Mt. Everest Cafe

Food was solid enough to make me come back- unfortunately the weird service will keep me away from trying it out a second time. Older woman greeted us (party of 2) and asked "menu or buffet" and we said menu...
then proceeded to wait at least 10 minutes in the dark as we felt more and more awkward.
A man brought us water.
We waited a few more minutes before giving up on ever receiving menus or ordering drinks and settled for water and the buffet.
Samosas were lovely, curries were pretty decent, naan was average, dahl soup was good, rice pudding was good.
We never did see the older woman who seated us again- another younger server refilled our waters once.
And a second younger woman brought us our check and said "thank you so much, have a good night" and that was the most interaction we saw in this restaurant.
I'm generally a forgiving person after working in food service for 8 years myself, but this was kind of a bummer for a $40 meal.
The weirdest part was watching everyone around us receiving menus, drinks, and being asked how their food was while we were ignored.
Tried to flag a server a couple of times but no one even made eye contact so we ate, paid, and left.

We love coming here!! Sonam is very nice and the food is bomb.
Buffet is fresh and has all the variety you'd want, I cannot even DESCRIBE how good the samosas are.
This spot seems very slept-on in FoCo but it's totally worth it! I would love to see it get busier in here ☺️

Very disappointed with two orders of naan bread we received today.
They are black burnt.
I don’t understand how they could still give these to customer to eat.
I hope they will not do this anymore in the future!
