Tibet Kitchen

First time I’ve been here and everything was phenomenal. The service was excellent. Prices are reasonable. The food was fresh. I recommend the dry chilli chicken.
The owner was genuinely interested and in our opinion of the food. I’ll be going back for sure!

My favorite food joint in Parkdale. Amazing taste and great prices. Doesn’t look too special from the outside or inside but serves up fantastic Tibet food. Had the blood sausages, chow mein and chilli chicken. The portions were huge so had enough to fill me up and take out.

Food is as good as usual. Love their shae-​thuk ngolpa (hakka chowmein) & spicy shrimp. Everything on the menu is amazing. This place never disappoints me.

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times and every time I go, I am always greeted with such warmth from the owner Garab! Him and his wife are the sweetest, most accommodating people I’ve ever met!
This place is small but cozy and makes you feel right at home. I ordered the chilli chicken (no gravy, chicken pakoras and steamed beef momos and it is AMAZING!
I cannot wait to go back and hopefully check out their patio over the summer :)

Best Hakka Chinese in Toronto hands down. Specially if you’re from India. It reminds you of restaurants back home. Not very upscale but very homely. The owners and servers are very welcoming. I work as a cook in a restaurant and I really would recommend this to anyone I know. Love this place. Even better in the summers when they open their small and cozy patio. Check it out !!

Nice place for dinner. The patio is basic but the vibe is great. I went on a Friday night and they had a singer doing karaōke of old bollywood songs and the crowd was totally digging it. Food: the pitcher of beer was flat :(But the chilli pork was so amazing! the beef something I ordered was pretty blah (so boring I don’t remember what I ordered). And the chicken momos was pretty good too. The service was super nice and they are willing to listen to feedback so I hope they improve.

Great food. Great service. A place to be if you miss home.
Excellent staff and good pricing.

OMG! I miss Tibet kitchen already!!! The owner is so funny and friendly. The environment is so lively and the atmosphere was just so uplifting. I loved all of the dishes especially gyuma because since I live in Chicago, we don’t have any Tibetan restaurant here. I am hoping to visit again during winter. STRONGLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO GO TO THIS RESTAURANT! You won’t be disappointed!

What a hidden gem this place is.
Tucked away in Parkdale among many other Tibetan restaurants, this one takes the cake.
Our party of four visited for the first time on a Saturday night, with my three guests never tasting Tibetan food before. They were all pleasantly surprised :)
Tibetan cuisine resembles a mix between Chinese and Indian dishes, with an emphasis on spice and taste. Our order for the evening included:
1) Momos (aka dumplings) — we tried both the steamed and fried variety. The fried were great, and are a lot less oily than a chinese dumpling is. The meat inside both kinds was moist and very flavourful. The steamed were soft and warm — a plate of these alone would have made me happy
2) Chili Chicken — DELICIOUS. A must order. Spicy and savoury and crispy and tender. Order it
3) Chicken Pakoras — also delicious. Well seasoned and a great sharing snack. Would definitely order again.
4) Gyuma (aka Tibetan style sausage) — don‘t be thrown off by the appearance. It‘s quite dark, and may remind some of blood sausage or other ‘mystery‘meats, but it is not. Its beef and rice and mild and delicious.
All the food was top notch and definitely worth ordering.
But the best part of the night? The service.
The owner is one of the nicest men you will likely ever meet. He took the time to know our names, to ask about the food, to explain each dish, and even explained all of the beautiful artwork adorning the walls after our dinner. If anything was wrong I am sure he would have fixed it in a heartbeat. It’s makes the experience so much more memorable with service like that.
I will be back again and again. And for Tibetan food lovers, or for those who have never ventured into this tasty world yet, be sure to give Tibet Kitchen a try :)

Being a Tibetan I’m pretty picky with my Tibetan foods. & it’s hard to find satisfying good Tibetan food. But Tibet Kitchen is beyond my satisfaction. Super like!

