We stopped by Garleek Kitchen in Parkdale on our way to High Park after I saw it recommended on social media and decided to give it a try. (Side note: it's unfortunate to see how much homelessness there currently is in Parkdale.) The food here was phenomenal. We don't eat Tibetan food often, but everything was awesome. I highly recommend the Tibetan breakfast--at around $10, you get an incredible amount of food and variety. If you've never tried Tibetan food before, this spot is definitely worth a visit! read more

When I am in Parkdale, I cannot resist having a new momo experience! There are endless momo places to try, some are popular and often mentioned in all sorts of media. Others are hidden tiny places which I find by chance. Still others are somewhere in between - not extensively spoken about in the media, but there are people who spread the words among momo lovers - like Garleek Kitchen. I was excited to visit here for the first time. As I was in a hurry between work-related meetings, I did take-out the following momos: I tried: - Steamed Chicken Momos - Pan-fried Beef Momos I liked Pan-fried beef momos as it had good amount of juice inside. Chicken steamed momos were a bit drier with less juice. The wrappers were beautifully sealing the filling, chewy and flavorful, perfectly cooked. The pan-fried one was gives the momo a nice extra crispy texture on the bottom. Just wished there was more fillings - momo felt a bit doughy for the amount of filling, especially the steamed chicken momos. I was impressed by the sauces that came with momo. Carefully prepared with multi-dimensional flavor & texture & spice profiles. Something that is not easily found in any other momo places. This place's side sauces are one of the most enjoyable things here. The service was pleasant, caring and homey - which is what I enjoy most in the Parkdale momo central. I will come back to try their other momo styles! read more

Having tried a couple of different Tibetan and Nepalese restaurants in Toronto's Little Tibet, Garleek Kitchen has become my favourite for the following reasons: 1) Depite the restaurant having a simple and humble appearance, the food tastes great, healthy, fresh, and very delicious. 2) They can customize all their dishes to be non-spicy (especially the Kothu Roti). 3) Lots of vegetarian and vegan options 4) Very friendly and hospitable owner and chef 5) The menu is unique because not only does it serve Tibetan and Nepalese dishes, but it also serves Sri Lankan (Kothu Roti) and Vietnamese (Pho) dishes. 6) Their momos are some of the best in the city - big, juicy, nice chewy dumpling wrapper, and tasty fillings. (I can only speak to the vegetarian filling, but I'm sure the other momo varieties are great too.) 7) The restaurant name came from combining "garlic" and "leek", two ingredients that are used generously in almost all of the dishes (which make everything so flavourful and delicious!). 8) Affordable and good value for their portion size and quality of food 9) Talented chef who could cook dishes from various Asian countries, and make them taste authentic and home-cooked I tried the following dishes, and loved them all: 1) Vegetarian Thali (rice, dal (lentils), dum aloo (potato curry), pickles, mustard greens, tomato chutney, raita (yogurt), papadam) - The rice was nice and fluffy. My favourite was the dal (as always), followed by the mustard greens (wish they included more of it in the thali) and raita. The papadam was a bit too oily for me, and not as crispy as some other papadams in other places. 2) Steamed Vegetarian Momos - As mentioned above: one of the best places for momos in the city. Loved the chewy outer wrapper and delicous veggie fillings. 3) Vegetarian Kothu Roti - I had been wanting to try this popular Sri Lankan street food for some time, so I was glad that they had this on the menu. It was big, heavy, and hearty dish. They were able to customize it to make it non-spicy, which I greatly appreciated. 4) Garlic & Ginger Shrimps (with rice and vegetables) - The sauce was flavourful and great on the rice. They gave a pretty good amount of shrimps and stir-fried vegetables (cabbage and carrots). A very well-rounded dish. read more

If there is one spot in Toronto that represents diversity in Asian food, it is Garleek kitchen. This is the perfect place you need to visit for Asian heritage month. Why? Very few restaurants are out there that serve dishes from Nepal, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and incorporate Chinese influences. It's amazing to have dishes like dhindo, pho and kothu roti all under one roof. I absolutely love the mutton curry and chili momos here. Very flavourful and perfect for sharing. This is a place that is humble, warm and comforting. Perfect for a cozy night in and authentic as it can get. It also doesn't break the bank and is located in one of the most diverse neighbourhoods, Parkdale/ Little Tibet. I know this is going to be one of those spots I go in regularly for a little dose of comfort and hearty goodness. This is definitely a spot you need to go to experience a range of delicious Asian cuisine. read more

