About
Himalayan Sherpa Kitchen — one of Lincoln Square's strongest indian spots. Nothing about this place is trying to impress you, and that's the point. The flavors don't apologize for being bold, and solid veggie options. Christina Huynh: "The lamb madras was loaded with tender meat in a bold, spicy, deeply flavorful gravy"

Went here after seeing good google reviews but was very disappointed.
I ordered lentil soup on my way out of another office building because I was hungry, the soup they served was literally like water - barely had any lentils.

“I ordered the saag chana, and ate it with some garlic/paneer naan and rice.”
I ordered the saag chana, and ate it with some garlic/paneer naan and rice. I was extremely excited to order Indian food and I was not at all disappointed! The saag chana was the perfect amount of creaminess with an amazing flavor. The naan and rice complimented it extremely well. Continuously throughout our dinner I told my family members that this was the best meal I've ever had. I am seriously considering ordering the same thing for my birthday dinner. Thank you so much for such a wonderful and tasty experience, Himalayan Sherpa Kitchen :)

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the neighborhood.”
This is one of my favorite restaurants in the neighborhood! We ordered the thakali bhojan with lamb, johl momo, and garlic nan which was perfect for two. Everything is always balanced, well spiced, and never greasy. Thank you!

“Honestly, DELICIOUS.”
Honestly, DELICIOUS! We’ve been searching for a good paneer makani AND vegetarian Indian dishes since we moved from NYC. We just found our new, local favorite. The paneer makani and navaratna korma was so, so yum!

This restaurant absolutely delivers through its name, bringing the taste of the Himalayas to Chicago! Every single dish was so fresh and incredibly seasoned with awesome flavor. You must try their Thakali Set and MOMO - you will love it!

I'll be the first to admit when I walked in and the place was rather empty. I got a bit nervous, but this food was amazing. I have no idea what I really even ate as a lot of the listed items where foods that I later had to look up. The restaurant was clean and the staff there was extremely friendly. The food was also prepared pretty fast.

This incredible Himalayan restaurant offers comforting cuisine in a cozy, old-school setting — the veggie dumplings were well-flavored and paired perfectly with the house hot sauce, the Sekuwa goat was deliciously seasoned and crispy on the sizzling plate, and the Aaloo Tama Bodi Curry was hearty and satisfying. Overall a very satisfying meal and we will definitely be returning for more.

“"I've dined at this restaurant twice now, and both times the food was nothing short of spectacular.”
"I've dined at this restaurant twice now, and both times the food was nothing short of spectacular. From the appetizers to the desserts, each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The chefs clearly use high-quality ingredients and possess a real knack for combining flavors in a way that delights the palate. The atmosphere of the restaurant is just as impressive as the food, offering a comfortable and inviting setting for a memorable dining experience. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant visit each time. This place is a true gem, and I can't wait to return for a third visit!"

Okay I’ve had better Nepalese food in NYC’s Jackson Heights, but the food was good here too and definitely worth a try since to my knowledge, this is the only restaurant in Chicago entirely Nepalese based (not Indian fusion). Atmosphere was chill and service was very friendly.
