Tibet Café and Bar in Toronto

Tried Momos, Veg Chowmein and Veg Fried rice. It was yumm Loved it. Must try !!

Amazing atmosphere and Vibe. Delicious and authentic Food Food

Their signature Momo dish with the Cajun was

I had never tried momos before, but I highly recommend this place! From the design to the vibe, everything is great, and the sauces are delicious.

I visited yesterday (Monday) and it wasn t busy. I tried both the veg and chicken momos. The chicken momos were really delicious, especially with their hot sauce, while the veg momos were decent. The service was a bit slow, but overall, it was a good experience. This restaurant is located in Kensington Market, so expect it to be busy on weekends. You can park in a Green P or another public parking lot. The washrooms are downstairs and quite small. Vegetarian options: Most of the items in the menu are available as Veg options too. Parking: Paid parking lot available nearby. Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible.

A recent favorite dining experience. Thoughtful, culturally enlightening, with a taste of 3 different Momo and butter tea. I met the owner (and Mom), and her son and we had a chat which I thoroughly enjoyed. The son shared some Tibetan food cultural traditions - like preserving life where historically there was a preference for butchering a (large) cow versus several (small) chickens - so you were more likely to see Momo made with large animals like Cow, Yak, etc versus chicken momo or others made with small animals. Sanctity of life! The son and mum also shared how they preserve their culture here through events - on Wednesday evenings, a tribute to the Dalai lama. Families and friends, and Tibetans who follow the Dalai lamas philosophies gather in community spaces to be together, dancing, singing, eating and more. They also shared a YouTube video - they have a little TV at the bar where I sat. I learnt about their naming traditions too. I enjoyed the cultural education as much, if not more than the food. I liked the butter tea, a touch salty, with a bit of body. I enjoyed the Momo as well Vegetarian options: I had a vegetarian momo

Came here with my cousin a couple of weeks ago. I never tried Tibetan food before so I was curious about what it was all about. Every dish I tried was fresh and flavourful. I especially liked the cajun chilli momos and find myself thinking about them from time to time. Service was friendly and the place has a chill vibe. Definitely gonna come back next time Im in the area.

Authentic Tibetan Food

Food was good, both in quality & quantity. The steamed momos were very close to those that I have had amongst Tibetian families & eateries in Indian Himalayas. But, the icing on the cake was the Chicken Thupka that was better.

Best Pad Thai in Toronto

It was really good. The service was fast and the staff were smiling.

The chicken momo dumplings are excellent 100/10. The atmosphere and service are perfect, the soups are excellent and we were very surprised by their delicious mango and strawberry smoothies.

Had some delicious samosas and lemonade here . Generous portion for the price. The staff were very friendly too.

Not good or bad. Only went there based on the reviews and wanting to try out Tibetan food. Also not fond of the extra charge for using credit card.

Definitely one of the best fried rice Ive ever had. Momo was awesome too. Their sauce is ! Will be going back to try their steamed momo.

Rude and un-inviting. Asked to use a washroom( which you legally cannot refuse anywhere in Ontario). Was rudely told it was for paying customers only. If you had given me a minute I would have purchased a beverage and meal. Can t comment on the actual food sorry. June 30 2024 * Your reply to this is a sad excuse and from other reviews no surprise. you are also very incorrect as you are a tax paying business open to the public no? Guess not. Either way simple kindness goes a long way. I needed a safe place to take medication Also I walked out immediately as your bartender who addressed me with attitude. There was no sorry about it but that s okay we had a lovely dinner down the street with our friends.

Hands down the best hot and sour soup I have ever had. Service was amazing, the woman working suggested the soup as it was a rainy and cool day and she was so kind. Veg momos were so good, first time having them. 100% will be back soon!

Food was Amazing and Authentic, and super tasty. Felt like it was cooked with passion. Well worth the visit.

My favourite soup :+)

10/10 Tibetan soup is amazing!

