Decided to do the AYCE for llunch as it's the best way to sample a number of dishes. It was the right move. The Chicken Tiki Masala was spiced just right, with the Chicken being so moist. Same could be said for the Goat Curry with the Chicken Pandori being the third protein and very good. Vegetable Pakora was the winner (for me) as I soaked all that goodness with their Naan. Having the ability to start my meal with a salad (all fresh) topped with their dark brown sweet sauce added to my delight as to this lunch. The Yellow Dal fry was also excellent. Finished with the Gulab Jamun and their tea to mark my best meal in the city.

Came here for the lunch buffet on a Friday. The spread was basic, with one meat curry(chicken tikka masala) tandoori chicken and a couple vegetable options. Chai was on offer and it was fine. As I sat down, I noticed the AC was not working that well. Service was okay and the waitress was friendly, but seemed to struggle with the few tables. At $19.99, the value proposition is just not there. I get that it is in the middle of Baltimore. However, Fogo on the other side of the building has a lunch salad bar special at $18 and they have plenty to offer.

I popped into this warm little restaurant while in town for a conference. The chicken junelly was, hands down, the best meal I've had in over a year. Affordable prices and large servings, too! The service was quick, warm, and friendly - I immediately felt like family. I highly recommend stopping in if you're around the harbor.

Back again--this time for the buffet at the "other" locally-owned Mt. Everest. This one in a glitzy chain area at the Inner Harbor (NOT Hampden). Service and food do not disappoint! The buffet has all the Indian/Nepalese favorites that you normally wouldn't eat at one time. Going back two times (and a third, for dessert), I was able to get rice with some of my faves, such as saag, masala, tandoori chicken, and vegetarian pakora. I enjoyed the ability to make a small salad of fresh carrots, cucumbers, peppers and lettuce (with choice of the usual dark brown sweet or green sour sauces). Lastly, I had some kheer and homemade sugared doughnut holes (gulab jamun) in silky sweet syrup. Yum!It was quiet on a Monday afternoon during the winter season, but the always on-point service and loungey background music give the feeling of an enjoyable and busy evening just about to begin...(Note: Free or metered parking "ain't" easy around these dang busy downtown Inner Harbor streets, but I found convenient metered spots just off Pratt and across from the restaurant--otherwise, just rideshare it with some friends!)

I came in for the lunch buffet. It was full of freshly cooked dishes. They offered 6 or 7 main dishes and plenty of sides. It was a little bit on the bland side but I understand that buffets are for the masses so there is that. The paneer was outstanding! The naan was also served fresh and hot. I really liked that to soak up some of the sauces. It was an equal split of vegetarian and meat dishes. Sadly on my visit there were out of papadam. The tea was very flavorful. I would definitely be a regular here if I was a local. Recommended.

Recently opened. All new. Beautiful restaurant one block from the Inner Harbor. Food was amazing!!! Onion kulcha was enough for a table and incredible. Lamb vindaloo was mild (as I asked for it) creamy and lamb that broke apart easily. Service was attentive and caring. There is a lunch buffet. Dinner was excellent.

Clean, friendly, delicious. This was a perfect spot for lunch. The food at the buffet was fresh and tasty. I wish it were in my home town, I would be there often!

Very disappointing indeed ! The first thing that comes to mind is how pedestrian the food actually is---the cooking lacks any semblance of the depth of flavor that any average Indian restaurant likely has in spades. We started our meal with the Samosa Chaat appetizer which was actually decent and far and away the best dish of our meal ---7/10. The Naan was a joke. You can tell a lot about an Indian restaurant based on their Naan and boy was this some god-awful Naan. The Salmon Tikka was the worst offender though. Charred beyond recognition & devoid of any flavor this was perhaps one of the worst Salmon dishes that I've ever eaten.The Tikka masala sauce that it was served with was loaded with sugar and you could literally taste all the artificial colors they added---yup they sure don't skimp on their artificial colors (specifically Red-30 which is the worst color you can possibly add to food). Moving on , we also had the Saag Paneer ---about average, again completely flavorless-- 5/10. Finally we had the Chicken Momos (that I had so much hope for since this was a Nepalese owned restaurant) turned out to be a major dud again 5/10. The chutney that came along with the Momos was basically inedible.Truly shocked The only positive comment I'd say about the restaurant is that the service was prompt and efficient. Our Server was knowledgeable and friendly so good job there buddy. Oh and I completely forgot---the prices ---omg the prices!!!---these were Manhattan prices with Baltimore quality. $20 for Channa Masala, $5 for the most awful Naan imaginable---lord have mercy! For reference these prices rival The Royal Taj in Columbia and as you well know, that is a bonafide upscale Indian benchmark in Maryland. Mount Everest is a very ordinary hole in the wall restaurant in Downtown Baltimore where ( during our meal )2 homeless people came in to use the restrooms---this ain't no fine dining if you know what I mean.All said and done I'm quite confident when I say that anywhere else(Say In Northern Virginia or Montgomery County) Mount Everest would not last more than 6 months ! I'm pretty sure the Afternoon Buffet is a hit with the local workforce but when we went at Sunday 7 pm (on Father's Day no less) the restaurant was completely empty with one party waiting for their takeout order. If you're a connoisseur of quality Indian food then please stay away from this sinking masquerade. Quite simply, the food is awful and an insult to the wonderful flavors of the subcontinent. The shockingly exorbitant prices do not make the experience any better

Very nice hole-in-the wall. Clean environment, and friendly staff. They recommended the buffet and everyone in the family enjoyed something different. The Samosas were my favorite, my daughter loves the two types of rice, and my husband tried every other dish and said they did not disappoint. Large vegetarian selection as well. Son had chicken tenders and fries (bc kids ) and loved them. Also- fresh Naan bread for the win
