About Mount Everest Deli & Grocery

Tucked away at 5609 Myrtle Avenue in Ridgewood (near the Flushing border), Mount Everest Deli & Grocery is a charming Nepalese convenience store that has quietly become one of the best spots in Queens for South Asian snacks and home-cooked comfort food . The space is small and unassuming—shelves lined with spices, basmati rice, and imported groceries—but the real magic happens at the giant flat-top grill and fry station near the checkout counter . The star of the show is the egg-and-cheese paratha wrap, which The Infatuation calls "the closest thing to a guaranteed good morning you can get in this city" . Other must-tries include the cheesy momo paratha wrap (dumplings wrapped inside bread, and yes, it works), chicken jhol momo (steamed dumplings in a spiced broth), samosa chaat, and chicken biryani . The masala chai has been called "heavenly and authentic" by multiple reviewers . With a stellar 4.9-star rating from over 450 reviews on Uber Eats and DoorDash, customers consistently praise the food as "amazing," "fresh," and "worth much more than what they charge for" . There's no seating inside, but just across the street, a small park with benches offers the perfect spot to enjoy your haul .
