and time again."

"Since we last visited some years ago the Everest has made a real effort with their décor including a new beer garden out front. Lighting inside is decorative and colourful but overall ambience is a little too bright maybe? Our food was very disappointing, we ordered Everest Special Mismas and Mixed Grill Masala as mains. Both were higher priced dishes that were supposed to include prawns but there were none in either dish. The Mismas didn 't look anything like the menu photo but in fairness they do state Photos are for suggestion only: Actual Platters may appear DIFFERENT . The Masala grill was described as medium sauce but our dish was very mild with no trace of chilli heat. The stuffed paratha was undercooked and greasy. Pilau rice and vegetable bhuna side however were both very good. Kingfisher and Cobra are served on draft but both were charged 30p a pint more than the printed menu price it 's gone up was the explanation. Prices overall are fair but I was hoping for authentic tasty food that at least lived up to the menu descriptions."

"It was our first time and it will not be our last. From the time we were shown to our table this experience was divine because of the food , atmosphere and service and that was Harriet who made the evening a wonderful Birthday celebration. I had the London Street Brasserie Lobster Prawn Cocktail. It was by far the best prawn cocktail I have ever had. I loved the addition of avocado which took it to another level. My main was a Seared Bream Fillet , Grilled Octopus. It was accompanied with Isle of Wight Tomatoes , Asparagus , Saute Jersey Royals Avocado Purée. Every element of the dish was perfect and complimented each other. This plate of perfection was on a level named sublime and I finished on a Key Lime Meringue with a Margarita Sorbet. When I ordered this Harriet had mentioned this was her favourite and after I had finished I knew why. It was light , refreshing and the flavours were out of this world. When I return I would easily have all of this again. You have not lived an exciting life until you experienced this amazing restaurant for yourself. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who reads this"

"I used to eat here when it was known under a different name and the new decor is very different, think modern, high class boutique hotel rather than they previous romanticfading nightclub theme.They are accepting very few covers so it was not at all busy but this also meant very few staff so it was occasionally hard to catch the eye of a waiter. The food overall was good and my vegetarian friend was particulalry pleased that they didn't take the usual 'v' option cop outs. I had a passable but not brilliant Chicken roulade which was slightly overcooked but slipped down well with an excellent Riesling. My main course was panfried Salmon and was on a completely different level perfectly prepared and delicious. Portion sizes were reminiscent of nouvell cuisine however and at per head for a set two course lunch its not the sort of place you're going to nip to for a spot of lunch on a regular basis unless you enjoy poor value. The wine list had some good depth and prices weren't terrible but it was clear to see where the profit lies. I understand they are offering cream teas in later afternoon and I'll probably give them another opportunity to empty my wallet as overall it was a very pleasant experience if you are looking for a chance to chat and drink rather than setup for a night on the town"
