Delicious!! Plenty of parking, nice atmosphere and decorations, and friendly employees! The chow mein dish was sooo flavorful and good (and def has a kick)!! The chicken tikka masala was delicious as well! I also really enjoyed the Mango Lassi and was happy it was only $4!! After eating here, my husband and I had MAJOR food coma!! We napped so long after. We kept joking "what do they put in the food?" But it's def very heavy :0p So you will enjoy your meal, but plan for a nap afterwards! read more

They have the Nepalese food that you want. Solid and nothing wrong. My only complaint is that their momos were not that good, not bad but kinda underwhelming. Still, totally recommend if you are looking for solid Nepalese/Indian food. read more

Well, I csn't say I've ever climbed Mount Everest, but we got a little taste of the experience at this very interesting restaurant. The place looks smaller than it is, with about 50 -seats in the room where we were seated, near the front, and probably another 40 or so in the back. The video playing on a screen on the wall showed climbing expeditions (presumably at or near Everest), to help get diners in the mood. The menu was an interesting mix of Nepali, Indian, and other South Asian items, including at least a few items one is unlikely to see elsewhere (Tibetan bread, anyone?). To start, we ordered the chicken momos, which the menu described as "traditional Nepali dumplings" available I as chicken or vegetable (we got the chicken). Very nice. Next, I ordered the Sherpa Stew, which was a combo of vegetables, dumplings, and spices with a choice of either vegetable, chicken or lamb. I got mine with chicken. Although I asked for a mild spice level, when my stew arrived it was a bit too spicy for my (sissy) palate. Fortunately, the manager was happy to switch it out and bring the no-spice version. That version was very nice, and in such a good-sized portion that I had plenty to take home. The co-diner ordered the Lhasa Chownein, in the vegetable version ( chicken and shrimp are also available), and declared it to be excellent. The place is located iin a shopping center with abindant parking, so the problem of Ann Arbor parking is eliminated. All in alk, a fine dining experience. read more

We met up this time with a couple friends for dinner. Unfortunately, we didn't take any food pictures. Again, the food was just so spectacular. We couldn't put our forks down. The Momo's are hot and fresh, the Tibetan bread is out of this world, and every dish was so exquisitely flavorful. We love the warm vibe here too! So beautifully decorated. This is a definite must try. The staff here is attentive, friendly and courteous. We will return again and again. read more

I checked out the Yelp photos and online menu before I arrived. I ordered the vegetable monos. I was disappointed that my order didn't look like the photos in Yelp or in the menu. Despite that, the flavor of the momos alone was good and the sauce enhanced it. I also ordered the coconut curry with tofu and vegetable chow mein. You can select the spice level - mild, medium, or hot. The curry was rich and flavorful. It paired well with the basmati rice. I meant to order naan to go with it but forgot - next time! The chow mein was good - I liked the different veggies in it. It came with mono sauce but it wasn't needed. I ordered both items medium but the curry was not spicy while the chow mein was. I will be back to try other items. read more

So many restaurants in Ann Arbor hold back on flavor. Everest Sherpa goes above and beyond! You get flavor -- not just spice (if you want spice, it's perfect) but also sweet and savory and sour and herbaceous. You also get presentation -- many dishes come stacked with beautiful edible garnishes that make you feel like you're in a Michelin star restaurant. And the service is killer, too -- everyone was so nice and helpful, even though it was pretty busy AND there was a huge snowstorm outside! I highly recommend: the chili momos (chicken or veggie, you can't go wrong), the Lhasa chow mein (it is not your basic pan fried noodle!), and the lemonade (at other places in A2 it would qualify as a $15 mocktail). After finding out they have affiliated businesses in Lansing & Detroit, I am literally planning out when to visit those locations read more

Really good food, easy takeout. I was from out of town and sometimes it's hard to find something different and local. This place was a great find. read more

I love finding a new local gem, and Everest Sherpa is just such a place. Located in the Oak Valley shopping center, it's easy to miss if you don't know where to look. As you approach the entrance, a sign points the way to Everest Basecamp, a fun touch. We were promptly greeted and seated when we entered. The place is cozy but also has a modern feel to it. After perusing the menu - and so much of it looked good - we decided on the Cumin Lime chicken and the Lhasa Chowmein, with a side of garlic naan. Our friends got some pakora that they were kind enough to share with us, and I loved both of the sauces that came with it. Both dishes tasted amazing, the Cumin chicken had a little zip, the Chowmein was umami and excellent. Portions are generous, so we were glad when they offered us a take home box at the end. In a restaurant rut? Try out Everest Sherpa and you'll find your culinary adventures being elevated to new heights! read more

