Enjoy a unique and secluded meal for 6-8 people at Sherpa House Restaurant's beautiful Tea Room in Golden, CO!
The Tea Room is hand-painted and carved in the traditional Nepalese style, giving you a dining experience like no other. *Drinks and gratuity not included.
The interior decor is an authentic representation of a typical Sherpa house in the Solu-Khumbu region of Nepal. Artifacts have been placed in traditional locations in the household, consisting of a family living room with kitchen, a shrine room and a gallery room. Sherpas in the Himalaya have been living in these types of households for centuries.
Sherpas are probably the most recognizable ethnic population within Nepal. Literally living at the top of the world, Sherpas are born mountaineers. Their legendary mountaineering prowess and their hardiness initially brought them into prominence in mountaineering circles. Sherpa climber Tenzing Norgay accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary on his pioneering climb of Mt. Everest in 1953.
About Sherpa House Restaurant and Cultural Center
Though the interior of the Sherpa House Restaurant is fragrant with the smells of naan bread and spiced curries, this tantalizing cuisine is only part of the eatery's allure. The space itself functions something like a museum, except that visitors can actually take a seat and speak above a whisper. Built as a reproduction of a traditional Sherpa house in Nepal, the restaurant seats diners in a family room with a kitchen, in a buffet room beneath a thatched roof, or on a patio perched beneath waving flags. A shrine room, photo gallery, and museum room with traditional artifacts afford more in-depth peeks at the rich culture and history of the Sherpa people, who are widely known for their mountaineering skills.
