"Taste From Everest hides in plain sight, among several notable Indian restaurants on a stretch of Lexington Avenue in Kips Bay. There's an Indian section of the menu, and a steady stream of takeout chicken tikka orders, but we like to dine in—like the weekly regulars in the front window—and let the server take the wheel. Get a proper spread of plump, thin-skinned momos, life-affirming cinnamon- and cardamom-scented duck curry, and a plate of lamb chops, which arrive at your table still sizzling under a layer of slightly charred red onion, and cilantro." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim
