Service was great. Ambiance is small and intimate. Wanted to try something new and found a Tibetan cafe. I loved the lentil soup and the chicken Momos. I can't wait to try some more things from this place.

YUM. Everything was so, so delicious. All the momo types are incredible. The spicy "dry" noodles are great too. We'll be back ASAP. (Cash only - there's an ATM in the bodega next door.)

Must try! Nice hole in a wall gem where it is hidden from everything. Everything I ordered were pretty on point. There's not a lot of tibetan food places in brooklyn. I like that they have assorted momos so i'm not committed to just 1 flavor.

One of my favorite restaurants. The Momos are delicious and came out quickly. Also enjoyable to sit outside in the summer and watch the trains go by. It would be nice if they allow BYOB but even without, still deserves 5 stars.

Decided to give this spot a second try last weekend, after feeling unimpressed with its takeout over 2 years ago. I'm glad we did - you just need to know what to order, especially as an Asian-American with a bias and expectation towards other Asian cuisines. Tibetan food seems to be a bit more bland compared to the food I'm used to and enjoy (Chinese, Thai, Indian, etc.) but since Cafe Tibet is such a highly rated spot in this area, I knew I had to give it another shot. Last time, we messed up on the momos. Granted, getting takeout also added to the mediocre experience vs. dining in this time around. I would not recommend the mustang spicy momos - I remember the skin being too thick and they were drenched in a bland hot sauce... just meh. This time, we got the combo momos (not spicy; just regularly steamed I believe) and they were much, much better. We weren't a fan of the veggie ones but wow the beef and chicken ones were so good! The beef ones even had a bit of broth inside - very juicy and similar to a Chinese-style soup dumpling. We also tried the house specialty, thali w/ lamb and tingmo, which was also pretty good. It's basically the Tibetan version of the Japanese bento box - you get a variety of food on a tray. The tingmo (steamed bun) and lamb combo was tasty and homey. Definitely worth the try. It was a cold day so my partner wanted to try the thukpa (egg noodle soup) with chicken. As expected, the flavor was on the light side - nothing special at all so can be skipped, BUT a great "chicken noodle soup" for anyone who may be feeling under the weather. Lastly, we had the chicken chilli, which indeed had a nice kick to it. Still leaning on the bland, lacking-in-depth side, the spice makes it a decent protein if you're looking for one. I think it's worth a one-time try but not sure if I'd reorder. We also had a cup of chai each and those were incredible. One of the best cups of chai I've had - super legit. I'd come back for the chai alone, and the beef & chicken momos. May sound a bit basic, but stick to those for a guaranteed satisfactory meal. Curious about the garlic noodles and cold noodles.

Oh snap! I guess you guys have figured it out! Cafe Tibet is the best! It's hidden and you can easily walk right past it. For a long time it was "if you know, you know" vibez. But since King's Theater opened...it has been a massive show crowd takeover. Sorry to all the locals. I used to live one mile south so I know the pain. You know your spots and then outsiders come and take your fave meals away. We arrived early before our own show but just from the looks of it...so did everyone else. Since we did arrive early though we snagged a table but had to give it up so the waitress could make a larger table and gave us a different table. It was madness. Progressively people arrive hungry and a little aggro, it was time crunch before the first band started. Cafe Tibet has been a favorite for so many reasons but the big one is food, period. Everything I've had here has been delicious. The beauty about coming as a couple is ordering a lot more. Oh hell yeah! We got the veggie momos. We ordered the shrimp thali and the veggie thali. We ordered homemade chai teas which in a dreary, rainy day was the best chai of my life. I bet this place is not using tea bags. It tasted too good. I'm thinking about it now and craving one. The curry was also the perfect chilly weather goodness. We fried the momos but I think here I like the steamed better. The thali is a huge plate so takes over a lot of the table. We kind were racing to make room on the table. I loved every bite. The sauces and the spices made me so happy. I am pescatarian and this kind of food makes me feel full and happy without feeling heavy. My bf was hinting that next time he might venture the meat route. To each their own. The only downfall was that it didn't come in the order of apps first. It came with whatever is ready first. Whatever Cafe Tibet is doing, they are doing it right. And this is why I'm a strong believe of supporting small businesses and trekking for delicious food. We are fortunate to be tourist in the city we live in. It's these small businesses that make NY great.

This is one of my favorite restaurants I've ever been to. I've been going here for many years. The food is outstanding, it warms the soul. No frills, very casual dining. The menu pricing hasn't changed since before COVID, which amazes me. Service is fast, and the food comes out piping hot. Get the chicken (bone in) curry, and the carrot soup. Everything is excellent, but those are my go to's.

Very charming spot tucked away by the train station! Was in need of a snack, and ordered the assorted momos and a veg curry with tingmo. momos, especially beef, were great. I was a huge fan of the outer layer. Which is also probably why I was obsessed with the tingmo. It was my first time trying this bread and I found myself eating it by itself, it was that good! So fluffy and chewy and cloud-like (forgot to get a photo bc I was too busy munching away)

Just came here again (much later than I would've wanted to, sadly, since I have very fond memories) and I wanted to update my review because I got some new things. I did order the fried momos and tsam-tsuk again (soooo good, though I think the chicken/pork momos were my favorite - the beef and veggie were good though for a variety). + Lamb curry - 5/10 - A very standard curry with a mild flavor but with kind of hard lamb. I feel like lamb is always kind of tough whenever I've had Tibetan food though so I'm not sure if this is just their thing. I would pass on this. + Smoked pork belly - 10/10 - Absolutely one of my favorite dishes in recent memory: the flavor of the pork belly is soo nuanced, with a sweet and sour taste initially that gives way to a smoky barbecue flavor and then to a lingering light burn. Totally addicting and so unassuming. I ended up taking the leftover sauce home so I could slice some pork belly and simmer it in the sauce, but they must have marinated the pork beforehand because my pork did not absorb it all the way even after an hour. + Avocado/tsampa/banana shake - 9/10 - I would've wanted more avocado flavor but I can't complain when I can't make drinks like this. It has a mostly banana flavor with a nutty aftertaste from the barley, which was very lovely. Would totally get again and now I don't know whether I'd get this or mango lassi next time (probably this because I can get mango lassi anywhere). + Dreysil - 4/10 - This was incredibly disappointing but funny because we were so shocked when we got this. The menu has this on the dessert section as "traditional food served for special occasions like holidays - rice, butter, raisins, yogurt." Well, there was no yogurt at all, and it really was just mildly sweet, very faintly buttery rice with some golden raisins sprinkled throughout. My friend and I dug through this (and made a mess on the table) looking for the yogurt only to be met with more rice. When we finally asked the waitress, she was very confused and said there is no yogurt in this dish. When I pointed to the menu, she didn't really know what to say and just emphasized that there isn't supposed to be any yogurt in it. Well, now we know! I googled this afterwards and it does look like it is served on new year but it's not really a dessert, just a (mildly) sweet rice dish. The food can be a hit or miss experience, but that's part of the fun - they're definitely consistent, though, so I would recommend the fried momos, the tsam-tsuk, the smoked pork belly, the mung bean appetizer, and the drinks. Can't wait to try more!
