White Rice and steamed bun
Karolina K.

We stopped there why passing through Boulder as they were one of the few inexpensive places that had vegan options and I never had Tibetan food so was looking forward for my dinner. We arrived and it was already dark outside but we still decided to eat on the patio as the chairs inside were put up as they would be closing and it was very cold with the AC. I wish they had more lights outside as we had to eat almost in full dark... Staff was very friendly and they recommended few dishes. I had the Tsel Shamu with sautéed mushroom and zucchini with rice and had to try their steamed dumpling (tingmo). The curry was ok, it tasted very similar to a Polish dish called leczo so I was a little disappointed as I really was expecting some new, exciting flavors. The stemmed bun was very good. My husband got the beef curry - Shaptak with rice and he said it also had a similar flavor to Polish dish but at least it was spicy. Beef was a little tough. We also split vegetable Momos and they were good but far too much garlic was inside. The only flavor you could taste was garlic. I love garlic but this was a little too much. The dipping sauce was good. I read other reviews that the noodles are very good so maybe we just ordered wrong items... The portion size was very big, we ate half and took the rest for next day.

Jhasa Sha Mo-Mo - Chicken Momo

I just moved to Boulder and this restaurant is so far my favorite one. Food is authentic and extraordinary delicious. The ambience of this place always feels welcoming, and staff is nice. This place is really worth it, prices are perfect and you get amazing food. I'm happy they have this place in Boulder.

Delicious Earthy Food EXCELLENT FRIENDLY & QUICK Service 3 Different Seating Areas (Front, Back & Patio) Right on Arapahoe & Folsom in Boulder

Lunch special (vegetarian)
Phoebe C.

Everyone who works here is so kind, the portions are very generous and the food is delicious. The picture I've added here is after I'd been eating (slowly) for 10 minutes! The chai is delicious and complimentary with the lunch special. Love love love Tibet kitchen

Momo sampler
Rayna Y.

Come for the momos and chai! This was one of my fave spots to go to while I was a grad student in Boulder. Their momos are made to order so call ahead or expect to wait a bit longer for them--it's worth it! I usually get the momo sampler so I can have some of each flavor (chicken, beef, vegetarian). I think the beef is my favorite, but they're all tasty, super filling, and great to share! I love the spicy chutney that it comes with. I've gotten the lunch special once or twice (you can pick from a variety of ready-made dishes) and it's a great deal. The momos alone are worth the trip though, and the complimentary chai is delicious. I loved coming here for some post-hike momos and chai on their outdoor patio--a moment of tranquility before returning to the hustle and bustle of student life. I miss this place!

Jhasa Shamdeh Chicken Curry
Melanie C.

First time trying Tibetan food and loved it! This little hole in a wall serves up killer dinner deals ($9) of delicious dishes like chicken curry and thentuk. Their momos are amazing and would be happy to come just for these! They also serve you complimentary hot chai while you are waiting. Service is self service/counter, takes about 15-20 min for food to come out and there is a couple indoor tables and a patio for dining. Would recommend for a delicious and cheap lunch/dinner!

This is the dinner special with Chicken Curry (main) and Garbanzo Beans (side)
Victoria K.

Tibet Kitchen is definitely a hole in the wall type of place. It's right off of Arapahoe and Folsom, and its really easy to miss! Be careful :) I have been here multiple times now and I'm still sitting at this same rating, because every single time I am here, it's the same. The Food: Dinner Special: it is an extremely great price for the amount of food you get (picture below) I got the chicken curry and garbanzo beans on side. The chicken curry is delicious, but could've used more spice. It tastes a bit watered down (this happened twice out of the 7 times I have ordered this) The garbanzo beans are DELICIOUS! Who knew this side would be so flavorful! It was a great addition. The rice is a bit dry, so definitely need to eat with something, not by itself. The best thing here are MOMO's! We have tried all three momos, and the best yet is the beef momo's. I suggest getting the momo sampler first to try all of them. Veggies are great momo's too! and the chicken can be a bit mushy. *They have a notice on the menu that the momo's are made to order and take 15 mins (this is a LIE). It takes about 20-30 mins depending on how busy, I once waited 37 mins (I counted because I was starving) The momo order comes in 8 and it may not seem like a meal or a lot of food, but it IS! So it is very filling and delicious. I have also tried the curry potato side and it was bland, not the greatest. It literally taste like watered spiced potatoes. Overall my rating for this place is lower because of the long wait time, and it is truly never busy. They take a while, but the food is cheap and delicious. Definitely a nice little place for to-go, not much of a dining room.

Delicious food, kind workers, good ambiance. They make everything from scratch so it does take a…read moresmidge longer than you might expect to get the food but it's so worth it. I got their matter paneer and aloo saag. Both were delicious. They have the option to make many (if not all) dishes that have a diary base with either coconut cream or dairy which also makes them a great vegan choice!

It's been five years since I enjoyed the culinary adventure of an Indian buffet, boy have I missed…read moreyou! Nepal offers a modest but diverse daily buffet from 11a - 2:30p (closed Mondays). We ventured in on a Tue around 1pm and there were four other tables occupied (out of approximately 12 total). The host/owner was incredibly gracious and tended to our order and water/refills. The buffet included your standards (Tandoori chicken; Tiki Masala chicken; Chana Masala; Saag Paneer; Daal soup; Jasmine rice) along with fresh warmed naan. There are a couple of standard deserts as well including Gulab and rice pudding. The standouts were the Masala chicken and lentil (Daal) soup. The Tandoori chicken had a terrific crust on each piece (no breading of course) but they were barely even lukewarm. They also had a curry chicken but it was our least favorite (very plain) despite both of us loving curry. The naan was amazing (brought fresh, warm, and lightly brushed with oil from the kitchen) after we retrieved our first buffet plate. The creamed spinach (Saag) was very good if a bit too salty. And the same was true of the stewed chick peas (Chana). Restaurants really need to learn to under-salt as patrons can always add more! Ambience is standard/cliche South Asian and parking is plentiful and free in this small strip mall. At $17, this was a very reasonable and delicious post-hike feast. I pretended to go to the wash room and picked up a GC for my hostess and slipped it in her glovebox. Smooth eh. They just started offering gift certificates - be sure to keep your paper receipt with the GC in the same envelope, just in case.

However, there were people sitting on their outside patio. Hardy folks, I guess! My friend was nursing a sore tummy, so she just had some grilled veggies and mashed potatoes. She loves everything she's had here. It was my first time. I ordered the chicken bowl with yakisoba noodles. It was lukewarm, but that's fine for me. I think they must have microwaved it because it was steamier as you ate down the bowl. The veggies were crisp, the noodles perfect, the chicken was tender. It was spiced at what I'd call a medium level, and quite yummy. My friend then ordered their vegan chocolate pudding, which we shared. Yummy and light. My one big criticism is that they charge $4 for iced tea. I questioned it and the cashier was kind of snippy about it, but the customer behind me approached after I dispensed my tea and said she agreed it's too expensive. The meal was appropriately priced and there is plenty of food, but the drinks? C'mon. It's worth maybe $2.50. They really should reevaluate that. It's the main reason that I gave the place 4 stars instead of 5. The other people who work there were nice and helpful. I didn't grab a fork but the server who brought my bowl cheerfully went and got me a fork and napkin. Very nice. It's obviously popular, it filled up as we sat, with quite a variety of people, from babies to seniors. I might go back, but perhaps next time I'll just get water. I hope they don't charge for that!
