Shangrila

Great food! Interior is pretty authentic too. Has a cool feel.
I wouldn’t suggest going on a weekend night because it gets quite busy!
Recommendations:
Crispy beef, chili chicken, veggie deluxe, momos for apps & the tripe for apps is AMAZING.

Tasty food. Ordered vegetarian food. Friendly service. Hot sauce is too hot but we loved it. Noodles were ok but rest everything was tasty. It was crowded and it did take 15 – 20 minutes for the food to be ready. I would recommend this place. Love hearing to bollywood songs here.

Okay so we were a little tentative but something in the air pushed us to try a new spot and thankfully we came across this place! Atmosphere is warm and comfortable and casual. Menu is pretty straightforward though the repetition of the same dishes in the front middle and back of the menu had us wondering if for the same price you could have an appetizer, main or special sized plate! The momos were reminiscent of Chinese dumplings with a hint of curry or maybe tumeric. Glad we tried those. The hand shaved noodles are delicious but the broth was a little too spicy for me, great texture though. Their cauliflower did not disappoint. You get worried sometimes when you see things like ‘house specialty’, but I actually think this was my favorite dish of the night. Will go back and try more of the menu, round 1, a success.

Looking for Veg momos, we found this treasure serving very tasty veg momos and Indian Chinese food. Mouthwatering momos and lovely people serving make it little more better.
Had Chilli Momos at next visit, awesome man. Hats off to the chef and sweet owner couple.

One of my favourite restaurants in Toronto. Tons of seating, and I love the décor. It’s also much cleaner than other restaurants in the Parkdale area. The owner is really sweet and welcoming. I’ve tried veggie momos at other restaurants, so far this restaurant has the most tasty veggie momo. They are also served in a bamboo basket steamer. Price is very affordable. The menu here has tons of options, and has many vegetarian selections. I’ll come back on he weekend for their specials!

I don’t have much experience with Tibetan food, so I can’t compare Shangrila to many other places. With that said I was very satisfied with my food. The dumplings and curry were pretty good. The meal was a decent price and filled me up.

Bikng home from Panamania at exhibition and we stumbled upon this nice Tibetan place for dinner. The place is nice and antique. We were seated by the entrance since we wanted to keep an eye out for our bikes but there seems to be more traditional seating towards the back. Ordered chili chicken momos and mutton curry. From what I know about Tibetan food it is a lot like hakka so when I ordered their shangrila chili chicken that was what I expected. However a stir fried chicken in tandoori type of mix was served. I wasn’t disappointed. The dish was actually quite good. The spices wasn’t over powering, the onion wasn’t over cooked and the chicken was tender. The mutton curry was also good. Had a good mutton taste and a dark yellow curry type of sauce. It was so good we practically licked the dish. The momo was OK. The beef momo I found was dry. The chicken had too much cumin but over all not bad. It was a good meal. Good thing we were biking home or I would feel too much of a heffer after that meal.

The crispy cauliflower… DAMN!!! Sure is good~~~ Then we ordered the steamed chicken momo, which was 10 pieces in a bamboo basket. ALL of them are good, first time trying Tibet food and it was GOOD! :)

Crispy cauliflower is to die for. Never thought cauliflower could be so tasty. Great food and service. Assorted momos are a fave.

A great spot. I love the chili fish here, it’s really good (not very hot but savory). The beef momos are also done very well — fried are always a fave but steamed are good too. Cauliflower app is great.
As for the atmosphere, it’s another little gem in Parkdale. It’s tranquil and the staff are very friendly.

Superb service and delicious food, what more can we expect from a restaurant, and the price is great!

Just love this place! The ambience, food and of course the hosts. The trademark momos (I go for pork mostly) are delicious and you can’t go wrong with the pork chilly. Crispy beef is another item you don’t wanna miss on the menu. And the chow mein, and noodle soup, and everything else on the menu :)
Lately they started serving Steam Whistle on the tap, so yay! You can catch hockey on the big screen while lounging on the floor — I prefer this seating over the chairs, although you might want to come in a group of 4 for that.
The hosts are friendly and honest, which is always a good thing. Highly recommended and I personally come here as often as I can.

