what a COLORFUL lunch spread!! this spot is so cute and love all the various options the food: there's two menus, one that's american brunch style and ones that's tibetan!! i personally loved the kale salad, it comes with housemade ricotta cheese and rhubarb jam - truly divine. momos were ok and the meat on the platter was slightly too salty for me the space: huge and so adorb with many plants service: attentive! and kind

This restaurant is very vibey and there were plants everywhere which was really nice. I ordered the stir fried noodles with chicken and the jhasha katsa. Both of which were very tasty. The staff was very friendly. It can be a bit pricey but all in all it was pretty good experience and I'd definitely recommend it.Parking: It can be somewhat difficult to find parking around here so make sure you plan ahead to give yourself enough time.

Food was average, aesthetic is nice but the service was not the best as the lady serving us was rude and was giving us attitude as we asked for bowls. We were sharing a soup that we ordered for the table.

Chicken momos had excellent consistency and sauce was a pleasant blend of flavor. The samayabaje was a little over abundant with the beaten rice and additional medley of fiber rich carbs, but was good. Chana and gwaramari was itself a good balance of brunchy items.

Love the relaxed, lowkey vibe of this place. Food was excellent. Service great. Salt tea wasn't my thing but I'm glad to have tried it. Rest of the food was excellent.

I don’t come here as frequently as I’d like despite being in the neighborhood, but the thentuk in particular is very comforting on a colder day. The pace and atmosphere of this restaurant is overall pleasant and relaxed, which accompanies the food’s well-balanced flavors and careful presentation. This most recent visit, I brought my father (we had the momos, the thentuk, and the chatamari), and he was very impressed with the restaurant and his first time trying this style of cuisine.Thank you for the wonderful times I’ve had here with friends and family, I hope to drop in more.

Food is tasty. It was our first time trying Tibetan food. And we are okay with it. We had beef dumplings, some types of potatoes curry, grilled chicken on the skewers and Duck with mushrooms sauce.Everything is okay. Interesting and tasty.I was not so fond of the duck. I think it was pretty chewy to my liking.Grilled chicken on the skewers was really good. Very tender. Chicken is still juicy and it was very tasty.I will go back and try some other things.

Heard about food being tasty, went to try. Now I know why people are getting fooled. I am allergic to MSG. Got my food order of a few Tibetan food & American food for our large group. Was told by cook that they don't use it, I guess they didn't take my allergy seriously. Got sick. didn't want to file a complaint. Just warning you all.

Great service and reasonable prices! It was a first having tibetan food for me. We did family style and shared a bunch of plates so everyone could try a little bit of everything. A lot of vegetarian options on the menu as well.

Great spot for yummy Himalayan food. Cute little restaurant with seating indoors and outdoors. Cozy atmosphere, great spot for a date night or a smaller group of friends. I came with a larger party and it surprisingly worked out well. There weren't many other customers so I didn't feel as though we were bothering other diners. There's a good selection of drinks that we started off with and then the our food came out all at once (which was great since we shared them all). We ordered a ton of items from the Himalayan side of the menu: - Beef Momo, Chicken Momo, Vegetable Momo: we ordered one of each flavor of momos and they were delicious! Juicy filling, skin was a little thick but not bad, and they were on top of an tomato sauce. - Chicken sekuwa: chicken skewers paired with black lentil pancakes. I've never had pancakes like this before but they were mild in flavor so it worked well with the chicken. Chicken was overall just okay. - Laping: mung bean noodles in a chili sauce. Reminded me of a szechuan cold dish. The texture of the mung bean noodles is fun to eat. - Shabaley: beef patties inside of a fried dough that was very thin. One of my favorite things we ordered. The savory juicy meat was nicely seasoned and the crunch factor of what it was fried in was a great contrast. - Tsel-Baley: the vegetable version of the previous item. Instead of beef, it was mainly chives. It reminded me of the Chinese chives pocket which I love. - Stir Fry Noodles with Vegetables: simple stir fry, almost like their take on lo mein. Nothing special about it. - Bara with egg: it's a thick lentil pancake and certainly was thick. The egg didn't stand out much and overall didn't have any strong flavor but I still liked it. - Chili Cauliflower: fried cauliflower in a chili sauce paired with wild rice. It's fried well, not many pieces of cauliflower, chili wasn't too spicy. - Jhasha Katsa: fried chicken in a chili sauce similar to the cauliflower dish. It was paired with a steamed bun that reminded me of a Chinese mantou. The bun was soft and fluffy, perfect for dipping in the sauce. Overall, a solid meal. I got to try many things that I've never had before and each one had unique flavors of its own. Almost all the dishes had sauces paired with them which was interesting. Portions are on the smaller side for majority of the items but I'd definitely recommend ordering several things to share so you can try as many things as possible.
