We went to Manitou Springs just to try this restaurant. The place is clean and the restrooms are clean. The facade is deceptive in the sense that it gives you an impression that the place is really small but when you get inside, it's quite spacious. The decor is nice with framed pictures and multicolored flags. They also have baby high chairs available. Service was excellent. You are greeted right away at the entrance. Our order was prepared in a timely manner. Food came out hot and in pretty receptacles. Food was amazing. We got vegetable samosas which came in crispy and hot. It was one of the best samosas we've had. The lamb biryani, chicken tikka masala and lamb saag were superb. We weren't able to finish everything so they gave us paper boxes and plastic bins for the ones with sauces. I would recommend this restaurant even if you are not in the area. Just call first to make sure they are open for the day. Also if you are a party of 7 or more, you have to call first for a reservation. read more

The food is a 4, the manning/ management is a 3. That's a harsh way to start this review off but it needs to be noted the restaurant could easily be a 5. The flavors are good, the menu is well thought out, but the restaurant needs to hire more people both in the kitchen and out in the dining room. We came in fairly early in the night and were offered a 20 minute wait. We watched as the hostess struggled to manage a continuously growing table list as well as bussing the tables that were occupied. After 20 minutes we were finally seated... in a table that had sat vacant the entire time we waited; however a group of five had finally departed. It became clear at that point, there was also a kitchen flow issue as they could only support turning around far less meals than the restaurant could seat. It's clear this is a popular restaurant and the food clearly supports it; however, it's in desperate need of personnel especially as it moves into busier summer months. read more

Seriously some of the best food I've had in the springs. Not huge portions, but the quality was worth the price. We an appetizer and 3 entrees for 5 people (3 adults and 2 kids) and it was the perfect amount of food. read more

Wandered in to Norbu's on our first visit to Manitou Springs and how lucky we were! The food was so flavorful and the service gracious! If you have the chance definitely stop here! We had the veg korma, paneer Shahi and garlic naan - iced chai was great too!!! read more

I'd highly recommend this place to anyone with an adventurous palate. Even then it's not really that spicy or exotic, just well flavored chicken and veggie dishes. Tasted amazing after a long day of hiking. Got the vegetable samosa and chicken tikka and would definitely order both of those again. Service was great. Cool cultural ambiance that lets the food shine read more

Love this place. Glad for the food that was so good. From the outside it doesn't look so spacious but inside it's very cozy, smell of food permeates as soon as you enter. There is another dining area in the back. The server was quick to greet a welcoming ask of how many people The ambiance is so eclectic with touches of things hung from the ceiling like ivy, lights; and on the walls. Place looks clean even on a dark cold Sunday night outside, almost an hour until closing time. Seems to be unkept throughout a busy day. Ordered chicken pakora, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, lamb saag and chicken tandoori. The chicken pakora was fried crispy and served with green chutney and tamarind sauce. Lamb saag was delicious with lamb cooked tender and not gamey. Garlic naan came out hot and super buttery, garlicky pillowy soft. Tikka masala had the right creamy texture and color. Only small nice to have would be a little bit more tomato flavor would make it perfect. The chicken tandoori size was very generous. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the sauce with sauted with green peppers elevated the taste. The chicken tandoori was definitely my favorite!!! All were ordered to be mild and they came out perfect. read more

I took my Dad two nights ago during a visit to Manitou Springs. The food was incredible - I got chicken tikka masala and Dad got Lamb Tikka Masala. Such rich flavor and the garlic naan was fresh and so good. The maharaja beer complemented it nicely. The server was friendly and fast. Will be back in my next visit. read more

Amazing food , service . We tried the butter chicken and the curry and garlic Naan. We showed up just as they were closing and waved us in and highly recommend this spot. read more

We really enjoyed our meals here! Everything was delicious; Best naan I have every had, both the Chicken Curry and Chicken Vindaalo was amazing along with the best basmati rice! Service was very good and food served quickly! I highly recommend visiting here and I will be back for seconds! read more

This place truly exceeded my expectations. The chana saag and the chicken tikka masala were fantastic. Hell, they even looked great in contrast to each other on the plate! The samosa was nice and flakey/crispy. Service was prompt and professional if not saccharine sweet. (So, sweet enough to hit the sweet spot, I guess.) Got a place on the balcony to watch people go by, and it was a good spot for a summer lunch. Even on a busy weekend, we were able to be seated without much. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for an alternative to bars or burgers/beer in the area. read more

This place is wonderful! I dont get to come often because its a bit of a drive for me, but whenever I do eat here the food is so delicious, and has a nice environment. The waitress that has served me the last couple times of coming is always so kind. This place never seems like it gets the attention it deserves!! read more

The food here is excellent and is great if you've spent the day hiking in the area. It's served family style. The restaurant is clean and the service was friendly. The food was made very quickly and our large party was helped quickly. I recommend the maharaja beer if you haven't had it before. It pairs very well with mild to medium spice. The chicken korma was also a stand out among the food and was especially good. read more

What a hidden gem... incredible flavor. Exquisite presentation and friendly service. The restaurant is decorated well. But again, the food is why you come. Me, my wife and both kids simply loved everything about the experience. 10 stars out of 5! Would have taken photos, but nothing is left! *When* we return, I'll remedy that. Come eat here. Enjoy! read more

Solid Indian style cuisine on Main Street in Manitou Springs. Parking will need to be paid parking pretty much. Their service/table turnaround is pretty bad and it'll take a while to get seated and ready to order. There is inside and outside seating. Their food is solid and priced decently reasonable considering the location. We got the chicken Makani, chicken tikki masala, and butter naan. Everything was well seasoned and we ate everything. Really nice vibe sitting outside, enjoying the weather, and being on Main Street and watching the happenings. read more

Delicious food, quick, and staff was so friendly and helpful. Naan is among the best I've ever had!

