New York | Lhasa

Fragrant, Plentiful, and Dense! My First Taste of Tibetan Cuisine in the East Village 🌟 🌸I’ve always dreamed of traveling to Tibet, and I never expected my first Tibetan food experience to be right here in New York. After working out near NYU, I walked into this charming restaurant in the East Village. 🌆 🥟 Momo (Tibetan Dumplings) Momo, also known as Tibetan dumplings, are quite something! The beef filling is incredibly dense and flavorful. 🌸 Fresh out of the steamer, they’re packed with savory juices, and the wrapper is chewy and substantial. They look similar to soup dumplings but aren’t as delicate or greasy. A plate of eight is quite filling! 😌 The yellow sauce has a delightful aroma of spices, and the owner even drew a little heart on it. The white sauce has a creamy, milky texture that’s so comforting. 🥛 🍃 If you can’t decide, go for the combo plate, which includes beef, chicken, and chive options! 🍖 #NewYork #NYC #TibetanCuisine 🌆🌟
