Cafe Tibet

About

Presenting our traditional Tibetan foods in an American style without losing the authentic Tibetan food taste.

Description

Cafe Tibet's chef and owner is Samten. She was born in Tibet, but she grew up in India.

She ran a popular Tibetan restaurant, Shangri-La, in Dharamsala for 10 years before coming to U.S. in 1992.

Naturally, Samten began working in a restaurant business even after coming to the U.S.. She spent her first seven years in the U.S. working at the Stars restaurant in San Francisco before opening her own business in 1999.

Samten is a mother, a business owner, and a community server. Her presence at the restaurant adds a homey feel to the space, especially to our customers.

We hope you enjoy your visit and the dishes you order at Berkeley Café Tibet, http://www.cafetibetberkeley.com/.

Thank you.

Reviews
This place is spectacular. We got the eggplant chip appetizer, salmon momo, and gluten free sweet potato noodles. The eggplant chips were warm fritters with delicious eggplant inside and topped with wonderful spices but not spicy. The Momos were tasty too, but the star of our dinner show was the GF sweet potato noodles with chicken. This was like pad Thai, only a million times better. I’ve walked past this place numerous times and I’m so happy we stopped in today. I’ve been to most restaurants in Berkeley, and this is my new favorite. It’s also beautifully decorated, unpretentious, and the service was great. Thanks for a wonderful meal!
Rare to see such great vegetarian options! Loved the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant. The owners were very attentive and it was clear that they put a lot of care into the meal. The dumplings I ordered were full of flavor. I found myself savoring every bite. I was a little disappointed when I finished my entire plate because I knew I wanted more. The portion was perfect though and I managed to fill up and feel great and energized after the meal. Highly recommend!
We ordered the noodle soup and momo soup and enjoyed them both. The broth is very flavorful. Also very reasonably priced. Service is quite slow, however, so just make sure you leave plenty of time for your meal.
Their food is good, but I don't know why there were small flying bugs when I had dinner with my friends, which was kind of annoying.
With 20 years of history, cafe Tibet is a true gem. The owners were super friendly and prepared the food with love. The atmosphere felt like home so don’t come to eat with a rush. Lentil soup was warm and comforting, and vegetarian momo soup was colorful with such a variety of vegetables. The melted cheese inside the momo was such a pleasant surprise.
Absolutely delicious, traditional and wonderful food. Different from the usual places and mediocre tastes. Dholooma Kamngoe is a breaded eggplant chips lightly deep fried snack. Very soft, different from usual fried stuff and awesome taste. You must check it out. Tsel-Khasa is a seasoned vegetables freely more like a Curry than a snack. Tingmo is a homemade steamed Tibean bread that is so delicious. Definitely not your usual bread for sure. The Momo's, Ngotsel Momo and Kar-sha Momo, are very good - a bit on the raw side - but if you are a fan them you just can't pass it up. The entry, Tofu with Mushroom and Spinach, is very good, tasty and not something that I ever had before. Ended up taking it home as well. The traditional desserts, Bhaktsa Marku and Dress, are not too sweet and very much for of fresh tastes all over. It is good to know they don't use powders, pre made or frozen items. They use every thing fresh and made by themselves from raw food materials - including the spices themselves. Very refreshing and mouthful of tastes is what we walked out with.
Cafe Tibet was absolutely delicious and also inexpensive - what else could I ask for? I got a flavorful bowl of momo soup and it was massive, I wish I included a spoon for scale in the photo. Go support this restaurant!
Great experience - super kind staff and good for those w allergies/restrictions. Food is healthy and affordable. Flavor feels more homey; not super strong.
This is an amazing place, a spiritual experience to eat here. The owner is also super nice. Highly recommended and I’ll come back for sure. Make sure to plan in advance and check the opening hour, because they only open in the evening.Dine in: YesTakeout: Yes
So looking from the outside and even once inside I was hesitant. To my surprise: the food was amazing.!! Spicy, fresh and hot.!! This will be now my low key go to place for a pick me up dish.
