    Momos
    Christina L.

    Got dinner here for the first time last week after the Stern Grove festival - what a treat! We ordered the momos platter, explosive chicken, sizzling lamb plate, and Kukhra Bhanta (eggplant and chicken). The service was fast and friendly! The space is very large, well decorated, and good for groups. The lamb was a bit dry but we loved the explosive chicken and eggplant chicken the most.

    We ordered a Bhanta dip, chicken makhmali, biryani with chicken, and chicken tandoori. We noticed after we ordered that we ordered so much chicken dishes haha Nonetheless, it was all very yummy. I loved eating the chicken makhmali with the biryani. The sauce is so creamy/buttery. The tandoori chicken is always my favorite thing to get, love the Smokey flavor on it and the spices. Honestly, wasn't a huge fan of the bhanta dip - didn't really taste eggplant.

    Food, yummy the samosa was fresh from the fryer and the Indo-chow-main hit the spot perfectly spicy and tasty. Got it to go after my massage next door but will dine in next time as the inside is so cute

    Welcome to the neighborhood Himalayan/Nepalese food cuisine! You have no idea how long I waited for a restaurant like this to pop up on this side of town as I have been traveling to different parts of the city just to eat Nepalese food. It's still had same setup from the Korean restaurant that was here so many years ago that gave the homely neighborhood relaxing vibe, not sure if they will make any changes down the road they did put up some nice decorations of the colorful ribbons of the region. We ordered the Momo Platter $16.00 3 pieces each. Veg, chicken, and pork The veggie was just ok and I would stick with the meat options as it more flavor. Sherpa Mixed Grill-$22.95 Combination of chicken, lamb, and salmon The salmon was my favorite as it was soft and tender and the lamb was good as well. Chicken was just ok. The Must orders that stood out: Kukhura Bhanta - Chicken & Eggplant $17.95 was a Slow-cooked chicken and eggplant in homemade sauce. Served with choice of basmati, brown, or plain rice I could just inhale this dish all by myself if I wanted but I had to be nice and share it. Excellent texture and taste of flavors and food pairing was perfect. This was just a perfect dish A+. Garlic naan and butter naan both excellent Chowmein $14.95 was the Traditional Nepali wok-fried noodles with chicken, fresh seasonal veggies and Sherpa's spices. I was very impressed with this dish as it texture was different from what I was accustomed to and flavor as well. The chowmein was unique in taste and texture very different from typical Chinese restaurants. I really liked this with unique spices, surprisingly. There's so many other items to try and the restaurant was pretty busy for a Saturday night and a line was forming later as the night progressed and there was people just ordering take out standing by the kitchen. I feel this restaurant represents its culture well and I am glad these dishes are gaining popularity. I would like to come back to try other dishes for sure!

    Nice little Nepalese cuisine house warm deco clean tables and excellent staff serving garlic naan, tikki fries and creamy chicken makhmali. Momo platter dumpling plates are fillings and tasty too.

    Naan with a dip we used on everything else too

    Well this was a lovely surprise! Heading to SFO early and decided to stop and eat along the way, so chose a place close to 19th Av that had a great Yelp rating. We had a great omen predicting the dinner - a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant on Taraval. We were not misled! First, the owner/Matre'd was VERY friendly, and a wealth of information (not just about the food either). We asked for some suggestions for our party and were not disappointed with what arrived! Everything from the appetizers to the entrees to the side dishes was dazzling. The mix of South Asian flavors from the chef (who actually WAS a Sherpa in the 90s) was delicious, flavorful, fresh, and abundant. Honestly, I can't wait to get back and try more dishes, the Tibet/India/Burma mix is just incredible.

    Paneer Momo, shrimp Chowmein

    I pass by here often and finally stopped in. Everything was delicious! I tried the carrot soup, paneer momo and shrimp chow mein. Everything was savory. The service was spectacular and welcoming. I've already chosen what I will try next time. Highly recommend! The seating area is lovely as well

    Yellow lentil soup to start our lovely meal, milk tea, what a beautiful beginning!
    Jacqueline S.

    What a beautiful place! Great food, relaxing atmosphere, large menu. You can choose your level of spiciest HOT fire to mild. Nepalese / Himalayan / Indian food: excellent curries, several kinds of sauces, milk tea, many other choices. Complimentary soup to start this great meal. Food is beautiful presented by an elegant knowledgeable server. Quiet relaxing ambiance. Well prepared dishes, large portions, slow cooked tender chicken and lamb. There is fish / shrimp curry and veggie dishes too, We will have to try some of the other main dishes / sauces and beverages, next time. We really enjoyed our meals and this pretty restaurant. Location on Taraval St. has very limited parking, it's across the street from Safeway. Try Easy parking on side streets. The LRV street car goes by in front, an easy travel option.

    ***UPDATE*** It's our 3rd time here and still, it seems like a spot unseen! Maybe their location is too far from other restaurants to be noticed? They have Himalayan decor showcasing their beautiful culture making it a cozy spot to enjoy a meal. We absolutely love all the dishes we've had here so far! Everything is flavorful, delicious, and plentiful! Well worth the amount paid. For 3 people, it was only $53 and we had leftovers! That's why it surprises me that it's always quiet when we come. And service is attentive and food comes out in a reasonable manner. They even give a sampler of lentil soup at the beginning of your meal and rice pudding at the end. I hope others will be curious enough to check out Sherpa House! So if you haven't tried them, you're missing out on GREAT food!!!

