Base Camp Cafe - Chicken mo mo, sweet potato chhoila

Base Camp Cafe

You're from the Himalayas and you somehow find yourself in the US. Of course you'll open a…read morerestaurant here on the US Northeastern seaboard in the beauty of the Appalachian mountain range. I believe there are 4 Nepalese restaurants in the region and other than this, I've not yet been to one before. There are 2 in Burlington, this one is at Dartmouth College in Hanover and the fourth is in Quebec. What a special experience to visit this Kathmandu-style, Nepalese restaurant. The Base Camp Cafe is in the basement of a Dartmouth campus building. Getting to it is tricky if you need the elevator but go through the Mexican restaurant and down their back hallway to get to it. Everyone reviews the Base Camp Cafe's most famous app: the Mo mo's and with good reason. Our mo mo chicken dumplings were not like the Asian steamed dumplings we are used to. They are so much better! The outside of the dumpling is more like a thick wonton soup noodle with multiple layers. Sooo good! The heart chicken flavor is clean and satisfying. There are notes of cilantro apparent in the center. The golden lentil dal soup, on the other hand, was deflating. It was mainly a broth with tiny bits of lentils and not much else. It was more like eating a curried chicken broth with a lentil paste vs. a hearty soup full of lentils. The red chili curry at spice level 5 is delicious. I chose the veggie curry and it has good heat, not too intense. The tomato flavor in this curry is strong like a sun ripened tomato paste. The veggies in it are delightfully firm and crunchy. The gigantic bowl of stir fry noodles are similar to al dente fettuccine vs. a rice pasta. They have an easy smokey flavor. I requested a side of hot sauce. What an impressive first tasting experience! I can only compare it to if you could taste a crystal lake, it is like this. There is a pure, clear flavor that hits your taste buds first. Like water but condensed. Then the heat builds and builds. And continues to build minutes after. The dark green sauce gracing the top of our rice is also an experience. It's more rich and - again - condensed than any hot Asian green chili sauce I've had. It is at least made of cilantro and avocado, but also a tiny amount of jalapeño with olive oil. Absolutely loved it! I do not know exactly how to write this but there was a bit of a spiritual cleansing here and I'm not talking about digestive. Later in the evening we just felt more relaxed and positive from the high mountain peak dining recipes and exotic wall art. It's as though any lingering negative vibes fled and headed back to the hills. The service at the Base Camp Cafe is earnest, efficient and kind. Requests are met with sincerity and smiles come easily here.

Authentic Nepalese cuisine. The real deal. Great ambience…read more Would highly recommend it.

This was EXACTLY what my hubby and I needed after a LONG, TIRING, excruciating day of moving in the…read morefrigid cold of winter!!!! You know the food is going to be fantastic in a no-frills, simple, homey atmosphere like you'll find at Sherpa Kitchen. Our water came in THE CUTEST little cups, and our server was QUICK to refill them and get our orders in. Loved them, bless their heart for taking care of that whole restaurant with grace, professionalism, and pep in their step. And BOY were we hungry we started off with the vegetable samosas (chefs kiss...perfect and crispy and full of spice and fluffy potato!) and...drumroll please...the beef momos....which have simply STOLEN my heart. The beef was perfectly seasoned and juicy and the sauce was the icing on the cake! We followed up with chicken tikka masala (NOT your average...way more complex and tasty! Sometimes chicken tikka masala just tastes like tomato sauce, a little curry powder, cream, and a broken heart. The one at Sherpa Kitchen, however, blew every other chicken tikka masala I've ever had right out of the water) and chicken saag. The chicken in both dishes was some of the most tender chicken I've had it my life. It fell apart on the fork and soaked up the curries SO nicely. By golly. I know I'm not giving as much attention to the saag, but I swear to you, it was special, hearty, perfectly spiced, and the spinach really shone through without overwhelming the spice blend! The roti was phenomenal (step aside, naan, there's a new flat bread in town), and I truly cannot say enough good things about this meal. My one complaint...I should have ordered a mango lassi!!!!!! Guess I'll just have to go back tomorrow...and the day after that...and the day after that Happy Boxing Day to all!

Excellent food and service, and reasonably priced. We'll return in the future. (Characters,…read morecharacters, characters)
