"Western Washington is a competitive place to open an Indian restaurant, with plenty to choose from. And sadly, a significant amount of them can be mediocre at best. Burien may be slightly out of the way from the more well-known places, but it is well worth the trip. Royal Everest successfully showcases the diversity of the Indian culinary landscape by offering everything from momos (a dumpling eaten in the Himalayas, Nepal, and Tibet) as well as the more well-known fare of the plains region, such as curries and tandoori. But the quality and authenticity is what sets Royal Everest apart. Wherever the curries are this colorful, you can be sure the food is good." - Laura LeMoon
