Himalayan Sherpa Kitchen

When you’re looking for something different from all the American and European food that dominate the valley, try the Himalayan Sherpa Kitchen. This casual spot also does a serious takeout business, for those nights where you can’t pry yourself off the couch. Start with the vegetable momo, with just the right amount of spinach and spice, followed by the lukshya saag in a rich curry sauce, and the machha ra bhanta with fresh salmon. One perk of dining in: you’ll probably make friends with the owner and hear all about his annual trips to Mt. Everest.