I had the Pad Thai and vegetable momos. Both were so delicious. I could live off of the momos alone. The seasoning on the Pad Thai was perfect, I didnt have to ask for any chili oil. Also, the sangria was tasty!

Great food and service

Absolutely delicious food and amazing staff! Very attentive and kind, tenzin offered suggestions for what to get and was very amazing!

The hot and sour soup with hand-pulled noodles was amazing!! Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options with tofu. Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options (for example: the hot and sour soup).

mango smoothie was amazing and we also really enjoyed the momo s!

Amazing strawberry banana smoothie and great service :)

Honestly kinda a mid experience as a restaurant. The food was alright. But the vibe was not it.

Amazing spot! The food is great and our server, Tenzin, gave the best recommendations and really cares about the food and your experience.

Subpar momos and overpriced. Go to Queen west for better momos.

Bad staff behavior

The food, the people. Family run and consistent beyond words. Vegetarian options: Vegan friendly. Great for spice lovers.

Honest my opinion one of theeeeee bezzzt reseruntaghhazzzz on EARTH PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL THANKS Food

Every time I go to Toronto I make sure to make it to Tibet cafe for their soup and momos!!! The staff is always so happy and helpful!! The food is fantastic and so fresh!!! Vegetarian options: Theres not a TON of vegan options but they help customize things and the options they do have are AMAZING

Great food and atmosphere

Love the food here! Best Tibet food with variety and unique of flavours. Great service and will recommend!

This place was AMAZING! I ve never had Tibet food and our waitress really took care of us. She suggested everything we should try and it was truly amazing. The location is really great, it s in Kensington Market and a lot of fun.

Always tasty Momos and a vegetarian hot and sour soup! We always eat here before the solstice parade.

Amazing Momos (dumplings) and friendly staff.

Amazing food and Host! Loved the flavour of their food.

I m a regular and have been since 2018 and the food is consistently delicious. The vegetarian momos (steamed) are my favourite made fresh in house, shell is thick but not too thick, filling is flavourful and hot, and it comes with a simple side salad of crunchy lettuce and fresh tomatoes plus (actually) spicy dipping sauce. The other dishes on the menu are equally heartwarming and delicious and the family that owns and operates the restaurant are so kind and welcoming and provide excellent service all year around. Must visit!

Omg delicious! Highly recommended!

Space is small, had to walk to the bartender/cashier to get order and pay the bill even though they set it up like a table service restaurant. Momo was good, butter tea took some time to get used to it, thenthuk soup taste good, but I dont think its truly considered authentic because I doubt Tibet use pineapple in their soup.

Legendary. Feels and tastes like home.

We got the avocado smoothie and it was very poorly made. Not sweet or creamy at all. Instead there was a bit of bitterness in it.

Fantastic staff who care about their customers regardless of your origin.

OMG ! I usually don t write reviews but this place is a hidden gem ! We got veg momos , beef momos , veg hot and sour soup, veg chow mein , chilly chicken and tingmo. Everything was brilliant ! It hit the spot. So so good , reminded me of Delhi ! Definitely going to order again !!

Had some hot and tasty steamed momos, all three kinds were fantastic! And the butter tea was a nice new discovery!

An amazing little spot in Kensington!!! MUST DO !! This is a mother-son duo who serve up the most delicious food ever !!! Soulful meals with flavours that explode on your tongue! We tried the beef dumplings, hot and spicy beef soup and pork chilli ! We enjoyed and stuffed ourselves to the point of gluttony! If youre in Kensington, YOU HAVE TO VISIT THIS LITTLE EATERY !!

Great quality and wonderful taste: 5 out of 5

Decent food however place is a bit dusty and washroom is grimy.. Server was friendly though

Took long to serve our order. Taste was fine but didn t give a fresh vibe. +1 star for the presentation.

