Founded in 2009, restaurant has expanded into a “cultural center”
It never fails. Whenever I walk into the Sherpa House Nepalese restaurant in Golden, my olfactory receptors whisk me back to the Himalayas and a three-month expedition to Mount Everest nearly 40 years ago.
The powerful aroma of curry, ginger, garlic, cumin, cilantro and other spices reminds me of great memories of exploring Buddhist and Hindu shrines in exotic Katmandu, of staying in tea houses on the trek to the mountain, and of dinners at Everest base camp prepared by Sherpa cooks at the foot of the world’s tallest mountain.