I'm a fan. The food is delicious. It is not that large, and it can be very busy, so it can be quite hard to get seated, and there's nowhere to wait inside. When they are very busy, service can be a bit slow. read more

They have the recipe for success. In a town like Ann Arbor where so many palates and flavor preferences come together, today I tasted what versatility and control of spices truly meant. Ordered for take out and arrived a little earlier than my order was expected just to take in the restaurant. As soon as I went in, I felt welcomed and was offered seating to wait. The wait wasn't very long, and the colors, decorations, and attention to detail in their organization was visible from their space to their plates. I ordered the Lamb Butayko which came in a higher beef to sauce ratio which I personally prefer. The veggies the ad a special taste and crunch which complemented the lamb perfectly. I ate a lot, but even so still had leftovers for the rest of the week to go along with their fantastic garlic naan. I will certainly be back, but just the fact that they've been around since 2017 speaks louder, and tastes even better! read more

Still would give this place six stars if I could. Have been visiting for 7 years and tend to visit at least once every two weeks if not more often for takeout. I tend to like their chicken curries the best- chicken makhani mild if you want something sweet and savory and creamy, and medium chicken makhani if you don't want it too sweet and you want some spice to balance. Their biryanis are good also with more flavor than many restaurants that offer more plain biryani. So they've kind of ruined biryani elsewhere for me. The one downside? If you go when they are busy such as Saturday evening, one hour before the televised football game, they will get your food ready later than expected. This is mainly because they have received 10 to 20 new orders simultaneously so I do not blame them for not being able to get your food ready at the promised 25 min until ready time. But for me, the wait is more than worth it. Just know that if you order when it is busy, which is usually Saturday night but can also include Thursday night or a random week night then you may have to wait an extra 10 to 20 minutes for your food but it will be of excellent and consistent quality and delicious!:) read more

Absolutely love this restaurant! Every dish that I have tried so far on the menu is amazing! Service is friendly and kind. Everest Sherpa has become a weekly must for my wife and I. Highly recommend!! read more

This place is a hidden gem, I always get the coconut tofu curry and it is so good. Please try the ginger fizz drink it is my favorite drink in Ann Arbor. The staff is very nice and always on top of everything. read more

I was craving momos and decided to try Everest Sherpa--it did not disappoint! We ordered the vegetarian fried momos and chili momos, both of which were absolutely delicious. The fillings and flavors were spot on and completely satisfied my cravings. We also tried the Butayko and Lhasa Chowmein. While the Butayko was a bit too spicy for me, the Chowmein was fantastic, with noodles cooked to perfection. The restaurant has a nice open seating area with plenty of tables and colorful napkins, creating a charming and cozy vibe. Although we stuck to vegetarian dishes that evening, I was happy to learn they also serve halal meat--I'll definitely try that next time. I loved this spot and have already recommended it to everyone I know near Ann Arbor! read more

Cute restaurant in a strip mall. Service was nice. The chili chicken momo was really good, the sauce it was sautéed in was reminiscent of a gobi Manchurian style sauce. Coconut tofu curry was good and light. Prices were reasonable. read more

Definitely one of the top Indian food places as far as food goes in Ann Arbor. Their service was okay but the food did take longer to come to the table. The ambiance was nice and I enjoyed coming here. The food was a little overpriced in my opinion but it's really amazing food. read more

Good food quick service. I've eaten here a few times and I keep going back. It's just a little far from where I live to make it a favorite. But if you are on the west side of A2 go for it! read more

Just passing through and decided it's momo time. YeLP actually recommended this spot. 4-1/2 stars. Nice call. They were right. My favourite was the chili but the rest of the table stuck with vegetarian fried momos, which I admit were a pleasure. The fillings exploded with flavour and things were not over spiced. With the exception of the Butayko. Too much for my blood. I love their expansive menu. Vegetarians and Vegans alike should be pleased with the selections available. The price isn't the best but fair for the quantity of food. The dining area is open and not the biggest area. Maybe a couple dozen guests? Service is professional and friendly. Atmosphere is inviting and comfortable. This goes on the list to try again. I overheard compliments on the Lahasa chowmein and the Sherpa Stew. Will be trying those on the next visit. 04/25 read more

Everything was great! The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing! I love how they clearly mark the vegan options on the menu. We were so excited to try Himalayan food, so we ordered a lot and took half home. We got chili vegetable momos (you need to get these, amazing!), samosas, pan seared tofu dinner, and they were able to accommodate and make Butayko vegan, using tofu instead of paneer. To accompany the dishes, we got aloo paratha and garlic naan for my husband (not vegan). Everything was very flavorful and fresh. We will definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

