Little Tibet $30 Gourmet [?]

This restaurant has closed.

Except for a few hand-painted ceiling panels and a couple of photos of Tibet, the room is visually dull and definitely on a budget. Luckily, the kitchen manages to turn out some charming, if slightly westernized, Tibetan food. Instead of the barley, millet and yak abundant on Tibet’s plateaus, dishes include ample vege­tables, rice, wheat and beef. Friendly severs offer shrimp, beef and vegetarian momos (steamed or pan-fried dumplings), served with a decidedly South Asian tomato-based dipping sauce. Tibet’s staple grain, tsampa (roasted barley), can be sampled in a tasty soup, while authentic hand-pulled tentuk (noodle soup) is also tasty.
