Came here with a group of friend for dinner shortly after they opened on a weekend, and the place was already packed. Despite the busy dinning room and the non-stop takeout orders, the team remained friendly and attentive, even the non-English- speaking auntie helped clear and deliver dishes. We started with vegetable samosa and the steam chicken momos. The momos were amazing, packed full with flavorful chicken and wrapped with a perfectly thin dough. For our entrees, we shared the lamb Rogan Josh, chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, and both plain and garlic naan. The meats were tender. While everything tasted rich, authentic and well prepared, my favorites are the chicken vindaloo and lamb Rogan Josh. So glad we found this local gem. I definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back! read more

Came here with a big group on a weeknight and we really enjoyed our time. All the food was delicious, and the standouts for me were the chicken korma (which they give you an option to sub coconut cream to make it dairy free!!), the chicken momos, and the lamb kabob. Service was quick and they helped us figure out what our real spice levels should be which was super helpful :) read more

Authentic and delicious. Excellent for accommodating groups. You can order family style portions if you have a large group. Excellent outdoor seating. So far, everything I've tried I've loved! Service is great but if they are busy you have to be patient. read more

GrossPlease do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere else. This place is a joke. How do you justify charging $18.99 for several small chunks of chicken swimming in mostly sauce? Do you think that is a fair price? There is no way someone would look at our order and say "Wow! That look great. What generous sizes" .I just wonder what goes on when food is sent out like that and what the cook and server are thinking. I think you know you're ripping off customers. It's obvious and greedy. read more

Such a lovely home style restaurant! The people here are so kind and caring. I got to try the combination plate (a tad oily but still yummy), thali (definitely would recommend, this is pretty much a tasting platter), lamb kebab, and mango lassi. They were all super tasty!! Highly recommend this place, it's such a lovely dinner. Looks like they have good lunch specials too. read more

Lots of Gluten-Free food options/accommodations! Their coffee is splendid and the staff was very polite and provided excellent service

Went to Sherpa Kitchen with my wife and three adult kids for a weekday lunch. Very friendly service. We ordered 3 lunch boxes and a variety of other dishes, including dal makhani, garlic naan, dum biryani and chicken tandoori momo. Everything was super fresh and tasty. We particularly liked the tandoori momos. Not your typical dumplings! read more

You feel so special when you walk in the door. We really enjoyed a fun mix of foods and fantastic dumplings. The tea and lassies are delicious and the service is so friendly! read more

During a 4-day jaunt through Boulder we chose this to be our last meal, a Sunday late lunch based on many 5-star reviews... and we weren't disappointed. The establishment was only 1/4 occupied at this odd hour we chose and the gentleman/owner greeted us with such alacrity. He offered the table of our choosing and then returned minutes later to give us guidance on his menu. I requested something less traditional (i.e., no vindaloo or biryani) and he immediately recommended the Tandoori Momo ($18 + $2 with ground chicken) and the Rogan Josh ($19 + $1 for lamb upgrade). We agreed that the lamb was "good" in that it was mild (not gamey), very lean, and without gristle... but it could have been a bit more tender. Overall, this dish reminded me a bit of the more traditional Indian/rice dishes... and that was still a-ok. The star of the show was, indeed, the Tandoori Momo. I had initially hesitated when the owner made his recommendation because I (errantly) pictured pieces of reddish chicken from the Tandoori oven. I was so wrong. They are actually large reddish "pot-stickers" filled with seasoned ground chicken inside. I had never seen anything like that before. Bonus: they arrive with a big ruckus - 10 of them on a loudly sizzling platter which you can hear from 30 feet away. The couple of sauces and grilled/sliced onions that accompanied them were terrific and all was quite filling. The waitress that took over service for the balance of our meal was polite and attentive. Overall, an excellent last meal... and leaving me craving that vindaloo next time Lol. Note: one little critique is that their bill adds the tax in And Then calculates the proposed tip amount to that enlarged total. Not cool but I've now seen this happen at a couple of other restaurants. read more

Sherpa has been on my bucket list of restaurants to try in Boulder, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. We got the lamb biryani and saag paneer, both of which were really delicious (and I'm not one who eats lamb since it's usually tough and gamey, but this one was tender and tasted great.) Personally, I could've taken more spice on both dishes, but other than that, they were perfect. I liked the ambiance since it kinda reminded me of some restaurants I used to frequent on the east coast, so it was sort of nostalgic dining here. I'd definitely return whenever I'm craving this kind of food. read more

I had the Veg Chow Mein, Chili Chicken Momos, and Banana Lassi for around $42. They had a spice scale of 1-5 and I played it conservative but should've gone to 5. The Chow Mein and Banana Lassi were good especially since I haven't had that type of drink before. But the Momos are the special item for me. It had a tamarind taste to it which gave a sweet and spicy flavor. Just slightly expensive for me. read more

Went for lunch today and had the special lunch tray-- it was so flavorful and the naan was fresh and HOT. Delicious. The only suggestion is to not salt the saag as much but all the other dishes were perfectly seasoned. We were debating going here or to Tiffins and I am glad that we tried this place. The entire staff there is so gracious and accommodating and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Will make this part of our regular rotation in the future. read more

Outstanding! So many delicious choices - a perfect Date Night for the two of us. Service is cheerfully kind. We love this place!

