We had a wonderful dinner here tonight and really enjoyed sitting out on the patio. The atmosphere was 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! read more

Wow, I can't believe I have to leave my first bad review. First, this isn't a gluten-friendly restaurant, 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. read more

Fantastic place. Great patio and great service. The food was great as well. The naan was fluffy and light and delicious. The momo is some of the best I have experienced. The little lentil soup that came with my meal was okay. I did not finish it. The only suggestion I would make is to not be afraid to order spicy. I was not asked about spice level and my chicken makhani came out with zero spice. It really could have used some kick. Someone who ordered after me ordered spicy and I think that was the right move. So, nothing wrong with the food but I would recommend asking for spicy to increase the experience. I definitely recommend. Great spot for sure. read more

Sherpa has some of the best food and definitely the best naan. I always get the vindaloo or tikka masala with samosas, which come with a great sauce. Most of the dishes come with a lentil soup, which is nice and tasty. The momo platter is also great for trying a variety of things. The restaurant is really cool because it's a house that has a bunch of Himalayan decor, and their outdoor area is really nice too. read more

After a long day we had dinner at Sherpa's. It's a cozy place, with friendly service. We started with Chicken Momo's. We loved the Momo's. We then got Chicken Curry, Dhal Bhat and Garlic Naan. Both the Chicken Curry and Dhal Bhat were good. read more

Really impressive menu and they can make just about everything dairy free. Their menu is vast and it was difficult choosing out of all the options. The service is friendly and quick. Their food is delicious and the spot is clearly well known because it was packed on a Saturday evening. read more

As a vegetarian Boulderite, this spot is a go-to. Food is perfection (garlic naan with cheese is an absolute must!) and I've tried quite a bit of the menu. Love that the entrees come with both rice and lentil soup. Sitting outdoors is such a perfect vibe for either an adventurous weeknight or chill weekend dinner. Service is attentive but never feels like you are being rushed. Hanging out is encouraged! Appreciate the variety of beverages available, opted for a green tea but the house beer is also a favorite. Always here and will be back! :) read more

I just left this restaurant for the second time tonight. We left about a half hour ago and my daughter left her Dolce and Gabanna prescription eye glasses on the table. I tried to call to let them know what happened, but nobody answered the phone and by the time we got back 20 minutes later the glasses were stolen. None of the staff would admit to even seeing them. She has the empty case and we pull EVERYTHING from the car to verify, as she used the glasses to read the menu. We finally had to leave without her glasses and school starts next week. We also had horrible service, I had to ask for my Sprite 4 times before they brought out my drink. It actually came out after my dinner came out and I started eating. My husband and son were not given their food with the rest of the table's food and we also had to ask for that as well. THEY ARE THIEVES HERE, WE WILL NOT BE BACK!!!! read more

First time in Boulder and this historic building with nice patio dining and cool seating arrangements inside. Got seated for 5 with water and chip and dip right away. Nice Mo-mo plate with beef. Lamb curry, vegetables and yak stew , saag chicken. Good portion. Server forgot the saag chicken. Need reminder. Naan is really good. Lentils and stew are really light, not much taste. Yak is yak, really chewy. Chickens are bland and dry. Foods are 3 stars but ambience and services made up for that. Give it a try read more

Came here with a group from work, this was my first time trying this type of food and while I didn't like a couple of items just based on personal taste preference the majority of the food was pretty damn good. Small place but the vibe is good and service is great. I would definitely try this place again and Nepalese/indian food as well read more

The server could not answer any questions and did not offer to go ask anyone else. The food was subpar. We did not feel welcome. The food other servers were hovering to take things away even though the restaurant wasn't even 1/2 full. Terrible experience and one of the worst Indian restaurants in Boulder read more

