Gluten-Free Nepali Food in Helsinki

At Everest Ravintola in Katajanokka, almost all our dishes are gluten-free — except for our naan bread. Authentic Nepali and Indian flavors, family-cooked since 1997.

When the Shrestha family opened Everest Ravintola in 1997, they wanted every guest to feel at home at the table — including those with dietary restrictions. Most of our dishes have always been naturally gluten-free, made with rice, lentils, and spices rather than wheat. Today, that's something we deliberately preserve. Our kitchen practices keep gluten contamination minimal, and our menu marks every gluten-free dish with a clear (G) tag so you can order with confidence.

Our gluten-free practices

All of our food is gluten-free except for naan bread. Our chefs prepare gluten-free dishes with care to minimise cross-contamination. If you have coeliac disease or severe gluten intolerance, please let us know when reserving — we'll take additional precautions. We are not a fully certified gluten-free kitchen, so for the most sensitive cases, please discuss your needs with us before ordering.
