Indian restaurant
Everest Nepalese and Indian Restaurant is a delightful establishment that serves delectable and highly recommended traditional Indian/Nepalese cuisine. The proprietor, Raj, is not only an exceptional host but also a skilled chef who creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests. This restaurant readily accommodates vegan dietary preferences without compromising on taste or quality. The food prepared by Raj's wife is of supreme quality, reminiscent of royal feasts.
Raj makes you feel like you have been welcomed into his home and culture. We sampled a few menu items he suggested. Everything was full of flavor and really good. Can't wait to come back for more of that coconut curry!!!

I had a wonderful experience at Everest Nepalese and Indian restaurant in Belmopan. The owner put on quite a cooking show and he made the best masala chai I've ever had. The butter chicken was delicious.

I’m First 1st here in Belize, it’s my 70th country. I found this little restaurant, we decided to celebrate here. It’s best Indian cuisine I ever had, truly homemade. Owner was super nice , such great service. It’s must visit with all the food we have. Biryani and momos is must.

Im a vegan and I Stumbled across this place on accident and I'm glad I did! Im the best vegan chef belize has to offer, so if I say it's good, it's good! The customer service alone and the ambiance is worth me doing a review. Very nice staff, wifi. And the aroma is fantastic. Glad to finally get to order from a place that truly understands my lifestyle and caters to it!

Honestly probably the best Indian/Nepalese food I've ever had. Very authentic. Raj is an amazing chef and extremely welcoming to guests. We had an amazing experience. He easily accommodated our vegan needs and everything was so delicious. The one non-vegan dish I had (chicken curry) was amazing as well. 10/10 recommend this place!!! 11/10 with rice.
Andrea Friedrich — Google review
Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere, truly the best Nepalese / Indian food I have every tasted. This restaurant is an unexpected hidden gem in a parade of street food vendors. Raj and his wife took great pride in preparing the food with love and respect. Everything was cooked from scratch with freshly ground spices. We were made to feel so welcomed and we were treated like honored guest, nothing was too much trouble. We were greeted by Raj's wife who does not speak much English but her warm welcome, kind and beautiful smile, encouraged us to wait for Raj to return. The place was so clean and spotless,we were so glad we stayed for dinner. Thank you!

If you only have one meal in Belmopan, make sure it's at Everest. A hidden gem you will never forget. Incredible food and the owners are wonderful people who work hard to make your experience as special as possible. We got palak aloo, chicken biriyani, chicken curry, lassi, and garlic naan-everything was mind-blowing and portions were huge, way more than we could handle. (When we find WiFi we will be uploading a video of a very special experience the owner Raj gave us!)

One of the best Indian restaurant experiences I've ever had. The owner is lovely, the food a great and super fresh!
Emily Barber — Google review
We hiked two sweaty, scorching km to find this place. The moment the owner saw us, he came out and applied these coloured powders to our faces. He is super enthusiastic and passionate, which is refreshing and infectious. We wanted a vegan meal, and he whipped up quite a feast for us. The food was prepared taking my wife's aversion to spicy food and my love of it into consideration. In the end, we had a mountain of food we couldn't possibly finish, and so had lots of leftovers. My wife thought the dahl was a little salty. The meal as pictured, with chapati, papadum and a pitcher of lime juice, came to BZD$115, which was kinda steep, but again we have leftovers for probably 1.5 - 2 meals, so there's that.

I just ordered and delivered the 20$ fry chicken with fried rice. The chicken and fried rice I think that the from last night. My children eat it and it's not taste fresh and the chicken skin not crunchy, you can see it how it look and the rice is too much oil. You guys you can do better than that. Don't re-sell the food from last night. If I have a car right now I will return it. I'm often buy the chicken from you guys but this is the first time I received the order like this. Don't do that to your customers, please. That's not nice.

Favorite Chinese Restaurant in Belmopan, an but pricey but the food is amazing. The room could definitely use some atmosphere improvement. Would have been nice if they did not have such obnoxious reggaeton music playing so loudly the entire time.

Service and atmosphere was good but unfortunately the food was not. The meat tasted dry and was probably refried, and the rice had a weird smell. It was a disappointment. I only stopped there because I assumed that since the Chon Saan in Belize City was good then this one should be the same🙁

Surf and Turf Restaurant brings a taste of the islands to the capital city effortlessly. With a relaxed ambiance, beach-themed decor, and sand scattered throughout, the restaurant exudes island vibes. Additionally, Surf and Turf is renowned for its delectable conch fritters.