I give this 5 stars because it was hard to find anything wrong with my meal or experience. The ambiance is very homey and welcoming. I enjoyed reading about all the news articles and accolades of the owner. The service was welcoming and attentive. No complaints here. The food was delicious as well. Everything was spiced perfectly. My favorite things were the curry chicken and the garlic naan. The Naan was so good! I also want to appreciate the value of the meal. I went during lunch and the meal felt properly priced and definitely makes me want to return. Props for that as well! read more

I came here on a Friday night with a party of 5. We sat outside (I think they were only seating outside that day) and it was a splendid time. The food was delicious, the service was great, and everyone had a lovely time. They have beautiful decor including maps of expeditions. I got their saag paneer and it was so yummy. It also came with a half cup of lentil soup. I'm usually not a soup fan at all but this one was great. read more

Very friendly and warm service. Food was good. We were a big group so for a variety off food. I would recommend the lamp curry. Chapati was good. The dumplings were just ok. Biryani lamb was good and I liked the Tibet noodles. Oh and the chicken tikka masala was good. The portions are pretty small especially for the price but I would try it out. read more

Ambience: I would say if this restaurant was to be rated based on ambience I would rate it 5 OUT OF 5. Service: The staff was perfectly courteous when we walked in but I would say the service during our meal was pretty slow and bad. I wouldn't care usually about this but we were there for my mom's 74th birthday with my 7 year old, my dad, my wife, and my dad. We had to call them several times to get used plates from our appetizers out of the way. Me/wife and my parents were sharing a dish each and after I asked repeatedly to get our used app plates away they had to be told to get extra plates and bowls to share. I thought it could be due to them being short staffed, but I assure you this was not the case. A few times during our 1 hour and 20 min meal I saw at least one member of the wait staff sitting and relaxing on one table over. Food: I would say this is THE driver for my 3 out of 5 rating. The food was nothing to write home about. Here is what we got: APPETIZERS * Appetizer Platter: We ordered this thinking that it would be a nice balance - IT WAS NOT - there were two pieces of paneer, two slices of potatoes, and an ENTIRE plate of onion. The upside was that it was not bad if you dipped the fried pieces in the dip provided (without the dip the pieces had no taste). * Mo:Mo Appetizer: Because my mom and dad wanted veggie Momos we got that version. The veggie momos were tasty and the skin was not too thick. MAINS: * Thupka: My mom and dad shared a chicken Thupka and they said it was "good". * Tibetan Noodles: My wife and I got this dish to share. It was SO SALTY and doused with what tasted like generic curry paste you get in the super market...there was absolutely no taste in that dish except for it being so salty that we did NOT enjoy it . The chicken that was in there was not juicy and quite rubbery. If you order this dish, perhaps ask them to go easy with the salt. * Mo:Mo Entree: My son wanted to eat dumplings but these were pretty bad. The skin of the dumplings was very tough and way too thick. The chicken inside has NO taste except for a strong hint of ginger (I love ginger so that was the only positive here). We had to dip it in the sauce provided which was quite bland too. For reference, typical momos we are used to eating the skin is thinner and the filling has more taste. DESERT: * Mango kulfi: My parents wanted to share this - it looked okay. All in all, if you go to this restaurant, enjoy the ambience and customizing your dishes by asking questions as to what is in your dish. I tried to take pictures of the outside patio sitting area which is nicely decorated. read more

I did not know this place existed until my husband made reservations for our anniversary. We arrived about 15 minutes early and thought we'd just start with a drink at the bar, but we were promptly escorted to our table. The building itself is adorable, and I love how it's decorated with Sherpa information and artifacts. I'm vegetarian and had no problem finding many options. I had the tofu saag and my husband had the tandoori chicken. We had a sampler of the veg MoMo and ordered the whole wheat naan, which next time we'll stick with the regular. (I've decided naan tastes better with white flour). Our server was helpful, attentive and our food came out quickly even though it seemed like a full house. The serving sizes were very generous. I had enough for lunch the following two days! I'm so excited we found Sherpa's and can't wait to go back again. read more

