Sherpa Kitchen | Esher in Elmbridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Really fantastic food and service.

Amazing food and service. Will definitely come back!

Good food good service nice ambiance

Delicious and authentic food. Warm welcome and nice atmosphere. We will be back!

Lovely ambiance and cheerful staff with a warm welcoming smile. The food was good with a touch of Nepal love.

My father was the third customer ever when this place opened in 2002, and we’ve been coming here for over 20 years. Deeply embarrassed to say this is our first review, but truly this joint never fails to disappoint - top service, the team always go above and beyond, and they serve up spices and flavours we don’t find anywhere else.

We have dined here since they first opened and always the food and service is exemplary.

Beautiful food, wonderful service with a smile…not our first time here and certainly not our last! Phenomenal value for money in Esher, thank you Dhurba! Very friendly

Delicious food and really lovely staff would recommend this restaurant

Great Nepalese restaurant with interesting dishes and ideas

Try this place! Interesting flavours. good prawn menus

Fantastic flavours, impeccable service - all around a wonderful experience

Great service. We had the pork belly and Rara Chicken, delicious. It was our first visit and we’ll definitely return.

Authentic Nepalese cuisine served with a smile. A must-visit for flavor seekers!

Amazing dishes were served to us. We had lamb, chicken, and veg, which are all delicious. We paired these with egg fried rice and garlic and sweet chapati. But what stood out kost for me was ther nepalese tea that was creamy and made special by different spices.

Exceptional Nepali restaurant in Esher! The food is superb, portions are just right, and the overall dining experience is top-notch. Highly recommended!

Not been in a while. Service patchy and waiters not understanding English well. Disappointed only 3 star hygiene rating.

I recently visited this restaurant it has wonderful ambiance. We had exquisite momos, and Chicken Asworya expertly crafted by the talented chef called Abinash. The attentive service and charming atmosphere created a memorable evening, making this restaurant a must-visit for those seeking an authentic taste of Nepalese cuisine.

I recently had an amazing dining experience at Sherpa Kitchen, where Head Chef Abinash truly showcased his culinary expertise. The Chicken Momos were a flavorful delight, and the Prawn Chowmein was a perfect blend of textures and tastes. The Chicken Aishworya left a lasting impression with its rich and aromatic flavors. Additionally, the Naan was impeccably prepared, and the Friedrice was a unique one. The overall ambiance and service added to the enjoyable evening. I highly recommend Sherpa Kitchen for anyone looking to savor authentic and delicious Nepalese cuisine. It's a culinary journey worth experiencing.

Incredible food, amazing service, wow what a great place! We will definitely be returning here. Only downside is the restaurant echos quite a lot, so if it’s busy it’s a bit difficult to hear each other. We still had a great time though 😊

Fantastic food! fantastic staff! my favorite place to eat.

Incredible food and service. A real privilege to have a place like this on your doorstep. The food is authentic, fresh and incredibly tasty. The staff are always friendly and knowledgable. If you’ve never had Nepalese before, you need to. This place is the go to. Sherpa kitchen always needs to be a staple to the local community in Esher forever.

Simply a very pleasant meal, food and great service

The food & the service are always amazing. I would definitely recommend

Lovely staff and very fresh and tasty food. Love you Shek you were great

Swimming against the tide of reviews here. Forth time at the Sherpa and struggle to see why the good folk of Esher pack it out. The staff are friendly and prompt, table layout is classy. Food is so average. Very small portions and very little taste. Sauces watery and bland. Sizzling chicken with four pieces of chicken, left the kitchen hot and spice less. A premium prawn dish with four prawns and a tinned chicken soup of a sauce. Three vegetable dishes that were a throw backs to school dinners, small, watery and over cooked. The place is packed, hence very noisy. My first meal here was very good, so something has changed for the worse. As I said the staff are nice.

First, but not the last time we will visit. Very fresh, tasty and wide selection of food, met with great service.

Great place to be. I was amazed to find a Nepalese cuisine in the middle to nowhere. Amazing food and excellent service.

