Tibet's Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Louisville

Let me tell you a story.

My brunch companion and I went to check out Huckleberry’s in the sweet town of Louisville, Colorado.

From what I heard, they are the same owners of Dushanbe Teahouse (in Boulder)and the Chautauqua restaurant (at the well-known and loved Chautauqua, that boasts of scenic hiking trails and celebratory concerts), both serving delicious foods and soothing drinks.

We trusted the food would be great.

Because of this, and because it was on a Saturday, the wait was close to an hour. After ten minutes, a busser sat us at a table, serving us water.

We thought we had it made in the shade.

Ten minutes more and we were approached by the host, who insisted we leave to wait for our turn.

My friend requested the manager who basically repeated the same thing only with a little more aplomb.

We carried our waters with us to a bench where we sat uncomfortably for fifty minutes more.

The environment made us both feel stressful and claustrophobic. The conversational voices in the restaurant carried throughout the old house, now a restaurant.

We decided to leave and head for Tibet’s instead.

The comparison was earth shatteringly different.

Walking into Tibet’s was like a breath of fresh air. We were greeted with a big smile and were able to sit wherever we chose.

The service was absolutely impeccable and respectful and the food, as always, was soothing to our souls.

The comfort and feelings of worthiness generously given and made apparent by each server, cemented our decision by our choice to eat there, instead.

And it just felt so good...

Tibet's is by far my favorite Tibetan/Indian/Nepalese restaurant in the Denver area. Been enjoying their food for maybe 10 years or more.

Love their tandoori chicken, and their curry's. My favorite dish is hands down the Vindaloo, which is a dish made without cream, and the Aloo Gobi: Potatoes, cauliflower, and peas in a tomato onion cream sauce.

This restaurant is extremely interactive with the community and you always see them with their food truck at the various events in Louisville, like the Town Faire every Friday and at the Taste of Louisville. Basically everywhere.

They have a wide variety on their buffet when it's out, and I really do believe that they do a good job in sticking to classic Tibetan flavors and spices.

I hope you give Tibet's a chance as I did once upon a time, and I hope you wouldn't be...

Hearty Tibetan and Indian dishes in a cosy atmosphere with friendly staff. There's plenty of outdoor seating and large booths for up to six.

Dishes are varied and most can be adjusted to suit tastes or diet. Great seletion of vegetarian/vegan options. Mid-day buffet is a good value. The momo dumplings seem fresh, though we didn't try the meaty ones. The dal soup is subtly flavored, letting the creaminess of the lentils show. The tikka masala (a kid favorite) could have used a little zip. The saag included very fresh veggies with just a hint of spiciness, which I am sure they could adjust as well.

The wait staff has seemed consistent over the past year we have been going here, a good sign. This isn't a flashy or experimental restaurant, but it serves consistent and...
