The food was delicious! I think the space is too small for the kind of volume they do. We got there at 5pm and it was full already. The door being opened and closed often sent a cold draft into the room. The servers were also clearly overwhelmed, as there were only two of them. Our water glasses were empty for the majority of the time, but despite these little pitfalls, I really enjoyed the experience. I’d 100% come back here. Don’t miss the fried rice or the chicken momma dumplings

For someone who want to try Tibetan food, this is really nice place. I liked their Chow-mein noodles and lentil soup. We tried pan fried Momo's but I guess steamed would have been better. Also the taste was blend and the chilli oil didn't help much to our Indian taste buds. We had lentil soup, Chow-mein veg noodles, thenthuk veg noodles and pan fried veg Momo's. Taste 2.5/5 (lots of oil I felt, and flat noodles seemed bit uncooked, I am not sure if they were meant to be that way or not) Ambience 4/5 Service 5/5 Serving 5/5 Price 3/5 Overall 3.5/5

Our first time trying Tibetan food and we loved it! We tried a variety of dishes to get a scope of what the cuisine was like. Overall the food was very flavorful and made with fresh, high quality ingredients. Comfort food that didn’t make you feel heavy, weighed down or too full after. The flavors were complex but not overpowering or overly spicy. We started with the fried momo combo which had an assortment of beef, chicken and veggie fillings. The skin was a little less like a noodle and more like a noodle-ish phyllo dough with less flakey crunch. They were very tasty and had savory fillings. For the mains we had a few small plates to share with friends. The crispy pork ribs were perfectly crisp and juicy pieces of meat on the bone. Mutton curry was flavorful, not too heavy or complex in flavor and had perfectly cooked, non gamey mutton. Phaktsee was a perfect balance of bright and fresh green onion, garlic, spices and crisp pork belly. And finally Pingsha which had a nice balance of