Came here for a group dinner on a Friday night! It was busy but we were still able to be seated right away. I really enjoyed the patio seating. Their chai is amazing so I highly recommend getting a cup to try. My boyfriend and I got one of their samplers which was fun to try a bit of everything. The portions are massive so you'll have left overs and it was good quality Indian food for Boulder. I wish the curry had a bit more flavor and spice though. Our food came decently fast but despite someone walking past our table 8 times, no one would pick up our dirty dishes or ask if we wanted boxes or whatnot. read more

Good food at a good price. The lunch menu is only about $12 per item. Everyone was very friendly and the outdoor area was cute. My only concern is that the inside seating wasn't open even when it was in the 90s so we were dying of heat. They should open inside as well when it's too hot. read more

This Nepali restaurant is in a charming two story brick house in Boulder just a block from Pearl Street. I think that it's great that a top flight Sherpa athlete decided to move to one of the most mountainous regions in the US. I hiked to Everest Base Camp a couple years ago and I've been climbing Colorado Fourteeners recently, so I had to visit this place. The Thukpa noodle soup with lamb is nourishing goodness in a bowl. The noodles are thick and smooth almost like udon noodles. The orange broth is spicy with a mix of curry and chili spices. The soup is extremely hot in temperature, a perfect fit for cold Himalayan nights, and still nice even during the current heat wave here. But I also like ice cream in the winter. There's a solid mix of vegetables: cabbage, carrots, broccoli, peas, and spinach. There were also nice big chunks of lamb to round out this hearty meal. And after seeing all those yaks on the trail, I couldn't order this with yak. Right now, only the patio area is open. The staff takes your order using mobile payment devices. read more

We were seeing a show at CU and were looking at places to try in the area. We got street parking not too far away and walked over to the restaurant. When walking up - it is a converted house which was cozy. You walk into a bar area where it seemed as it was the family hangout. We were greeted right away and then seated right away. It was decently packed but they have a ton of seats in various rooms. There is a ton on the menu. Our server was a bit awkward but was quick to react to our needs. My fiancé had never really had Nepalese food and I've only really had momos. We were given this "bread" basket which was crackers with some dipping sauces. Very flavorful. We decided to start with some garlic naan. I ordered momos and did half vegetables and half chicken. My fiancé got the chili. Food came out pretty quickly and there was a TON. The garlic naan was delicious. My fiancé at his entire plate. I wasn't able to finish all the momos since it was huge. I really enjoyed the chicken one but the veggie one was not as good. This could've been better fried but I had opted for the steamed. All and all - it's a great experience. I liked that the menu explained what a Sherpa is and the history which is great to learn. Food is flavorful. Service was interesting to say the least. read more

Just a joy to consume its food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try the rice pudding!!!! And the flat breads that come with many of the dishes. (if any bread is left over, take it home. It makes great croutons. read more

We booked a reservation for 7pm on a busy Saturday evening. The restaurant told us upon arriving that they were fully booked and unwilling to honor their reservation. Rather than apologizing or attempting to correct their mistake, they doubled down on their complete unwillingness to help. Absolutely will never attempt to eat here again. It's hard to imagine treating customers like this and surviving in the hospitality industry. A clear beacon of inhospitality. read more

.We ate at Sherpa's Adventures and got seated right away. We ordered the appetizer platter, thukpa, korma, and an extra garlic naan. The appetizer platter came out first and we really liked everything in it. I really liked the paneer. Then, our mains came out and they were really yummy. The garlic naan was really warm and tasty, and I really liked the korma. We did have a small language issue with trying to get bowls to share our mains, but we got it sorted it out. Our bill ended up being really affordable for our group size too. I'd come back here to eat! read more

