Potala Momo Restaurant Leuven — Restaurant in Leuven

My recent trip from Brussels to Leuven, specifically for a highly anticipated momo feast, was unfortunately marred by incredibly rude and unwelcoming service. What we hoped would be a fun evening enjoying delicious momos turned into a frustrating and unpleasant experience, solely due to the behavior of the waitress. From the moment we walked in, it felt as though we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. Our waitress barely made eye contact, her responses were curt and unhelpful, and she exuded an aura that strongly suggested she'd rather we weren't there at all. Simple requests were met with sighs or an air of impatience, making us feel genuinely unwelcome throughout our entire meal. While the momos themselves were decent, the poor service completely overshadowed any enjoyment we might have derived from the food. It's truly a shame when a potentially good culinary experience is ruined by such a lack of basic hospitality. We traveled a significant distance with high hopes, only to leave feeling thoroughly disappointed and with our evening spoiled. I would strongly advise against visiting this establishment if you value good service...

Came here at 9pm Sunday (just now) and was told that there were only momos available because the chef had gone home. I said sure and waited, decided to order just the momos and do takeaway as I had walked 20 minutes from my hotel and was hungry. 2 couples came in after me and ordered noodles along with momos. I was waiting for the waitress to tell them only momos were available as she told me however she took the order without mentioning this. When she passed by I asked her how come Noodles were available now? She gave a story that they ordered noodles with soup and that's not for takeaway, but I had asked before, if I eat in is it still only momos and she said yes because chef had gone home. I then asked her but you told me only momos were available? She didn't really have an answer. I'm still confused...didn't want to make an issue as the space is small and there were people there. Momos were OK, not worth the 20 minute...

As a non-vegan, this Tibetan restaurant surprised me to no end. While they offer dishes with meat, we opted for the vegetarian homemade steamed momos and vegetarian main dishes. The family-owned restaurant sits around the corner of a busy square and offers a relaxing vibe with the meditative background music.

We've tried many types of cuisines, so it was pleasantly surprising to find that Tibetan food could be so different from its neighboring countries.

The place was clean and we were served promptly with a smile. They didn't skimp on the food which was absolutely...
