After attending the Sydney Film Festival and watching Jennifer Peedom's stunning documentary Sherpa (2014), I paid a visit to Sherpa Kitchen in Newtown with a newfound appreciation. Rather than just a name for those who carry goods, Sherpa refers to an ethnic group residing in the Himalayas, a region that spans Nepal, Tibet, India, and Bhutan. This restaurant, situated on bustling King Street, showcases the Sherpa culture with a mural depicting snow-covered peaks along one wall and images from Nepal on the opposing orange wall. The decor includes vibrant traditional clothing, religious symbols such as prayer wheels, Buddha, and Ganesh, as well as gold tablecloths and bright red chairs, creat...
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...
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.
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! <br/ <br/ Having said that, the flavours we're fab, the garlic naan a standout, and chilli meatballs a go-to dish. <br/ <br/ Thank you!

The food at this restaurant is absolutely amazing. Despite some initial hesitation from reading reviews, we ended up having a fantastic experience. The service was top-notch with just one waitress who was efficient and friendly. Our guests from Singapore were very impressed with the quality of the food.
I tried Nepalese cuisine for the first time at this restaurant and was blown away. The flavors were bold and the dishes were packed with delicious herbs and spices. This hidden gem in Newtown is a must-try!
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
I loved this place.
On a busy Friday a friend and I drank some ciders in the Newtown Hotel then decided we fancied something Asian-y to eat.
