More Than a Restaurant

Shangri-La Cafe and Grill

Shangrila cafe dining 2004

Since 2004, Shangri-La Cafe & Grill has been bringing the rich flavors of Nepal and India to Sonoma County. What started as a small family-owned restaurant across from Sonoma State University quickly became a local gathering place for students, families, professors, and travelers seeking authentic Himalayan cuisine and genuine hospitality.

Founded by Meenakshi Sharma of Kathmandu and her brother Paramesh Adhikari of Cotati, Shangri-La was built on a simple belief: great food brings people together. Every dish is prepared fresh daily, using traditional recipes and quality ingredients that reflect the warmth of Himalayan culture.

For over two decades, we've shared meals, stories, and friendships with our community, one plate at a time.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
