Meget bra - anbefales
Hadde reservert bord, men ankom litt før tiden. Ingen problemer, fikk bord og startet måltidet før planlagt tid. Veldig god service og veldig god mat. Mye for pengene. Anbefales på det sterkeste. Kommer tilbake.

Great flavorful Indian food
Delcious Indian food! We are very picky about Indian food, it can be really bad and spices can be very bland. Sherpa had outstanding papadoms as appetizers, great samosas, and the dishes were very flavorful, from the tikka masala or the Nepalese momos! We will return!

incredible service
Really wonderful experience dining outside on the street at Sherpa! The service was really exceptional and the servers were so helpful and friendly. The fried cottage cheese was especially divine. My server helped me choose dishes and a wine that was exactly what I was looking for.

Outstanding and savory
Delicious!!! Come hungry because you will want to scoop up every last bite. We had lamb with spices, lentils, and fluffy naan. I was heartbroken to have come only half hungry and forced to leave some precious bites behind. Even the rice was fragrant and lovely. My husband wanted to eat Dutch food, otherwise I would have returned to Sherpa a second night!

Delicious Food at a very fair price.
My wife and I met my son and daughter-in-law in Amsterdam to celebrate my birthday. They took me to the Sherpa. I had never had Tibetan and Nepalese food before. We tried several dishes and samplers, and they were all delicious. It is a small restaurant, so it wont be too noisy, and the service was wonderful. You will be in for a treat when you go there.
