Tibet Corner — Restaurant in Town of Montgomery

We stopped at Tibet Corner randomly for lunch while driving in the area. It was so utterly charming, the food was sooo good, and the owners were so wonderful that I haven’t forgotten and I’m writing this review 3 weeks later when I finally have a bit of time.

Living in NYC, we get to eat at all kinds of great restaurants. Never expected to find a restaurant that far surpasses most places in NYC - in upstate NY. Everything we ate was excellent - and we ordered a bunch of dishes (forgot to take photos of everything). The chicken Shapta tingmo was the best. I’m still dreaming of it weeks later. The Puri was different and really good. It went well with Daal. The ginger tea was perfect - milky black tea with just the right amount of sweetness, infused with fresh ginger.

The restaurant space itself was bright, airy, and calm. I loved the prayer flags outside, and the cute store area in one side of the space that had Tibetan things like prayer bowls, etc.

The owners were absolutely lovely as well. It was a total delight stopping at Tibet Corner. I just wish it was close by and I could eat there regularly. I want to go visit the area just to eat at...

So my mom and I tried Tibet Corner today and it was our first time trying Tibetan Food ever. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!

As soon as we walked in we were greeted with kind staff and a calming atmosphere! We got all of the teas and mango lassi! My Mom and I’s favorite tea was the ginger milk tea with sugar. We also tried the butter tea and it was very savory (almost like a soup broth; don’t put sugar in this tea) and while it was different than what I was used to, I enjoyed it. We also tried the Beef Momo and took the fried rice and Then-thuk to go! We also tried all of the sauces with the momo and I enjoyed the spicy chili sauce/soy sauce and my mom liked the mint sauce.

If you want to know what food it’s similar to, Tibetan Food tastes very similar to Chinese food with Indian influences (which makes sense geographically). It was really cool to experience the beauty of diversity by learning about Tibetan culture from the staff and try delicious dishes. You felt like you were walking into a grandmother’s house and it was extremely comforting! Would 100% recommend and my mom and I...

Ordered a variety of momo’s (beef, chicken, vegetable) and they were amazing. I loved the red sauce that came w them, it was garlicky and had a slight kick to it. Also ordered the beef sha baley which was also delicious. Reminded me of an empanada, Tibetan style. The place is small with limited seating, but excellent for takeout. Cute little shop with Tibetan things for sale and a bucket of sidewalk chalk outside for kids to use right outside their door. I will definitely be...
