Sherpa Cafe

This may possibly be the best Nepalese-Tibetan-Indian restaurant in Colorado (which is seriously saying something, considering how many Tibetan restaurants there are, especially in Boulder.) We order garlic naan, hot chai, chicken momo, and chicken makhani. The flavor on all of these were rich, strong, and delightfully balanced. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also wonderful. There was a Dalai Lama shrine inside that looked like it was probably from Nepal itself. This will now be a vital stop for me every time I come through Gunnison. If you are coming through, you’ve gotta stop here!

Absolutely delicious and authentic. I definitely will be back and I live over 700 miles away.

Delicious food and great experience all around! Vegetarian options and tasty!

Wasn’t expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. Ordered takeout and it was delish. Chicken tikka, veggie korma, and some raisin /coconut naan was perfect for 3-4 people. Was super flavorful. Will be back here again if we stop in Gunnison.

We visited Sherpa Cafe on a Sunday evening, and the experience was quite enjoyable. Our family of five was seated promptly at a table that fit us comfortably, though it was close to a ceiling speaker that was a bit louder than preferred. Despite that, we were able to chat without too much difficulty. Service was efficient; our drinks and silverware arrived quickly, and our orders were taken soon after. We started with cheese naan and vegetable samosas. The naan had a nice texture and was fresh, though I think I'd prefer trying the garlic naan next time for more flavor. The samosas were tasty, but I found them lacking a bit of heat compared to what I'm used to. Two of our kids ordered chicken fingers, which came with a generous portion of fries, while the third enjoyed the Beef Momos. He found them juicy and reminiscent of soup dumplings, although he wasn't a fan of the accompanying sauce. My wife had the Paneer Korma, which she liked a lot but couldn't finish, and I opted for the Chicken Makhani, which turned out to be essentially Butter Chicken. It was delicious, and like the others, I ended up with leftovers. While the initial service was quick, it took longer than expected to receive our to-go boxes and check, which added about 20-30 minutes to our visit. Overall, I'd recommend Sherpa Cafe. If you're not seeking spicy dishes, it's a solid choice for a family meal.

We loved it! Food was delicious and authentic! We got the samosas, garlic naan, chicken chow mein and chicken fried rice. Excellent! We cant wait to go back!

The food is excellent. Great flavors! I ordered the chai tea, lentil soup, and the chicken in a creamy tomato curry. Very delicious. The service was not extremely fast, but we were not in a hurry. We enjoyed the outdoor sitting.

Everything was really good, but the chicken makhani was exceptional, and the coconut raisin naan was amazing. My husband had the garlic and cheese naan and momo dumplings and both were very good, too. There's also so lovely decor. Our server was very friendly and the food was served fairly quickly.

Best Nepalese food I have ever had! We ordered a few dishes to share, every one of them is delicious!!!

The Sherpa Cafe was an awesome surprise. We stopped in for dinner and got seated quickly. Our drink and order also quickly taken. It did take a bit for food to come out due to the large quantity of online and call in orders... When the food came out it was spectacular. My wife and I shared the Sherpa stew and the chowmain both came out very hot. It should be a crime to make food that incredible but that hot. Thank you Sherpa Cafe for the great meal.

Vibrant, casual restaurant serving good food. Our waiter was helpful and kind. We ordered family style and were able to quickly get in an out half an hour before close. Food came very fast. Prices were decent. The coconut and raisin naan was superb! Chicken tikka masala curry was great, momos were a bit oily and meat kind of dry (but well seasoned). The chow mein was tasty and saucy but much too salty for us. Overall I think it depends on your personal taste and what you pick from the menu but it was decent and exactly what we wanted for dinner. I would definitely try it again.

Delicious Indian food can be hard to find in a small town. Definitely found it here. And reasonably priced too! We tried some of the curry and saag. The naan was the best part in my opinion!

The family tried this place while on vacation and we were surprised at the quality of the food. Some of the locals recommended this place and we were glad we tried it. We tried the somosas, chicken tikki masala, garlic naan and a cold mango drink. The drink was a little thicker that other places in Houston we've tried, but it had a good taste. The other dishes were on point. The maps on the tables add a unique touch for those who aren't familiar where in the world these dishes originate from. Go ahead and try this place out if you're in Gunnison Colorado. The waiters look comfortable in their laid back attire, but don't let that fool you, they were good and attentive.

One of the best vegetable korma meals I’ve ever had! Had broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, cashew, carrots… And can’t go wrong with their garlic naan. Such a great spot.

After spending the whole day at Crested Butte Mountain Resort; my friend and I were driving around town and saw this place. The staffs greeted us in. We waited for about 20 minutes before we were seated. We ordered Vegetable Pakora, Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Sherpa Stew. WOW! Everything was delicious! My friend and I were impressed with the quantity and quality of food, affordable prices, and outstanding customer service. The wait was definitely worth it and will definitely be back!

Wow. The Sherpa Stew and Saag were phenomenal! The chicken, beef, and lamb were all melt in your mouth perfection. Naan never disappoints either. It’s different from the Ethiopian style I’ve had before; it’s more dense and less crispy. The flavors in everything just popped. The turmeric and cumin will clear your sinuses. No need to spoil these delicious dishes with hot sauce or condiments. This was my first time having Nepalese cuisine and will be keeping an eye out for it elsewhere. I could not have had a better first impression besides actually being in Nepal maybe.

Excellent food and very fast service. Highly recommend the chai and the vegetable momo and the chicken saag. Everything was delicious!

Driving through Gunnison for overnight stay, found this cafe on Google. Who would think you find a restaurant ran by Native Nepalese. My husband and I ordered Sherpa sampler (chicken curry, cream spinach, naan, steam rice and rice pudding dessert) for $25. It was plenty for the two of us. The service was quick. We didnt experience any of the negativity per other reviews posted here. This is by far the cheapest dinner for us in the past 2.5nweeks road trip. So we dont understand why others complained the high price. Their curry is as good as we tasted somewhereselse. I think what people dont understand is that with Nepal borders Indian, China & Tibet, the culinary blended. Its just like curry taste different from different regions in India. You cannot say the curry in Sherpa is bad. They just have their own taste which may not be what you used to. Anyway, we enjoy our dinner there and was well taken care of with quick service. (Forgot to take pictures of our food. We devoured it)

The food was beyond our expectations. The Sherpa stew was fantastic along with the Naan bread was great. When we are the area again we will be stopping in again for the best Tibetan food around.

Excellent Quality Food .. Awesome Ambience..Very nice vibe moment you enter .Staff was awesome too.. highly recommend … Prices are genuine too …