Avoid order and delivery midday during the week. The order takes over 1hour and 30 minutes. Lunch is over by then. Lettus died and fries limp. On weekends you have better chances of getting your meal hot.

???? — Google review
If you have the patience of waiting for an hour and 47 minutes for your meal, this is the place for you. That’s how long it took for my sister and I to get served.The meals are a hit or miss; it can range from bland, delicious to over seasoned. The price is a bit ridiculous for the amount you get served; especially when you can get it elsewhere for cheaper; made in less than 15 minutes and have a consistent taste. When they had just started, this used to be my favourite restaurant in Belmopan but now my opinions have changed. Not really sure what’s going on but I hope it improves. I look forward to that and would write a better review when that happens.

five out of five. Kids age 7 and 3 1/2 found plenty to do. There’s even private play area for kids while the parents have drinks and dinner. Allowing us to relax extra as long as they were in site. The food was great chicken nachos, and pork tacos. Along with a cheese pizza for the kids. Real bar making real drinks not premixed. Local beers on tap.

Someone blessed me with a gift certificate to have dinner with my family as I celebrate my birthday. Coco gardens is a beautiful restaurant, decent and friendly environment, and good music at the background. The food was tasty, delicious, and the service was excellent. The waiters were very courteous and served with smiles 😀 The only thing is this restaurant is not for the poor especially with budgets being cut down due to Covid-19! 😕

We love to try new places but we've been here literally every night for dinner since we discovered this oasis of food and drink! The food is amazing and the cocktails are out of this world!! The bartender's artistry and attention to detail are quite impressive. I hope the owners know how lucky they are to have him on staff. I've tried a different fancy Cocktail every night and I still can't pick a favorite. For food, I highly recommend the chicken smash burger and the queso with mushrooms, though everything we have had has been great. Also, Marielle and Darina are both fabulous waitresses ❤ We also really enjoy the music, which has been different every night. From spanish to reggae to George Straight and Daft Punk it is always enjoyable.

Went here for lunch. They have adequate parking and the layout of the place was nice and open. I do like the care that has been given to keep the grounds clean. The seating was interesting and I liked that as well. Now let's talk food... I was looking forward to trying the food here. Ordering was fine, no problem there. But when the food arrived I was somewhat disappointed. I ordered the spinach and cheese empanadas. What I received was 2 spinach and cheese and 1 ham and cheese empanadas. Once the waitress returned I asked her why my empanadas were mixed. She stated that they had run out of the spinach and cheese. I wasn't told ahead of time and that bothered me. I don't eat pork. I was surprised by the kid burgers size. It looked like a regular size burger for an adult. My daughter was happy with the burger and the fries. The pork chop I was told didn't have any flavor other than the sauce it was bathed in. The tacos were ok. The in consistency with the tacos tortillas was weird as well. Some were corn and some were flour.

Taiwanese restaurant
Simple Life Restaurant, a Taiwanese eatery in the capital city, offers an exquisite Asian dining experience. With its newly renovated outdoor seating area, patrons can enjoy their meal in a vibrant and cozy ambiance. The decor perfectly complements the restaurant's name, creating a small yet lively setting. The menu boasts delectable dishes that leave a lasting impression. Their fried chicken is exceptionally crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside without being oily. The flavor of this dish is truly delightful.
Great location and delicious foods.

The only thing that makes this 4 rather than 5 stars is the limited seating available. It is a boutique-style cafe/restaurant with a delectable menu. My favourite is the Taiwanese Beef Soup.

Small and bright is how it felt to me. I really liked the decor as is matched the name of the place. The food was really good. The fried chicken was amazingly crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside and yet not greasy at all. The flavor of the fried chicken was great as well. The french fries were prepared perfectly to how I would expect them, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The fried rice and the noodles were very good as well. The sandwich was good as well. This is a place I will definitely revisit and recommend.

Nice setting, air conditioning, and nice music. I went a friday evening and surprisingly, it was not busy. One or two customers stepped in every couple minutes. You are able to order from the comfort of your seat, via phone. You get the QR code for the menu and any special request can be entered. In my case, I ordered frapuccino. I personally prefer ice cream on top, not blended and that's exactly how I received it. I really enjoyed the peanut and slushy coffee frappucino. I can say one of the best in Belmopan. I really would like for them to add blubble milk tea on their menu but I'm still satisfied with a frapuccino. I need to go back and try some of their foods. So far, I have only tried their frappucino and jelly tea which was alright too. p.s. Also, you can see your bill on your phone!
