    5 of the 9 Chicken Steamed Mo-Mos
    Mr. Creosote X.

    The Little Sherpa isn't too fancy, but the service and the cooking are outstanding. The extensive menu includes both northern Indian and Nepalese dishes - we focused on the Nepalese ones and were glad we did. Nepal is a diverse country, about the same latitude and size as Florida. The cuisine is related to Indian, but with a Chinese flair, courtesy of its neighbor to the north with which it shares a 550 mile-long border. We started with Vegetable Samosas (plenty of flavor, mostly mashed potato inside, similar to Indian ones we've had before) but then were very impressed by the steamed Chicken Mo-Mos (9 dumplings with interesting Nepalese spices). The Nepalese chicken Keema Noodles were a spaghetti-like pasta with flavorful ground and sauteed chicken - with a hit of the special spicy soy (you might have to ask for it) it was really outstanding. But we saved some to take home to leave room for the star of the night: The Sherpa Thali Chicken - basically a full Nepalese meal on a platter. Several brass bowls held, in turn, a sort of butter chicken, a cauliflower dish, a yellow dhal, and a soaked cake desert, along with gorgeous loooong-grain rice (served with ghee) lovely mustard greens, and two kinds of pickle chutney. We we also served, on the house, a Rice Pudding desert which was fresh and not too sweet. We loved everything and hope to try more of the huge menu.

    Some of the best Nepali/Indian food we've had! As a group…read moreof 5, we split the Family Meal Deal and added an extra bread basket. The onion naan was a surprise hit, we were delighted to learn we love it since we usually order garlic! We also ordered some Steamed Chicken Momos which were cooked perfectly and super juicy inside! We all had different favorites and none of the items went unnoticed. Even the sauces for the Cocktail Samosas and for the momos were flavorful! The staff were attentive, quick, and helpful. We were seated immediately, ordered within minutes, and were able to split our bill equally 5 ways with ease! Would recommend again for fast, casual dinner with no reservation needed.

    We had dinner at Himalayan Restaurant and we enjoyed it a lot. It offered Indian Food and Nepalese…read morefood like momo, and they were very delicious. Disclaimer, I'm an East Asian and I didn't grow up eating Indian or Nepali food so take my comments with a grain of salt. Lamb curry My friend and I enjoyed it. I bit into some star anise in the dish, and I wished they gave the star anise more time to incorporate into the curry (sauteing longer and toasting it before), as the star anise flavor wasn't really there. I had to bite into the star anise with the sauce to learn about the flavor profile. Eggplant curry I wasn't a big fan of the dish, as it felt a little astringent and bitter at times. I wasn't sure what it was going for, and I wished it utilized more of that umami flavor from the eggplant to elevate the curry. The curry felt a little overpowering. Fish curry As a seafood lover, this was one of the most special curries I have had. The fish was delicate and soft, which was paired well with the sauce. I would get this again. Chicken Biryani We increased the spice for this dish. The portions were huge and we liked it as a base to the other curries and something to eat with the naan. It was not bad. Mutton Momo (Soup) As a mutton/lamb lover, the momos were flavorful and hearty. They were paired with a spicy tomato soup, which felt different but familiar. We loved it. Mutton Momo (Chillied) The momo was sauted and fried at the bottom. It was paired with some bell peppers. This is the kind of dish where you wouldn't be able to stop eating. Loved it. Garlic Naan Hot, thin, crispy. Even though we wished the garlic was more pungent, the texture was great. Gulab Jamun (Fried Ball Dessert) It was our favorite. The syrup was gingery and had a subtle hint of saffron, and it blended well with the fried balls. This hit home. Overall, the food was decent. We will definitely be back for the momo and to try the different curries and biryani.

    I love their weekend buffet, but I can't give them five stars. Sometimes, their tandoori chicken is…read moreway too dry, as if it was leftovers from the day before and reheated. But, when it's good and freshly made, it is terrific. One thing I recently noticed is that some of their dishes look Chinese/Panda Express inspired, which I do not like at all. I wish they'd keep their dishes more Nepalese/ Indian. I'd much rather see my favorite dishes more consistently like the mushrooms and green/red peppers, okra, creamed spinach, green peas in orange sauce, and roasted potatoes. (The mushrooms are my favorite!)

    This has always been one of my favorite restaurants for Indian food, and I've told so many people…read moreabout it. I went back today and was honestly so upset because my go-to dish, the paneer makhini, was nothing like it used to be. It literally just tasted like straight cream. I even asked them to remake it because I thought something was wrong, but it came out the same way. I ended up just eating the other food we ordered, but it was such a disappointment because this has always been the dish I look forward to. I even showed them old photos from past visits compared to today and it was clearly different. The chef tried it and said it was the same, which shocked me because it really wasn't. I get that places can have off days, but this was really discouraging. As much as I've loved this restaurant, I don't know if I'll be back if the quality has dropped this much.
