NAAN FAILURE IS NAAN NEGOTIATION-ABLE. Overall I was pleased with our take out order and experience. I'm conditioned to venture into strange places finding awesome middle eastern, Indian and Ethiopian food. I had Hope. That was not the case with this joint. Tables not bussed and a half eaten meal sitting behind the counter kinda put me off... Run down and gross place inside. Do not eat in, rather take out. The samosas were good, and the rice was good, the tikka masala sauce was an odd color but still good. The naan was dried out and hard to chew. So I simply won't be back based on the naan failure. The gal at the counter was definitely nice. I kinda chuckled after the experience. My gut was in good shape the next day. My fellow adventurers of ethnic foods know what I mean. read more

Not impressed. I've wanted to try this place, so got a delivery order. The papads were burnt, not edible. We ordered cheese naan, and got regular naan (with no cheese). The saag paneer was gritty; I get spinach is a gritty vegetable, but it needs to be blanched for saag - disappointed. The buttered chicken was okay - not great, but passable. Also, the next day, shall I say, um, digestion issues. I get that Indian spices can wake up the insides the next morning, and I'm used to that. But this was not that. Something was off. IF someone at this restaurant actually READS this and offers something, I may try it again, as one experience may not have been enough to judge. If not, buh bye. Lots of Indian food in NoCo. read more

Oh dear! This restaurant says it was voted Best Indian Food in Longmont. Perhaps it used to be better. The server was charming, and that was literally the only good thing. Shabby decor Tough chicken Virtually no paneer in the saag paneer, which tasted odd The papri chaat was inedible; it was spicier than anything my spice loving companion had ever eaten. And the wafer was not good My lassi was room temperature This is the worst Indian restaurant in Longmont. read more

This place is definitely a little hole in the wall - located in a strip mall by a Thai restaurant and laundromat, and next to an urgent care and pet dental facility. I was in Loveland for the start of the week and craving some Indian food, so after a quick Yelp peruse to see close-ish spots that were open on a Monday, I made the 20 minute drive south to check this place out. I was greeted by (what appears to be the owner on other reviews) the lovely Laxmi and seated immediately in a cracked booth by the window. Their menu was expansive and I ordered three dishes with the plan of taking some home for leftovers - Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Saag and Baigan Bharta, all medium spice. They do NOT mess around with spice here! My medium was SPICY in all of the best ways. My nose was running after the first two bites. Everything was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I don't know why the chicken tikka masala is bright neon pink (a little disconcerting, honestly), but it was absolutely delicious with chunks of tender chicken that had obviously been seared perfectly before going into the sauce. Laxmi was prompt and made sure I never was in need of water refills, and was quick to get my to go boxes when I was finished. I had leftovers to last for three meals and looked forward to having to wipe my nose each morning I opened up the packaging for some more spicy breakfast! read more

What a fantastic find today while shopping! Clean, quiet, authentic Indian/Nepalese cuisine. I'm going to share this with everyone I know! I had the lunch vegetarian platter. Don't let the size of the bowls fool you. This was the perfect amount of food for lunch! And it comes with rice pudding for dessert! They've been here 14 years...and I'm just finding them now! Worth the trip! read more

I have been to the Everest restaurant several times now for lunch so it makes sense for me to finally write about their food. My favorites so far are the Butter chicken and the Everest mixed grill. One of my go to Indian meals is Butter chicken which I have had all over the states and in India. The Everest makes a tasty Butter chicken. Their mixed grill is also good to go if I am in the mood for a larger meal. It is a mix of tandoori shrimp, chicken and lamb and hits all the right spicy and tasty notes. If you want some solid Indian food and great service this coZy restaurant will make you a happy eater! read more

Love this food!!! Take out or dine in, it is awesome. For our limited dining choices in Firestone, CO, we are lucky to have Maya Everest.

This place is so good. One of the best Vindaloo ive had. My wife had the lamb biryani. If you are in the area stop here. The owner is also sooo nice! read more

Best Indian food in town! Love it every time. Love the butter chicken & their veggies! Yum!!! read more

The naan was quite disappointing, but we picked it right on time and the lamb saag was yummy. The shrimp saag still had the shells on the shrimp which was hard to deshell once covered in saag.. Good, but not great overall. read more

We just moved to Longmont and have been ordering take out from some of the local restaurants. I probably would not order from here again. My husbands tikka masala was good but my food- one of the entree sample plates- came out cold and pretty bland. Also the samosas didn't come with any sauce. The woman working seemed really nice so maybe the experience would have been different had we dined at the restaurant. read more

