3. Himalayan Bistro

You absolutely cannot go wrong with Chicken Tikka Masala. Enough said!

Posted by Himalayan Bistro, Fort Collins,CO on Wednesday, 21 June 2017

If you aren’t a fan of the rich and heavy Indo-Mughlai food, India has a lot more to offer that you are sure to enjoy. Himalayan Bistro is one example of a unique Indian restaurant that does not offer the typical chicken tikkas and naan dinner you’ve come to expect. Here, you can enjoy the light and tasty Nepalese, Tibetan and Himalayan flavours brought from the very north of the country. The owners of this restaurant are a Nepalese couple, so you are sure to get a truly authentic fare. If you are interested in Himalayan cuisine, enjoy the special Tibetan dumplings, Thenduk stew, Himalayan curry, or the coconut curry. However, if you wish to stick to the standard Indian fare available such as shahi paneer or chicken tikka kebab, these are prepared carefully using Himalayan spices and flavours and are equally delicious.

Himalayan Bistro

Address: 2720 Council Tree Ave #184, Fort Collins, CO 80525, United States

Nepali cuisine has started taking the world by storm. A very unique cuisine that combines the best of the East, it is extremely light and perfect for Westerners who might not be used to the more rich and spicy Indian curries. It derives influences from both India as well as its South-Eastern neighbours, creating a beautiful combination of flavours using ingredients grown in the towering Himalayas. Sherpa Grill offers authentic Nepalese and Tibetan cuisine, as well as the typical Indian fare from Punjab and its vicinity. Try the kormas and curries here, but save room in your tummy for the amazing desserts - the carrot pudding and gulab jamun are the most popular ones. The ambience is quite humble, but the service and food is absolutely top-notch, so don’t miss it!
