  • “ I'm giving them 4 for service. Feel like service is really important. Their food is really spicy and nobody came to refill water :( ... ”

    Hassaan Khan
  • “ My girlfriend and I really loved the food here. Pretty much everything was delicious and so flavorful. The ambience was also very nice - quiet and peaceful but also busy as the night went on. The shrimp curry was absolutely amazing. The Bhale - Tibetan bread - was light and fluffy and so yummy. The soups were both delicious. The Tibetan tea was comforting and tasty but also strange if you hadn’t had it before. The momos (dumplings) were probably our least favorite dish as the dough wasn’t as light and flavorful as we’d have wished. We’d probably award this 4.5 stars if possible - a half star deduction because the service wasn’t very good. They were a bit inattentive (we didn’t have our waters filled once without us asking) and they were a bit standoffish. But the speed of the food arriving and the quality of the food compensated well. In any case, we’ll definitely be back!! ”

    Schuyler Bailar
  • “ About half of what we had was truly excellent. The other half was pretty good, but we weren’t as impressed. We really liked the chicken mughlay (it was like a not-spicy curry): it was buttery and very nicely spiced. The best was the vegetable nezom: the sauce was just enough savory, with a touch of sweetness, and nicely garlicky. Simple but amazing. We also tried the steamed chicken momo, it was ok; and the potato-pumpkin balls, which were interesting. The place had a nice intimate atmosphere, with nice decoration that looks authentic. ”

    Santiago Romero Brufau
  • “ Loved the food - so rich and flavorful including the drinks, apps, main course. One of the best Tibetan-Indian fusion restaurants in the Boston area ”

    Venkat Krisshna
  • “ Best restaurant in Davis. Seriously. It’s delicious. Every dish was amazing. My two year old daughter lost her mind. The momo, the beef, the chicken, the lentil soup! And as we were ready to leave, we were greeted by a bill of modest proportions and a mango lassi to go. ”

    Sarah Corrigan
  • “ Came in for a quick dinner before rehearsal. The Tofu Thukpa noodle soup was delightful. Spicy, warming broth overflowing with fresh veggies and tofu. Perfect for a chilly, windy day! ”

    Myrna Lempert (Divinemissm17)
  • “ Wow, such amazing food! We went with the recommendation of the waiter and were very glad we did. Lots of variety in the menu - I’m very familiar with this cuisine and there were still things I hadn’t tried before! Highly recommend. ”

    Cate Levey
  • “ I went there after seeing so many great reviews and they didn't disappoint. A great place to have Tibetan/ Himalayan cuisine in Boston. They have amazing prices considering the quality and service provided. The interior is aesthetically decorated. Love the momos and mango iced tea. Would definitely visit again. ”