I had a lovely chicken dish, which was very tasty. The waiter was happy to provide me with extra spice so I could add some kick to my taste. Portion sizes are quite small but taste certainly made up for that and, together with some tasty garlic naan bread, turned out to be the right size after all. It was great to hear that all the staff in the restaurant originates from Nepal, they certainly provide a great dining option to Esher.

We were a group of 8 people. We all ordered different things. Vegetarian for myself. Meat for everyone else. All of us really enjoyed the food. Absolutely delicious. Also excellent service. Would definitely eat here again. Many thanks.

Lovely venue over 3 floors, friendly service and tasty food at great value prices

Very nice service and delicious food

It had been a very long time since I’d been here as my first visit hadn’t been inspiring. What a change! Fantastic staff welcoming and despite being rushed off their feet, attentive, professional and always smiling. Service was great and the food fresh and exciting and very tasty. Definitely worth a repeat visit!!

Very enjoyable meal, main dishes were very tasty. We went for the double spice and definitely had a kick. Portion sizes quite small but taste made up for that. Staff were good given how busy they were.

One of the best restaurant in esher; Delicious food - teele see, palunga saag 🙏

Love this hidden gem. Amazing food abd friendly staff.

Excellent food and service. A long running restaurant with great Nepalese dishes. It does get busy towards the weekend so worth booking a take to make sure there is space.

Delicious food - poppadoms, chutneys, curries. Nothing really available for dessert except ice cream which was an extortionate £8

Very good, and lovely staff. Agree with the earlier review, even the mint raita stuff seemed above average 🍵

Great food, fantastic staff and service

Delicious food and the staff were very polite

Wonderful food, the best in Esher and surrounding area.

Always incredible and wonderful staff. Our favourite place

It’s the best Asian food we’ve tried in esher and the service was great.

Ordered delivery, so maybe eating in would be a better experience. The menu sounded appealing but the majority of the food was disappointing in flavour and quantity. The potato had a texture like it had been reheated.

Great food and kind service. This quiet little place is a hidden gem.

Service was authentic and warm, just like food. Don't miss the Momo's! Every single dish was divine.

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal all served by very polite staff.

I really recommend to friends and family

ReAlly tasty meal, our first time having Nepalese food, so we left it to the owner to choose our meal. The staff were very welcoming and super clean environment, with lovely little touches around the restaurant. Even the papadum sauces were super fresh tasting and different to the normal had it been an Indian. The food was so flavoursome and the lamb aromatic even the sauce on the chicken was tasty and light. The prawns in the starter were so meaty and yummy and who would think to put a mint sauce with prawns 🤷‍♂️. Highly recommend.

Very friendly service and excellent food. Consistently good over the years of visiting and still very reasonable prices which keeps us coming back. Would definitely recommend!

Very tasty food full of flavour 👌and friendly staff and good service.

Really good Nepalese food and charming staff. Does take away also. Excellent.

Great food. Lovely dishes, great selection from mild to spicy. Lamb dishes exceptional

First time trying Sherpa on Saturday evening. Staff were helpful and attentive and the food was great. Nice to try something different for a change. Thought it was very well priced, which is becoming rare in the Esher / Cobham area. Fair to say, we’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

Great as always, food fantastic and fair price. Love the piro lamb.

The best food around. The Rara chicken is so good if you want an authentic tasting meal

Lovely food, reasonable prices and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Lovely meal. Quiet and respectful service.

Went twice First time, they took our order and 20 minutes later they told us that they didn’t have one of the dishes... Second time, order on the phone, been told it would be 25 minutes. It took hour and 40 minutes to be ready. It was cold Awful service, not worth it Too expensive

Great value and amazing food (maybe the best in esher), can’t recommend enough!

Always delicious food and very glad that they now deliver to our area.

Friendly service. Large portions. Fairly bland

Proper Nepalese menu. So goood.

Very pleasing customer service and on top of that a satisfactory stomach. The interior is great..very clean and modern touch.

Had dinner there last night for the first time and it certainly won't be the last. Really lovely and interesting food and a welcome change from the standard rotation of Indian curries. Good value too!

