Price Description

Regulars order momos (Tibetan-style dumplings), soups and curries at this laid-back Parkdale establishment. Popular items include langmay, a beef, broccoli and noodle dish, and the garlic-and-ginger-spiced Mughlai chicken curry. Patrons linger after eating, to chat over beer or watch television reruns. In warmer months, a spacious, leafy patio offers respite from urban stresses. Mains $7–$8.60.