Simple family owned restaurant at the heart of Kensington market. Veggie soup was very flavourful and their smoothie is very fairly priced too

Everytime I come to Toronto I always come here. The owners are wonderful. Food is great and cozy homey atmosphere amidst the bustling city Dietary restrictions: Gluten free food

Very cute place. Good food. The staff were very friendly and prompt.

Thèse momos - Deep fried signature cajun chili momos were amazing. Best momos i ever had. The chowmein was okayish.

I ve never tried Tibetan momos before but I m glad my first ones were from this lovely café right in the heart of Kensington market in Toronto, Ontario. The food that we had was very flavourful and was deliciously spicy. We found the staff to be lovely too. As it was low season and the middle of the week, we were the only ones there at the time. Tibet Café is definitely worth the visit if you re in the area!

Excellent Tibetan food. We had Cajun Chilli Chicken Momo, Chicken Pad Thai, and Chicken steamed Momo. Food was great, bit on spicy side. I am happy with spice level, buy my wife found it high.

Did not know this little gem existed! The momos here are exactly like the momos we got back home. Really made me happy and less homesick. I think it s a family owned and operated joint - each person working there is very sweet.

I highly recommend you visit Tibet Cafe & Bar which is a small family run restaurant. They specialize in Tibetan cuisine, including delicious momos and butter tea. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The momos are handmade with various fillings like beef, chicken, or vegetarian options, and they are delicious, juicy and have an authentic taste. As for the butter tea, it is a traditional Tibetan drink made with tea leaves, butter, and salt. It has a unique flavor that may be an acquired taste, but its worth trying if youre interested in experiencing Tibetan culture through their cuisine. Their butter tea is very good and I enjoyed it. Tibet Cafe is located in Kensington Market in Toronto and has received positive reviews for its friendly service and authentic Tibetan food. Its a special gem. Check it out next time your in the Kensington area.

Ordered the steamed chicken momos for take out. The ordered was fulfilled within 5 minutes. Great tasting food and friendly service.

This place is the best. Amazing momos and soups. Incredible service. Highly recommend!

The Pad Thai was really delicious. The restaurant looks cozy, nothing fancy, but the atmosphere is amazing. They are super friendly; it feels like you are gathering at a friend s house. The service is above and beyond, making you feel at home. Will definitely come back!

Thought the filling of the momos were a little bit on the blander side but the wrapper was wonderful and tasted homemade rather than the plasticky wrapper used in other momo spots. The vibes were great and I d definitely revisit on a night out for some beers and momos

We had the steamed beef momos and the soup that was broth with dumplings, I cant remember the name of it, something like Montuk. Everything was incredible and tasted hand made. The food was so satisfying and well definitely be back! They also had really great art on the walls!

Great food, great ambience, a little Kensington Market hidden gem

By far the best momos in the GTA ! Please ask for Tanzin!!

I love this place! The best momos in town! Their food is delicious and authentic. They also offer zero-waste takeout via Inwit!

I tried their appetizer fried momos recently and they were absolutely delicious. And their prices are also budget-friendly. Definitely going to visit again soon!

Such a fantastic spot. Been coming here for years. Best Tibetan momos in town. Hot and sour soup is amazing too

I previously left a review years ago and loved the beef momos, chicken were ok and their hottest hot sauce was salty. Ive continued to visit here from time to time to order their beef momos. Mar 2022: On this most recent visit had the steamed beef momos as usual which are always excellent and a great value with how filling they are. We also ordered the fried cajun chili chicken momos for the first time, forgetting I previously didnt love the chicken but they were actually quite good, however the sauce they were cooked in is another story. Similar to my first visit years ago when i asked for their hottest sauce, it was extremely salty, but this time to the point it was a struggle to finish them. Im not sure if it is the same sauce or a different one, but either way the salt needs to be toned down a lot since destroys the dish which has very good flavour otherwise.

Best Tibetan food in Toronto

Absolutely top class food. You must try the Momos there.

