Everest Tandoori

Everest Tandoori is one of Retford's longest-running Indian-and-Bangladeshi restaurants, occupying a Grove Street shopfront a short walk from the central Market Square and a couple of doors from the Topkapi kebab house in the small Grove Street evening-food cluster. The kitchen runs full restaurant service in the evening alongside collection and delivery, with the dining-room trade as much a part of the operation as the takeaway side — uncommon among Retford curry houses, which tend towards takeaway-only formats. Reviewer sentiment across Tripadvisor and Yelp is steady across a long review pool, with the tandoori-grilled meats and the chef's special biryanis singled out as the standout items; vegetarian and vegan sections are clearly marked and reviewers note the kitchen takes them seriously rather than treating them as afterthoughts. The dining room is one of the few proper sit-down restaurants in central Retford and handles reservations as well as walk-in trade. Halal kitchen, debit and credit cards accepted.
