Our Story

Four decades
of flavour

Everest has been Sheffield’s premier balti house since 1978 — a family kitchen built on authentic spice, an honest tandoor and a proper welcome.

Who we are

A family kitchen, four decades deep

It started in 1978 with one tandoor, a handful of family recipes and a corner of Chesterfield Road. Nearly half a century later, Everest is still here — still independent, still run by the same family, still grinding its own spices every morning.

We’ve never chased shortcuts. Every balti, biryani and tandoori dish is cooked to order, the way it always has been. That’s why generations of Sheffield diners keep coming back.

Our journey

How we got here

1
1978

The doors open

Everest opens on Chesterfield Road with a clay tandoor, a family recipe book and a simple promise: proper, freshly cooked food.

2
1980s

A Sheffield favourite

Word spreads across the city. The balti becomes a local institution and the tables rarely stay empty.

3
2000s

The next generation

The family passes the recipes down — same spices, same standards, a few new dishes on the menu.

4
Today

Still going strong

Fully licensed, still independent and still family-run — 47 years on and cooking every dish to order.

What we stand for

Done properly, every time

Freshly ground spices

We grind and blend our own masalas in-house — nothing pre-made, nothing from a jar.

Clay-oven tandoor

Charred, smoky tandoori meats and fresh naan, straight from the traditional clay oven.

Fully licensed

A proper licensed bar — wines, beers and spirits chosen to sit beautifully with the food.

Family-run since 1978

Independent and proudly Sheffield — the same family, the same welcome, four decades on.

In the kitchen

Where the flavour begins

Our chefs have spent a lifetime at the tandoor. Meats are marinated overnight, spices are toasted and ground fresh, and every curry is finished by hand over the flame. It’s slower — but it’s the only way we know how to cook.
