Welcome

Everest stands 8,848 metres high, and this restaurant on Union Street takes its name from that number.

Behind a smart blue shopfront, 8848 cooks the food of Nepal alongside the dishes of India, in a warm dining room a short walk from the west end of the city centre.

The chefs trained in Nepal and India, and the menu brings the flavours of the Himalaya to Aberdeen alongside familiar favourites: fragrant biryanis, rich curries, naan straight from the oven and beautifully plated starters. It was named best casual dining venue in Scotland at the Scottish Entertainment and Hospitality Awards in 2024, and is in the British Indian Good Food Guide's top 100 for 2025.

The restaurant opens every afternoon and evening, and it is wise to book a table at the weekend.