    Complimentary lentil soup
    Nina S.

    Delicious! Stopped by here this week for the first time and it won't be the last time. It was super busy on a Friday night and the service was a little bit slow, but we weren't in a rush and enjoyed sitting back and relaxing. They also started our meal off with a complimentary lentil soup. They were super accommodating and changed the momo platter for us to pork, veg, paneer - they were all so good. We also got the chili paneer and the egg fried rice (medium spice) and damn it was spicy but realllllly good once we got used to the spice.

    Amazing food and amazing service! The staff is super friendly. I came here with a party of 7 to celebrate a few birthdays, and it was such a good experience! The staff played the happy birthday song over the tv/speakers and gave traditional Tibetan(?) scarves to the birthday people. Overall, everyone was happy and we will definitely come back again.

    Vegetable momos
    Ashwini A.

    SERVICE - located on the outskirts of west portal - street parking available nearby - homely interior with warm lighting and Nepali inspired decor - very friendly service made the experience enjoyable as he provided honest recommendations and gave us free dal and kheer to taste - food served relatively quickly MENU - wide selection of nepali small bites and larger entrees - vegan/vegetarian options available - average price FOOD - vegetable momos (8/10): six pieces of vegetable filled steamed momos served with two different chutneys. Coming to a nepali restaurant I had to order momos. You could tell that these were made fresh as the vegetables were still crisp on the inside. I liked the pairing with the two different chutneys, one being slightly sweeter and more tangy and the other being spicy. If you were just ordering this I would get the larger plate of 8 but if sharing with other dishes then 6 is fine. - vegetable chow mein (9/10): wok fried noodles with vegetables and spices. This was recommended to us by our server and it did not disappoint. The spices were subtle yet flavorful. I liked how it was not super oily as a lot of wok fried noodles tend to be. It was a simple base that could go well with any vegetable or tofu dish. I only wish the veg option defaulted to come with tofu as it would have made it more substantial to have on its own. - gorkhali chili tofu (8/10): fried tofu cubes in a sweet and spicy chili sauce with bell peppers and onions. This felt like eating gobi manchurian but with tofu instead of cauliflower. It went very well with the chow mein. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The service and food were excellent.

    We are happy to find a new Nepalese restaurant in Parkside - SF. It opens in June this year. We ordered chicken mo mo, chicken and eggplant, grilled salmon, lamb curry, and chicken biryani. Basmati rice or naan came with the main dishes. Lentil soup was on the house. We enjoyed every dish. The staffs were attentive. The restaurant is small, cozy, and clean. All the Himalayan/Nepalese restaurants we have tried in Bay Area, Sherpa House is the one we recommend.

Regardless, Base Camp was awesome and a solid restaurant in the Mission. My friend and I arrived impromptu on a Monday night, surprised to see a crowded house; luckily, we snagged a table in the corner. We ordered the tandoori octopus, pork belly bhutwa, and goat curry which were all good. The tandoori octopus was fork tender and delicately spiced. The pork belly had vaguely Indian and vaguely Chinese flavor profiles, without lending itself to either side of the fulcrum. Kinda masala mixed with a bit of mala, which makes sense given Nepal's location. The goat curry was the only dish, albeit good, that didn't quite stand out for me. Service is also incredible. Every time a dish arrived, servers graciously explained how best to indulge, a welcomed gesture for this Nepalese novice. Would come again!

Genuinely. Absolutely perfect. Delicious, well seasoned and with lots of pork. I had to restrain myself from wolfing it all down in one sitting! That said, I also tried one of the curry dishes my first time, and was thoroughly unimpressed. It was bland and I wish it had more spice and texture. I will definitely enjoy the noodle dishes again in the future though! Thanks also appreciate the cute interior, and the vibe is nice if I want to take friends out for a casual evening meal.

We ordered chicken momo, chicken noodle soup and veg chilli momo. The chicken momo and veg momo were just ok. The noodle soup had instant ramen in it and undercooked. I was planning to overlook that. I went to the restroom unfortunately you have to pass through the kitchen to go there and I was stunned how dirty the kitchen was. On top of it, I noticed they had boxes of frozen samosas from grocery stores as well as frozen momos. So basically this restaurant is reheating frozen food and selling it as fresh Nepali food and hoping no one will notice. The dirty kitchen and reheating frozen food from Indian grocery are not my idea of Nepali food. Hopefully the restaurant will change its way from my feedback. I love Nepali food and Nepali people and hate to give low reviews to small businesses.

Although deep fried, the pakora were crispy without being greasy or heavy, and had a nice fresh flavor when dipped in the accompanying mint sauce. For our entrees, we got the daal makhani and the mixed vegetable curry. Both entrees were very tasty, but our favorite was the daal makhani, which had a nice smoky flavor. We also got a side of garlic naan and Peshwari naan. Although I hadn't had Peshwari naan before and was skeptical about whether it would go with the meal with its sweet flavors, the filling of coconut, almonds, and sultanas was so delicious that it was my favorite part of the meal. Also, although it was sweet, it didn't have too much sweetness to create an imbalance against the rest of the things we ordered. Highly recommend this place for great food and impeccable service!