What a great Nepalese restaurant in Boulder! I had some of the best steamed vegetable momos I've ever had here, and some of the best naan of my life. They have a large menu and there is something for everyone here. Folks are really friendly and gave great recommendations. Their vegetable korma was also delicious. Would definitely make a return trip if I find myself in Boulder again. read more

Ridiculously good lunch time options! Hit the spot. Service was quick! Dog friendly patio and they brought our water for our dog. The lunch plates are big!!! read more

The atmosphere and service were great, but most importantly the food was incredible. My common complaint is that restaurants sacrifice flavor to make things spicier. Not here. I got my food at level 5 and it was so full of flavor I think I could have gone hotter. Also? Maybe the best naan I've ever had. Cheese and onion, absolutely incredible. They definitely don't cheap out on the toppings. 10/10 will eat here again read more

Absolutely amazing tikki masala and nann. The biryani could be better but. 9/10 Indian food. Momo also delicious

Had the opportunity to eat here several times while working in the area and really enjoyed it. The food was always fresh, delicious and as ordered. Some of our favorites were: steamed vegetable momos, chili vegetable momos, tandoori vegetable momos, johl vegetable momos and samosa chat. Looking forward to trying some more things off the menu. read more

I placed a to-go order at the bar for fried chicken momos and plain naan. The proprietor greeted me warmly and invited me to sit. There was only one table of customers being served. I wish he had told me my order would take 40 minutes; at the thirty minute mark he mentioned that the momos take a long time to prepare. Before my food was ready, restaurant employees had begun eating their own meals. When the food was ready, my daughter and I ate it in the car. Everything was very hot temperature-wise. The momos were surprisingly spicy but still tasty, and the chutney was a nice balance to those flavors. The naan was delicious. I recommend the food but be forewarned to expect a long wait, even if you are the only customer. read more

Sherpa Kitchen - Fried chicken momos with mango chutney (note: photo taken after momos were consumed, so includes a greater number than pictured here) - Indian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Quick read: tons of vegetarian / vegan options, relaxed but great service (just order takeout if you're in a hurry or come with some time to spare) , huge portions, and flavorful food!! This was the best Indian/ Himalayan food I have had in a long time. They have lunch specials too! We came to grab a snack while we were in the area and we left so full we skipped dinner. We started with the masala chai and the Thai tea and I'm so glad we did, you've got to try them for the full experience! The vegetable pankora took me by surprise and I was fighting for the last pieces. They were crunchy, salty, and packed with flavor. We then ordered the tandoori and chili vegetarian momo. We couldn't pick a favorite. The chili momo were a little more Smokey and spicy and the tandoori were a little more cumin and citrusy. They were both piping hot and the peppers and onions served with were crunchy and delicious. We ordered medium spice and they were perfect. I couldn't dream up a better momo. Give this place a try and I swear you won't be disappointed. I will be back with an empty stomach to try as many things as possible next time! read more

Amazing food! Probably the best food we had on our trip. We got the chicken and vegetarian lunch specials and it came with so much food- naan, rice pudding, saag, rice.

One of the top Nepalese restaurants I've been to, period! The momos are delicious and filling

Very good food, friendly staff in cozy and quiet setting, the chicken on one dish was a little dry.

Great flavors and service. Waiter seated us even though they were about to close. Never felt pressure to leave!

Love sauce, this place is the bomb! We ordered a mix of items we preferred along with items from the poplar items list and we couldn't go wrong! The feeling after our meal too was well fed and healthy versus too full and saturated. Thanks Sherpa! read more

Food was delicious, service was great they forgot to add rice on my carry out and took care to get it delivered to my door.

Great food. Nice people. Flew in and called in our order. Hariyali shrimp, saptarangi korma, and chicken tikka masala all were good.

I have been to every Indian restaurant in the Denver Boulder areas and just found this place. This is absolutely the best Nepalese/Indian food in town. Most restaurants give you old food and you can tell. Sherpa Kitchen is fresh! The paneer pakora was perfect. The chicken tikka masala was excellent without being too salty. Even the turmeric tea was just what I wanted. Sherpa kitchen is the Nepalese/Indian food I've been looking for in Boulder but could never find! The wait staff RJ was also friendly and happy. I could tell they truly care about their restaurant. Hard to find these days! read more

Their butter chicken is really good. However their chicken wings??? One of the best I have ever had! You will not regret this! If you want authentic Nepalese Chai, then this is also a great place for it! read more

Went for lunch and had the Thali lunch special. Excellent food and service. I will come back.

Very good Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikki Masala, and Naan. Cheaper than the other options I've seen in Boulder and good portions.

Thank you RJ, Babu and everyone at Sherpa Kitchen for the best vegan Saag and Salmon Tandoori in Boulder (and beyond!). Sherpa Kitchen's food, excellent service and warm welcome feed my soul and quench my hunger every time! wishing you the best!!! read more

Was recommended this place by this random guy Tate, don't know him, but and all I can say is that I'd trust that guy with making decisions for me for the rest of my life. Got the chai and veg thali and both did not disappoint. I'd say I'm well versed in spice, but Sherpa Kitchen out does themselves in that realm and I was quickly transported far off this planet. Our server Rashma was a saint and diligently returned with some yogurt and raita upon request. (Next time I will take a level 1 spice, sorry Rashma). Will return again and again for the ambiance, service, quality of food, and tasty memories. read more
