On Saturday, my husband and I were out in Victoria and were ready for dinner. With no particular destination in mind, we happened to park on Broughton Street. Right by spot we parked was the Tibetan Kitchen Restaurant. So we went in.
The food was scrumptious and the service was delightful. We started with cocktails and momos. Having had not prior experience with Tibetan food, we did not know what to expect. Momos are a whole wheat dumpling filled with either pork, beef, or vegetables. We tried all three available fillings. They were served with a spicy green cilantro dip. Momos remind me of pot stickers. Delicious and delightful.
The cocktails were great - and strong. Mine was infused with lychee liquor and was called something like "Buddha's Delight" - I didn't know that Buddhists were drinkers, but hey it was a tasty drink. We shared two curries: the butter chicken and the vegetarian curry. They offer a choice of white rice or brown rice served with the curry. Both curries were flavourful and fresh.
The Tibetan Kitchen is a family-run business. The mother is the main cook, the daughter was serving at our table and the father was our host. The service is excellent - they take pride in their food and serve with an unpretentious but conscientious approach. I highly recommend this place.