I’ll admit it. I am completely unfamiliar with Tibet/​Nepalese food. I had been waiting for someone else in my circle to try it. Then base my decision on that whether I should go. I’ve seen and walked by numerous Tibetan restaurants and had never gone in.
One day, I was surfing and saw some of the highest ratings for food — in general, for one of the places I kept walking by, Tibet Kitchen. After that, I made a plan to go and try it on my own. I was pleasantly surprised!
I ordered their lunch special Chili Chicken (Jhasa Khatsa) made to your heat preference. It came with a vegetable spring roll, rice, pickled daikon/​carrots and hot and sour soup. I also ordered their beef momos (shae mo).
The food was incredible! Flavourful with just enough heat for me in the chili chicken. The accompanying vegetable spring roll was crispy and not greasy. The hot and sour soup completely hit the spot. Warm goodness that really helped me out that cold day. The steamed beef dumplings were a delight. Two sauces come with it: one with some kick and the other without.
Hard to say which was the highlight because in all honestly everything tasted good. The coffee was amazing too! They use Propeller coffee folks. Good stuff.
One of the things that made the experience over the top was the customer service. It turns out the welcoming host, Garab, was the manager. He’s such a pleasant fellow and extremely helpful with any questions you might have. It’s so great to support an independent local restaurant when you realize how much passion they have for what they produce and want to share.
Give them a try. Absolutely worth your time, pocket and palette.

This review is long overdue but I think that’s ok because now that I have been here twice, I can agree on the consistency of the dishes.
Both times I came here I tried:
1.Chicken and Beef Momo: Really good! the outer layer is not thick but extremely soft and moist. The filling however could be better (Om has better filling)
2. Beef Tripe: OMG! The best ever!!! I don’t know what spices they use but its amazing! Not for the weak hearted though… be warned!
4. Chilly Chicken: I really like the chilly chicken here, its not the usual Indo-​Chinese style but I actually prefer this over that.
5. Chilly Pork: Slices of pork and onions beautifully spiced with bits of green chilies. Definitely try!
6. Tibetan Chowmein: So good! Its got almost everything in it, prawn, beef, chicken, egg and veggies. The noodles are thin and its an extremely well seasoned dish. This one is not traditionally spicy (if you like spicy then you have to ask for it)
I usually have all of the above with a cup of Indian chai. This however was better today than the last time. It was more flavoursome.
There were four of us and a baby, and the quantity was perfect. The only thing missing was dessert (they don’t have a lot of options… mostly ice-​cream). We split the bill and it was $ 38 with tip (for two people). Very well priced and reasonable.
Bottom line, the food here satisfies my craving for spicy food. It is also consistently good, not to forget the service here is exceptional. The owner always has a smile on his face and is very accommodating. The place by itself is not very large but cosy. It also has a very clean bathroom in case the spice takes you by surprise.
This is definitely my go-​to spot for Tibetan Cuisine!
PS: I don’t know much about their alcoholic beverages since I never drink there, but I did see a few guys having beer. So I know you can get that if you want.

Foods were delicious! coming back fo sho!

I always find myself craving for the food here. I travel from a bit of ways just to eat here which no other restaurant in Toronto has made me do. I live about 30 mins away but I find myself here at least 2 or 3 times a month sometimes even more. I have brought multiple friends here to try the food out and every single friend has loved the food and the service.
Tibet kitchen is good for families, friends, or even a first date. I know me and boyfriend love it here ! …
I highly recommend their momos (tibet style dumplings) beef in a moon shape for extra juiciness ‚
Also if u love spicy food try there chili chicken I recommend to order without the gravy Becuz it brings a crispness to each bite.

Had a lot of great, inexpensive meals here. Despite the affordability, it is still clean, cute, and welcoming. The menu has a lot of dishes that are basically a spicy twist on traditional Chinese food (if you’re not familiar with Tibetan food, that’s an easy way to get the picture).
Love the steamed momos (instead the fried) and the chili fries are a surprisingly pleasant appetizer. Soups are good, too.
I always get greeted with a smile and good service, but I think that’s because the owner thinks I’m one of the Property Brothers.

The owner is so sweet, he’s honest and friendly to everyone who comes in, it’s evident that he is very passionate about the wellbeing of the restaurant and customers.
Everything that I’ve tried thus far has been delicious. (The mango lassi compliments any dish you get, mmm.) In addition, the Momos are truly authentic to the traditional Tibetan variation of dumplings. What can I say? We like our beef Momos hearty and made with love!
I don’t always visit Parkdale, but when I do I always make it a point to drop by.

