What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Himalayan Sherpa Kitchen is celebrated for its authentic and delicious Nepalese and Indian cuisine, with many diners praising the flavorful momos, curries, and tandoori dishes. The warm and courteous service contributes to a pleasant dining experience. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few patrons have noted inconsistency in spice levels or a perceived blandness in certain dishes, and occasionally found the service to be brusque.
"Himalayan Sherpa Kitchen, a small and cozy Nepalese place, is an excellent option for lunch or dinner. Seeing an Indian restaurant in the description initially scared me as I thought it could be too spicy, but the food was excellent and perfectly seasoned. Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Momo were great. The service was very welcoming. I definitely recommend this place."

"This restaurant is my favorite as a local, the food is always perfect every time. Service is top-notch and everything is delicious. My only feedback is that I wish that the food was spicier! I think their spicy is pretty mild and I want to be able to kneel at a medium haha. It's still delicious regardless."

"I grew up in St. Helena, my whole family would go out to eat here all the time. I have since moved to Wisconsin but I miss this place the most. Their food is perfection, and they have kept it that way for years. The server is the kindest woman you will ever meet, and their atmosphere is the best. I recommend this place to anyone visiting Napa, they don’t have restaurants like this in the midwest."
