    Beef momos
    Vicki W.

    Fantastic food and very reasonable prices! We stopped by for lunch and ordered the lunch special which is three dishes + rice for $12. We picked the chick pea curry, mixed vegetables and chicken curry; all of our selections were solid and large portions. However the real standout was the beef momos that we ordered! They had a perfect, tender exterior with juicy, tender, and flavorful meat inside. We also got a free chai, which was solid as well. A few things to be aware of before you visit - the momos are made to order, so they take around 20 minutes to prepare. The space is very minimalist and small, with only a few tables. A small back room is set up with awkwardly close tables and a bathroom door, not an ideal place to enjoy a meal. Carry out might be a better option during peak hours. Recommend a visit and make sure to order the momos!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I ordered the Shaptak Plate to go and not only was it flavorless, but it gave me diarrhea for THREE DAYS after I had it. Negative stars.

    Visited this location the other evening for dinner and overall enjoyed our meal. I'm from out of…read moretown and come from an area with a high Indian population and am absolutely spoiled with delicious authentic Indian food at home and I do have to admit this place isn't nearly as good as my local fare. We ordered the Aloo Gobi, a dish called "mushroom matter", basmati rice, "Indian style tea" which is just chai I don't know why they label it that way and a garlic naan. The aloo gobi was almost all cauliflower and lacked the brightness and salty sweetness I am used to, the mushroom dish also fell a bit flat although I've never seen this dish before so I have nothing to compare it to, the basmati rice was fairly short grained, not very fragrant and unspiced but the thing that got me was the crunchy toasted naan??! I was expecting your normal soft, pillowy, melt in your mouth steamy naan and I got what felt more like a crunchy pizza crust with no toppings, not that it was bad but it was wildly outside of what I was expecting and personally didn't like it, my daughter will eat any bread product and ate it instead. The service was incredibly nice, friendly, accommodating, and helpful, our food came quickly. I do wish they had some way of dealing with delivery drivers since they just loiter in the entry of the restaurant near the kitchen which happened to be right next to our booth and more than one large sweaty delivery driver was essentially leaning against my daughters side of the booth while waiting for pick up, kinda gross. They also need to replace their carpets and bench cushions but otherwise I loved the decor. Overall they need to step up their spice game, this is Indian food bring your A game and all other faults would be forgiven, except that crunchy naan. They also don't have Chana masala??!!? This is my go to and I've never seen this not offered at an Indian restaurant in my area. As a person spoiled by incredible Indian food this sadly doesn't hold up but it's good enough and better than other places we have tried in the area like Kathmandu II.

    This is one of the BEST Indian restaurants in the country. The food was reasonably priced and…read moredelicious. The staff was so nice. Try the butter chicken and the pakoras - amazing! Wish I lived locally so could come back here again and again!
