Sherpa Kitchen

The atmosphere is subpar with booth seating and fluorescent lighting. Plates came out with a sticky residue, though could be the finish as they were plastic. The bathroom was dirty, the floor had mud tracks all over which could be in part due to it being mud season, but we came exactly at 5pm which is opening of the restaurant.

However, upon walking through the front door, the foods smell fragrant and amazing. Prices are very reasonable. Most dishes between $12-15. We had the combination dumplings, which were good, the vegetable stew, which as piping hot with good flavor (my favorite), the chicken tikka masala (not my favorite, it was sweet and tasted a little burnt) and the Sherpa bread, which was essentially a rolled steamed bun. Overall, the food was and service was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Maybe would've been better as take out??

My favorite restaurant in Burlington. As a fan of Indian food, I at first had trouble finding a satisfactory Indian-style (Nepalese) dinner in Burlington. I have visited many times and it is first on my list to bring people out. Some of my favorite dishes are the vegetable pakora, the beef thukpa, the samosas, and the beef momo. I always order the hot chai. Each dish has a very complex flavor profile, with spice mixes which differ from typical indian fare due to the nepalese origin.

The pakora batter is delicious and perfectly compliments both of the chutneys which are beautifully striped across the dish. This dish has the best presentation, and I always order it when I bring people with me here. The samosas have a similar flavor profile, but are a more hearty app due to their potato filling.

The beef thukpa comes in the most delicious beef broth I have ever experienced. Typically it is impossible to find beef dressed in indian spices, but this dish shows the strength of the combination. This dish combines the best parts of ramen, indian spices, and beef stew and is perfect to warm up on a rainy day. The broth makes it super filling, and I have a hard time ordering anything else anymore.

The beef momos have a totally different vibe but are equally delicious. The soft cool dough brings some balance to the spicy meat inside. Like every dish, the flavor is complex and unique.

The staff are always super helpful, and have treated me well both when I have come alone, and with others. The location is great and there is often street parking within a block. Super cool decor inside, and super reasonably priced.

My partner and I came in for lunch, they had great lunch specials with perfect portions. Not too big for lunch, yet you're definitely full after all of the courses.

The food was delicious. I personally could've had a bit more spice on the chicken masala, I'm Mexican, but it was still delicious without it. I recommend the lentil soup and the chai! Definitely worth a try and worth the price.

It was first time ever having Nepalese or Himalayan food and must say I was impressed. We wanted to try something new and some of the other people we had spoken to highly recommended the Sherpa Kitchen. It was a short walk from our hotel so we gave it a try. It's very small but when we arrived there wasn't a crowd at all. I think we came right before the lunch rush around 11:30 am. You seat yourself and there only appeared to be one waiter working. He brought out water in the cutest hand made copper cups.

I chose to get the lunch special that came with deep fried onions, a homemade lemonade, and the lamb curry with rice. Everything was absolutely delicious and not too spicy. The lamb was very tender and didn't taste too gamey. Service was quick and the waiter was very friendly. The prices were reasonable as well. My lunch special was 16.99 and it was enough to fill me up. We also had a platter of the MoMo's. They are steamed dumplings filled with veggies, Chicken, or beef. The platter had 4 of each. I preferred the veggie ones. To me they had the most flavor.

I absolutely love the food and service at the Sherpa Kitchen. I ordered the chicken tiki masala lunch special and it was delicious. The Momo's are also very good, think of them as a Nepalese dumpling. Very affordable for Burlington and the surrounding area. I recommend doing some book shopping at the many local bookstores and finish with lunch at Sherpa Kitchen. You won't regret it.

Wonderful experience! Some friends and I stopped in for lunch and enjoyed everything we ordered. The spiced tea was refreshing, my chicken tikka masala was perfect. Plus, our server was extremely tentative and friendly throughout our visit. I would definitely recommend Sherpa Kitchen!

Love the service had a great time fun for the family amazing food and cool little restaurant cool cup and very busy

Ordered dinner to go to break my fast and received cold food. I received more curry than actual vegetables. Maybe this restaurant was good back in the days, but not so much now. I would try it again but i don't want to waste $40 again.

Amazing food! I have never tried Nepali food before but everything we tried was so good! Vegetable soup, vegetable lo mien, vegetable momos. The iced tea was chai spiced and very tasty. The service was slow but the food was so good it didn't even bother us!

I ordered the chicken Momos and they were delicious. I ate them as my meal so I was happy with the portion size. I would definitely return on my next trip to Burlington.
