Shambhala Kitchen (Tibetan & Himalayan Cuisine)

The atmosphere was quite nice for a group of two people. I ordered gyuma and shabtak and to be honest, I wasn’t impressed in terms of both taste and price wise . It wasn’t worth the price . Salty and they put over vinegar in them.

I’ve visited this place so many times and it never disappoints! The food is always amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. On top of that, the owner is truly one of the sweetest people I’ve met — so welcoming and caring, which makes every visit even more special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and a warm atmosphere!

A Laphing Lover’s Dream
Treasure trove of authentic Tibetan and Himalayan flavors, known for warming dishes like momos and thukpa—and for fans of cold noodles like me, its Yellow Laphing is nothing short of exceptional

Ordered my Fav Steamed chicken momos.
They were good but nothing exceptional.
We ordered a takeout. I found them very small compared to some of the other places i have had the momos.

An absolute must-visit! The food here is top notch, bursting with flavors and served in generous portions that truly justify the price. The service is excellent, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. A special thanks to Tenzin, the manager, who is fabulous at guiding you to their most delicious dishes. Great food, great service, and great value – you can’t go wrong here!

The food was great, but the service was absolutely unacceptable. Our server was extremely rude in both tone and body language throughout the entire dining experience, and at times her behavior felt racially motivated toward our table.

To begin with, we were a group of four and were only given one menu. When I politely asked for more, she rolled her eyes and snapped “FINE.” I didn’t realize asking for menus at a restaurant was such an unreasonable request.

Later, when we asked for larger plates for our mains, she responded with “What do you need plates for?” As if eating out of oversized bowls without proper plates was somehow the expectation.

The food itself was very good, but the constant rudeness, dismissive attitude, and the racial undertone of her service completely ruined what should have been an enjoyable evening.

Had a terrible experience couple weeks ago as we never got our order after waiting for like 20 to 25 minutes. They said that they gave it to some other table by mistake which was very disappointing.

First off the food here is amazing! We had the beef deep-fried momo and Shabta dry absolutely delicious. The Laphing and chili chicken are also a must try. Totally worth it.

But while we were sitting right in front of the reception, we saw something really unfair go down. Three brown women started yelling at the server just because they were regular customer and didn’t want to wait later when we went to give our bill we asked the server the server explained that they had originally come for takeout but changed their mind when a table was ready. Problem is, there were already two tables waiting yet they insisted on going first.

Honestly it was shocking to watch. Everyone around could hear the shouting and it was so rude. Huge respect to the server for staying calm and handling it like a pro. Being a regular doesn’t mean you skip the line one of them even said when heading out and shouting “ I’m regular here, it’s not fair” which really wasn’t fair at all. Sound so stupid to us.

Sitting there eating our amazing food and witnessing all that chaos, we couldn’t help but shake our heads but at least the momo and Shabta made it all worth it.

I had the best momo and fried rice here but unfortunately we witnessed something really unfair. I saw three brown women getting upset with the server just because they were “regulars” and wanted a table immediately instead of waiting later we asked the server what happened and she explained that they initially came to dine in but decided to take out since it might take time and when the table was ready they changed thr mind and wanted to dine in however thr were already two other tables waiting despite ths they insisted on being seated first because they already ordered takeout before the waiting customers

It was really rude of them and everyone at the table could see how the woman was shouting and causing a scene. Hats off to the server for handling it professionally and standing firm. Being a regular customer doesn’t mean you get special treatment , everyone should be treated equally. I even heard one of the women say “I’m a regular here and it’s not fair” which really isn’t fair at all.

Anyway the food was amazing! Definitely try mixed thukpa , veg Manchurian and fried rice they are all worth it.