We wanted to try Tibetan food, and chose this based on the poster at the front of the store, which had a cute little story that I think would be worth while For anyone to read about the chef. I ordered the breakfast combo which came with a bland chickpea curry, excellent hot sauce/salsa,l that I secretly wished they would sell out of jars for us to take home, and a potatoe curry that was perfectly seasoned, and a small slaw I think for decoration. The bread that it came with was delicious, perfectly light fluffy and fried. The second dish was the mutton kothu roti, which is a Sri Lankan cuisine, and for not really taste anything like the traditional one I was expecting, it was actually a really interesting taste that I really think would be a cross between a fried Asian noodle dish using mutton pieces and a type of paratha roti. I enjoyed this dish very much. Of course when your at a Tibetan restaurant you need to get momos, and we did! We ordered the fried chili beef momos, which I could t take a picture of cause my hands were drenched in grease from eating the other two dishes. This dish I felt was very heavy, as we ordered fried momos, I would have liked the boiled, but my dining partner really wanted to trey friend. The dumplings were sitting in chilie oil, and was topped with I think an onion sauce, I could t really tell. This dish was something I really think I would Have enjoyed more had it not been fried so we will give it another go that way, but the filling was excellent! The staff were exceptional, the restaurant was clean, there were several options and a secret mwnu. This place is loved by the locals, we had the pleasure of chatting with one while we were waiting for our food to come, which said it doesn't matter what you order it's always good. And I think he was mostly right. read more

Being from Vancouver, I have had limited exposure to Tibetan/Nepalese food, which is a shame because it tastes amazing! The momos and other dishes have an amazing blend of East Asian and South Asian that I think is extremely unique. A blending together of the best the world has to offer in terms of food. No other part of the world has anything that could even come close in terms of taste. I look forward to going here again for dine-in when the pandemic is over. read more

This was such a mediocre experience compared to what we were expecting. We ordered chow mein noodles and chicken curry via door dash. The noodles was smelling of oil and the chicken curry was just ok. The best part was the tiny portion of hot sauce which was pretty spicy. Overall pretty disappointed and won't order from it. read more

The best Momo's are here at Garleek Kitchen located in Little Tibet or Parkdale. You can order the Momo's steamed or fried. The Momos are filled with Chicken. Beef and Veggie. I couldn't decide on which filling ....so Chef Karma asked if I wanted a mix with all the different types. It was amazing. Just be careful with the first bite since they will be very hot! I would definitely order from this read more

I was reading all the good reviews so I knew I had to come to try their momos. My son is an avid fan of another establishment so I have to come without him. Definitely freshly made as you wait 10-15 minutes for them and the filling is tasty with a good amount of filling too. The wrappers are green as you know you're getting extra vegetables with them. Their hot sauce was decent. I think Tashi Delek has the best hot sauce so far. Though I do love the chili paste at Loga's (different than his hot sauce which is a bit hotter than Garleek's) I definitely want to come back to try more things. The khotu roti and thali are on my list. And eventually their beef momos too. The place was filled wIth Tibetans which is always a good sign. It's a small place but the energy is good and the food is terrific. Definitely a win-win Update: so I've been back twice now. So now I've tried 1. All 3 types of momos 2. Thentuk soup veggie but with beef both 3. Mutton curry 4. Kothu roti veggie Ok so the veggie momos are still the best thing I've had. The broth was great but lacking in veggies. The curry was very flavourful and worth getting again. The kothu Roti was very plain. Lacking in spice, we added hot sauce to it. And again lacking in veggies. It didn't need much but there was basically none. Still want to try the thali read more

