The Little Sherpa

“I had an amazing experience at The Little Sherpa today.”

I had an amazing experience at The Little Sherpa today! I ordered the veg chowmein, and it was absolutely super — perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and made fresh. The texture was spot on, not oily, and easily one of the best I’ve had in Chicago. We also tried their Chicken Keema Noodles, which the staff mentioned is one of their specialty dishes — and they weren’t kidding. You really won’t find this dish anywhere else. It was unique, packed with flavor, and had that perfect balance of spices that makes you want to order it again. The service was warm, the ambiance cozy, and the food exceeded expectations. Definitely a neighborhood gem. I’ll be going back for sure!

“My friend and I went to hiking at Labagh Woods and came back to try this restaurant.”

My friend and I went to hiking at Labagh Woods and came back to try this restaurant. It was so amazing! The server knew their menu and their food. I loved my Butter chicken with garlic Naan. Steamed Chicken Momo we shared was also extraordinary. Rice pudding was so delightful after the meal. The whole experience was very satisfying. Wanna give extra star if allowed(*´∇｀*)

“The chicken momo was fantastic.”

The chicken momo was fantastic! There are not many places around that makes these well but this spot is truly a gem for it. You can tell the dumplings were handmade from the hole on top, which was where the thumb was when the wrapper was pinched together. The wrappers were steamed just to the right doneness and had a nice chew. The filling was juicy and impressively flavorful with many spices creating a layered complexity that somehow still felt seamless. The dipping sauce was pleasantly ginger-forward and made the dumplings even more delicious.

“The goat curry was delicious, so tender, so flavorful.”

The goat curry was delicious, so tender, so flavorful. And the noodles packed a lot of flavor too. Usually I don’t like skinny noodles, but this one was worth it.

“I went here two days in a row.”

I went here two days in a row! The food was great! I loved the Lamb Vindaloo, Keema (lamb) Samosa, and the Aloo Chop (potato patties). I really like the green chutney and the mango 🥭 Lassi! That Mango Lassi was sooooo good! The second time I went, I got the same thing because my mom wanted to try it, but for my order I thought I’d try something different. I usually like coconut so I thought I’d try the Lamb Madras, but it wasn’t for me. Will definitely be back!!!

Delicious food!! Everything was good but highly recommend the butter chicken. We ate dinner here, which was a really nice setting for a casual Sunday night dinner. Definitely check it out

“The food here is so good.”

The food here is so good. The service is wonderful too. We were so sad when the previous Nepalese/Indian restaurant in this space closed, because we loved ordering out from them. The Little Sherpa is just as good, but with an upgraded dine in space. We dined in for the first time this evening and will definitely be back. I highly recommend. Definitely a new neighborhood gem.

“I had a wonderful dining experience at The Little Sherpa.”

I had a wonderful dining experience at The Little Sherpa! The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with just the right mix of modern and traditional decor, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, always ensuring I had everything I needed. I tried the Little Sherpa Platter, and it was simply fantastic! The momo were perfectly steamed, with a flavorful filling. The crunchy noodles added a delightful texture, and the chicken choila was seasoned to perfection, offering just the right balance of spices. Every bite was a treat! Highly recommend The Little Sherpa for anyone looking for great food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!

“Such sweet people and lovely ambiance.”

Such sweet people and lovely ambiance. Not really food related, but I went there once because my phone died and needed to use a charger to get back home and the guy was so nice and lent me one. I sat there for a while and he checked on me twice. The place is so clean and so calming! I would definitely come back and try their food next. 😊😊

“Update: We've now eaten at this restaurant over a dozen times in the last year and the food gets better and better.”

Update: We've now eaten at this restaurant over a dozen times in the last year and the food gets better and better. They recently updated the menu to clearly indicate vegan and non-vegan dishes, and added a few new items. I particularly love the aloo chop, a delicious crispy potato patty, but we've enjoyed everything we've had here and the prices remain extremely reasonable. I urge everyone to patronize this local gem. Original review: We had an excellent dinner at this new Himalayan/Indian restaurant in Sauganash (across the street from the Whole Foods at Cicero and Peterson). The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated and has a pleasant atmosphere. The food is outstanding - fresh, very tasty and filling. The owner is cordial and accommodating. We will definitely be back soon, and we hope this remains a mainstay in the area. Note: it is BYOB.