Been here before and now that I'm back in Boulder wanted to come again. Good memories from last time. We had a group of seven as we're here for the Bolder Boulder. We had reservations, were seated promptly and the food was excellent. We had vegans and vegartains in the group and Sherpa's was happy to accomodate their dietary needs. The food choices are many and something for everyone. Sherpa's is different from the typical restaurant fare, e.g., Italian, Indian, Mexican, etc. It is a good difference and always keeps me coming back. read more

I love Sherpa's! The house shape of the restaurant is so cute and always pleasant to go to. The food portions are good and I love their saag paneer and garlic naan. The chutney is flavorful and perfect amount of spices! I also love the rice pudding! I usually always go for the sampler platter. The service is good and you can't go wrong with the food on their menu. Authentic Nepalese food in Boulder! read more

I love Indian food so I had to try this place out. Nepali cuisine did not disappoint! Chai was perfect on a cold night. Samosas were flakey and super stuffed with filling! Onion pakoras tasted more like onion rings than the pakoras I'm used to, but that's not a bad thing! I'm not a steamed dumpling person so I ordered the Momo dumplings fried, tasted great. Highly recommend Sherpa's! Staff are friendly and happy to answer questions or just chat. read more

Momo Chicken - the sauce really made the momos. The skin was thicker than the other momos I've had. I thought it was okay. Tibetan noodles - thought this was a really good! It wasn't very salty but still had a lot of flavor. The noodles had a good balance of chew and softness. Korma - the sauce had a nice kick to it and paired well with the lamb. Chai - the chai was one of the better ones I had and it's bottomless for $2.50. Overall, I liked everything except the momo. read more

We really wanted to fall in love with this place. We had high hopes, learning that it was started by Nepalese sherpas, and that it is dedicated to sharing their food and experiences. The space is lovely, with lots of outdoor seating wrapping around the house, with seating inside the house as well. There's a wall with photos of sherpas, and a small 'library' (a small bookshelf with a handful of books) to browse. Beyond that, not much to speak to sherpa adventures, which was very played up when we first read about the place. We only came for a snack and some tea - the samosas were very fried, and the dumplings were pretty bland and more dough than filling. It took a long time for them to come, and we were one of only three other parties at the time. Wouldn't recommend, I know there are other similar restaurants and teahouses in the area. read more

We love Sherpa's so much .we have been consistent customers for 7 years now. This is the top choice for food and Boulder. We almost always get the same thing: Khumbu sampler - which is a great variety and is plenty for two people to share. Also chai is amazing and you get free refills! The indoor seating is nice and cozy and warm in the winter , and in the summer we love sitting in the outdoor patio. read more

My boyfriend and I went to this place last year, and had a great time! Now I'll admit the food was pretty lackluster... like it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. But I'm a big fan of finding unique places/restaurants, places you won't be able to find anywhere else, and this certainly checks all the boxes for a unique restaurant! I adored going around and seeing all the memorabilia/pamphlets on the walls! Though my favorite part was the fortune-telling Yak outside on the porch- I really got a kick out of that! So I definitely encourage you to check this place out if you live unique places as much as I do! Just don't except the actual food part to be "out of this world" or anything, but it's certainly worth what you pay for it at least! read more

All of the food came out quick and was super good! Ambiance was cute as well, if it's not too cold consider sitting outside.

Sherpa's Adventure Restaurant's rich history alone makes a trip to this establishment well worth it. We sat in their patio area which had peaceful string lights. Diners receive complimentary papadums, a crispy appetizer served with dipping sauce. We ordered the sherpa sampler and sherpa stew with yak meat. The sherpa sampler was a great way to experience several different cultural foods in one order. We especially enjoyed the kir, a sweet dessert soup. The sherpa stew was hearty, although a bit too light on the flavor side for me. The yak was an interesting protein to get to try. We enjoyed getting to learn about the culture of the restaurant through portraits/exhibits inside the restaurant and factoids on the menu. Learning about Sherpa's story for sure enhanced our dining experience. Definitely come check out this restaurant if you haven't yet! read more