This place is insanely good. The complex flavours of the Chili chicken with the House Special Tibetan momo soup was a delightful surprise. Make sure to get the chilli chicken done dry with gravy on the side. The pan fried momos were also notable and worth ordering if you have a big enough appetite. Otherwise, I would highly recommend ordering the Chili chicken and special momo soup if you re looking for a flavour explosion party in your mouth.

Momos

Can t go wrong with this place, such authentic food. Definitely try their Cajun momos!

Loved the momos and Tibetan bun. The hyped tofu pad Thai & chili chicken weren t that great. I expected more authentic flavours.

Omg their hot and sour noodle soup was nothing like ive ever tasted! It was delish! It was also huge.

I went with there with my girlfriend where we had one of the best momos we ever had the stuff was extremely nice and helpful and very good at giving us a prop recommendations for what we want to try and help spicy the food is. They also have an amazing backyard area really cozy where we play darts after we have the food which was a really nice and I would highly recommend this place for anybody who wants to chill and have a great day especially in the summertime

Great place.

Found this place on Google Maps and it did not disappoint. Plenty of options for vegetarians/pescatarians. The sangria was amazing and so was the food! We got veggie momos, shrimp pad thai, and chicken wings. I wish we lived nearby! I would definitely visit again.

Nice taste, must visit place.

Was really excited to try this place out due to the highly positive reviews. We were highly disappointed in the quality of the food. We ordered the chicken pad thai and it was extremely bland. The noodles were basic spaghetti noodles and it was dry about time it came out to the table. We didnt receive our drinks until the end of the night afterwards as well.

Its a hidden gem in Kensington Market. Their food is amazing, and the service is quick. A must try if youre in the area..

just had a meal here, chicken Momo , thupka and Tenthuk. everything was absolutely delicious! Enjoyed the laid back atmosphere, wait staff was professional and food was A++. Recommended for anyone whos in KM Vegetarian options: they have vegetarian options for many of their dishes

Love this local gem. You must try their butter tea, which is a traditional tea in Tibet. The calorie dense drink helps with the high altitude weather. Their signature beef and vegetarian momos are also super yummy. Can t wait to come back to this very cozy cafe.

Momos

One of the best places to eat, cozy vibes and great food. Limited menu and delicious food. Must visit if youre craving for momos or wanna have a good hot bowl of soup.

Best Momos in GTA

Love the vibe & energy of this place - takes me back to the quaint Tibetan cafes & restaurants in India. We were a group of four and tried the spicy noodles, momos and the butter tea. Everything was flavourful and authentic. The service was good and the staff were friendly.

Mom and pop restuarant with a variety of Tibetan and Asian cuisines. Friendly wait staff. Lots of seating both front, back, and inside. I had the Mokthuk soup, which had a egg drop like soupbase with plenty of veggies and surprises of pineapple. Can have the option of chicken and beef in the soup. Very large portion of soup, tasty and had bites of Momo skin. Food mate had the Thukpa soup which had beef dumplings in a clear soup with tomatoes and veggies. Also had the veggie Momos, which were tasty, spiced well, dipping sauce a little spicy, thus be careful. Would get again. Cost: $12-15 per dish. Overall: Reasonably priced Tibetan restuarant with tasty Momos. Be aware on Fridays the establishment across the street has karaoke Fridays outdoors, thus can be loud close to the front of restuarant, but plenty of seating in the back.

The vibe, the food, everything was amazing and authentic. Will definitely be back

Friggin amazing! Great patio seats, ambiance, authentic food, left feeling satisfied and happy. Would definitely come again for their other dishes. I got their beef momo, hot and sour soup and chilli chicken with beer

Fast and courteous service. It was our first time tasting Tibetan cuisine, and it was delicious! Momos are an exotic and exceptional dish that is worth discovering! The soup was also very good. Steamed bread too. We really really liked this restaurant. To try if you are in this area!

Good Momos, Average Chilly Chicken.

The spice is on point and the decor/vibe is so nice. Definitely dropping by again when at the market.

