Food was delicious! Very fragrant, good amounts of spice and a variety of things to choose from. I got the Thali which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to try a couple of different things!! It was all very filling and tasty, would definitely recommend! Restaurant was clean, quiet, and spacious and the staff were very polite!

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!

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.

Every time I come to visit my parents, I have hoped to eat at Sherpa Kitchen. So glad I finally did! The restaurant is well appointed, service was great, and the food was absolutely delicious! We had the chicken Thalia lunch special and enjoyed every bite!!

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.

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.

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!

Came here for lunch one weekend and was pleasantly surprised by it. We ordered the jhol momo and the tandoori chicken and both tasted pretty good. The portion sizes were also large, so we had to take some items home. The service was pretty good too and the staff was incredibly friendly.

Indian and Nepalese food are my favorites and after carefully evaluating all of the restaurants in the area, Sherpa is the winner! It was not even close. I had never tried Josh Rogan bc to be honest it has always sounded like Americanized food. But I got the lamb and it was phenomenal. I think I'm going to be there at least twice a month from now on. The hostess is just the nicest person and makes you feel so welcome. I can't say enough good things about this place. Apparently it's where the chefs from the other local Indian and Nepalese restaurants come when they want to enjoy great food. read more

My boyfriend and I went here recently and it was by far the best Indian food I've had in Colorado. I got the chicken thali special and a banana lassi, he got the chicken mahkai, and we split Punjabi wings. Everything was great, I can't count how many times I said mid-bite "we're definitely coming back here". The hostess was very nice and the atmosphere was perfect.

The food is tasty but not the best Nepalese I've ever had.

It's a long story, but I was supposed to go somewhere else for dinner and ended up at Sherpa Kitchen instead. It was honestly one the BEST decisions I have ever made. The food is mind-blowing good! Some of the best food I've had in Boulder. I ordered chicken momos, garlic naan, vegetable samosas, and Chicken Korma. Highly recommend them all. The service is great too, everyone was really nice and welcoming; I felt like a "regular" there even though it was first time at the restaurant. I can't wait to go back here again! read more

I eat a lot of Indian food, both from restaurants and homemade. I ordered the vegetarian Thali and hot chai. The food came out hot as did the chili. I loved that the chai was served with a big mug and a small pot so I could have two servings without asking for it from the server. Unfortunately, the food was too salty and did not allow any of the spices to really shine. The Dahl was bland- either my palate was so overwhelmed with salt from the other food that it could not detect any salt in the dahl, or there was no salt in the dahl. Normally, I like to take some of the meal home with me but this was not good enough for that. The server was very good and had a nice smile! read more

The Sherpa Kitchen is the finest in Indian and Nepalese cuisine. There's a real Sherpa in the back who guides your culinary senses on a journey unparalleled in boulder. Do you like spicy? This place gets it. I'm formerly from New Orleans and if my mouth ain't burning at the end of a meal, I wonder what was the point of eating? Do you like mild (like my girlfriend)? Sherpa expertly crafts dishes for all spice tolerances and they do it with the smile and grace of a Sherpa leading you up some tall mountain. Kindly support this local business as they have worked really hard to offer the best food in boulder (even with the craziness of covid). Enjoy the family atmosphere and when you're done.... You can grab a cookie from boulder baked next door. read more

Tikka Masala is rich and creamy - spice levels are well done but perhaps on the mild side - consider ordering a little more adventurously than you would normally consider The Korma - a curry with a rich umame/gravy taste was the kind of thing you will come back for over and over. Highly recommend.

We ordered the Aloo Gobi, a dish called "mushroom matter", basmati rice, "Indian style tea" which is just chai I don't know why they label it that way and a garlic naan. The aloo gobi was almost all cauliflower and lacked the brightness and salty sweetness I am used to, the mushroom dish also fell a bit flat although I've never seen this dish before so I have nothing to compare it to, the basmati rice was fairly short grained, not very fragrant and unspiced but the thing that got me was the crunchy toasted naan??! I was expecting your normal soft, pillowy, melt in your mouth steamy naan and I got what felt more like a crunchy pizza crust with no toppings, not that it was bad but it was wildly outside of what I was expecting and personally didn't like it, my daughter will eat any bread product and ate it instead. The service was incredibly nice, friendly, accommodating, and helpful, our food came quickly. I do wish they had some way of dealing with delivery drivers since they just loiter in the entry of the restaurant near the kitchen which happened to be right next to our booth and more than one large sweaty delivery driver was essentially leaning against my daughters side of the booth while waiting for pick up, kinda gross. They also need to replace their carpets and bench cushions but otherwise I loved the decor. Overall they need to step up their spice game, this is Indian food bring your A game and all other faults would be forgiven, except that crunchy naan. They also don't have Chana masala??!!? This is my go to and I've never seen this not offered at an Indian restaurant in my area.

I've been to tandoori kitchen in Lafayette but this place was a great nearby choice! Right in a big plaza, easy parking and access. Staff was friendly and greeted me well. I went on a Saturday, and to my delight there was a Jazz Singer group there! They added so much ambience and charm to the meal. She plays every other Saturday so try and see them! A mango Lassi was excellent to sooth my sore throat from talking all day. I got the classic Paneer Tiki Masala, with a Garlic naan on the side. Flavors were all there and naan was warm and soft. Rice was cooked well and compliments the sauce well. Overall, an excellent stop in Boulder and hope to be back soon!

We had a wonderful dinner here tonight and really enjoyed sitting out on the patio. The atmosphere…read morewas nice and relaxing, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. The momos were delicious, and we tried several different kinds of naan--everything was really good. The butter chicken was also tasty and flavorful. My husband ordered the sampler, which he really enjoyed, and our daughter had the fried rice with lamb, which was excellent. Overall, we had a great experience and really enjoyed our meal. We would definitely come back!

Wow, I can't believe I have to leave my first bad review. First, this isn't a gluten-friendly…read morerestaurant, and it's one of the first I've come across like that. The service was terrible. We waited a long time for our drinks; they brought me the wrong order, and when the food finally arrived, it wasn't very good. The fries were cold and seemed microwaved, and I heard the naan was dry. The atmosphere was nice, though. Oh, and I never thought I'd have to say this about a restaurant, but do not leave without checking the table for personal items, because if you go back to check, they will be gone, and no one will know what happened. I would avoid this place, as there are many better and more honest spots in Boulder.

I'd heard wonderful things about Sherpa Kitchen from multiple friends and finally tried it and couldn't have been happier that I did. Everyone who helped with my order was incredibly friendly and the food came out quickly. After the first bite it had already become one of my favorite restaurants in Boulder. Great amount of food for the price, too. read more

The best restaurant in Boulder that serves excellent Indian and Nepalese cuisine. In addition in eating authentic spicey foods, the entire staff is as spicey, funny, and delicious as the food. Highly recommended, C Lundell. read more

I eat here a couple times a week, the food is amazing and the service is great. I got addicted to a certain type of Indian food in grad school going to lunch with our Indian post docs, these guys are the real deal. read more

The lunch special was an amazing deal and very worth the price! It came with saag paneer, rice, naan, samosa, and kheer for only $10.99. Flavors were on point, highly recommend! read more
