Momo! Yummy Tibetan dumplings. Great service. Very good bubble tea, lassi and great beer selection.

Truly amazing food. The restaurant itself was quiet and well appointed. It's off the Main Street but very delicious and great service .

Great food served in a delightful quiet restaurant with excellent service and atmosphere.

The people are extremely nice and friendly. The food is high quality and homemade. The inside is a nice dark space.

It's so good. Just listen to all the other reviews and go eat the food and be happy...it's a great addition to the area. We got the lamb special and the chicken special and it was delicious--tender and full of flavor. Can't wait to try the momos! read more

I have only eaten here once but my husband and folks at work eat here often. The dish I had was dreamy!! I know that sounds odd. The service was excellent and the environment was welcoming and comfy. read more

After being subject to mediocre Italian and pub fare here in Cooperstown, we stumbled across this joint tucked away off the street. Half expecting curries from a bag and Trader Joe's samosa's, I was blown away by this spot. The appetizer shrimp, the samosas and the cauliflower app, reminiscent of a Manchurian cauliflower were a shocking surprise. The chicken Tikka we ordered for my subcontinent- adverse mom's taste buds had great depth of flavor, the lamb vindaloo was pleasantly spicy and occasionally had a pleasant crunch of freshly roasted coriander seed and fenugreek that popped in flavor and texture. The yellow daal wasn't the watery soup mush too often found in complacent restaurants, but a distinct profile seldom found in this staple dish. The service was quick, efficient, humble and knowledgeable. For the price point, I was happily surprised when they completely cleared our app plates and silverware in preparation for our mains. We showed up towards the end of service on a quiet night, so I think the naan reflected a tandoori not quite up to temp, but I think that was more of a reflection on our late arrival than what the restaurant would typically offer. Overall, this meal was exquisite in every sense, and this meal was a pleasant surprise here in lack-of-flavor-Cooperstown, USA. read more

Finally something new and unique in Cooperstown! Staff are incredibly responsive and thoughtful. The food is flavorful and came out quickly. A great spot for a business lunch or dinner date. You definitely have to try the momo - Nepalese dumplings- so soft and delicious! read more

The best place to eat in Cooperstown! I'm so grateful and happy that we have such a special restaurant in our little town. The food and service are consistently fantastic. Additionally, my partner is vegan, gluten-free, and nightshade-free. He can comfortably eat off of this menu, which is not the case anywhere else in Cooperstown, and almost nowhere else in Otsego county. read more

Phoenonimal restaurant with the best Momo s! I reside in Cooperstown and frequently order take out due to not being able to dine in. They switch up their menu, which is a plus in my book. Evidently the chef is a Michelin Star one . Absolutely doesn't surprise me! I heard the owners and staff are from Tibet and Napal I believe. Nonetheless, they're a hardworking family and team who I 'm grateful to have opened their awesome restaurant in my little village. Our little town could use a few more international cuisines ;) read more

Great food options and a wonderful atmosphere. I wish it were closer to where I live. The employees were super nice. Definitely want to come back when I can. Recommend the samosas and any saag. read more

Everything is wonderful here - the food, the ambiance, the service. Very likely the best restaurant in all of Otsego county. Every time we come back we are surprised by a new delicious dish. Don't miss out on the Norbu experience if you're in Cooperstown. read more

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN COOPERSTOWN Delicious Indian food that is better than anything I have had in my years living in Manhattan. I had the Lamb special which was incredible! Perfect amount of spice with so much flavor. Terrific local brews. The chef on staff is Michelan star rated. The service was very friendly and helpful. Any time I come to Cooperstown, I will come straight to Norbu. Inside of the restaurant was very clean and comfortable. The tables filled up by around 6:00pm. The restaurant service served everybody promptly and with care. This restaurant deserves so much praise and attention. read more

Had a fantastic dinner at Norbu on Valentine's Day. We opted for their prix fixe special that they were offering for V-Day, and it was excellent. Three courses plus a glass of sparkling wine for $50, and the courses included items like scallops, shrimp, and halibut. This was our first time dining here, and we intend to make it a regular spot when we're in this area. The food was outstanding, both in terms of being delicious as well as different from the usual offerings in this neck of the woods. The portions were generous, making it a good value as well. In addition, service was courteous and attentive. Oftentimes nowadays when we go out to eat (in any town or city), we're left feeling disappointed with so many dining experiences being very expensive yet lackluster in terms of the food and/or service. I'm happy to say that our experience at Norbu was the opposite. My partner and I repeatedly commented to one another how happy we were with our meal. Looking forward to returning soon and often. read more

Went back for lunch. Executive lunch was not offered. The lunches they did have were expensive & did not consist of much. The naan was flavorless this time around. I think I'm done. $75.00 for lunch for 2. read more

We ate in the dining room in the back, arriving when the restaurant had just opened for dinner. The dining room was very nice, with relaxing piano jazz in the background. The staff was friendly and helpful. We did not see the momos on the dining room menu, but we asked and were able to get them with our dinner, which was great! The momos were good, and the sauce really made them something special. We also got the chaat appetizer, which was both crisp and fresh. We had the lamb vindaloo and fish kerala curry entrees. Both dishes were spicy as requested and delicious. The lamb vindaloo was hotter, with a nice strong flavor. The fish curry had a thick and flavorful sauce. We also had garlic naan, which were pillowy perfection. Again, the service was fast and excellent, and the food was amazing. If we were in Cooperstown again, we would go back. I also really like all the photographs on the walls. read more
