Restaurant Review
Jun. 1st, 2009 01:19 pmSo up in Estes Park there's this new little Nepalese place. It's called Nepal's Cafe and it's at 184 E Elkhorn Ave. -- right off the main strip. Tim and I went up into Rocky Mountain National park yesterday, and brought an appetite back down with us.
OMG this place is SO GOOD. I had the chicken korma and he had the sag paneer, and we shared samosas and naan. Strictly a standard, unexceptional selection except for the fact that it was the BEST Indian food I have ever eaten in my entire life.
For those of you who used to do the post-Darkover Indian food binge with me, yes, I really _do_ mean that. When y'all make it out here, I plan to take you out for Indian food.
Now, I'm a connoisseur of the mango lassi. I've had a lot (by which I mean A LOT) of mango lassis in my life. And this mango lassi? BEST EVER.
It's a little hole-in-the-wall place, the kind you find in any city as long as you're willing to leave the tourist areas and maybe wander down a side alley or two. Decorated with posters of the Himalayas, appropriate enough for a Nepalese place in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. Family-run, to the point of one small Nepalese child who kept running through the restaurant, and stopped to wave shyly at us.
Thirty-seven stars or so. Really, go there and eat.
