This was some pf the most flavorful and good tasting food I have ever experienced in my life…read more Sherpa had great reviews and that held true for my experience. I had no idea I needed Nepalese/Tibetan/Indian food in my life. The smell as you walk into the restaurant immediately grabs your attention and lets you know you're in for an experience. Everything on the menu looked delectable and my only regret is that my stomach isn't big enough to have ordered every single thing on the menu. If k ever find myself in Amsterdam again I will undoubtedly be coming back to Sherpa.

Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines in the US, and I was happy to discover cuisines from so…read moremany cultures in Amsterdam as well. Sherpa also has a Tibetan and Nepalese twist, and the menu had so many new-to-me items, including Momos. The restaurant smells amazing when you walk in, so I knew that choosing an entrée would be difficult, especially with so many vegetarian options. I ordered the Tshel momos, which are stuffed with minced vegetables and steamed. They were served with a homemade tomato sauce that, while cold, complimented them perfectly. They were not spicy, which was different for me since I usually go for some form of noodles and love at least medium spice. My husband had the Yeti's Food- Stir fried noodles with boneless chicken and vegetables with Himalayan herbs. He usually goes for curry, so this was a change for him as well. Both of us really enjoyed our meals and are glad we went with something we've never seen in the US before. The service was great, and the servers brought out fresh papadam, raita, and some other condiments to try as soon as we were seated. They also kept our waters and my husband's beer filled and brought us Wilhelmina mints at the end of our meal with the check. Those mints are amazing and so much better than the US post-meal mints, and I had to buy a large package to take home! If you're looking for a culinary adventure in Amsterdam that is NOT Dutch food, check out Sherpa. Bonus points for being an easy walk from the museum district.

My boyfriend and I had a nice meal here on the way back from Rotterdam. The eggplant dish was one…read moreof the best I've ever had, if not THE best. The pappadums at the beginning were also amazing. However, they did not ask us how spicy we wanted the food, so it was not spicy at all. The house curry that comes with the meals is gross. Just avoid it. Be forewarned: you will come out smelling like the kitchen. Not worth a special trek but a good choice if you're in the neighborhood.

Very elegant interior, with tasteful decor, soft ambient music, best for couples, but also able to accommodate larger groups with a reservation. We were seated right away and greeted by our server Sona, very gracious, patient, attentive, and professional. She asked about any allergies and then took our order of chicken tikka saag and chicken tikka masala, both medium spiciness (also asked if we would like Indian medium or European medium--we chose Indian medium). These entrees come with rice, and we also ordered garlic naan. Immediately, they brought chilled bottled water and complimentary thin crispy cracker like bread with red sauce and green sauce (I didn't catch the names). I liked the green sauce better (mint), and my husband liked the red one better (tamarind)--both were lovely. About 20 minutes later, our entrees arrived piping hot, and cooked to perfection! Tender chicken, savory rich flavors in the masala and saag, both the right level of spicy for us! Glad we had enough rice and water! Excellent restaurant --Sona was amazing and the whole experience delicious!

The lamb saag was absolutely delicious and the salad was quite good as well. We weren't huge fans of the mixed tandoori plate, the flavors weren't very developed and it needed more spice, but we were overall satisfied with the service and the dining experience. It appears from the other reviews that the momos are one of the best things to eat here, but I personally couldn't because I am gluten free, so considering how delicious the saag is, I bet dishes other than the tandoori are very delicious as well! Overall I would recommend this place.

Amazing Indian dinner!…read more Mr & I were craving Indian food & Maharini was high on the Yelp rated list. They did us so right! We were very lucky as getting one of the last tables with no reservations - and within about 30 min, the place was completely packed Started out with the Vegetarian Samosas & they were just a bit spicy with a mixture of mashed veggies and whole peas- delicious! For our mains, we got the Supzi Kofta which had veggie dumplings in a hearty gravy. Also got Shahi Paneer & it was buttery & amazing. Naan to mop up all the delish sauces and we were stuffed! Helping of Channa masala also brought as a complimentary treat & the chickpeas were tender and flavorful Service was extremely nice & welcoming and the atmosphere was fun and festive
