Award-winning Nepalese and Indian restaurant in the heart of Blackheath Village, combining traditional Himalayan flavours with modern presentation.

The Everest Inn has been a fixture of Blackheath Village for over two decades, serving award-winning Nepalese and Indian cuisine in a warm, welcoming setting directly facing the Heath.

Owners Yadav and Rashmi Rai have built a restaurant that blends the best of Indian and Nepalese cooking, using high-altitude spices and authentic ingredients brought from the Himalayas. Executive Chef Shanker Pandey, a Chef of the Year winner, oversees a kitchen known for its signature vegetable momos, tomato achaar chutney with Timur pepper, and dishes that balance tradition with contemporary presentation.

The menu spans vegetarian, meat and fish dishes, with favourites including Chili Paneer, Saag Paneer, Chicken Biryani and the celebrated Lakeside Fish. The bar offers Himalayan-inspired cocktails, the house Everest Gold Beer, and a thoughtful wine list.

The Everest Inn also caters for private events, weddings and Diwali celebrations, and has previously catered for No. 10 Downing Street and the Nepalese Embassy. The restaurant supports charities both locally and in Nepal, including hospitals and hospices.

With a loyal local following and celebrity fans from Rick Stein to Joanna Lumley, The Everest Inn is one of South East London's most celebrated dining destinations.

Meet the Team

Yadav, Managing Director, at Everest Inn Blackheath

Yadav

Managing Director

Yadav has lived and worked in Blackheath for over 25 years, becoming a well-known and much-loved part of the local community. His journey in hospitality began during his university days, where he worked as General Manager at Chapter Two—an acclaimed modern European restaurant and sister to the award-winning Chapter One in Locksbottom. Driven by a deep passion for food, culture, and people, Yadav followed his heart to Blackheath, where in 2005, alongside his family and a close-knit team, he opened Everest Inn. Since day one, his mission has been to bring authentic Nepalese cuisine and heartfelt hospitality to the village he calls home. Yadav's commitment to the community runs deeper than the dishes he serves. “I’ve always loved being part of the local community—engaging with people, giving something back—that’s the true beauty of running a restaurant,” he says. Over the years, Yadav has cultivated meaningful relationships with Everest Inn’s guests, many of whom he now considers family. “It’s about making people happy, providing quality food, and delivering a service people won’t forget.” And it’s not just about meals—it’s about memories. Under Yadav’s leadership, Everest Inn has hosted hundreds of birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and over 100 weddings. Some couples who celebrated with Everest Inn in their early days are now proud parents, and their children have grown up alongside the restaurant’s journey—some even returning as young adults to continue the tradition. “We hold such joyful memories of being part of your special moments over the years. That’s the true gift of this work—we’ve been honoured to witness your stories and share in your happiness. You treat us like family, and we cherish you as our own.” Yadav’s passion for people, culture, and food has made Everest Inn more than just a restaurant—it’s a home for celebration, connection, and community.