Excellent Indian and Tibetan food, especially for a tourist area. Good vegetarian selection. Everything was on point. Nice friendly service.

A perfect bite to eat tucked away in the mountains. This Nepalese place had a wide variety of flavors and food choices. It would be perfect for bigger groups to try more of the menu. I only wish the lassi was sweeter. read more

The food was excellent and just what we needed after a full day of hiking. The veggie samosas were crispy, and the rice was pillowy. The creamy butter chicken is one of the best we've ever had. The aloo gobi hit the spot. The garlic naan was heavenly. The only critique I have is the consistency of the cilantro and tamarind chutney, which were watery, and I'm used to a thicker consistency. But they were still delicious. The service was quick, attentive, and friendly. We were seated right away, and we enjoyed the chill ambiance of the place. From start to finish, we were very happy with the taste and food portions, service, ambiance, and price point ($17 per dish and $8 for the samosas). Street parking is a bit hard to find during prime dinner time, but we eventually found one a block or so from here. Definitely will be coming back here when in the area! read more

Visiting from California and found this place. It's so good we ate here 2 nights in a row. The shahi paneer is amazing, best we've ever had. The butter chicken is great. My only complaint is that the chicken was overcooked. So, I ordered butter shrimp on day 2. I'm still giving it 5 stars, though. The naan is crispy and delicious. Brutus the server is a rock star. read more

The food was amazing and quick. The service was great, friendly and accommodating. The Himalayan Moscow mule is soooo good.

Lamb saag and veggie samosas; perfect. Mango Lassi delicious. Very fast service and just what we needed after a long drive! Cute and clean with two dining areas and decor. Not crowded with tables well spaced. read more

Traveled through town and spent the night on the way across Colorado. Place is A+ for food and atmosphere. We did only have three things on the menu 1) Lamb Saag which we ordered 3/5 for spiciness 2) veggie Samosa (2 per order) and 3) a Mango Lassi. All was top flight. If the other items on the menu are this good you shouldn't be disappointed. Come here and eat! read more

A tasty treat at manitou springs! We went here after a trip to the top of Pikes Peak. Shoutout to the guy who was basically servicing every table by himself! The food was great. Probably the best chicken tandoori I've had. Great samosas, but I've had better chicken tikka masala. It was still flavorful however. The biryani was really good as well. Their nan was slightly on the sweeter side, but man, so good! read more

I had their chicken makhani. The sauce was made to perfection! I was a bit disappointed as the chicken meat was a bit too rough - otherwise, this dish would have been perfect. Also had their papad appetizer. Great service by the staff. read more

Fantastic little place with a great atmosphere... super nice staff. I had their Chicken Makhani, also known as butter chicken, which was fabulous! Sweet, savory, with some rice and naan... remarkable! I also had a chai tea... not usually my thing, but it was great here. Highly recommend! read more

Wow! This place was excellent - so excellent I am writing this still sitting in the restaurant. I had Saag with Lamb and medium spice and my wife had daal and Lamb Saag with no spice. They happily made it with coconut cream and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite of each of our dishes except a tiny bit that my wife is taking home. Medium spice was probably a bit closer to mild, but that was just right. Our server was attentive and friendly and did a good job of answering all of our questions. The restaurant is in an old building on Main St that feels like most of the Nepalese places I've been. read more

Very nice atmosphere and polite wait staff. Food just average. We had veg pakora to start and those were quite enjoyable, I will say. For main dish I had chicken curry that was supposedly "Nepalese style" but it tasted like every other curry I've had at an Indian restaurant only not as good. I felt like they phoned it in. My husband had Aloo Gobi and he was not terribly impressed. Naan and rice were good. I hate that this sounds negative but it definitely wasn't the best Indian food I've had in my life; neither was it the worst. At least it wasn't one of the mediocre bar and grills that Manitou has a million of. read more

I am in nooo way exaggerating when I say my family is BEYOND picky eaters with my husband and kids... but we all couldn't put down the food!!! We happened to stumble into this restaurant and couldn't be happier to add another place to re visit. Not only was the food amazing, it was reasonably priced and we were too stuffed to even finish. With that being said, THE SERVICE WAS AMAZING!! I had never had Himalayan food, and the young lady was soo patient with me while I asked a bunch of questions to make sure it was something my kids would even try. We will definitely be regulars!!! ---- on another note... it's 10:27PM while I post this... and thinking about the food while posting a picture made me and my husband hungry again read more

The service was good, but I found the food to be lacking in flavor. I've never wished for salt when eating Himalayan food until eating here. Also, the chai was the worst chai I've ever had in my entire life - I'm not sure, but maybe it was instant? Manitou Springs doesn't have a lot of dinner fare, so (that being said) I'd probably return. read more

We love this place! There are very few good Indian restaurants in the area and we are so happy to have Norbu here in Manitou. It's authentic and every dish is fantastic. From the naan, the dal to the butter chicken and vindaloo and biryanis, it's all good! read more

Amazing food and service! Ambiance was great but the showstopper is the food! Will 1000000% come back here when I visit COS again.

Love me some Norbu's! Great food, drinks and naan. Service is always great. Good chill vibe inside.

Delicious! Highly recommend stopping by. Such an amazing assortment of flavors. Yum!!
