tibetan kitchen cafe

it's quite expensive but i love it! it was definitely one of the best dining experience i have ever had. themomoswere pretty much the same with fried pot stickers i've had in chinese restaurants-nothing special. the beef soup i had seemed very healthy, with a variety of fresh ingredients- it really satisfied my personal taste cuz it was not too tasteful, not salty at all but with good variety of veggies. a healthy and delicate dish just makes me happy! the poory (bread) was really delicious! i had the chai tea- it was perfect for someone like me who doesn't like drinks to be sweet. just loved its delicate and mild taste. the dessert gulab jamun only consisted of two balls but it's exactly what i wanted cuz it was really tasty and at the same time not too much- no one wants a big dessert after a big meal :) i believe they use local/ organic ingredients here so things were pretty costly. however, i really enjoyed everything i had cuz they are of high quality! the decor and the music are really soothing and pleasant!

this place maybe a bit pricey, but the food is definitely worth it! themomosare a must here if you are a dumpling fan. the curries are excellent as well!

surprisingly disappointing. saw the rave reviews and high ratings and figured it must be decent, but it was the exact opposite. bland, tasteless, and overpriced dinner. this cafe boasts organic, fresh food - but the veggies (broccoli, peas, carrots) all tasted like frozen ones to me, with no flavour. perhaps other menu items are better, but what we had was pretty bad. we had the veganmomos(they were okay, but they were deep fried and would have been better steamed), masala chai (awesome), thukpa (tasteless), and shepta (better but still boring and overpriced). we had pork, which i understand is a naturally dry meat - but this was exceptionally dry, over cooked meat. i was recently in northern india (dharamshala) where tibetan food is abundant, and sadly this cafe doesn't even come close.

what a disappointment. i used to come here for lunch quite a bit and thoroughly enjoyed the food. my husband and i came with another couple using a groupon last year and enjoyed our dinner. we finally came again last night and were totally shocked by the difference in quality and the high prices. the watermelon salad was $13 - so my expectations were high. cut up pieces of watermelon with some spinach on the bottom and goat cheese on top with what honestly tasted just like vinegar for the dressing. sometimes a simple dish can be exquisite - this wasn't. the only highlight was the kale and onion rings - actually pakoras - some with onion and some with kale. this was a ridiculously large portion - too much for the two of us. served piping hot and absolutely delicious for $10. i had the vegetarianmomosfor my entre - nothing special - nothing like i remember these being. the worst dish was the salmon curry which i have had before for lunch and found very tasty. for $20, there was a big bowl of curry, a smaller bowl of rice and another of steamed vegis and two puris - puffed fried bread. it only looked big as the curry was two severely overcooked pieces of salmon drowning in a soup of curry. my husband said it didn't taste like the salmon had actually been cooked in the curry. the glass of wine was only $6 but it was a very cheap wine. the service was very good - all of our needs and wants were quickly attended to. but overall i think it is obvious why the restaurant wasn't very busy on a saturday night. we won't be back. there are just too many other better choices in victoria.

very good. i have eaten here many times and have always come away happy. i usually order themomosand sha-palei but guests i am with have always been very happy with the various curries as well. i also like the fact i can order brown rice.

good food. went there a couple of days ago, tried the lamb curry,momosand the septa. everything was amazing, specially the bread served with the lamb was great. the indian dishes were authentic, only suggestion would be to add more tibetian dishes as the menu was heavily indian.

alright. we had dinner here a couple of weeks ago, and i don't remember the exact dishes that we ate. we thought everything was good, but nothing was exceptional. i thought that the olive oil in the salad that came with themomoswas an odd flavour.
the service was faily awkward. our server was clearly new and couldn't answer the vast majority of our questions, which was disappointing since we were hoping to learn more about a cuisine that we were unfamiliar with. the other server, who seemed like he may be an owner, was very nice and funny. however, it felt like he was staring at us the entire time.

good & cheap. we tried tibetan kitchen for lunch, the server was odd but the food was tasty and cheap. we had themomosand then curry. they even added an extra momo to our order so we could each have 2 - nice touch.

dazzlingly delicious!. my family and i went here for the first time this evening and were blown away by the outstanding food, service, and prices. the food was filling and fresh; satisfying without being stuffy; and truly, truly scrumptious. we're all vegetarian and found their veggie options to be out of this world amazing. we had the vegetarianmomos(pan-fried dumplings) as an appetizer and right from the start we knew we were in for a treat; themomoswere light, crispy and flavorful, providing the perfect opening to the meal. we followed this with a mild paneer, a beautifully prepared spinach curry which we had on brown rice; thupka, a dazzlingly delicious soup with vegetables, tofu, miso broth and noodles; and shepta, which is a masterpiece of a stir-fry served on a bed of rice (in this case white). the service was incredible: attentive but never pushy, engaging, friendly, helpful, patient and truly eager to make our experience the best it could be. we finished the evening off with cups of chai tea--the perfect conclusion to what was honestly one of the best nights out i have ever had.
