Entrance hidden down a short alley 3 blocks from Baseball Hall of Fame is an absolute gem of culinary excellence of Indian Tibetan cuisine. Personable service and hot bowls of food quickly served stove to table. What a treat of hot steaming garlic naan! If you like Indian food, Norbu will not disappoint.
We made our trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and found this EXCELLENT small restaurant on Main St. We were thrilled to find they were open for lunch and had the Executive Lunch from the menu. The portions were ample –in fact we took the remainder of our lunch back to our hotel and had enough for dinner. The atmosphere is relaxing and feels familiar yet exotic. The dining area is nicely appointed, the tables beautifully set, and the wait staff were attentive and helpful. The prices are reasonable and well worth it. The meal was savory, aromatic, filling, and beautifully presented. We felt we were unexpectedly having a fine dining experience for lunch. Quite a treat when we were ready to settle for pizza or a sandwich! We highly recommend it.
Norbu is fantastic! First decor and ambience is comfortable and aligned to the culture. Second, staff are very friendly, helpful and seem to love working there (some other places the staff are just a snarky and grumpy). Best of all is the food! Pakoras are crispy, tasty, and not oily. Oh, the Mango Lassi - home made oh so good.. the cardamom seeds are a hidden touch. I had the chicken special - clay oven baked that was aromatic with all the spices I'd expect. as was my buddies Clay baked fish of the day. And did I forget to say "generous" portions. If you like Indian cuisine come for the experience and visit this in Cooperstown... and note where the entrance is .
Was really happy to stumble upon this place in Cooperstown! They're open a bit later than others if you want a late dinner or a light bite in the evening. Food was delicious and service was very friendly. Lots of vegetarian options.
Some if the best Indian food I've had on either coast! Very friendly and attentive Nepalis staff. Perfect for those rain delays during baseball games.
Surprisingly good food and service. A bit pricey, but you do get what you pay for. I had the lamb vindaloo and it was superb. I highly recommend this place.
We ate here for lunch on a Sunday. We sat in the restaurant in the back and ordered the lunch special. Everything we had was amazing. It took longer than expected to get our food, but overall a great experience. They have a kids menu too!