Let's say we do that parking lot thing we all used to do "back in the day!" TL:DR - Great Restaurant, go get some! You know the one. You stand around in a circle...No...No...No... Not that Thing! Well...maybe after that thing when all of a sudden you are sooooo hungry, you'll eat a dirty street dog from a vending cart! Well...I digress. The parking lot convo is usually about where should we go to eat. Lots of ideas, then no matter what one person says, there's one that ends it by saying..."I'm not feeling it." Then the game starts over again! How about, Nepalese? Tibetan? Vietnamese? Indian? Sri Lankan?!? Murmurs die off and somehow there is interest in every category! People start dropping from pure hunger and other start to gnaw on trees and hunt small animals! What if I tell you that there is a place that does all those cuisine and pays full respect to each by creating excellent food. Welcome to Garleek Kitchen Asian Fusion Restaurant. A passionate chef and his charming wife opened up a winner in Little Tibet. Garleek, what were they thinking when they came up with that name? Well the story is actually pretty cool, especially when Chef Tsering Phuntsok took time out of his kitchen to answer my query on the name. Before Garleek, young Tsering was working in a factory and going to school to get his high school equivalent certificate. It was hard work and he befriended many people. One African man in particular would share his traditional meals with him. Tsering would prepare pork dishes, while his friend would prepare chicken. Simple foods with great flavour. Tsering revealed that he uses a lot of Garlic in his food preparations. After a little prodding, his friend told him that his secret ingredient was Leeks. Tsering said to himself....hmmmm.... Garlic and Leeks! Garleek! That will be what I will name my restaurant. And...that he did. Enter into the tiny shop and look up at the digital display. It will show food from many countries. As usual, a lot of food was ordered and equally enjoyed. Beef Chowmein, Aloo Dum, variety of Momos, Pho, and my personal favourite...Khotu Roti. Oh...Momos is their dumplings - in case you were trying to figure that one out (like I was - face palm). Oh my...Khotu Roti is basically taking Roti and shredding them into little bits and preparing them with vegetables and proteins. So basically a stirred fried noodle type dish but substitute roti in for the carbs. It was so delicious, I am thinking about it while writing this review....DroolZ!!! Please note that many places pre-fab the Momos. Not here. Ensure that you have plenty of time to order and wait -- worth every minute you invest. The freshly prepared and delicious dumplings will set you back 15mins for the order. Take your time. Savour each bite. BTW - each dish is priced at more than reasonable. Go try them all! As I mentioned in earlier reviews, I've been seeking out small and local biz that purvey new and amazing culinary treats. You also know that if a place delivers good food, service, and value -- it's the Trifecta!!!! It's a 5 Star Review. I've been giving out quite a bit of these gems lately. I'm willing to give out as many as I can because isn't it better to enjoy a 5 start at every meal, than hit a 1-star and ruin your night? Chef Tsering and Jenna (oh please...oh please...let me get her name right!) are fine people running a great spot in the "center of the universe" call the 6ix! I for one luv their place. Only if I can convince them to move to the 9ine, then I can have Momos everyday!!! :D CHEERS!!! read more

If you like intimate family run restaurants, Garleek Kitchen will definitely provide that cozy experience. The dining room consists of less than ten tables, and on a weekday visit, the entire operations was run by a single person - quite a feat to be host, waiter, and chef. To keep things simple, their menu is displayed on a television and cutlery & key condiments are found on the table. Meanwhile, most of the time, the proprietor is in the kitchen, making everything to order including the momos. These dumplings are the delicious pouches I remember most from past Tibetan meals. With the option to steam, pan fry, or deep fry the dumplings, we tried them two ways - pan-fried and steamed. The chicken pan-fried momos ($8.99) definitely hit the spot. The toasted crust adding a nice contrast compared to the soft top of the dumpling. While the nub in the middle of the dough was a bit too thick, the white meat chicken filling was juicy and savoury. So good the spicy dipping sauces weren't even required. They were needed for the steam vegetables momo ($7.99). While the chunky chili sauce added heat and extra flavour, the dumplings could still use more salt. Nevertheless, the filling consisted of an interesting combination of vegetables, which Garleek should consider leaving some less cooked (everything was rather soft) so the texture will vary. Nepalese chicken chow mein ($8.50) is made from thin chewy noodles cooked on a hot flattop so it develops a crust on some strands. Like Cantonese chow mein, there are the crispy and soft bits within the plate, but Garleek's is less oily and isn't topped with sauce allowing the noodles to remain crunchy. I loved the aromatic wok hay of the dish, but the chicken needs less time on the grill as it was overdone and dry. read more

Always love coming to Garleek. The portions are generous and the prices are dirt cheap. Usually I come here for their breakfast combo but their momos and other mains were great as well. Pro tip: ask for the momo hot sauce if you want fiery goodness but be careful! The hot sauce is extremely spicy read more

