Café Tibet: A Vegan Restaurant

Sesh Sadasivam a month ago

Amazing hearty food, and great hospitality from the owner! I haven’t had Tibetan food before, so everything on the menu looked new & interesting to us. The food itself was fantastic (a bit lacking in salt for my taste, but salt shakers and soy sauce are available). It gave me the impression of Chinese food made in a more Indian style (“felt more East Asian than Nepali food”). After dinner, we enjoyed chatting with the owner, who shared his story from Tibet & India to the US. We will definitely be back to try more from the menu!

Easily my favorite restaurant in Berkeley, super warm service by the waitress. The food is as authentic as you can get, their dhaal tastes just like how it would taste back home in South Asia. Overall a homey experience both with the food and service. Can’t wait to be back!

Advertising over 50 vegan dishes Cute interior. Really like the full open windows in front and got a window seat. Traditional meditative music Friendly service but a tad slow with only one wait person. Early dinner just after opening, so very few people. More arrived before I left. Sho-ko Momo, potato version. Very wet filling. A few of them feel apart before I could get into my mouth. The mint is a nice accompaniment. Wolfed down all nine of them! Ngoe-thuk organic version +$4. She wasn't sure what the differences from one on the front page were other than being organic. Hope it's the version everyone raved about in reviews. Red Hot sauce and tamari condiments. Great hand made noodles, broccoli, carrots, left greens, tofu, celery, scallions, pumpkin seeds, mildly spiced. Didn't often get vegan lassi option do mango was refreshing Normally might have fed two lite appetites if shared but this guy was hungry and polished it all off! Bhaktsa-Marku, pasta brown sugar with butter. Whipped cream topping added! Want sure what to expect but nice tasty finishing touch. Chewy and sweet small pellets of pasta.

My wife and I had an awesome experience here for lunch. We both got the combination Momos plate and shared it. I really liked the spinach ones. My wife really liked the potato ones. For the mains, my wife got the fried rice (Shen-dea Ngoe-ma) and I got a tofu curry (Tsel-chu Tsel-Nezom). Everything was so tasty. Felt very nourishing and healthy. This place reminds me of if Shangri-La had more of a menu with choices.

The food here is delicate and restorative. The service is kind. Not to be missed. We had the momos in mint sauce and a hand-pulled noodle dish that had delicate, subtle flavors. Generous, reasonable portions. We’ll be back again and again. Including in our next lives! I’d be happy to not break the cycle of rebirth to eat this food.
