Bajeko Sekuwa Nepalese and Himalayan Grill originated in Nepal decades ago and has expanded across South Asia. Now it's opened its third American outpost (after Dallas and New York City) in Aurora, selling chile momo (dumplings) and sekuwa (Nepalese-style spiced and grilled meats) along with a broad range of goat dishes to folks hungry for a taste of the region.

Dot's has been around for fifty years and is still going strong (as are the gum-smacking, wise-cracking waitresses). Young and old alike flock to the place on weekends in search of the renowned huevos rancheros; Dot's is, after all, "where the folks get their yolks," according to its website. It also boasts -- inexplicably yet delightfully -- a small menu of Nepalese curries, so if you're not in the mood for hash browns, you can satisfy your potato craving with aloo palak.

Momo House started serving its Nepalese dumplings as a farmers' market vendor. Now it has a brick-and-mortar in Westminster, with plans to expand the menu and add dishes such as biryani and more momo options, such as lamb, cheese, soybean and "fusion" varieties in addition to the existing chicken and vegan versions. You'll also find a couple of surprises on the menu, in the form of chicken and vegan breakfast burritos.

Nepal Cuisine

4720 Table Mesa, #C100 Boulder

303-554-5828

Nepalese, Menu

Nepal Cuisine, which is located in a weird, split-level strip-mall space, attracts Boulder's Nepalese community, daring college students, gastronauts and fans of the particular spice architecture and funny spellings that separate Nepalese cuisine from that of its closest neighbors: Indian, Chinese and Mongolian. It offers both an all-vegan buffet (lunch on Mondays only) and a non-vegan Nepalese/Indian buffet the rest of the week for diners who crowd the warren of small dining rooms in order to eat from towering plates of samosa, vegetable pakoda, saag paneer and tandoori chicken legs. But if you're in the mood for some serious Nepalese grub, don't miss the regular a la carte menu, which features a full page of native specialties, including tasty momo.

Sherpa's Adventure Restaurant & Bar

825 Walnut St. Boulder

303-440-7151

Nepalese, Indian, Recommended, Best Of, Menu

Pemba Sherpa — a native of Nepal who made his living as a mountain guide before settling in Colorado — built this restaurant around his idea for a "traveler's lounge," a place for climbers and adventurers to gather and plan, to reminisce, to tell true stories and to make up a few others. But the best adventure here is the food, heavy with Nepalese and Tibetan takes on recognizably Indian fare. The momo are wonderful, the service graceful and kind, and the kitchen whips up a great cinnamon-spiked lassi.

Many Americans are stuck in a rut when it comes to Indian food, and if chicken tikka masala and saag paneer are as adventurous as you want to get, Tikka & Grill's takes are exemplary, full of fragrant spices and depth.

The street-food section of the menu offers the chance to experience the textures and bright, fresh flavor of dishes like bhel puri.

Yak and Yeti has been serving up authentic Indian fare — and a few traditional Nepalese dishes — since 2002. The Arvada Yak & Yeti location is our favorite, since it's located in an old -- allegedly haunted -- farmhouse. Regardless of what you believe about the elusive beyond, there's no denying that this restaurant is saturated with the history of the family that once owned it. In these spooky digs, Yak and Yeti serves up a spirited culinary mix during buffet lunch or served dinner.