What a gem! This place is amazing!! We ordered the Lasooni Naan, Paneer Tikka Masala (medium plus spice) which comes with basmati rice, lamb seekh kebab, and their coconut chai drink. Everything was absolutely delicious. The Tikka was so flavorful, thick, and spicy! The paneer was perfectly cooked. The naan was so good, as was the lamb. Such rich spices and flavors. The drinks are delicious and the water tastes great. The service is wonderful as the waitress was so kind! We absolutely loved our experience here and will be back next time we are in Longmont. read more

Had food delivered through Yelp/Grubhub. The vegetable momo was excellent. The mushrooms in the mushroom tikka masala were rubbery, maybe old? I was surprised to receive only one naan for $3.50. read more

Firestone needed this! My wife and I heard about this business coming to town. We had to try it right away. We loved it right away and have gone back once a week (at least). A must try! The food is absolutely spectacular, everything, all of it. Ignore the bad reviews about pick up, I've done it plenty and it's been a nice easy experience every time. They even helped my wife load a particularly large order to her car for her! read more

This is such a great place- Lakshmi and her husband are authentically sweet and welcoming. My favorite thing to get here is the thukpa soup: tasty, soft wheat noodles in an indescribably delicious, cinnamon-rich broth, with carrots, broccoli, ginger root... so yummy! They grind their own spices here, make their own tomato sauce to go in tomato-based dishes- these folks really care. read more

Flavorful food in a laid-back atmosphere. Good service and the food arrived quickly. I've had lunch here twice and will return.

This is my favorite Nepalese/Indian restaurant in town! I love their Baingan Bharta the most, but it's our family's favorite go-to spot in town when we're just needing a comfortable lunch spot to eat quick, amazing food, as they have the lunch buffet every day of the week they're open. Their catering size portions and prices are great as well! Beyond the food, though, is the familiarity and comfortability the family that runs it fosters with its customer-base! I can't remember a time I was there when I didn't hear multiple guests come after us get greeted by name and a question about how [whatever key things are happening in their life] is going. It's hard to beat their balance of quality, convenience, flavor, and comfortable experience... I'm so happy they're here in northern Longmont! read more

Best saag I've ever had!!! I got vegan and no spice with tofu. They even took extra time to make sure my order was delivered to the right place. It was so ridiculously good! Can't wait to have it again read more

We've been here a few times, this is our neighborhood Indian restaurant and I can't say enough good things about them. They are always attentive to my dietary restrictions, have delicious food and have never had bad service. Highly recommend the Samosa chat. I've never seen this place too busy, which honestly, is a crime. This place could be packed if more people knew how good it is. read more

Food tastes good but this is NOT a good color. Why are you adding food color to your entrees? Tikka masala shouldn't look like a puréed strawberry. It's pink!! read more

Unfortunately although the server was welcoming, we found the tables to be greasy, and overall unpleasant atmosphere so we left.

I MUST BE AN IDIOT ! ! ! ! YES, I certainly started my Yelp review of Everest stating those words && as you can see with the 1 star I just gave them...well, fellow yelpers, you already know this ain't gonna be no love story. Yesterday was my birthday and all I wanted was something good to eat. Delivery was top priority because we just popped open an expensive bottle of champagne. I initially wanted sushi and started to place an online order @ East Moon Asian Bistro. My total was about $30 and the pop up said that it wouldn't be here until about 45-50 minutes, I just said screw it and looked elsewhere. Indian sounded exciting and different, plus I had previously mentioned to my hubs that I saw ads on a few that deliver in the area. I yelp'd, I googled, I ordered over the phone! Pretty simple, really. I even asked if they were still delivering since it was about 8:15pm and she said, "I think so." Was that a warning sign I didn't pick up on? SO, an hour and ten minutes later I finally get a call from the delivery service they use. The guy said that he was lost. Turns out they didn't even have my address right (which I repeated to the lady over the phone). I lead him to me for about ten more minutes. When I gave him my money (a hundred) he went to his car for another 5 minutes and didn't even have proper change when he came back to my door. He handed me 5 twenties and said that was all he had. MIND YOU my husband is PISSED!!! Way late, had no change, cold food.. isn't it your job to get all this right? He can get angry and I was trying my hardest to get this guy outta here before there was a crime scene. My total was about $35 or $37 (PLEASE SEE THE PICTURE I POSTED) and I should have just given him $40 and said tough shit but being AN IDIOT I gave him $60 and sent him off because my husband was seriously about to go a-wall on a fellah. Hubby was starving! The delivery guy was even trying to call back after that shit-storm of a delivery exerpeince but my husband picked up the phone and the guy hung up. Smooth! Why was he trying to call back in the first place? I tipped this guy $20+ for a whole-lotta nothin'. If I didn't say, "It's my birthday, please, let's just have a good time" to my husband he would have easily said never mind and shut the door on this guy. SO, I'm asking you all to tell me: WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Would you suck it up and cut your losses or call the restaurant and tell them what happened?? I mean, the food was okay but cold, so I can't really judge. This seems to be a delivery problem but on the other hand these are the people your establishment places their trust upon for speedy & professional service. They also didn't get my address correct which isn't the delivery guys problem either (or was it). Everything just sucked all around. I don't even think my food was worth $37, let alone $60. This experience really tainted my opinions on this place and will most likely never dine in or get delivery from Everest again. WWYD? Most importantly, WWJD?! LOL :) read more