I had veg Spring Roll here for 8 bucks. It was fresh, crunchy. I really loved the hospitality of Tenzin. He also helped me with bus and train timings.

Great food, wonderful atmosphere and friendly owners.

Amazing chicken momos with some awesome hot sauce and a salad. 8 pieces of momos are generously stuffed with spicy minced chicken. Eat is hot when it s steaming!

Great beverages

The momo were ok. Its was nice but I wouldnt crave to have momos here. I tried chicken soup (chefs special). Initially it was very bland so we asked them to make it a bit spicy. Gosh the whole dish changed. It was so sooo good. Would def come back for that soup alone. The service very nice as well.

Great spot! Nice patio, great eats, friendly service.

Love their pad Thai and Momos. Service is little slow but the quality is great !!!! Definitely recommend to go here !!

I ate there twice within 2 days. I loved the hot and sour soup! My friend had the pad thai and some chicken momos which he said were delicious. Very reasonably priced and great quality food.

Amazing

Love their Cajun fried momo.

Food was 5 stars (especially the mango smoothie, spicy Cajun chicken momos & beef noodle soup) - can t find the names as me u was updated, service was good, but atmosphere was not very pleasant.

Great food, great people we go regularly

On a rainy day while walking in the Kensington street, I stopped by this Tibet Cafe and ordered chicken steamed momos. A plate of momos should cost you $10 and youll get 8 pieces and some salad. The momos were very juicy and tasty, the chilli dip was too the point and I was satisfied with the quality and quantity served. I would highly recommend this place to people who crave for Momos. The ambience is also super amazing for both inside and our door sitting.

Very low key. Food taste was more on aunthentic, home cooked style compared to other Tibetan/Hakka places. Ambience and serving quantity could be better.

Very friendly staff. Ordered vegan momos for take-out. They were good, but I prefer Karma s Kitchen momos better.

One of my favorite restaurants close to Kensington market. The food is always great and the service is quick. Look out for the tasty butter tea

Tried their Momo and a smoothie, both of which were very delicious. The service was polite but hard to find - it was between the lunch and dinner rush, and I believe our server was also keeping the bar. Not that big a deal, but I wouldnt go here if in a hurry.

Love this place!

Awesome momos

Best place to get Momo come here often

Absolutely DELICIOUS food, kind service, warm environment. The momos are the bomb, and the soups are incredible!

very bad service, food 2/10

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, patio open in summer. Staff is SO friendly and kind. Note that bathrooms not wheelchair-accessible. Favourite place in Kensington, any time of day!

Best momos in Toronto! Not kidding when I say it as I love trying momos everywhere I go and hands down these guys make the best steamed and kothe momos!

Great food and friendly staff!

Big portions good food

Some of the nicest momos available here, keep up the taste

Loved the food & vibe! The bartender was very casual and smooth.

Love the food love the folks but if you order for delivery or pick up MAKE SURE YOU TELL HER TO ADD THE SAUCE!

I was craving for momos from so long and then I was recommended to visit this place. Tibet cafe serves probably the best momos ever. The real taste and fulfilling quantity is just amazing. It has a very small entrance and the corner of the street. The staff here is so nice and friendly. The restaurant itself is small but the music that is played here makes you feel relaxed. The serving is quick and appealing to your eyes. Loved this place !!!

Owned and operated by a wonderful Tibetan family. Their soup is incredible. One of my favourite spots in the market.

Very disappointed. Order the spicy tofu pad thai off Foodora and was very excited to try it based of all the positive reviews. When I received it i was very much let down. The tofu is soggy and has 0 flavour, and the noodles taste like they were tossed in Franks Red Hot and then drained of any moisture. Wont make the same mistake again.

Amazing veggie Momos! Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Dont forget the patio in the back in the summer.

I have tried different places and it s the place where I have found one of the best soups ever!!!

Cute little cafe. Good veggie breakfast sandwich offered all day. Great place for a snack before heading to the comedy club next door.

