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!

Such a lovely place with good, hard-working folks. Got to meet Sis and Aria while I are the most delicious meat/veggie/dumpling stew with garlic naan. Grateful for the hearty meal and good company.

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!

Had the chicken tikka masala having read good reviews here and on the recommendation of our waiter. It was bland and bore no resemblance to tikka masala (which should be marinated chicken cooked in a clay oven then served in a spiced tomato-based sauce). This was a cream based homogeneous goop with chicken that had never been marinated let alone cooked in a clay oven (see photo) The service was good and friendly, especially given how busy they were. We were not charged for the tikka masala and the chicken makhani had more flavor and some peas in the sauce - but the meat had not been marinated for this dish either.
