Came here for their lunch buffet. We liked it so much we invited friends for dinner. Very good Samosa, Yak Momo and Chicken Tikka Marsala. The most pleasant surprise was how tender and juicy the Tandoori Chicken was. Very good service.

Excellent Tibetan food and well worth the price. Yak Momo and Veggie Momo is great. There are the typical Indian like dishes and the special Tibetan / Nepalese dishes. Service is pretty good and we went with a party of 9 for a family reunion. Eat here regularly, food is always great - at a great price. Definitely recommend it.

We took a large family party on a Monday night. They accommodated us quickly. The service was a little slow, but they are a family operation with a small family. The waiter was very helpful once he had time to take our order. The food was excellent and was shared by all.

Food is quite tasty. The spicy vindaloo wasn’t THAT spicy. Very much like Indian food, so we ordered as many things as we couldn’t recognize as we could. The Yak is quite good.
