Nepal's Cafe
About This Spot
Stepping into Nepal's Cafe in Estes Park offers a gentle pause from the mountain town’s energetic rhythm—a warm, inviting nook where familiar faces and the hum of quiet conversation greet you. This family-run Nepalese restaurant feels like a home away from home, where each moment is savored at a comfortable, unhurried pace. The space, thoughtfully decorated with touches that echo the Himalayan region, sets a calm, authentic tone without overwhelming the senses.
Here, the atmosphere balances tradition with an ease that welcomes both first-timers and seasoned patrons. The friendly hosts often weave in a few stories or photos, sharing glimpses of the culture behind the kitchen doors, creating a genuine connection that makes every visit feel personal.
Food at Nepal’s Cafe unfolds as a memorable journey rather than just a meal. The aromas and flavors are layered and delicate—each dish crafted with care, inviting diners to experience a rich culinary heritage through familiar comfort. Whether it’s the tender momo, steaming with juicy filling and paired with gently spiced chutneys, or the creamy, fragrant curries that reflect home-style cooking with a thoughtful balance of spices, everything invites leisurely enjoyment and sharing. Soft, fresh naan provides a perfect companion for scooping, while cool, refreshing mango lassi offers a subtle counterpoint to the spices that linger pleasantly on the palate.
This is not a place for rushing but for settling in after a day exploring the nearby trails, or simply to reconnect over food that carries stories and traditions. Nepal’s Cafe thrives quietly in the space between casual local eatery and cultural haven—where the warmth of family, thoughtful flavors, and heartfelt hospitality come together to create lasting human moments.

Authentic Nepali & Indian food. I have lived right near the border of India and Nepal and ate insane mumber of momos from streets for many years - from streets to fancy restaurants, all of them! I have to admit, these are by far the closest that the momos can get outside of the Himilayan region. The atmosphere inside is also so authentic. Probably needs a touch of music but cannot fault the food here. Absolutely legendary to find authentic Nepali food in such a good spot like Estes Park! Lamb korma is a must try too. P.S. we did think something was off about the momo chutney we got served. It had a smell of being spoilt, so we didn't eat it. But we could be wrong, just didn't want to risk especially while travelling.

Delicious! It was my first time trying this kind of cuisine and I will say it was a 10/10 for me! I had the chicken Tikka masala and my husband had the chili pork. We shared Naan with our children and they split the pork noodle plate. Everything was amazing! Small Family run businesses are the best and I could see the love they put into their business from the food to the service. If I'm ever back in town I will be sure to stop by again!

Incredible place! Got chicken momo and mango lassi, which were both amazing! When I asked for the lassi, I heard a blender turn on and a minute later, I got some delicious lassi! The momo was also incredible--it came with two achars which were both very good and not too spicy, and the momo itself was very juicy, with very good flavor. The restaurant also is decorated in a very nice way, with a lot of traditional Nepali tapestries and prayer flags. The owners themselves are from Nepal, and have been running this place for 20 years, so everything here has been perfected and is just like home. TLDR: Great food, wonderful atmosphere, great service, so get over here if you're in Denver!

Ate here five years after our first time and the entire family loved it again. The owners are very nice and took time again to show us some of the photos. This is on my must do list for the next trip to Estes park.

After a long hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, we found this place and it was exactly what we needed. The vibe is very inviting and it appears to be family-run, which adds to the warm atmosphere. We were seated quickly and water was brought out right away. The portion sizes and prices were very reasonable, and the food came out in a timely manner—fresh and delicious. We ordered the chicken curry, chicken vindaloo, lamb biryani, and kothe momo. The only reason we had leftovers was because we ordered too much food, but we happily finished it later that evening. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a warm, homemade meal.

Today, after a long trail in RMNP, I was craving something hot and decided to stop here for momos. The moment I stepped inside, the place gave me a nostalgic feeling. The staff treated us great, even refilling drinks without being asked. The must-try dish is the lamb kuruma—absolutely delicious, with the lamb cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Overall, the food was incredible. No hype, just a genuinely great experience.

Incredibly delicious Nepali food. Wow! Try the momos (dumplings) and the coconut lamb curry. The servers and staff are so friendly. They offer free refills on chai. What a perk. So yummy. Support this local business.
