Himalayan Sherpa kitchen

Hands down the BEST butter chicken I have ever had in the United States, and I have lived all over! The staff were amazing very on point when it came to service. Very pleasant to talk to. Atmosphere A+ I came in at random as it was by my hotel and sat down and chatted with strangers. Overall an amazing restaurant with amazing staff. I will make this my go to spot every time I come to Chicago!

Himalayan Sherpa kitchen offers a diverse and flavorful experience, blending influences from Tibetan, Indian, and Chinese culinary traditions. It often features hearty dishes utilizing local ingredients such various meats and vegetables, and unique spices, often with a focus on warming and nutritious meals suitable for Chicago's climates.

The food is amazingly authentic Nepali food. We had momos (dumplings), curries, naan bread and rice pudding and it was all amazing. The price was a bit high but this is speciality food in downtown Chicago so it is hard to complain. Parking added into the total so that it was a pretty expensive lunch, all in all. The staff was incredibly warm, friendly and welcoming. I know it is stereotyping which is not good (or wholly accurate) but my experience with Nepali folk has always been very positive. The restaurant was in a bit of an old and rundown building but they did a good job of decorating in a way that largely covered up the age of the structure. Regrettably, in the restrooms, the age and rundown nature of the building was on full display. Pro Tip This amazing shop is just down the street a block or two from the Greyhound Bus Station (and similarly near Union Station and Clinton Subway station, which connects directly to O'Hare) so if you have a layover in Chicago, this is the place to spend it.

Food was ok... Samosa was a little stale but the fries were really good. Loved the crunchy fries! ❤️ Had to ask twice for the side though... It's a decent spot to stop by for a quick bite on the way.

The food here is absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors. The environment is fantastic, and I confidently recommend it to anyone seeking genuine Nepalese cuisine in the Chicago area.💕

I am a super picky eater so when I went here for the first time, I ordered a lot of different food to try. Plus my daughter loves Indian so I had promised her left overs. Everything was phenomenal. The spicy dumplings, the samosas, the chicken curries, the bread. It was the best Indian food that I have ever had. My friend got the butter chicken and she said it was the best she ever had as well. The restaurant itself was very plain but it was clean. The bathroom was clean. Lots of vegetation options. I had the vegetarian samosas and they were crunchy and delicious. Truly just a hidden gem of food. People were all friendly and service was fast and professional. Check it out you won't regret it!

Delicious food. The goat curry was bomb. Chicken momo are great too.

I can not understand for the life of me, why would this establishment think it's okay to charge $16.00 for Rice & Gravey? The quality of chicken is Thigh meat(dark meat).You are charging top tier prices for lower grade like it's Breast meat(white meat) Then it's not even seasoned there is no flavor to this food just spice & heat. I refuse to support this restaurant with their low budget food, Terrible Customer service & Overly priced food.

I am so glad I came here for lunch! The food was flavorful, decently priced, and the service was efficient and helpful. If you've never had a Momo they're kind of like dumplings in that they can be filled with meat or veggies and are often either fried or steamed. But the flavor profiles of Momo's to dumplings are VERY different. I've had a lot of Momo's and I've never been too big on them, but this place changed my perspective. Their C-Momo's were crispy on the outside juicy on the inside and had a great meat to dough ratio. But the best part about it was the spice! I told the waitress I love spice and my word they spice it up. I love when a place isn't afraid to make their dishes spicy! The chili sauce on the Momos not only enriched the flavor and juiciness of the Momos, but also compliments the sweet bell peppers in the dish as well. Overall, the dish was great explosion of flavor, textures, and heat. If you like chili chicken, it's a similar flavor, but a very heightened chili taste. I also got the Mustange Piro Aloo. It's this crispy but soft potato dish that also has an excellent dry spicy. I will warn you these potatoes come out HOT so definitely wait for a bit to let them cool. This dish also has a similar spice level to the c Momos. But unlike the Momos, the aloo is a dry spice that has a closer flavor profile Szechuan food. Not the numbing nature of it, but use of toasted dry spice with that pepper heat. The flavor was great but my favorite part of this dish was how perfectly cooked my potatoes was. It has a nice thin crisp with a soft and pillowy interior and with the dry spices it creates a great balance. I highly recommend getting these dishes spicy. If the heat is too much wash it down with some of their Kheer (rice pudding)

Great spot and delicious food with kind service. Love chicken curry and lamb curry with naan bread.affordable price.will be back.
