Tried calling to the restaurant to make an advance order before stopping by at noon; got answering machine stating closed dates... for Dec 2021 ???? which is weird for a first time customer in late Oct 2022? Didn't leave a message figuring it probably won'tmake too much of a difference. Not going to bother with delivery services as nowadays it costs way more to use them when my tempjob is one block away. Came in, server is quite prompt taking my order as soon as she took orders from customers before mewhich is fair. Food came in reasonable time considering it looks like one server & one cook in the establishment. I could havedone takeout but like the unique ambiance of the place & wanted to try a dine in lunch experience. Lunch lamb curry wasamazing, packed a delicious punch in flavor. Medium spice heat I ordered is quite up there & was close to my level limit;wondered how spicy hot is? (I'm laughing mentally because my ex-boyfriend with absolute zero heat tolerance would not thriveunless the restaurant offers a zero heat option?) On a serious note, if anyone has a severe lack of spicy heat tolerance, pleasetriple check with the server upon ordering. Server was free enough to walk around with a water pitcher but never stopped by tocheck upon me for first taste or anything else. ???? Did tell her when I walked to the till to get my bill to pay aboutcompliments to the chef & my gratitude for the tasty & filling meal that was obviously made with humble TLC. The meal is a realwinner, good value, & the spice did well to clear my nasal congestion & nagging post-common cold cough. Definitely will becomemy go to lunch spot whenever I neglect to pack a filling meal to work & will recommend for dinners too. Read more

Highly recommend eating at the Tibetan Kitchen Cafe. Food is homemade, fresh, and delicious. The service is friendly, helpful,... and kind without being cloying. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and beautiful on the inside. I had the vegetarian momos, &they were fantastic. There is clearly respect and time put into making the food. Great job! Read more

Authentic Tibetan restaurant. If you are someone like me who loves Spicy noodles, mom's, sweet Gulab Jamun and more, then give... this restaurant a try. Staff is super cooperative and exemplary in service. Wait time is less too. Soothing ambience and Tibetanmusic that's calming. I love this place and highly recommend. Read more

Decent food. We had Vegetable Momo and Mix Vegetable Curry. The curry comes with a side of rice, 2 poori and lentil soup. The... curry was tasty and so was the soup. The momo felt a little bland and we needed an extra serving of the hot sauce along. Read more

Service: impeccable and timely Menu: easy to navigate; Vegan and Vegetarian and Gluten free options... available!!!! Hooray!!!! And delicious! Portions: sizeable enough that plate prices yield good value for money VERY impressedwith the veggie stir-fry! Impressed with the Momos! Atmosphere in restaurant is comfortable / relaxed. If a person is diningin, the space features photography; historical and cultural information on Tibet; wrapped inTibetan decor. Our plates wereflavourful, hot and steamy and enjoyable. We enjoyed visiting on a Tuesday at the lunch - hour. We will be back, and werecommend. Read more

When we just got to the restaurant, there are only a table with 2 guests there. Then the place got busy quickly. I?m not a big... fan of curries but the curries here are just different and so so good, probably the best. We had pork momos, lamb and shrimpcurry, all were tasty. Service is friendly but a bit slow and not very attentive. I also like the atmosphere and the decorationof the restaurant. Read more
