I was amazed by all their dishes! This was my first time trying Nepalese food and I can't wait to go back! We were the only ones in there and pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. Service was great! read more

Noodles and fried rice were AMAZING -- super flavorful and perfectly cooked. Momo was good with tasty filling, but the coating was a bit too thick for my liking. Overall, great spot for Nepalese food. Would definitely come back! read more

This is a family owned Indian/ Napalese reataurant. The name Sherpa is derived from the last name of the owner. How did I know? Rom, our server, explained to my family and I. Excellent food and service! Atmosphere is very calming and has welcoming vibe! Every dish we ate was delicious and sooo good! They will ask you about how spicy you want your food: mild, medium or hot. The chicken Biryani was out of this world! A must try!!! I ordered lamb masala which is very tasty. My daughter ordered lamb vindaloo and my husband ordered buttered chicken! The meat in all the dishes were tender and you can tell they were cooked with love and mindful intention to please our palates! Thank you for the complimentary rice pudding and candies as palate cleanser Rom! We will return to try more dishes! read more

The environment is quite inviting, decorated with both Nepalese and Indian cultural art. Thank goodness played music from Nepal. Hate when I go into a restaurant to experience the food and the culture and they are playing Top 40music! The proprietor was quite attentive. The place was quite clean. And the food was delicious. A variety of Vegan dishes, too! Will be back! read more

Made a reservation over an hour in advance and was two minutes from being dropped off before getting a call canceling our reservation for a private event. If they knew that they were closed to the public, they should not have allowed reservations to be made and to not have waited to contact me for so long. Very disappointing business practice. read more

Little Sherpa offers an outstanding casual dining experience that you should try! From our first warm greeting by our server to the traditional after-dinner mukhwas, every bit of our time here with friends was worth celebrating. Each menu item we tried was flavorful with just the right amount of heat, cooked to perfection. We visited on a Thursday night, and the place was not very busy. With the quality of the experience this place should have a full house every night. BYOB - eat here! read more

The samosas were good but the rest of the dishes were not as flavorful. I had the yellow lentil dish and it was really mediocre. It also felt very deserted. No carry out or other diners. My dinner mate was also not into his food either. read more

Very good value... The very best butter chicken AND momos Very fine owners We will go back on a regular basis read more

The Little Sherpa isn't too fancy, but the service and the cooking are outstanding. The extensive menu includes both northern Indian and Nepalese dishes - we focused on the Nepalese ones and were glad we did. Nepal is a diverse country, about the same latitude and size as Florida. The cuisine is related to Indian, but with a Chinese flair, courtesy of its neighbor to the north with which it shares a 550 mile-long border. We started with Vegetable Samosas (plenty of flavor, mostly mashed potato inside, similar to Indian ones we've had before) but then were very impressed by the steamed Chicken Mo-Mos (9 dumplings with interesting Nepalese spices). The Nepalese chicken Keema Noodles were a spaghetti-like pasta with flavorful ground and sauteed chicken - with a hit of the special spicy soy (you might have to ask for it) it was really outstanding. But we saved some to take home to leave room for the star of the night: The Sherpa Thali Chicken - basically a full Nepalese meal on a platter. Several brass bowls held, in turn, a sort of butter chicken, a cauliflower dish, a yellow dhal, and a soaked cake desert, along with gorgeous loooong-grain rice (served with ghee) lovely mustard greens, and two kinds of pickle chutney. We we also served, on the house, a Rice Pudding desert which was fresh and not too sweet. We loved everything and hope to try more of the huge menu. read more

The Chicken Fried and steamed Mo Mo is outstanding, we had it today as well as the Peanut Sadheko, Little Sherpa Naan, and the fried cheese! I also had the I had Chicken Tikka Masala last week with a friend from work, "who had? I wish I could remember what it was", but I tried it and it was awesome! Wow, the flavors are so good, I can't wait to go back and try some of the other items on the menu! A must-try place with flavors that are uniquely delicious in the neighborhood! read more

What a great discovery! We were looking for something new and tasty and we ran across this family owned restaurant that opened a couple of years ago. The food is excellent. The service is great. I eat meat and prefer spicy and my husband does not. They accommodated us both. The owner is delightful and fun to talk with. We want to travel to Nepal and we will certainly be back. read more

Last night I ordered two chicken biryani's, 1 order of veggie samosa, tawa roti, garlic naan, and two fantas. The food was piping hot, fresh and delicious. read more

Wow. Steamed Momo, Butter Chicken, delicious dipping sauces. Everything infused with amazing spices and aromas. What a gem.

Pick up order: food cold ever though picked up early. Missing item, called and told me I had to go back to show them the bag???? I live 10 miles away. I asked for medium spicy, food not edible. I normally love this type of food and am always looking for a new place to try and recommend This place certainly will not be one of them Extremely dissappointed with the food and the rudeness from the person that took my call read more

My wife and I were looking for something to eat on our way home and we came across the little Sherpa. We dined in and enjoyed some of the best food we've had in a long time. Ram, the owner was so kind and gracious. It made it a great experience. Would highly recommend and we'll be back! read more

Good flavorful food Garlic naan bread is a must order with your meal Soup was excellent read more

Food was good with the just the right amount of spice. The only item that was lackluster was the Tandoori chicken. Very small pieces and not much flavor. Naan was delicious tasted more like paratha but delicious nonetheless. Give them a try read more

This place has fantastic food, and great service. It is better than all of Devon.....I will be back!!!

Sooooo good. All of it, seriously!! The curry is out of this world. The mo mo, what can I say, outstanding. The sauces are so delish. Oh wait, did I mention the service? They are so nice and welcoming. I love that place. Welcome to the neighborhood, Little Sherpa. read more

We ate at this sweet little restaurant and were delighted by the service and the food. We loved the steamed chicken dumplings (momo) and also feasted on the beautifully prepared tandoori chicken with a generous side order of lightly prepared naan. We want to quickly return with friends to try so many more of the Nepalese and Indian dishes. Restaurant was simple but charming. read more

Absolutely delicious food. Friendly and attentive service. Affordable prices. Highly recommend this place. A bonus -- free street parking! read more

Ordered for takeout. Ordered Dal, butter chicken, basmati rice (but rice did come with entrees), garlic naan. All was quite good. Will definitely get the naan and lentils again. Will likely try another meat dish. Will be back! read more

Just got carry out enjoying samosas, chicken vindaloo, aloo chop, and aloo gobi. I asked for medium spice and I got it. Perfectly spiced and delicious. I plan to return. read more

the food and service were excellent. New owners and they couldn't be nicer. And the food is delicious.

The Little Sherpa is a special little gem in Sauganash (right across the street from the Whole Foods at Cicero and Peterson). The space is thoughtfully decorated and very clean and the food is very delicious. A husband and wife team own the restaurant - he is very warm and provides friendly service; his wife cooks all the delicious meals in the back kitchen. The food is wonderfully seasoned, not greasy and very fresh. The meals are reasonably priced and the serving sizes generous. While they do take out, I highly encourage you to dine at the restaurant- you won't regret it. read more

We had an excellent dinner at this new Himalayan/Indian restaurant in Sauganash (across the street from the Whole Foods at Cicero and Peterson). The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated and has a pleasant atmosphere. The food is outstanding - fresh, very tasty and filling. The owner is cordial and accommodating. We will definitely be back soon, and we hope this remains a mainstay in the area. Note: it is BYOB. read more
