I had an amazing experience at The Little Sherpa today! I ordered the veg chowmein, and it was absolutely super — perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and made fresh. The texture was spot on, not oily, and easily one of the best I’ve had in Chicago.
We also tried their Chicken Keema Noodles, which the staff mentioned is one of their specialty dishes — and they weren’t kidding. You really won’t find this dish anywhere else. It was unique, packed with flavor, and had that perfect balance of spices that makes you want to order it again.
The service was warm, the ambiance cozy, and the food exceeded expectations. Definitely a neighborhood gem. I’ll be going back for sure!

The food here is incredible. My favorites are the chicken steamed mo mo (a must!), vegetable samosas, and a number of other dishes. I’ve had their food 4 or 5 times and it’s all good. I wish the atmosphere was little better, better lighting, but it’s not a deal-breaker. Service is very good too!

My friend and I went to hiking at Labagh Woods and came back to try this restaurant. It was so amazing! The server knew their menu and their food. I loved my Butter chicken with garlic Naan. Steamed Chicken Momo we shared was also extraordinary. Rice pudding was so delightful after the meal. The whole experience was very satisfying. Wanna give extra star if allowed(*´∇`*)

Little Sherpa is a hidden gem in Chicago. Everything we tried was fantastic. We tried keema noodles, chicken chowmin, chilli Momo, chicken chilli, chicken choila, chicken Thukpa. Ram brother was very nice and he provided great hospitality with complementary dishes like pappad, fries, and Kheer. He listened to all of our requests and fulfilled them promptly with kindness. 10/10 recommended!

The chicken momo was fantastic! There are not many places around that makes these well but this spot is truly a gem for it. You can tell the dumplings were handmade from the hole on top, which was where the thumb was when the wrapper was pinched together. The wrappers were steamed just to the right doneness and had a nice chew. The filling was juicy and impressively flavorful with many spices creating a layered complexity that somehow still felt seamless. The dipping sauce was pleasantly ginger-forward and made the dumplings even more delicious.

Such sweet people and lovely ambiance. Not really food related, but I went there once because my phone died and needed to use a charger to get back home and the guy was so nice and lent me one. I sat there for a while and he checked on me twice. The place is so clean and so calming! I would definitely come back and try their food next.

I visited the Little Sherpa at Cicero, Chicago, with family and friends we had a fantastic experience. my family likes the same homemade foods. The momo were incredibly flavorful and steamed perfectly. The staff was warm and attentive, always checking in to ensure we had what we needed, with Nepali music playing softly in the background. Prices were reasonable, I recommend them to all of you.

The goat curry was delicious, so tender, so flavorful. And the noodles packed a lot of flavor too. Usually I don’t like skinny noodles, but this one was worth it.
