Sherpa House Restaurant and Culture Center

Went here August 28 at 12:30 p.m. Great atmosphere. Only the garden was open for lunch. Lunch was a typical Indian food buffet. The Dal was more runny than I like, but the nan was ok. Average Indian food but a fun environment and a low price. The waiter was nice. A bottle of Menage a Trois Chardonnay at Target costs $8 and here they charge $9 for a glass, but it was quite full.

I was there for brunch last Saturday . I loved how all the employees were warm and welcoming . It was crowded since it was weekend cuz we wanted to stay outdoor however it was all occupied so we had to stay indoor . We order House Sampler (non veg ) which was average comfort Nepali food . The fried dumplings chicken momo were so juicy and delicious . It comes in 6 or 12 PCs . And we ordered 12 . Had a great homely experience here 🥰

They offer a delicious lunch buffet, highly recommended. We also opted for the combination dumplings that did not disappoint. We would come back just for those. The dip is delicious and spicy but add a little yogurt sauce if you like a more mild spicy without skimping on the flavor. The buffet options were not overwhelming and everything was tasty. The patio is dog friendly and they staff are super attentive and accommodating. If you visit Golden this should be on the top of your list. The patio is its own little oasis.

Great place for a little change from your regular routine. Food is very tasty but not spiced hot. Buffet is a favorite, but one can order from a menu. Service was spotty with misunderstanding of item requests and lack of follow up. Seating outside is outstanding.

Excellent food, served quickly and hot! Our Waiter did an awesome job with our group. Our party of 5 all enjoyed everything we tasted. I had the meat sampler and the portion was very generous, I could finish it all but I was stuffed! The chai tea latte was the only item I did not like, it lacked the flavor of the traditional chai spices. The ambiance was great and the restaurant designed I feel like captured the essence of Nepal. You also have the opportunity to round up to help support their community initiatives in Nepal.

I am a big fan of Indian and Nepalese food and I was eager to try the Sherpa House when I heard about it. Myself and a friend had made plans to visit the Colorado Railroad Museum in the morning and top off our visit to Golden with lunch at the Sherpa House. We were not disappointed. Arriving at the restaurant in separate cars we both found parking easily. You have to smile at the gorgeous landscaping and what I believe to be authentic decor throughout the grounds. We were seated immediately and enjoyed eating outdoors on their patio surrounded by a waterfall and Tibetan prayer flags flapping gently on a beautiful day. They call themselves a restaurant and Cultural Center with good reason. There are plenty of small signs explaining the many exotic items they have. We both had the lunch buffet. It had a nice selection of offerings. We started with a bowl of Lamb Stew that set our tastebuds up for the other dishes we sampled - all good. We were not rushed in any way and enjoyed good service. To top off our visit we made a stop at their gift shop which had a nice variety of Asian garments, incense and other items. If you are looking for something different from standard burger menus and American fare this is the place to be.

Went in thinking “medium” spice would be a friendly handshake. Turns out, it was more like a playful slap to the face—with chili. 🌶️😂 The service? Amazing. They treated me like royalty. The food? Incredible—flavors so good I almost forgave my taste buds for filing a complaint. The medium spice? Let’s just say it’s clearly calibrated for people who wrestle fire for breakfast. Meanwhile, I was sitting there negotiating with my water glass like it was my lawyer. Still, every bite was worth it. 10/10 would recommend—just maybe start with “mild” unless your tongue has a gym membership. 💪🔥 ✨We tried (and pictured): chicken momo dumplings, chicken vindaloo, vegetable chow mein, and the garlic & cheese naan.

The decor of this place is amazing—it really gives you the feeling of being in a mountain lodge in Nepal. The restaurant has several different dining rooms, each with its own vibe. There's also a bar and a terrace. Now for the downside: the service is not great. Maybe it’s a cultural difference, but the staff wasn’t very attentive and came across as a bit rude. They kind of pushed us to go for the $20 buffet, which wasn’t bad, but didn’t offer many options. Most of the food was basic—mainly vegetables and rice. Again, it’s not terrible, but for that price, it should offer more variety or cost less. Still, it was a nice discovery overall.
