Everest Chullo: Indo-Nepalese and Malaysian Flavours in Thorndon, Wellington

On Molesworth Street in Thorndon, right in the heart of Wellington, Everest Chullo brings together three culinary traditions that don't often share a menu: Indian, Nepalese and Malaysian. The result is a kitchen that moves comfortably from a rich butter chicken to a plate of Nepalese MoMo to a bowl of Malaysian curry laksa, all under one roof.

A Menu Built on Mixed Traditions

The restaurant describes itself as mixed cuisine with an Indo-Nepalese and Malaysian touch, and its dish list backs that up. Popular Nepalese dishes like MoMo, chilli MoMo, Jhol MoMo and chow mein sit alongside Indian staples such as butter chicken, and the kitchen's own chef specials, including a Gorkhali-style lamb or goat curry and a signature Everest chicken curry. Malaysian dishes bring their own character too, from nasi goreng and mee goreng to beef rendang and roti chanai.

Something for Every Table

The menu runs deep across several sections. Chicken curry delicacies range from chicken tikka masala and chicken korma through to Indo-Chinese-style chicken Manchurian, while lamb curry delicacies cover everything from rogan josh to saagwala and kadai-style preparations. Vegetarian and vegan diners aren't an afterthought either, with a dedicated section of paneer curries, daal makhani, vegetable biryani and mushroom-based dishes.