Everest Restaurant - Is this & a small to-go cup of mango lassi really worth the $37 they charge for it or the $60 I gave the delivery guy? SMH! - Indian Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

The lunch buffet is still closed due to COVID, which is understandable. I ordered the Saag Paneer. It was some of the best I've ever had! I will definitely be back again soon! read more

This place is amazing!! Their chicken tikka masala is the best I've ever had! I also love the saag paneer and chicken momos. Always great service and I love that they have speedy in-house delivery (as opposed to paying more through GrubHub). I love this place! read more

We only discovered this place after covid. Super glad we did. Their vegetarian meals are incredible and their delivery is quick. If you go for pick-up the people are friendly to a fault. So yeah, really tasty food, nice people, fast delivery time and again. I wish they were open on Tuesdays but not gonna knock off a star for that. read more

This is my FAVORITE place to eat in Longmont! Totally the REAL deal! Family owned and family run; I feel like I'm eating at their home; it's so yummy and fresh and full of love! read more

The food here is consistently excellent, as is the service. We often get food to go from here on Saturdays, and I have been loving getting my Vegetarian Thali option with coconut milk instead of dairy. We have tried a lot of Indian restaurants, but this is our favorite! read more

My very favorite Nepalese restaurant! This place has the most delicious food, kind staff, and fantastic chai. I've been coming here weekly for the last 3 years, and they always exceed my expectations. The saag, butter chicken, and chili chicken are some of the best I've ever had! The buffet from 11-2:30 is one of the best food deals in Longmont, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it a great place to sit and talk once you're done eatinDon't miss this one! read more

Everest Restaurant - All available on the buffet! Clockwise from the top: Chili Chicken, Saag, Butter Chicken on rice, Samosa, Onion Bhaji. - Indian Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

This is a small place but the food is good and the service is efficient. We went once for supper and my husband, who hates all things green, loved the saag. We also went for a lunch buffet. The buffet is not stocked with everything but if any item is out, you can ask for them to bring more. Their chai tea is very nice and unlimited refills. They do not have free naan or other bread for eating with and that knocks off a star for me. read more

Everest Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

I was excited to try Everest in Longmont with my great experiences with the location in Co. Springs. Ialso wanted to support a local restaurant during all of this Covid business. THE WORST DELIVERY I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! I'm convinced that my items were old and must have been from the lunch buffet. So disappointed. I paid $38 to have 2 old soggy inedible samosa's (and that is saying a lot if my 9 year Samosa fan won't touch it!), one TINY container of rice and a tiny little blob of Saag, and a half portion of Pan fried noodles were also old and tasted rancid! I complained through delivery service requesting partial reimbursement and was denied. I do not recommend and will NEVER be going back. I will stick with Flavor of India on 5th/Main for sure!!! Such a disappointing experience. :( read more

Conflicted here. Appreciate these folx being an option during COVID and keeping their business afloat with their team paid. Ordered delivery and, candidly, it's so bad it's inedible. I've tried them before and they were ok, nothing to write a review about, but at least you could eat their meal. No such luck tonight. Disappointed to have spent $ on the delivery and food, only to find it tasted so bad (even the chai...) that it's going to waste. This is just one of two times I can remember the food being so bad I didn't stomach it. (Really don't want to let things, especially now, go to waste.) If you don't have something specific here that you know and love, would recommend you try a different local spot. read more

This is BY FAR our favorite Indian restaurant in Longmont after we discovered them about a year ago! They were closed for about a month this summer for their yearly trip to visit family and we were forced to explore other Indian restaurants but THOSE DID NOT FIT THE BILL. We were excited to have them back and enjoyed their food again last night. First, a disclaimer, this is a small family restaurant, it's not TGI Fridays where they hire a ton of student waiters to run around asking you how your food is every two minutes. This place feels like you're visiting them in their home, with family and friends around, bringing out yummy bowls of food. :) That said, the dozens and dozens of times we've eaten there, the service is VERY good, prompt and attentive. So much so that the waitress remembers us, chats with us awhile, and remembers all of our favorite orders, reciting them back to us. There has been a time or two when the waitress wasn't there, and the owner/cook is basically running the entire show (sweet older woman who always says hi to us), cooking the food, answering calls, and waiting on tables. When this is the case, the wait has been longer, but I'm guessing it was due to a lack of help, and it happens so infrequently that I'm only commenting on it because other reviewers have mentioned it. Good portions on the meals, plus if you want extra rice they'll bring it no extra charge. Their garlic naan is without a doubt my favorite at any restaurant. Props to their Korma, my absolute favorite item on their menu, and the Tikka Masala is a perfect blend of tomato and spices. You can absolutely request if you want spicy or mild food, tell them what you want. The chicken and lamb are the tenderest cuts, and the chai is amazing (and refills!) I want to publicly thank Everest Restaurant for their amazing work! THANK YOU! :) read more

