Large, tasty menu. We tried the Momo combo and a noodle soup, and they were spectacular. Barley tea was perfect. Can't wait to come back and try more! The Tibetan chanting on the stereo helps with digestion, I'm sure.

Had the Then-thuk and it was really good. Very soothing and filling, which was just what I needed.
We also had the combo momo dumplings which were also really good.
Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Calm, soothing environment with soft and peaceful music in the background.

Tasty vegan eats! Momos, curries potatoes, and hand pulled noodles. What’s not to love😄

Large menu of tasty vegan food! The potato dumplings (momo) were especially delicious, but there’s so much I haven’t tried yet and look forward to trying in the future!
Nice ambiance with traditional music and incense. (If sensitive to incense it might be better to get take-out.)
We should all support this place!

5 stars because I don’t think there is any all vegan Nepalese elsewhere in the Bay Area! Staff were very kind and recommended the soup to us! This place is newly all vegan and right down the way from the Butcher’s Son, nice to support an all vegan establishment!

We got the momos, tofu chips, and a noodle soup with handmade noodles. They were all fantastic and so delicious. The star of the show was the curried potatoes - not to be missed! The staff were kind and prompt. The restaurant was empty at 6pm on a Sunday but filled after 7pm.

An extensive menu, friendly people, and great vegan food with fresh, perfectly-cooked veggies! The beverage selection was also interesting and good. The steamed bread (Tingmo) was really nice to have with the entrees, so I’d recommend giving that a try as well!

Apparently they just became all vegan recently, and they are great! We had the momos and hand pulled noodles, and both were awesome!

Cafe Tibet is in my top 5 restaurants in the East Bay. I love their Ngoe-thuk pan friend sweet potato noodles with tofu and vegetables, which tastes so delicious and the portion so generous it makes me supremely happy! With their Himalayan seasonings, vegetables choices and take on fried rice, noodles, soups, and organic veggie dishes make unique and some of the healthiest Asian food around.
I am gluten free so I can't eat the Momos (Tibetan dumplings), but every person I have brought to Cafe Tibet orders them and says they are scrumptious.
There is an influence of Indian cuisine in some of the dishes and appetizers and their macrobiotic plates are also generously portioned and super tasty.
No boring, bland vegetarian food here.
I have been eating at Cafe Tibet for 6 years and the change to vegan was an enviromental choice on the part of the relative who inherited the restaurant from his Aunt who retired, but it hasn't effected the yumminess of their offerings.
I have spent the past 3 years between NYC, LA, SF and the East Bay and there is a bit of a foodie revolution going on in the later, surpassing everywhere else. I read a list recently that put Oakland as number one on a list as best city to eat out nationally. I am lumping all of the East Bay into that category, but I would agree, Oakland, Berkeley and Albany have it going on.
It's probably the influence of Berkeley's Chez Panisse which started the whole farm to table revolution using quality ingredients to make delicious healthy food. In any case Cafe Tibet is part of that community worth keeping on your Best of the Bay list.
Best vegan food I’ve had in a long time. It’s beautifully fragrant, juicy, and full of umami.
The portions could’ve been slightly bigger though.

The owners are incredibly passionate about food and the quality of produce they use is very high. Everything tastes amazing and the flavors are perfectly balanced. We also had the pleasure of talking to them for an extended amount of time during our dinner and learned so much about Tibetan culture! I can clearly see the restaurant becoming one of those iconic Berkeley institutions in the coming days.

One of the best dinner experience. This place is under new management and the couple has completely transformed the place. They only serve vegan freshly made dishes. You will feel like you are eating home made food. The food is flavorful and they use fresh organic ingredients.
Also had a great chat with the owners and their life story is amazing. 100% recommend to anyone wanting to try fresh vegan food.