Loved the place.. its nice to have a cozy cafe nearby.. mango smoothie is to die for...

Best momos and ting bo ! And the sweetest staff

The Momo dumpings were awesome. Cute little place to visit.

Love the ramen and the momo!

Love the atomsphere here, true Tibetan love from moms perfect food platters, very popular with the locals

Nice tibetan cafe with tea/coffee, drinks, and some snacks, popular dishes. The place is slow paced and good for chilling/ spending some time.

A hidden gem!

Best Momos in Toronto

We visited this place around 10-10.30 PM. They were almost done for the day but were kind enough to attend to us. Despite the fact that the floor was mopped and the place quite packed up, they let us use the loo. Their chicken fried momos are really nice and crispy! The red sauce that comes with it is mildly spicy. The potion size is great!

great momos, fried ones were better than steamed

They know how to prepare food and provide service so you wont be disappointed. You will have menu from nepalese to thai and italian along with choices in drinks. The sauce for momo needs lot of improvement. Hope to c the change next time.

My go to place for amazing momos and cold beer. Great prices.

We ordered chilly chicken via Uber eats, to our surprise we received a half empty container of food. When pointed out to the restaurant owner, she blames the Uber driver that he must have eaten .. wow, really. The Uber delivery came on a bicycle and made it barely within 15 minutes. When pointed out that driver wouldn t have time to even open the container in these 15 minutes ride, she continued to say, she packed it full and the driver did it. Wow, please take responsibility but don t blame an innocent driver for no fault of his.

Awesome dumplings and fried noodles. Both the dumplings steamed and fried were too good. The pork dish was good too. It s a very small place around the corner with a small patio as well but the food was very good. It s not a fine dine in but definitely a place for food lovers if you love Tibetan foods. Worth a try for sure. The freshly squeezed apple juice is really something I liked considering it s really healthy and unaltered in any way. I wish they would have sone more place inside but that should not stop anybody give it a try.

BEST MOMOs in the city for a good price. Must try these at least once.

Been going here for years try the pad Thai

Good Tibetan food, descent ambience.

Best (dry type) pad Thai Ive ever had. Been going here for years and its still my favourite go-to!

Delicious.

Family run dumpling place. Mouth watering momos and spring rolls. Did not like the veggie soup. Yummy lip smacking hot sauce. Will visit again

Delicious Momos that I long craved for. Staff is nice and friendly as well. Get the hot sauce its really unique and good heart to it. Highly recommended!

Its really a very nice place, but its based on real food that isnt very funny. Serving very poor quality food that we do not find flavor. We ask for a menu, the price is very good but the food is worthless. We think we lost money for nothing. We will not return again. There are a lot of places that serve Asian food in better quality.

Smoothies and Momo!!!!

Friendly owners and the best Tibetan food ever

We drove all the way from Scarborough on a weekday evening to this place. But the traffic and time was worth it. A small family run business. Their food is definitely traditional. Tried vegetarian Momos both steamed and fried. Definitely try fried ones, and the sauce that comes with Momos is just out of this world. And of course the soup, it is a complete meal in itself. We ordered Thai hot and sour vegetarian soup, definitely different from the regular Thai eateries. A must go if you are a Momos lover. Looking forward for our next visit.

Fantastic smoothies made with fresh fruits.

My girlfriend got diarrhea from this place and I have the food poisoning sweats. Ordered the Pad Thai, Momos and Hot and Spicy Soup.

The restro is pretty decent. The service is kind of slow but they serve authentic food.

Beef deep fried momos are great, as are fresh juices. The place is a regular favourite of mine. All is good and owners are nice.

Cozy and family-owned, Ive been coming here for years for their gluten-free pad Thai. Ive brought countless friends and visitors here. Their pad Thai is unbeatable.

Local place, super low key... I love momos and it cured my fix.

Great place for a hot drink. The service is fantastic!

one of the best home made food

Good momos and good beer choices
