Calming, humble space. The owner was attentive and served us cookies she made earlier in celebration of Lunar New Year. :) Would certainly return.We enjoyed the wood-ear noodles and Jasha-shedre (a chicken curry soup) with madagascar pink rice. More than enough for two people! We finished off with Dresy, which is a sweetened rice dessert that is traditionally used in ceremonies. Delicious!

Great food, great service but I think the portion size isn't good for the price. I can easily see this becoming my daily momo stop :)

This place is spectacular. We got the eggplant chip appetizer, salmon momo, and gluten free sweet potato noodles. The eggplant chips were warm fritters with delicious eggplant inside and topped with wonderful spices (but not spicy). The Momos were tasty too, but the star of our dinner show was the GF sweet potato noodles with chicken. This was like pad Thai, only a million times better.I’ve walked past this place numerous times and I’m so happy we stopped in today. I’ve been to most restaurants in Berkeley, and this is my new favorite.It’s also beautifully decorated, unpretentious, and the service was great.Thanks for a wonderful meal!

Their food is good, but I don't know why there were small flying bugs when I had dinner with my friends, which was kind of annoying.

Great experience - super kind staff and good for those w allergies/restrictions. Food is healthy and affordable. Flavor feels more homey; not super strong.

We ordered the noodle soup and momo soup and enjoyed them both. The broth is very flavorful. Also very reasonably priced. Service is quite slow, however, so just make sure you leave plenty of time for your meal.

So looking from the outside and even once inside I was hesitant.To my surprise: the food was amazing.!! Spicy, fresh and hot.!!This will be now my low key go to place for a pick me up dish.
This place is a hidden gem. I would not normally walk in this restaurant but man this place is awesome!!This is a family owned restaurant, feels homely, authentic Tibetan ambience, friendly service, variety in menu and quality food. One can sense the love put in the business and food. The restaurant has been here since 1999.( they have survived a lot if ups and down and they’ve got the food to back it up)We ordered chang and bod-jha for drinks and sha momo(chicken), sha-bhak-leb( beef) , sho-kho-kha-tsa(potatoes) and then-thuk(beef) for food. I tell you, this made my day, week and month. This was hands down, one of the best foods in Sf. The lady was kind to offer us some khapse( made for their new year, not in the menu).I was happy at this restaurant!!Vegetarian options: A lot of vegetarian options available at this restaurant.

Cafe Tibet was absolutely delicious and also inexpensive - what else could I ask for? I got a flavorful bowl of momo soup and it was massive, I wish I included a spoon for scale in the photo. Go support this restaurant!

Healthy, homely, tasty and reasonably priced. It was my first time here and I can confidently say we will be coming back often! Food they serve are rare in the bay area. They serve honest food which I value. I highly recommend the barley soup, it warmed my soul and its so different from the other soups I've had. The owner was so nice and welcoming, we really enjoyed our dinner here

Absolutely love this family owned tibetan restaurant in Berkeley. I don't think I have seen another Tibetan place in the bay area. Their Momos are too die for, as is their fried eggplant dish. Also love the macrobiotic plates. More importantly, I love the owner, the decor and the vibe of the place. One of my happy places in the bay area.

Very small so a wait for a table is understandable unless you get rude staff who don't even offer you the option of waiting, or setting chairs at the last existing table. Been a long time since I stepped into a restaurant to be told there's no room, no table in a rather rude voice. Maybe their food is better than their service but I won't find out because I'll never go back.
