Ok Experience

by papasmirk

My girlfriend and I were walking down 3rd Ave trying to find a place to have dinner. We saw the Tibetan Kitchen and decided to try the place. Her mother is vegetarian and figured it would be a nice place to taste test.

As a few people mentioned. The food wasn't too memorable. As Erik F. mentioned, we found it to be bland. The dumplings were good and with the added pepper sauce made it tasty.

I got the lamb curry and my girlfriend got the beef noodles. Once again we had to add some pepper sauce for additional flavor. We didn't have dessert because nothing really stood out.

We went there on a Friday night and the place was filled. There were a couple of large groups there that took up a lot of the staff's time. We felt a little ignored at times. Waiting awhile for our order to be taken. At one point a woman from another table went to the bar to refill her glass with water.

The staff was friendly but didn't have too much time because of the large groups. The food wasn't all that special. If you're vegetarian, this might be the place for you.

• Pros: Friendly Atmosphere, Neighborhood Restaurant
• Cons: Bland Food

Delicious, healthy fare

by west50s

I love this place because the the food has always been delicious no matter what we've tried, the decor is sumptuous and inviiting, and the service is attentive but not intrusive. Also, the menu is vegetarian friendly. Dishes that we've enjoyed are the glass noodles, curries and momos (dumplings). The juice drinks are also very refreshing (beet/apple/carrot, etc.). It's a great place to go if you live in the neighborhood or just want a casual, good value place to go with friends.

• Pros: Good food, good value, pleasing decor
• Cons: Not the place for you if you're looking for greasy comfort food

NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL

by anting

My friend and I went on a Sunday night and being unfamiliar with Tibetan cuisine, ordered the waitress's recommendations for the "tastiest dishes on the menu." The food was terrible! Both the beef and the chicken were overcooked -- surely that's not part of traditional Tibetan cuisine.

I shudder to think what the rest of the menu must be like if those are their best dishes.

• Pros: A/C on high
• Cons: The food
