    Got into Crested Butte Sunday evening and set out for dinner after a long day of travel. Turns out there's not a ton open on Sundays in CB, but Sherpa Cafe was there for us and they did a great job! You can sit indoors or outdoors; the inside is snug and cozy with not a ton of seating. The single-person bathroom was clean and tidy. We were happy to hang out outside and people watch. Service was very polite and sweet and got our orders out quickly and efficiently. We shared orders of samosas, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and chicken momo. The samosas were light and crispy, not greasy at all, and came with a lightly spicy dipping sauce that we all liked. The chicken tikka masala was super creamy, maybe a little on the sweet side compared to other versions I've had, but still delicious with the perfectly aromatic basmati rice. Weirdly enough, the garlic naan was the weak link -- it wasn't buttery / crispy enough for me. Still enjoyed it, but I've had better. Lastly, the chicken momo were tender, flavorful, and numerous. We don't have anywhere to get momo in our home town so they are always a huge treat! Thanks to Sherpa Cafe for such a pleasant first evening in CB!

    Sherpa-run family restaurant. Fresh, authentic, delicious. The chicken thukpa noodle stew was particularly good.

    Delicious Nepali/Indian food with friendly workers. Ordered the chicken curry (spicy) with samosas - beyond satisfied with flavor, spice, portion, and Jackson was really helpful and friendly! Highly recommend coming in if you're into Nepalese/Indian food!!

    Good but not great meal. Soso, non attentive service, especially when it wasn't busy. Unique offerings in CB

    Oh my gosh. So good. Fresh to order. Delicious. The naan, the lamb curry, the chicken marsala... We definately will be back. Limited seating so come for an early dinner. We came at 530pm and they were able to seat a table for six. Staff were very friendly. Prices are typical for Crested Butte, so on the higher end.

    We were in Crested Butte for 6 days and went there twice for dinner. The Nepali/Tibetan food was outstanding. The stew, the dumplings, the naan... just everything tasted so great! Staff was great! if there's a wait, it's well worth it... go early!

    A great place in CB for Nepalese/Indian food. The garlic naan is wonderful and the dishes have authentic flavor and clear quality. This is a little off of Main (Elk) street and we found it a little less crowded than those on Main. This is a favorite of several restaurants in CB and we always dine here a couple times on our visits.

    Sherpa Cafe was good but the food and service was below average. The food did not have much flavor and had no spiciness at all. Food was served warm but lacked the spice and that is mainly why I rated it what I did. Service was okay. Sherpa Cafe was out of all the Indian Beer options and the momo’s were below average. Likely being the only Indian food place in town, I’d pick another place, or drive to the city for better options.

    We had the chicken tikka masala and the chicken saag. Both were delish, I prefers the tikka. Came with one container of rice. Only serving to go food right now!

    Sherpa stew was amazing. Their chicken curry was also very good and is lighter and less acidic than normal Indian curry.
