I'm not an expert on food from India, but I am a lover of good food no matter its origin. The plates we ordered, lamb, chicken, shrimp and mushroom where all about the sauce. The Naan was great for dipping into the sauce and the rice was wonderful smothered in the sauce., but beyond that not much else. I would... More

I have been coming here since July 2011 and love this place!!! Everything is sssooo fresh and hot! The lunch buffet stays about the same day to day but it is great regardless. They are willing to explain anything you don't understand about the menu and refill your glasses all the time. I love this place!!! The only drawback is... More

what a great gem of a restaurant. don't bother with burgers and pizzas in estes park. Go here! We went three times during our 3 day stay here. The owner is the nicest host. the chai tea is bottomless. The food is terrific. lunch buffet for $9.95. Big portions.

YUM! YUM! YUM! I so love that it is family run. It is one of two of my favorite Nepali eateries in the United States.

We go to Nepal's every time we visit Estes Park. The place is small, only maybe half a dozen tables, but there is a buffett during the lunch hours. The food is excellent, everything we've ever had there has been excellent. It owned and run by small family with pictures of their trips to Everest.

This is a great little family owned restaurant on the back of of the main street. Many folks visiting Colorado on summer vacation don't stray far from burgers and pizza when they are on the road, but they should know that the mountain towns along the Front Range have benefited from the (similar to Indian) cuisine brought by Nepalese immigrants...

Nepal's may look like a hole in the wall but the food is excellent. Inside seating can accomodate about 20 people. We prefer eating outside in the sunshine. We always go for the noon buffet, all you can eat. The food is Nepalise, of course but a wide variety offers everyone a chance to eat a lot! Vegans will find... More

We've been in Estes Park hiking for nearly a week. Each night we pick a different restaurant. Nepal's is one of the best. As we walked in the door we were greeted with a smile; our hostess, waitress clearly enjoys working here. She loved that we were trying to province our selections correctly. I had Lamb Biryani, another had the... More