*Take-Out Review I've been absolutely taking advantage of UberEats during the pandemic and Garleek is one of my top places to order from! We ordered: 1. Beef Momos: Pan-fried half and steamed half. These are HUGE and delicious! They packed in a lot of beef so you're not only chewing on dough when you bite in. 2. Chicken Momos: Pan-fried. Also a 10/10 3. Beef Chow Mein: Love the amount of noodles they give. Noodles were firm and plentiful. Beef was made very similar to cha-shu which I love. 4. Shrimp Fried Rice: Appreciating how Garleek actually gives the proper amount of shrimp to make the name legitimate. So many other restaurants throw in 2-3 and call it a day. Note: ALL of the things we ordered are great to be reheated and eaten as lunch for leftovers the next day! Really good value for what you get. read more

We decided to do a quiet valentines day dinner and we chose Garleek Kitchen since my wife had been raving about the reviews. Even though my family is from South East Asia I have barely tried the cuisine from the region that goes beyond my country, so I was very excited to try cuisine from the our Himalayan neighbors. Located in the Little Tibet neighborhood of Parkdale, this restaurant is very unassuming. There's probably seating for just under 20 people and it was very busy on 8pm on a Thursday night even though the rest of the neighborhood was quiet. We ordered the Mixed Momo plate which was a mix of beef, chicken and vegetarian dumplings. I got the Chicken Thali and my wife got the Chicken Chowmein. These are all dishes that I am familiar with by name and sight because they share common elements with cuisine from Bangladesh but it's the taste and the spices that are so vividly different that I have to give my hat off to the chef. Highly recommend this place if you are willing to step out of your comfort zone and try something new from a very different part of the world. It's not the most visually appealing or filled with Instagram worthy decor, but the food is made out of love and perfected by skill and it really shows in the taste of the dishes. read more

I honestly didnt know what a Momo was before coming here. For simplicity you could think of it as a dumpling. But then the cooking style needs to be identified - which is cool because Garleek offers all 3 styles! There's deep fried, pan fried, and steamed! The textures drastically change but all 3 taste delicious. Whats great is the wrapping is made, flavored and done in house. They have a great selection of sauces, my personal favorite are the deep fried beef momos, but they have chicken and vegetarian as well. There's also classics like fried rice, noodles and Tibet Spinach Dip which is a great unique take on the classic. Service was incredible and the head chef took the time to greet us and say hi which was a nice touch. read more

Garleek is an unpretentious but cozy little restaurant. The chef told us the story of how the name "Garleek" came to be. Yup, it does have something to do with garlic and leek lol. Since I have never tried Tibetan tea before, I was delighted that they offered it on the menu. It tasted like tea with a bit if salt. The menu is also pretty diverse, ranging from Tibetan to Napalese to Indian food. My favorites were the momos and khotu roti. The momos were one of the bigger momos I have seen. And it was juicy and filling. The biggest surprise was the khotu roti for $10. It is essentially shredded bread. BUT they did magic to it so that it tasted like chinese ho fan to me. It was simply delicious!!!!! Service was super friendly no matter how busy they got. And I like how the chef would pop in and out to chat from time to time. Prices are very reasonable for the dishes. A definite must go back!!! read more

Need cheap eats in the Parkdale area? I've got the perfect spot for you hidden away in a small Fusion restaurant with some of the best Momo's I've ever had with equally as delicious homemade hot sauce you'll want to buy and take home. This place serves food from Napal, Vietnam, Tibet, India and Sri Lanka. It's a small shop that Chef Tsering Phuntsok and his Italian wife has opened up and you can tell that Tsering is passionate about his cooking and food and you can taste it in each dish that comes out. Tsering learned at a young age from his grandmother and was taught her secret recipes, later on joining a monastery where he mastered traditional Tibetan cuisine, then travelled to India and Nepal to learn their cuisines. The name of the restaurant comes from garlic and leek put together and if you want to hear the story about how it all came about, just ask the chef himself. I came with a group of 6 people and we devoured everything that came and was thoroughly impressed with the portions, the taste and the price of each dish. Favourites of the night included the Chowmein $8.50 with a choice of beef, chicken, pork or veggie, The Kothu Roti $10, I believe this dish was served with mutton and is basically stir fried shredded Roti, veggies, meat/egg and spices. We all really loved how unique the Kothu Roti dish was with yummy bits of crispy roti that gave it a nice texture that's different than anything I've ever had. Another group favourite was the Tibetan classic pan fried momos which came crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, but also not to be missed is the Thali and surprisingly flavourful Pho. This place offers Uber eats and Skip the Dishes delivery which I plan to take advantage of when I crave food from here. I do recommend having the pan fried momo's fresh as it would taste better. Hours of operations are from 8am-9pm daily which is amazing! The service is very attentive and friendly and the place is clean. read more

