#28 Dal Bhaat Tarkari ra Kukhurako Masu € 22,95 chicken Nepali style
Erica L.

The food was delicious and service was excellent. The chicken was tender and we ordered ours spicy and it was a good amount of spicy for us. The food portions are large and sadly we couldn't finish our meals - we were stuffed full! We did also order a side of naan. Both of the main dishes I would order again. They were busy at the time we went and we got the last seat inside without reservations.

Lamb momos were delicious

We had a reservation for 6:30 and it was a perfect day outside. The host was kind to keep an eye out for one of the outdoor tables opening up so that we could move outside. All of the servers were incredibly sweet, and had smiles on their faces throughout the evening. The food was delicious- not too spicy, just right. Service was stellar. I let them know about my lactose intolerance and they made sure that none of the food had dairy in it. We ordered the daal vegetable platter and it was stunning. Would definitely come back!

Absolutely loved Sherpa!! It was a cold rainy day and this was the perfect place to warm us up. Food was delicious and staff was super friendly!!

The spinach and cheese momos

This place was absolutely fantastic! Fantastic food, fantastic staff and fantastic atmosphere. This was my first time eating Nepalese food and I fell in love with the momos. They are similar to Chinese dumplings but with different flavours. I would definitely recommend making a booking as it was pretty busy. Sadly, as I was only visiting Amsterdam it will be a while before I can go back.

Been here twice already and planning on going back soon! Just thinking about their meat and veggie momo's makes my mouth water. Sherpa is a Nepalese/Tibetan fusion restaurant. Their food is delectable. They have Nepalese inspired curries as well as a few Indian fusion dishes. My husband and I love to get their pre-set dinner which is about €17.00 pp and comes with noodles, fried rice and a tower of hearty vegetable soup with your choice of meat or vegetable momo's. For those of you who don't know what momo's are, they are Tibetan/Nepalese dumplings with a spicier filling. It's the perfect fusion of flavors of their neighboring countries. After a hearty meal here, we love walking back to Amsterdam Centraal station, taking in the sights and sounds of the beautiful city of Amsterdam.

Arrived yesterday at opening time 5 p.m., hungry and eager to eat dinner before our canal cruise…read more We did not have a reservation but they were able to find us a table because they were just opening. Very elegant interior, with tasteful decor, soft ambient music, best for couples, but also able to accommodate larger groups with a reservation. We were seated right away and greeted by our server Sona, very gracious, patient, attentive, and professional. She asked about any allergies and then took our order of chicken tikka saag and chicken tikka masala, both medium spiciness (also asked if we would like Indian medium or European medium--we chose Indian medium). These entrees come with rice, and we also ordered garlic naan. Immediately, they brought chilled bottled water and complimentary thin crispy cracker like bread with red sauce and green sauce (I didn't catch the names). I liked the green sauce better (mint), and my husband liked the red one better (tamarind)--both were lovely. About 20 minutes later, our entrees arrived piping hot, and cooked to perfection! Tender chicken, savory rich flavors in the masala and saag, both the right level of spicy for us! Glad we had enough rice and water! Excellent restaurant --Sona was amazing and the whole experience delicious!

The lamb saag was absolutely delicious and the salad was quite good as well. We weren't huge fans of the mixed tandoori plate, the flavors weren't very developed and it needed more spice, but we were overall satisfied with the service and the dining experience. It appears from the other reviews that the momos are one of the best things to eat here, but I personally couldn't because I am gluten free, so considering how delicious the saag is, I bet dishes other than the tandoori are very delicious as well! Overall I would recommend this place.

Another great discovery, thanks to my best friend! She found Ashoka on Trip Advisor and book marked…read moreit for me to try; I'm so glad that I did. It's a short tram ride from Museumplein. The restaurant is small and the tables were a bit too close to each other. It was difficult squeezing in between the tables to sit down. Luckily it wasn't too crowded during my visit. They have an extensive menu of both Indian and Nepalese dishes. I had already browsed the menu online and had a general idea of what I wanted. I started with a mint tea. It was really good and soothing. The server brought out complimentary papadum and it was delicious! I ordered the Bhindi Masala. The server asked what spice level I wanted and I requested mild. In hindsight, I should have said "no spice" or specified a spice level of 1 or maybe even 0 if that was an option lol. Her definition of mild was spice level 2. The dish was so good and so flavorful, but it was way too spicy for me. I was struggling with it and the server could tell. She insisted on bringing out another Bhindi Masala without any spice which I greatly appreciated. Since I had mint tea, it worsened the burning sensation. She suggested I try the Raita (yogurt mixed with cucumbers and tomatoes). It was really good and definitely helped to calm the spiciness. The portions are huge and I had so much Bhindi Masala left when I was done eating. I wasn't going to take the leftovers with me because I didn't have a way to reheat them, but the server insisted that I take it, so she packed it up for me. I tried a little bit the next day and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted cold. The flavors marinated the okra overnight so the flavor packed a punch. It's unfortunate that European hotel rooms don't have microwaves because it would have been phenomenal the next day if I could have reheated it.

Super lekker!…read more Recommended to me by a neighbor who raved about this place. I have to admit that I don't really know what authentic "Indian and Nepalese" food is. Of course I have had some delicious "Indian" food over the years. But either way, Ashoka is very nice! I've lived about a block away for over a year and it's my first time there, (of course half of that time it was not available due to the government pandemic restrictions). I ordered takeaway here late on a Sunday. but there were people inside, dining, having a great time. The staff was super-friendly and pleasant and even laughed at my stupid jokes. The food was amazing. HUGE portions. The naan is perfect (I bought two orders which is more than enough for two / three people)...rice is nice and light. The egg fried rice was super lekker too! Plenty of chicken in the curry meal. Something else I noted was the super-thick aluminum foil they used for their takeaway packaging. That's a sign (to me) they invest in quality. I ate too much because it was so delicious, so I worried I may have trouble sleeping with heartburn or worse, but I felt great. I think that's another sign of quality. I can't wait to dine inside. It is a very nice interior. Not a dive or unclean. I will take friends and family here whenever it's safe for them to visit. It may not appear to be the cheapest place, but don't let that distract you. It is near the center of Amsterdam in a very nice area, such high quality, clean with lots of space, it's worth it. (By the way, the Kinkerstraat part of the name is the location, since there is another location in nearby Spuistraat).