Both Tibet Kitchen & Shangrila were my first forays into Tibetan food, but if someone were to ask me to describe it, I’d say «watered down Hakka food». At least that’s how the food at Shangrila tasted to me.
First, food took FOREVER to arrive to table at just-​under 1 HOUR! To me, that’s simply unacceptable, unless the kitchen is being slammed or something. Restaurant was almost full, but I’d say manageable.
Servers were nice, but they mentioned at the half-​hour mark that they had new kitchen staff ’cause people had called in sick. I think it would’ve been better if this was mentioned during/​after ordering. Not 30mins in.
Paneer Manchurian — Ok, tasty, gravy was quite watery. I didn’t find it all that spicy. Do NOT expect it to taste like Indian paneer.
Aloo Phingsha — Waaay too watery and bland tasting. Tasted sorta like tom yum soup with some Jew’s ear fungus, slivers of beef, pieces of tasteless potato, vermicelli, and some other chopped veg floating around.
Indian Railway Tea (chai) — Good, but too too strong or sweet. Fresh brewed I can tell, not from a powdered mix.
All in all, I would’ve had a better first impression if I was pre-​warned about the wait time. Again, to wait an hour for food is a-​no. Servers did seem sweet and apologetic tho.
Food-​wise, I think I may have ordered the wrong items. Perhaps their drier, fried items are better?

very calm welcoming feel. tibetan-​themed art and music.
shangri la noodles w pork was great. noodles were thick and chewy. tasted fresh. shredded veggies (carrots and cabbage) were a nice contrast in texture to the noodles. ive never had momos before. we got the chicken. the dish is very similar to chinese xiao long bao, but the wrap is thicker, there is more meat inside, and less soup. i personally like the chinese version better, but this was quite good. wrap was fresh, chicken was tender and flavorful, and there was some soup on the inside.
i usually dont like hot sauce, but the orange colored sauce added a nice kick with subtle sweetness. free wifi.

I’ve been here twice. On the most recent visit, we dropped by in the early evening to an all-​but empty restaurant and were told we could seat ourselves wherever we liked. We had come specifically for the cushion seating, but were immediately asked to choose a different seat. The waitstaff seemed irked with us.
While the spring rolls, broccoli and mushrooms and veggie curry were fine, the rice seemed very stale and hard. The Mango lassi was nice and not too sweet and I love the railroad chai, but I don’t think that’s going to be enough to lure me back.

The last time we were here in Toronto we saw a handful of Tibetan /​Nepalese /​Himalayan restaurants on queen street west of Parkdale. Hmmmmm never seen that before — to do list!
Unilocal’d it and Shangrila it was, we wanted to sit on the floor and eat!
Having never tried this food before have to say it was delicious — yes the Momos are the bomb, literally too! We had the steamed ones and when you bite in some soup explodes out!
It was like Indian food, but not as many layers of spices. Very flavorful and vibrant! We chatted with the owner, he looked Asian but sounded Indian, cool! Very knowledgeable and told us where to go in NYC (Jackson Heights) for Tibetan food!
The restaurant was definitely a hole in the wall place, could use a makeover, but will not stop us from coming back to try more things!

Amazing service, the MoMo’s we’re delicious! If you get them though be careful of the soupy liquid in them! It’s the best part!
Oh, and they have HOMEMADE chow mein noodles!!! The crispy beef is one of their signature dishes and I personally found it a bit hard, but the sauce was still delicious.
We will definitely be back for more MoMo’s and to try and few more things!
PS. Their hot sauce is amazing… We had some left over and I put them into home made burgers the next night…, delish!!!

More than ten years after living in a city somewhat close to Tibet in India. and tasting delicious to die for momos served on the street in an ultra narrow lane. I finally fine something close to it right here in Toronto!
My salivary glands have no control near a bamboo box of steamed momos and the perfect hot sauce to accompany it; and Shangrila delivers!
The chilli chicken and the chili potatoes are delicious too. Some of the other items I’ve had could be better though else I wouldn’t shy from a 5 star rating
The service is always friendly and courteous. The restaurant itself is very homely and warm. I’m waiting for the day I can steal that large sit down area on the floor with a large group.
Oh and very decently priced too! Must try

Shangrila is an authentic Tibetan restaurant from the food, the service and the atmosphere.
Family own and runs, I feel like I am dining in a friend place and I did feel right at home and even fell asleep. (Disclaimer: I was tired since I have been walking and drinking the whole day!)
Tibetan cuisine is quite simple since their climate and geography limited to what they able to produce. Flour, meat and root vegetables are common ingredients used as bases of most of the dishes.
Mixed Momo and Thenthuk (house made noodle in broth) both have this rustic home made feel. There is nothing fancy here but just something comforting.
Service is slow but friendly… or maybe the lighting was just too dim and I just feel too comfortable. zzzzzz

De très bons plats pour moins de $ 10 par tête, servis copieusement et avec le sourire. Les spécialités du restaurant sont incontournables.

The server was lovely and smiley. This is a mix of Tibetan, Nepali and Indo-​Chinese food. Spring rolls — tasty but dripping oil in a way I’ve never seen before. Momos were great. Thupka was decent — fresh noodles and broth. Chili chicken and chicken with black bean sauce were ok — not good but not bad either. Fried rice (chef’s special) was decent.
Quite a cozy casual spot for dinner. I’d definitely visit again, if just for the momos and the friendly server. Our total bill came to $ 50 taxes in for all this food. Do make sure to check into your Unilocal app to get free soup or soft drink!
