By far the best momos I have ever had. Amazing tofu curry too! Delicious steamed veggies. Great meal and great service.

I think I recall this place being in a different location nearby, and hadn't been back for awhile and loved that it's now fully vegan. I love the vibes and music in here and the staff are accomodating. The food was delicious and it was great they had a lot of gluten free options for my friend. We shared our dishes family style because we all wanted to try a lot of things but that wasn't super filling on it's own so we ordered more. The broccoli dish was most of our favorite!

Cute interior. Really like the full open windows in front and got a window seat.
Traditional meditative music
Friendly service but a tad slow with only one wait person.
Early dinner just after opening, so very few people. More arrived before I left.
Sho-ko Momo, potato version. Very wet filling. A few of them feel apart before I could get into my mouth. The mint is a nice accompaniment. Wolfed down all nine of them!
Ngoe-thuk organic version $4. She wasn't sure what the differences from one on the front page were other than being organic. Hope it's the version everyone raved about in reviews. Red Hot sauce and tamari condiments.
Great hand made noodles, broccoli, carrots, left greens, tofu, celery, scallions, pumpkin seeds, mildly spiced.
Didn't often get vegan lassi option do mango was refreshing
Normally might have fed two lite appetites if shared but this guy was hungry and polished it all off!
Bhaktsa-Marku, pasta brown sugar with butter. Whipped cream topping added! Want sure what to expect but nice tasty finishing touch. Chewy and sweet small pellets of pasta.

Kind quick service. Portions are a little small so order one extra dish. Dessert are delicious too. Everything we ordered was great.

The absolute best food by far. Four of us out walking around Shattuck looking for a place to eat on a Saturday when we happened by Cafe Tibet (the jazz band brought us down this street). This is a full vegan restaurant with the absolute best food I have tasted in a long time! Rich and full of flavor and you can be served either family style or order individually, this cafe will do it any way you like. I highly recommend Cafe Tibet to anyone, vegan or not, for food that is delicious and rich in flavors. And definitely try the desserts. So good!

My wife and I had an awesome experience here for lunch. We both got the combination Momos plate and shared it. I really liked the spinach ones. My wife really liked the potato ones.
For the mains, my wife got the fried rice (Shen-dea Ngoe-ma) and I got a tofu curry (Tsel-chu Tsel-Nezom). Everything was so tasty. Felt very nourishing and healthy.
This place reminds me of if Shangri-La had more of a menu with choices.

Can I give more than a five star rating? I wasn’t sure if dining here was a dream ( come true) or it really happened. Right after a long day driving from the Marley show at Stern Grove, we had another concert to attend at The Greek. But little poor me with my broken arm, I needed comfort food! I was wishing for a healing porridge, Konji, kitchari type dish, vegan of course. Then I see this all Vegan Tibetan, Restaurant. Normally, I pre-order everything and then just pick it up but this time something told me to sit down, dine in and let their healing foods make me feel better. The staff was so gracious, even though it was close to closing time, they treated me so well and without rushing me. In fact I kept offering to hurry and they wouldn’t hear of it. So sweet. Talking with the owner, he told me about how, when he took over this restaurant, he made the conscious decision to do things right. he did not want to participate in anything that had to do with animal cruelty. he also cares about the planet and environmentalism and knew how much water it takes just make one steak & how many suffer in the process of serving non vegan entrees. This is truly my kind of restaurant. I have never had mango lassi this good and I’m desi so that is saying a LoT!! Some of it spilled and you can bet I cried on the side lol. They have another blended drink that is definitely from heaven. It has fruits, healing herbs, dates, and made me feel so much better. I drank it as I waited for the food. I might have even went into a state of nirvana. The soup reminded me of healing soup my mom would make for me, for strength and comfort. It had barley and veggies, etc. and with their chili sauce I think it’s the only soup ever had where I drank it to the very last drop! Now I wasn’t sure if I should order their Momos because everywhere else that we’ve had Momos it hasn’t been that great of an experience, but can I tell you about these Momos? They are better than even any samosas or Momos I’ve had, anywhere! Honestly, it was so hard for me to not just finish them all. I had to control myself and only have two! Perfect potatoes perfect spices, perfect dough. All homemade and they make a homemade green chutney just like my parents would make from our garden. OMG is this place real or did I enter a Himalayan cloud of bliss?? This restaurant, the staff and the compassionate owner deserve lots of love and support from the vegan community. Their menu is full of thought and rare real foods with healing ingredients. The owner even makes all of his meat substitutes for the dishes where people prefer to have that option. He also won’t sell out to corporations that unhealthy drinks like soda and doesn’t offer those items. So rare to step into such a caring establishment. This is the kind of place. I would send my family and friends too because I care about them and would trust that they would get the best meal served to them. I wish I could come more often!

Visited twice in 24 hours 😭 that’s how good this place is!! This place is completely vegan, and even the non vegetarians in our group were blown away! The flavors are incredible and the atmosphere was calming and friendly. Pricing is very fair. The momo’s with the special mint sauce was incredible.
This sweet gem of a restaurant felt like I was eating at my mom's kitchen! 🥰 We tried the combination momo (potato was the best) and tsel bhak-leb (crispy goodness 🤤). The momo's were not for me, but would recommend the tsel bhak-leb. The staff was attentive and kind! It is worth going back to explore the rest of the menu.

The food here is delicate and restorative. The service is kind.
Not to be missed.
We had the momos in mint sauce and a hand-pulled noodle dish that had delicate, subtle flavors.
Generous, reasonable portions.
We’ll be back again and again. Including in our next lives! I’d be happy to not break the cycle of rebirth to eat this food.

A lovely place with delicious food made from scratch with fresh and oftentimes organic ingredients, extremely kind owners, and a special atmosphere that will transport you to a Tibetan home.
