Taste of Tibet in Sidhpur, Dharamshala, offers a unique blend of Tibetan atmosphere and delicious Chinese cuisine. While the music may stray from traditional Tibetan tunes, the ambiance definitely transports you to the Himalayas. Nestled near Norbulinka Institute, the restaurant boasts a vast menu that caters to all appetites, from breakfast to dinner.
I've personally explored both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options on their menu, and I can confidently say there's something for everyone. Their vegetable platter, while decent overall, could benefit from fresher fried veggies. However, the momos and spring rolls, both ordered separately and as part of the platter, were absolute showstoppers!
On the non-vegetarian side, the chicken momos truly shined. Made with fresh chicken, a rarity in even high-end establishments, they were bursting with flavor. Unfortunately, the thukpa fell short, lacking the depth and richness I expected. It felt more like plain water, necessitating some personal adjustments. Additionally, the lack of shakes during my visit left me settling for a simple Pepsi, albeit the classic glass-bottle Lehar variety.
Despite its somewhat secluded location, Taste of Tibet's charm manages to attract tourists from far and wide. I myself witnessed visitors from different states enjoying their meals on my last visit. The bright green walls evoke a sense of Tibetan tradition, and while an outdoor seating area would be a lovely addition, the breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar mountains, even if just glimpsed from inside, create a truly magical atmosphere.
Overall, Taste of Tibet is a solid choice for a delicious and immersive Tibetan food experience in Dharamshala. While a few misses like the bland thukpa and limited beverage options exist, the fresh ingredients, flavorful momos, and charming ambiance make it a worthwhile destination for foodies and travellers alike. I certainly recommend it for a satisfying meal and a taste of Tibetan culture in the heart of...
   Read moreThis place has been on my list for long. And hence had attempted to visit twice. On my first visit, I was absolutely in awe of their mutton momos and veg momos. They are to die for especially the former. However I feel the Thupka could have been little warm. By the time we had finished the thupka, it came down to room temperature. Anyway, Totally loved the Food quality and the service.
Coming to my second visit to this place, On the very recommendation of the waiter (who was quite sweet but lacked proper communication skills), We had ordered the steamed whole chicken with ginger which was paired with tingmo. The food was very disappointing and wasnât worth the price we paid.
Overall my experience here on Taste of Tibet is good Would totally recommend trying Mutton momos and veg...