Nice place, excellent staff, very nice food

A hidden gem of a restaurant. Small, unpromising shop front opens up to a much wider space with a mezzanine level. Good Nepalese food with Nepalese waiters and friendly service. Harry Redknapp frequents when attending the racing at Sandown.

Lovely tasty food that's new to my palate, good service and some new beers too. Very busy but worth a small wait. Try their signature dish.

Lovely ambience. Walk in from what looks like a small shop front, into a light & airy, split level restaurant. It took me by surprise...lovely! Staff are all so very friendly & helpful.....& Then there's the food! Some of the loveliest flavours I've experienced. This is definitely a new favourite restaurant for us; & we've been to a few! Highly recommended (&I now wished I'd taken a photo or two)

Our fist visit here and we were delighted. Delicious BBQ lamb and chicken and the reccomended starters were also very tasty. Very friendly service.

Great food, both in and as a takeaway!

Nice food. A little expensive.

Best nepalise I've ever been to its amazing

Bar none, the best Nepalese in the county. Excellent service and super fresh Papadums. After your excellent food go home with the most delightful mint chocolate too!

Wonderful food, excellent service. Happy to recommend!!

I was recommended the Sherpa kitchen by a friend, I now see why. The staff are so caring and lovely, the food is absolutely stunning and the potions are large. Food nof containing gluten is listed on the menu so if you care avoiding gluten this is a great place to go. I will be coming again soon.

Delicious food and friendly staff.

One of our favourite restaurants for Nepalese food. Visited for fathers day dinner with the family. Great food and excellent service once again from the team!

Friendly staff, great Nepalese cuisine, nice décor, service a bit slow but good overall, would definitely return

Fabulous food, attentive service, warm ambience and decor. The Sherpa Kitchen has the friendliest reception in Esher. New Craft beer, Kuwa, is definitely worth a try! If you want to be sure of a table, early in the week is recommended as Fridays and Saturdays are often solidly booked. You won't be disappointed.

We had a terrible meal. Not a single dish from starters through mains made me think there was a competent person in the kitchen. Against all positive signs such as online reviews and the look and feel of the place, it was a real disappointment. Chicken and salmon from the clay oven was so overcooked and dry, it genuinely had the appearance and rubbery texture of something overcooked in the microwave. I gave the waiter feedback on how dry the meats were and showed him the texture in my plate but he just shrugged it off and said this is how they cook their meat. I feel cheated and I hope this is something that they will pay attention to as the restaurant and menu has real potential and we would love to have been able to add it to our list of local favourites.

Really delicious food! Great setting

Delicious, full flavoured, well presented, a cut above the norm

best tasting food proper Indian Nepalese cuisine genuine spices this restaurant is a secret I highly recommend it!

Great meal. I would go back again.

Excellent food; a bit different, good service and a nice atmosphere.

Food is always fabulous and service is attentive. I'd thoroughly recommend!

It's always a pleasure to return to this lovely restaurant. It looks so small looking from outside, but once in, there is plenty of space as this goes on 3 levels. Downstairs bar and clean, flowery smelling toilets, sitting on the 1 st and 2nd floors. Tasty food and good deals, totally recommend the 'Sunday special' ( that's what we went for this time .

Lovely Nepalese food and attentive service you’d expect.

Very nice food and service reasonably priced (by Esher pricing scale)

Our family's favourite restaurant! Food always tastes fresh and tasty. We all have our "set" orders....Rara chicken for the boys, Prawn Asworya for dad and Nepalese chilli chicken for mum.

Excellent food and nutritious with delightful service. Different and healthier than Indian fayre.

Great food , the owner is so friendly an nice . You must go in

Well it was a Saturday night, so maybe shouldn't expect the best but the lamb was overcooked and dry and the service typically Saturday night. Limited menu but great atmosphere and the service very friendly.

Always have a great meal here and the service is fab too

Fabulous food. Highly recommend!

Great food and service at a reasonable price. Beats your average "Indian" restaurant. Thoroughly recommend the Lamb Shanks!

Always fantastic food and service

Excellent food, good service, great prices. Will be back...
