Himalayan Sherpa kitchen

The food is so flavorful and authentic here. I love Nepali food and this is the best Nepali restaurant I have tried in the US. Everything from appetizers to chai tasted great. I tried their signature dish chili momos and the staff is so amazing, they served me rice pudding and a side of rice free with it cuz they thought I might find it spicy. Staff is really warm and welcoming. Definitely going to keep going there often.

One of the best Nepali restaurant I have ever eaten at outside Nepal. We drove all the way from Madison to Chicago and found this place by chance. Momos and Nepali thali was authentic and super delicious. Service too good. Mr.Bhim and his colleague really took care of us. This is a small restaurant with a big heart.

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.

Y'all need to come here. It was so good. It was empty and it shouldn't be empty people! It was absolutely delicious. They care so much about their food. It was healthy and nourishing. It was the kind of food that makes a city special. We particularly enjoyed the steamed dumplings and Kwaat Daal. Garlic Naan was also delish.

I was initially a bit skeptical about trying Nepalese food since I had never tasted it before, but a good friend encouraged me to give it a try — and I was pleasantly surprised. As a vegetarian, I focused only on the vegetarian dishes, and both the appetizers and entrées were excellent. The food was flavorful and can be customized to any spice level. The owner, Bhimji, was exceptionally pleasant, courteous, and helpful, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely visit again the next time I’m in Chicago.

Had a nice dinner here with a friend after work. Service: our server was attentive. He gave me a heads up about the goat dish I was planning to order being somewhat dry, so I opted for a goat curry instead. Food: The goat meat was reasonably good, and the sauce itself was divine, with warm cinnamon dancing on the tastebuds. The rice was a good texture. My friend ordered chicken momos, and I tried one with its dipping sauce. The momo itself was ok. The dipping sauce: I’ve never had a sauce that tasted like it. I didn’t really like it, but I found it very interesting and respected the novelty. Atmosphere: The restaurant is relatively small and intimate. The vibe was quieter than I expected, almost like a bookstore or a library. Give this place a shot - I bet their other menu items are pretty good!

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.

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.
