★★★★★ 5.0 Charlie Stout · Nov 2025

Amazing amazing amazing! We ordered three dishes, the Pork Sekuwah, the Himalyan Masala (chicken), and a butanese dish Datsi (chicken). We also ordered Momo dumplings. We shared and got to taste everything. Each dish was unique, absolutely fresh, and delicious. The Masala is similar to an indian Masala but more tomato forward. The Datsi was nutty and buttery. I hate to say I had a favorite because it was all soooo good, but we all raved over the Sekuwah. The pork was seasoned and cooked to perfection and came with a special sauce for dipping. On top of the delicious food, the ambiance was spot on. It felt like walking out of a snowy mountain village into a warm Nepalese mountain cabin. What sounded like Indian (similar cultures) music playing softly. Prayer flags hung across th

At Norbu, every color, flavor, and story comes together to create a taste of the Himalayas. This was my second visit to Norbu Lancaster, and the familiar smell of spices instantly brought me back. I was impressed by the Nepali and Bhutanese dishes again – especially the Nepali thali, a comforting mix of rice, lentils, vegetables, and seasoning. The restaurant was built on the combination of its owners’ diverse backgrounds: she grew up in Lancaster, while he brought his family recipes from Bhutan. This fusion is likely the reason for Norbu’s uniqueness and attractiveness. The restaurant is both rooted in Lancaster yet filled with Himalayan warmth. It reminded that learning about food is also learning about how people build home wherever they are.

If your looking for anything other than what you've been getting, you have to come here. Our server took the time to explain what we were about to encounter. Gave comparisons and recommendations to help our 1st time experience be memorable. Good thing we had guidance! The heat profile was inline with my eyes tearing and a medium sweat. You'll see. Even with that, the food was good and clean and consistant. Great experience overall. We opted to sit in the low to the floor seating. Cool videos on Instagram, @Manny_Vision

We enjoyed the tail end of a lovely buffet ! 1:30pm on a Sunday . Our server offer us to check the buffet / or the menu . As this was an unplanned stop we picked the buffet . Ginger tea offering was excellent! All the food was fabulous including the crunchy kale veggie dish! Rice pudding was amazing🥰🥰 a lovely secret nook.

Lancaster is lucky to have this noble place! They have an iconic display of design and decor. The food is always done so well. I was here twice-once at lunch they had a buffet style and the other time in the evening we ordered. Either way, both times everything was quite palatable and consistent in quality.