Everest Restaurant is an Indian and Nepali eatery that opened fairly recently in north Longmont, in the same strip mall as Thai Kitchen. I finally had the opportunity to try this place out over the weekend. There were five of us and we ordered everything to share. First off, I was impressed by the prices which seemed about a dollar or two less per entree than other Indian restaurants I've been to recently (Flavor of India, for one). We ordered four entrees, two soups, an appetizer, and a couple of (non-alcoholic) drinks. The grand total came to about $55! Not even sure how we pulled that off. Everything was really quite tasty. The chicken korma was a highlight for me. The service was very prompt and friendly. Our waitress was chatty and eager to tell us about the restaurant and how the chef is a culinary artist. (He comes from Nepal, grinds his own spices, and apparently loves to experiment with new dishes on regular basis.) At first we thought the restaurant was small when we walked in, but it was explained later that they do have another room in the back with a bar. **Note: They are still waiting for their liquor license, so they do not serve any alcohol at this time, but they will. I would recommend that if you go during the winter, try to sit away from the door. I was wind-whipped every time someone came or left. read more

We tried Everest tonight for the first time and were not very impressed. We were one of two parties and the waitress waited over 15 minutes to ask for our drink order! She was the only waitress and we would have definitely understood her inattentiveness had it been busy, however there were a total of six customers there at the time. We both got our favorite - Chicken Tikka Masala and asked for it mild (since we're major wusses). It was on fire!!! So much so we could barely taste the food. It had the potential to be good because it was obvious it was authentic Indian. If we could have tasted the chicken, it probably would have been much better. If we had gotten the food or service that we saw in the previous reviews we would be much more apt to go back and recommend it. read more

One of our favorite places in north Longmont, but not for the faint of heart! They do spice right. Hot, but subtle, the vindaloo is with tender lamb and yam and the sag paneer is always good. Try the chat, if you dare! read more

I really want to like this restaurant because it's reasonably priced and very close to my house. But unfortunately the food is only ok, average at best, and the staff is just plain rude. The last two times we went in the lady, who I can only assume is the owner or chefs wife is not pleasant at all. The first time we went we had a Groupon. She basically tossed the tray at me with my change when I asked to have a twenty broken. I leave at least 20-25% tips all the time EXCEPT in that case, she got 15% for being snotty. My friend suggested we go there the other day because she loves the buffet. You would've thought I was requesting something absolutely unreasonable by asking for a menu after taking a peak at the vegetarian buffet options. Again, the same lady being rude. We didn't get our drinks refilled and clearly she couldn't be bothered because she was rolling silverware two tables away. My mom ordered take out from there about a month ago and it was all wrong... chicken in a dish that was supposed to be the vegetarian option, lamb that was supposed to be the chicken and some third dish that was no where near anything we ordered. The samosa appetizer we ordered was correct so I had something to eat with rice. I love Indian food, but I will not be going there again. read more

This "hole in the mall" restaurant is family-owned and operated; we saw several of the family members passing through. Service was attentive even though we were going to the buffet for everything but drinks. The foods on the buffet were tasty, especially the saag (spinach), chili chicken, and spicy chana chaat (chickpea salad). Pretty good chai and very good samosas. The naan (flatbread) was obviously reheated but it seemed to be recently made and so it was still pretty good. I'd give this place 5 stars, but unfortunately like a few of the other buffets in the Front Range area their buffet had "chicken-itis." This is a syndrome defined as an irritation caused by too much chicken. The only meat dishes on the buffet were chicken. Chicken, chicken, and chicken. 3 kinds of chicken. No lamb, fish, seafood, or goat. I already eat a lot of chicken and would appreciate it if there were some other protein on the buffet. read more

The buffet and chai tea is so good, I want to go here every day of the week! Chili Chicken is my favorite, but they only have it two days during the week. This place is like eating at someone's home, so welcoming, and the staff is very friendly! Just tried the Everest Margarita tonight... I think it's the best margarita I've ever had!! read more
