Editorial Review
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 staff 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 available. Shamdae, a wonderful lamb curry, is accompanied by sweet steamed bread. For dessert, a not-too-sweet, monastery-style baked rice and dried fruit pudding. Finish off with a cup of rich and lightly salted butter tea.
