Great authentic Nepalese restaurant. Good value for money. Service was very friendly. If you are in a rush this is not the place. Food was very good. The lunch special is a great deal. Lunch deal portions are adequate. One of us had the beef chow mein which was amazing and a big portion. The lentil soup and the mango drink were also really good. The restaurant atmosphere is ok, not a cozy place, a little bleak.
TLDR: Sherpa Kitchen is on the more pricey side but I was paying for quality. Sherpa Kitchen has incredible flavor, a fun atmosphere, and a down home vibe. It is worth a visit. Or 10. The results at Sherpa, from my experience, are always consistent. The momo was made to order and was soft with an elegant roll. They were generously filled and seasoned. Sometimes momo wrappers can get slimy or the wrapper is too thick but not so with these. The wrapper is just the right width and presents the perfect stage to the let the filling and the chutney shine. There is a great crunch with the pakora. The sour and savory notes play nicely. Combination Momo $14.99 Pakora $6.50 Soda: $2.00 Grand total: $23.49 $23.49 seems steep for one person but here’s why I’m convinced it is worth every penny: 1.) Sherpa Kitchen is one of the few places in Burlington with these dishes and flavors. Going is a unique experience, 2.) The food is great and there are many leftovers, 3.) Sometimes they run specials that make the food less expensive. They also sometimes have a buffet that can lower the cost. I also liked the welcoming vibe, as if I was walking into an Auntie’s kitchen. They were sweet and helpful but one of the elder ladies joked about why I needed 3 orders of dumplings. I thought it was funny. It’s one of those special places where you know the employees and the owner are genuine people who truly treat dining in as an experience to be had not just food to serve. The food alone is worth a visit. I was fine paying for quality and I enjoyed dining in. If you like a fun, laid back dining experience with quality food, and great flavor Sherpa Kitchen is a good choice.
Sherpa Kitchen has long been a regular spot for years and I’m just getting around to reviewing. We’re sitting in a booth, people watching out the windows and have just enjoyed three lunch specials which include a drink, an app and a main. It comes on the coolest metal tray. The food has always been top notch, very consistent spice levels each time we’ve come. My 8 year old gets a “no spice” and it truly has no spice. I’ve forgotten to take photos but will next time we come.
Great food and staff are very nice. The place is clean with relaxing vibes.
Delicious food at a very affordable price! We first had a couple of lunch specials. It included one drink, one appetizer, and one main course item. Various options were available for the drinks, the appetizers, and the main course items. The owner was very humble and we enjoyed a nice conversation with him. The restaurant also had a nice ambience. We liked the food so much that we again went back on the same day to order takeout for dinner. This time we ordered chicken chowmein and chicken sherpa stew. Both were delicious!
Had a wonderful quiet dinner on a very, very busy graduation weekend. Made a reservation and was in and out in about an hour. The momo were exceptional and service wasn’t rushed. The prices were very reasonable. Four people with plenty of of food 75.00 excluding tip. Unheard of in Burlington. Thanks for a nice dinner celebrating my daughter’s Honors Graduation.
We got the Lamb Thukpa, Beef Momo, and Lamb Vindaloo and it was delicious! Very friendly and prompt service.
We had an absolutely delicious dinner here. They have many vegan options. The two we had were great (try the eggplant dish - it’s out of this world). Such interesting and scrumptious seasonings - we’re not that familiar with Nepalese food, and this was a great introduction. The waitperson was friendly and very helpful in identifying which menu items were free of animal products. The setting is casual and comfortable; and as I said, the food was so very good. This restaurant is well worth a visit; whether you’re a vegan or an omnivore, you will get a great meal! Highly recommended.
really excellent. the food is great and I love that the platter we got included dessert rice pudding and mango lassi
I’m a BHS student, and this is week 5 of my 🍴Student Eateries Series🍴 Today is a very stressful testing day, so I decided to treat myself with some Asian food. This is the only Asian restaurant opened near BHS, so I decided to go here. This restaurant by far might have the most positive and the most kind waiter EVER. He was very kind to me, constantly asking if I needed anything! Overall just a very kind server. The atmosphere was also good, chill music, a bathroom near by, overall very clean. I ordered some beef momos and a daal soup. The daal soup was warm and comforting, just what you could expect in a daal soup. The star of the show is definitely the beef momos. Very flavorful, and the mono sauce is AMAZING, YOU HAVE TO TRY IT! Overall, this restaurant performed great in every aspect, but the service might be a 6 star. I definitely think this is the best Nepalese restaurant in Burlington! DOES THIS STORE ACCEPT DIGITAL PAYMENT? Partially. This store accepts Apple Pay and Google Pay, but may not accept PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, etc.
