Though food is the star at Everest Cuisine, Chef Sagar and his team feel great about the total experience that transports each guest to the Himalayas in every sense of the word.
As Chef Sagar further explains: “We want our guests not just to taste our cuisine but feel and see it as well. All small details come to be under careful consideration so that they have a true and memorable immersion into Nepalese and Indian culture.”.
From the floor decorations and performances to the attentive service of the staff to those extra touches, Everest Cuisine’s purpose is to give every customer a truly enveloping culinary journey. Some approaches to experiential dining can be seen from:
The Atmosphere
Upon entering Everest Cuisine, the diners are automatically transported into the splendor of the Himalayan region by certain elements of decor. Colorful murals depicting Nepalese landscapes adorn the walls. Ancient Buddhist thangka paintings, artifacts, and folk art complete the setting. The smells and open kitchens, too, fill in the atmosphere to create an experience of culture for the diner.
The Performance
Everest Cuisine offers live cultural entertainment to its guests, on particular nights of Nepalese music, dance, and folklore, without an additional charge. The guests are taken on a tour with drumming traditional beats and whispers from flutes through elegant dance moves narrating stories of the culture in that region. According to Chef Sagar, “These live performances set our cuisine to life by conveying the spirit and soul of Nepalese culture.”.
The Staff
Knowledgeable and personable staff form a significant part of the dining experience, as ensured by Chef Sagar and his team that all employees understand the cultural significance behind cuisine so they can enhance their diner’s appreciation through storytelling and context. The warm hospitality and attention to detail formed a personal connection to make patrons feel honored guests.
The Extra Touches
From spiced tea infusions and handmade paan to the complimentary milk-based dessert offered after every meal, Everest Cuisine utilizes a variety of “sensory triggers” to activate multiple dimensions of a dining experience. According to Chef Sagar, even the smallest details, when authentic to the culture, can have an oversized impact on how guests connect with the cuisine and ambiance. The Menu
Of course, the real journey is on the plate. Imaginative Nepalese and Indian staple dishes are set forth by chef Sagar along with seasonally creative creations using fresh, locally foraged produce. The result is a continually shifting flavor, texture, and experience that zeros in on the totality of Himalayan food.
According to Everest Cuisine’s Sagar, “My vision is to give diners more than just a meal-I want to take them back to the people, places, and stories behind these treasured dishes.” This wholesome vision for experiential dining lies at the heart of Everest Cuisine’s effort to share Nepalese and Indian culture with the world via the universal language of food.