If you haven't been here before I highly recommend it! The staff are amazing, the food is deliscious and it's cheap! I sadly didn't know much about Nepalese and Tibetan food but now I'm a big fan. Get the kottu roti, it was my favorite! read more

I rarely make it to this area as I live on the other side of city, but I would make the trek again! It's a modest little restaurant located on Queen St. in Parkdale. The seating is pretty limited but my friend and I came early around 5-6pm. We ordered the veggie thali and veggie momos, and both were amazing! I haven't had any dishes like the thali before, I loved the selection that it comes with. My friend and I were sharing, and they gave us more than enough rice for the dish! We also got the veggie momos, which were the best I've ever had! The veggies inside tasted so fresh and delicious with the sauces. We also tried a Tibetan tea, which they put butter in and it was so unique! My friend said it was similar to a tea from her culture. The waiter was also so friendly! He checked up on us and asked if we needed extra rice. I saw some people getting their dishes to go or ordering from uber eats etc. I would love to come back and try their other dishes! read more

Favourites: Momos - Tibetan version of dumplings. There are 3 types for pick from: veggie, chicken or beef. The beef was my favourite! These little handmade momos are also served with their very own, home made hot sauce. Definitely should come with a warning sign - if you can't handle spicy I would stay away from the dip! With everything made from scratch you can taste the chewyness of the momo dough and the nice seasoned beef filling. Myothuk - another Tibetan dish. I totally get why this dish is a classic Tibetan comfort food. It's basically my favourite beef momos boiled in a homemade broth. read more

I was really excited to visit because I've seen some foodies come here before. The restaurant isn't that big, as it can probably fit maybe 20 seats, and can get pretty busy. We came at 3pm on Saturday and it was quite busy, but luckily we only had to wait around 15 minutes for a seat of 4. The menu is on the screen, and they offer a variety of food from different cultures, plus they offer a variety of vegan options too. After ordering, I was surprised how fast the plates came. - Chili Chicken ($8.99): This is Nepalese style chili chicken, so it does have a difference compared to Hakka style. However, the chicken was very flavorful, an tender. I really like the sauce they use as it made the chicken not be overpowered with spiciness, and more of a kick. - Mixed Momos with Chicken/Veggie/Beef pan fried ($8.99): A Tibetan special, which was one of my highlights. The skin was soft, but I loved how flavorful and tasty the fillings were. I also find it interesting to see the different way they wrapped the chicken momo vs. beef/veggie momos. My favorite was the beef momo! There are 10 momos in a plate. Also try the momos with the 2 sauces! - Chili Chicken Momos ($11.99): Basically a combination of their chili chicken wrapped as a dumpling. They had a kick as there was a sauce on top of them too, but overall delicious and worth a try. - Thali Mutton ($10): A very nice plate where you can try the difference sauces, and some have a kick in it. The mutton curry was very flavourful, plus the pieces of lamb were very tender. You finish it off with a yogurt if your mouth is on fire haha. - Mango Lassi ($3.50): Very refreshing, and so smooth. It's made with their in house made yogurt so you also get probiotics! The owner was serving us, and I got to talk with him for a bit. I can definitely tell he is passionate about the food he serves, and is always willing to change things up to fit different taste palettes. He was very nice, and answered any questions we had. Definitely enjoyed our time and I recommend coming! Even though the decor and food isn't insta-worthy, it makes up for the taste! read more

