The future site of Mount Everest Nepali and Indian Cuisine in Strawberry Square
Harrisburg diners will soon have a new cultural cuisine option downtown.
Mount Everest Nepali and Indian Cuisine plans to open a new restaurant in Strawberry Square later this year, filling a gap in the downtown food scene, according to a Monday press release.
“I’m really happy to get this space,” said Shree Paija, who co-owns the business with Sarita Lama. “There is no Indian food available in downtown Harrisburg, and folks need an Indian/Nepalese food option.”
Mount Everest will be the owners’ second restaurant location. They currently operate Khana Indian Bistro in Hershey.
The new restaurant will be located in Strawberry Square at 19 N. 3rd St., with entrances along 3rd Street and inside Strawberry Square. The 2,200 square-foot space previously housed Fresa Bistro and later Real Elite Buffet.
Following minor interior updates to the space, Mount Everest is slated to open in November. A ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony will be announced.
“Strawberry Square and the Shops on 3rd are a center of activity, and Mount Everest will bring back a popular Indian dining choice, adding to our already robust collection of food options,” said Brad Jones, CEO of Harristown Development Corporation, which owns Strawberry Square.