I am truly an advocate to this restaurant. ever since I found out about it I have fallen in love with the food and the service! I live a bit of ways from Tibet kitchen but I find that the drive is totally worth it!!! always a craving satisfier !..
if you like spicy food try out their chili chicken dry, very flavourful!
and if your not so into spicy food momo (Tibet style dumplings) are my favourite!
so succulent and juicy, so much better then the regular dumpling!
lots of culture in the restaurant and it shows through the owners and service!
there are always so polite and kind! which is another reason for my constant return!
I with out a doubt always bring my friends to try this place out and they all love it as well.
I can now say I am a regular even though sometimes it take me 40 mins to get there depending on where I am coming from if I want to get my Tibet food, nothing will stop me to get to Tibet kitchen!!! and because I live far I always order for take out after my meal as well to bring home to my family and boyfriend, because just like me they love it too.

3.5*, pumped up for friendly and hospitable servers!
Momos = straight up Dumplings. Just under a different name and it was accompanied by pickled strips of daikon/​carrots and this light orange coloured chilli sauce.
I came here during their «Momo Munch Fest» where 100% of their proceeds went back to their community. However, I feel as if I came on the wrong night as momos (steamed, beef) were literally the ONLY thing on their menu — saved pop, tea, water, & some of their chicken soup.
So since their menu was so limiting, I shared a plate with a of momos with a friend and we ended up eating elsewhere.
I loved the skin of the momos. They seemed to be made in-​house. However, I found the beef stuffing a tad dry and tasteless. The sauce/​pickled veg on the side definitely helped!
I’m not sure how they’re supposed to taste in Tibet, but in China, they innards are definitely more tasty! So momos alone, about a 3*, but all the servers were lovely and very welcoming during their charity event.

I can’t say enough about Tibet kitchen. Great service, great value and an amazing lunch menu. For 7.99 you get a main dish, a tingmo (steamed dumping for dipping) a fried momo and a choice of two soups. Everything is fresh and delicious.
⁵⁄₅ !!!

Amazing food with vegan/​vegetarian options on the menu. Service is quick and portions are quite big. There’s also a pretty patio at the back. There’s plenty of seating inside as well.
Great place for a family gathering or to watch the game.

1ere expérience de gastronomie tibétaine!
— le cadre est très apaisant avec ses décos locales, banderoles décoratives aux couleurs du Tibet ainsi qu’un grand portrait du dalaï Lama.
— La nourriture en elle même est ultra protéiné car le peuple tibétain est habitué à marcher de longues distances dans les montagnes. Vous aurez donc droit à une soupe au poulet en entrée suivi d’un plat de riz au poulet sucré avec ses légumes et une boulette de viande de boeuf à la saveur plus qu’étonnante.
Il y a aussi des spécialités bien locales comme le thé au yahourt et beurre que je vous déconseille si vous n’êtes pas habitué au régime ultra protéiné et beurré. Prenez plutôt un coca pour agrémenter votre repas.
–l’accueil est quand à lui impeccable, le gérant n’hésitera pas à vous conseiller sur les plats à prendre et n’ira pas directement au plus cher.
La formule du midi comprend entrée, plat + boisson le tout pour 8 $: imbattable!

Même si la deventure né paye pas de mine c’est vraiment un restaurant à essayer!
Quand nous somme arrivés il n’y avait personne, mais le restaurant nous avait été fortement recommandé! donc on essaye quand même!
L’endroit est très propre, calme, c’est très appaisant de manger dans ce restaurant!
En plus des plats il y a un menu le midi à 6,50 $ environ (HT) et si vous arrivez à le finir, bravo! Car c’est très bourratif, mais qu’est-ce que c’est bon! C’est vraiment une nourriture différente de tout ce que j’ai gouté auparavant, c’est à essayer au moins une fois! D’ailleurs pour le menu le choix est très varié, au moins 8 plats différents!
Le service est assez rapide, rien a redire sur la prestation!