Restaurant was a bit warm, but the door was wide open and let in a bit of a breeze as we dove into our delicious dinner! Beef thali - tender chunks of beef accompanied by a selection of veggies that round out the meal. Dhal was a bit blander but the salsa had a good spicy kick and the mustard greens (it is bitter) and potatoes really hit the spot. Chicken momos (Team cilantro!) - homemade goodness all wrapped up! Even the dough wrappers are homemade and you can tell as they're a little uneven but adds character to each bit. They are a bit more dense than I'm use too but who cares when there is secret sauce! Mix the two sauces and BAM...your taste buds will thank you! Khoto Roti - stir fried roti! Everything just tasted so good and aromatic! It does have a good kick so if you're more shy with the spices please let them know as the green chillies really shine through! Friendly and quick service! My tummy and my wallet thanks me read more

Stopped by Gerleek because it was new in the area and wanted to check it out. First thing you notice is prices are great. For example: $6.99 + tax for a dinner special which is curry, rice and bread, and a drink. I got the chicken curry. The curry was delicious, tons of flavor to it. Lots of pieces of meat. The chicken is bony, but I have no issues chewing meat off bones. If you do, the beef might be a better option. The bread and rice were large portions, and I was stuffed after the meal. If the meat was a little less bony I'd give this a full five stars. But the guy is very up front about this, and for the price Its still a deal. This is a great spot for a quick, inexpensive, and delicious dinner. read more

Garleek Kitchen is a small Tibetan restaurant in the heart of Parkdale, on Queen Street, close to Jamieson Ave. Its compact menu has interesting offerings from Nepalese, Tibetan, Vietnamese, Indian and Sri Lankan cuisines. On our first visit, my spouse and I ordered mutton Khoto Roti and Veggie Chowmein. Khoto Roti is basically shredded roti stir fried with vegetables and choice of meat, which in my case was mutton. The dish was tasty and I could really taste the distinct flavor of mutton. The veggie chowmein was good and tasty as well. On our second visit, we started the meal with an order of pan fried momos, half chicken and half veggie. The chicken momos were very nice, flavorful, good texture, and went really well with the two sauces accompanying the plate. My spouse reported that the veggie momos were soggy and tasteless. For my main I ordered the mutton thali; the mutton tasted good, but there was too much bone for too little meat; the remainder of the thali also felt a bit anemic in terms of quantity of food. My spouse ordered the veggie chowmein again, and unfortunately this time it was burnt in places - probably sat too long without being stirred at some point during the cooking process - and did not taste good. Prices were good. Service was friendly during both visits, but better in the first one. Parking is available on Queen Street. Easy access by TTC streetcars along Queen Street as well. read more

The food was good but the service was slow. It took about 20-25 minutes to get the food. The ambience was below expectations.

The perfect cheap and cheerful (emphasis on the cheerful*) meal. My partner and I stopped in here last week for a quick plate of momos and had a quick and tasty meal paired with delightful service. He had the beef, I had the veg. Both were really good, though mine won pretty points for being wrapped in green spinach dough. Both came out in under 15 mins. Add on a $1.50 chai with free refills and we were sitting pretty. *Our server was so genuinely sweet and enthusiastic about the business, the customers, etc., and super attentive. read more

Wonderful restaurant owned by wonderful owners! Run, don't walk to get here because the food is absolutely the bomb.com and the service is fantastic. Do yourself a favor and get the chow mein, momos, lamb curry and some puri and you will be in heaven! Honestly I didn't know what Tibetan food was until I came here but I know what it is now: YUMMY! Similar to Hakka and Chinese-Indo fusion, Tibetan food is comforting, delicious, and filling. Oh by the way this place is insanely affordable so bring your friends and family because I was shocked at the amazing prices. A++ experience read more

Food: love the flavours! Portions were a bit on the smaller size but still satisfying to eat! The pickles and spices were amazing and on point for heat and flavour. Service: so nice! Very friendly and smiling and explained the dishes. Locals come and go out of the restaurant and it feels like a family kitchen. Seems like the regulars enjoy this place too. The place is small but well kept. Parking is quite tough but right on queen st. So walkable. I'm glad we just happened to "stop in" and try out the food! read more

Amazing! I had 5 chicken and 5 beef Momo. I loved the food, and the woman was sooo nice. And the prices are great. $7.99 for 10 Momo! They make the Momo fresh, unlike at Loga's Corner, where they just make it ahead of time and leave it in tin foil. And the guy at Loga's Corner is really rude, and leaves his smelly feet up on a chair (no joke) which will make you lose your appetite. Go here instead! read more
