Excellent food! Had a party of 3 and we all loved our food. Took a while to get but was worth the wait! They were very accommodating to my friend who is lactose intolerant.
Don’t miss this hidden gem. The best weekday lunch in town & outdoor seating. Lovely dishes for dinner too, delicious rack of lamb.

Himalayan Sherpa Kitchen is our favorite restaurant in Saint Helena! The food is always delicious and perfectly cooked (and the chef is happy to accommodate any sort of request), there is always a wide range of wines available, and the service is warm and hospitable! Absolutely recommended!

Kind staff, great service, and excellent food!
2025 UPDATE The food is still excellent. This is my favorite Himalayan restaurant ever. Their rack of lamb is LEGENDARY!! It's juicy and cooked to perfection. The onions and spinach it comes with are a great touch. My second favorite dish is their chicken or lamb Tikka masala (medium) with garlic naan and white rice. It's creamy and delicious. I put the Tikka masala and the rice into the naan and make it into a sandwich.
If I'm ever in the area, Sherpa Kitchen is #1. I'll never miss a chance to come by!
I grew up in St. Helena, my whole family would go out to eat here all the time. I have since moved to Wisconsin but I miss this place the most. Their food is perfection, and they have kept it that way for years. The server is the kindest woman you will ever meet, and their atmosphere is the best. I recommend this place to anyone visiting Napa, they don’t have restaurants like this in the midwest.

One of my favorite restaurants in Napa Valley!!! Consistent food every time I come and the staff are efficient and pleasant. Dishes are good servings and very favorable and balanced.

A wonderful experience from start to finish. I ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala Thali, and it was everything I hoped for—gently spiced with a touch of sweetness, made with incredibly fresh ingredients, and clearly cooked with care. The Naan was also outstanding- soft, warm and perfectly made. It reminded me of the comforting, soulful food we’d serve at home.
My daughter had the Veg Momos - good in flavour but the real standout was the exceptional chutney that accompanied it.
The staff were kind, professional, and attentive. The overall environment felt welcoming and genuine. A wholesome, soulful experience I’d recommend to anyone looking for real food and real warmth.

Himalayan Sherpa Kitchen, 1148 Main Street, Saint Helena, CA 🗓️ May 29, 2025 – 2:18 PM | Bill: $53.08 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had the pleasure of joining my friend Unnati and her daughter Heli for lunch at this hidden gem. I ordered the Coconut Tofu Mushroom Thali—light, fresh, mildly sweet, and incredibly easy on the stomach. It tasted like something made at home, not in a commercial kitchen.
The hospitality was sincere and thoughtful—the owners truly connect with each guest. We also tried the Veg Momos—while the momo itself was okay, the dipping sauce was absolutely amazing.
Only downside was the restroom—it could use a refresh—but otherwise a memorable, nourishing, and beautifully authentic experience. Will definitely return!
Himalayan Sherpa Kitchen, a small and cozy Nepalese place, is an excellent option for lunch or dinner. Seeing an Indian restaurant in the description initially scared me as I thought it could be too spicy, but the food was excellent and perfectly seasoned. Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Momo were great. The service was very welcoming. I definitely recommend this place.

We recently dined at Himalaya Sherpa in Napa and had a good experience. The food is outstanding—hands down the best garlic basil naan I’ve ever had in the U.S. It was perfectly baked and packed with flavor. The chicken tikka masala was rich, buttery, and delicious. We also tried the kukhura ra bhanta, which was a bit on the salty side, but still flavorful. The momos were fresh, juicy, and a good example of authentic Nepalese cuisine. You can really tell this is a true Nepalese restaurant, not just another Indian place with similar dishes. The service was also warm and welcoming—the servers were attentive. Worth a visit if you’re in Napa!

We’ve been coming here for two years and loved Sherpa until the last six months. The food has become bland/inconsistent in flavor levels (especially the tandoori) and the older male server has a very rude and brusque attitude. We’re sad because this was our favorite restaurant in St. Helena - it used to be so lovely.
