This was my first time having Nepalese food. The food definitely hits your taste buds, it's very rich and has so many great tasting herbs and spices. Great find in Newtown

After watching Jennifer Peedom’s amazing feature documentary Sherpa (2014) at the Sydney Film Festival, I approached Sherpa Kitchen in Newtown with more understanding. Rather than an occupational reference to people who carry things, Sherpa are an ethnic group living in the Himalayas, the mountainous region that spans Nepal, Tibet, India and Bhutan. This Newtown restaurant, located on busy King Street, showcases the Sherpa people's environment with a restaurant-length mural of snow-capped peaks. On the opposing orange wall you’ll find photographic scenes from Nepal, including colourful traditional clothing, and religious symbols running from prayer wheels to Buddha and the Hindu deity, Ganesh. Gold tablecloths and bright red chairs complete the restaurant’s bright and cheery look. Perhaps it’s these religious influences that mean you won’t find beef or lamb on the Sherpa Kitchen menu; though you won’t notice their absence with great goat to play with. Try it in the Sherpa Kitchen signature - Special Khasi Ko Taas ($15.99). This dish takes...
The food is simply divine. We were a bit hesitant due to the review. However we had a great experience. There’s the one waitress but she was simply efficient and friendly. Our overseas Singaporean guests were impressed with the food.
Sherpa Kitchen is a Nepalese restaurant located on King St in Newtown. It's been in Newtown for some time but the current owner has been there for about 18 months. Matt and I head here for a nice lunch. . There's gorgeous art work on the side of all things Nepalese that catch my eye. As it's a warm Saturday, I'm happy that there are a series of lunch specials. The lunch specials come with a choice of soft drink as well. I'm no expert in Nepalese cuisine but Matt is eager to try authentic Nepalese food.
4 of us went to this restaurant on a voucher so got to try a lot of dishes and I would say all were of a high standard. The momos are good as was the chicken sekuwa. Am not usually one for too much vegetarian but the pakoda was nice and not oily at all, and to finish the entrees we had an ordinary sounding dish called potato chop which was delicious. Loved the dosai. For main we had palak paneer (not my fave but nice enough), veggie korma - tasty, butter chicken - also tasty and the stand out being the goat. Nicest goat curry I've had with good tender meat and taste. Service was great but there were not a lot of customers and our girl was helpful with suggestions. Would like to go back and try other dishes also. This is a good place for people that don't like too spicy a meal and the ones that want some flavour.
Loved this Nepalese/Indian restaurant. Tried their masala dosa and it reminded me of home! I don't think I can give a better compliment to an Indian restaurant :) Value for money
Always fabulous food for a relative cheap night out. We've dined here numerous times and it never disappoints. My only (small) let down was asking for extra hot chilli in all our food, and the dishes came out mildly spicy. More heat people!
Having said that, the flavours we're fab, the garlic naan a standout, and chilli meatballs a go-to dish.
Thank you!
Best fish curry in town... also we Skippies love our butter chicken & this one is goood!!! Naans are also v good & try the momo dumplings for an entree.... byo for a great casual yummy meal ;)
Delicious and fine nepalese food. I have been here about 10 times and I have never been disappointed. Food is simply delicious! Very fine and perfectly spiced, full of flavours! Rotis are excellent! I recommend the lamb saag and chicken curry. Very nice customer service as well. The best nepalese restaurant in Sydney so far! A great address for a romantic dinner or a dinner with friends.
Sherpa Kitchen turns out to be pleasant enough but nothing to write home to the old country about. I am beginning to think that with a few notable exceptions, this is the best you can hope for from a King Street eatery. Still, we live in hope of finding another rare gem like Thai La-Ong.
A wonderful little eatery near The University of Sydney. Their Chicken Biryani is among the absolute best in the city!! A particularly affordable place for lunch!!
Excellent , entree size is big
Authentic Nepalese restaurant, worth a try
Good little place, open late which is super convenient. Butter chicken is amazing, however super expensive. Almost $20 for a half full standard-sized takeaway container. The portions are too small for the price. Best to go for a treat rather than for a meal.
The butter chicken is out of this world but the kitchen works so slowly that you wait ages for the food. My husband tried the medium lamb curry and it was more like a stew. We do return for the butter chicken (a family favourite) and my husband has had other dishes successfully, but we try to go when we're not hungry yet!