Went for lunch. It wasn't busy when we arrive, but got busy after we ordered. We had chicken chili momos,samosas and chicken poly something (like tandoori chicken but boneless) It was all delicious! Came out fast and hot. The servers were kind and smiled a lot. I would definitely go back and look forward to it. After dinner they gave me a Sherpa tea on the house. It was kinda like a chai tea, but way better. Reminded me of a sweet rife milk. read more

What a great place to dine. They feature a bend of Oriental, Indian and of course dish's from Nepal. Outstanding flavors and a selection of beverages that will stimulate your taste buds. Service was great and attentive. The decor and interior of the restaurant is extremely clean. Quite frankly we can't wait to go back. read more

Ordered to go on a Tuesday evening. Got food here for the first time and my mind is blown. I'm always cautios about eating from Indian restaurants since I have very little tolerance for spice. Everything we ordered was well on the true mild side and for the first time I enjoyed all the aromatic flavors. The steamed chicken momo was fantastic and I was pleasently surprised by the packed flavors from the vegetable pakora. I ordered the lamb biryani as well and it tasted amazing with the raita sauce. It would not be a complete meal without a mango lassi, which I can only say positive things about. Would recommend and will be returning in person next time to try more food items and get a full experience. read more

Still one of my top spots in Ann Arbor. The food is amazing. Service and employees are so kind and welcoming. Love the restaurant. My go to is the chicken tikka masala with some garlic naan. Delicious! Have gotten the momos several times (prefer the fried option). The lime chicken specialty dish is very tasty. Have also tried the stew and lo mein. Everything is good! I love the Sherpa tea as well. Get yourself a cup! read more

The food was pretty good, and so was the service. They seem to have a steady stream of patrons, which is always a great sign! We had the chicken momos, both steamed and fried, vegetable biryani, Nepali Khaja, chicken makhani, chicken butayko, and garlic naan. Everything tasted really good, nothing to complain about. No dish was a standout. If we are back in Ann Arbor, we'd go again! read more

It has been a very long time since my last visit. Wonderful Nepali food with Indian specialties too! I went the Nepali route today. I had the curry chicken coconut corn chowder, chili chicken momos, and Lhasa chicken chow mein. The soup was very flavorful albeit a little salty. The Lhasa chow mein was unique, had a great flavor, and was very enjoyable. However, the star of the show was the chicken chili momos; just fantastic. And a great cup of Sherpa chai to finish my meal. I will return to try other items on the menu and will get the Sherpa stew for which I have enjoyed before and is fantastic. read more

Family wanted Indian food but I was not sold as it tend to be pretty heavy. Tried this place out and it was delicious and many healthier options. Portions were medium. Excellent mango chicken salad and coconut corn soup. Onion Naan. Read was excellent. Tandoori chicken is tasty but not the standard Indian dish. Will definitely return. read more

Yummmm! Brought our daughter her for her birthday, she loved it all!!! Everything was on point. Dishes we're full of flavor, this was the first time we tried chow mein at an Indian place and wow! Would definitely recommend- we got ours with shrimp, and it was perfect. Place was pretty spacious, clean and the staff was friendly, food came out pretty quick. I would recommend this place for sure! read more

We recently discovered Everest Sherpa. We've only ordered takeout so far, but Everest Sherpa has replaced our previous favorite Indian restaurant in Ann Arbor. Our adult children have enjoyed everything they've ordered, and my wife and I have as well. Our favorites (so far) are the Paneer tikka masala, Dal makhani, Chicken Tikka masala, and Chicken biryani. Our daughter also loves the Mango lassi! The food has been ready for pickup at the time indicated on the online order, and everyone is very friendly! read more

Food was excellent. Service was OK would definitely go back. There's many things on the menu that I want to try yet.

Food taste great. Spice level was perfect. However the service sucked. The dishes came out one by one instead of all together and the staff was not attentive. Had to multiple times grab the attention to get a refill or any other item. read more

Food was great!! A little too spicy but I guess that was to be expected Really good service Ambience was good too! read more

I used to love this place, but the last time I stopped in service was very slow because many of the staff were gossiping behind the bar (VERY loudly, might I add). The food wasn't as good as I had remembered it either. Not bad, just very sweet. I also ordered dumplings to go and they charged me for a large order (and gave me a large order) when I only ordered a small. I hope it was an accident but felt kind of shady to upsell me without me knowing. I do love that their menu is very clearly labeled with dietary restrictions. Makes ordering very easy. read more
