Cafe Tibet - Vegan Restaurant

I came here late in the afternoon for lunch, (this was my first time eating at Cafe Tibet). I had been expecting my date to meet me there, but unfortunately ended up having to stand me up due to traffic and work-related issues. I ordered the Eggplant Chips as an appetizer (more like "chips" in the British sense), Bod-Jha/Tibetan Butter Tea, Tingmo, and a bowl of the Cafe Tibet Soup. I also ordered the #30 momo combination plate to-go for my partner and I to share later.The space itself is cozy, relaxed, and very charming. Everyone working there - from the servers to the chef - were incredibly warm, welcoming and friendly. The best part though? Everything was delicious!!!! And Vegan?!?!! And Organic!?! I'll be back very soon.Also my partner loved the momos, and can't wait to try more of their dishes.

I had their popular 3 types of momos. The sauce tasted so good I wanted to lick the plate. My friend L, licked the sauce first. So get ready to fight for the last drop.Don't hesitate to ask for the most popular dishes. I got the hand made noodles, which is noodle #2. I got a large portion and was worth it. I think it can use more veggies, but no worries I had other dishes that were almost all veggies.Lots of organic options.There's lots of organic options which is GREAT and popular in BizerkleyCome check it outAs always nice owners/servers.

Cafe Tibet is in my top 5 restaurants in the East Bay. I love their Ngoe-thuk pan friend sweet potato noodles with tofu and vegetables, which tastes so delicious and the portion so generous I get supremely happy! With their Himalayan seasonings, vegetables choices and take on fried rice, noodles, soups, and organic veggie dishes make unique and healthy.I am gluten free so I can't eat the Momos (Tibetan dumplings), but every person I've brought orders them and says they are scrumptious. There is an influence of Indian cuisine in some of the dishes and appetizers, and their macrobiotic plates are also generously portioned and super tasty. No boring, bland vegetarian food here. I have been eating here for 6 years, and the change to vegan was an enviromental choice by a family member who took over, but it hasn't affected the yumminess of their offerings. The past 3 years eating in NYC, LA, SF and the East Bay I've noticed a foodie revolution going on in the later surpassing everywhere else. I read a list recently that put Oakland as number one on a list as best city to eat out nationally. I am lumping all of the East Bay into that category, but I would agree, Oakland, Berkeley and Albany have it going on.It's probably the influence of Berkeley's Chez Panisse which started the whole farm to table revolution using quality ingredients to make delicious healthy food. In any case Cafe Tibet is part of that community, has a super sweet vibe with Thangkas all over the walls and a prayer wheel at the entrance, worth keeping on your Best of the Bay list.

Best momos ever. Shoko momo is my favorite. Couple it with the lentil soup for a delicious meal. Service is quick and friendly. The vibe is authentic Tibetan, intimate and relaxed. Definitely recommend. My go-to spot for momos. They have three different vegetarian options and multiple meat options. Can't go wrong. All are amazing!

I went back with a couple friends today to try a few more dishes. It was so satisfying. The lentil miso soup with seaweed on top is really good and smells amazing even though it might not look much.

I enjoyed eating at Cafe Tibet. Really tasty vegan food, very different flavors than i'n used to, and it was delicious. The waitress was so helpful and lovely. Highly recommend

Visited Cafe Tibet in Berkeley to try Tibetan food for the first time, and it was quite good! I ordered one of their noodle soups as well as a curry rice and both had great flavor and choice of ingredients.Just so folks are aware, even though the menu includes meat options, the restaurant is currently phasing it all out to vegetarian, which I think is nice even though I typically enjoy meat. The service and ambiance were also really nice. The server was very easy to talk to and shared some things about Tibet. Overall, this is a nice local restaurant to support and I will be coming back here for the good food!

I got the daily plate with Kabocha squash, brown rice, kale and salad. The prices went up to $17.99, but the business owner Tashi threw in a free Indian chai (score!). I learned he assumed ownership rather recently so he will be revamping the menu to focus on vegetarian dishes. As for the interior, it's a bit dated and in need of renovation which Tashi is planning to do. He said the landlord is replacing the windows and he will replace the current flooring. Can't wait to see it when it's all done. I always found Tibetan food to be nourishing. It's delicious too. And I absolutely support his ultimate goal of educating people about Tibetan culture which is slowly being lost in the future generations :( with that said, I will be back.

I loved their vegan momo variety plate (3 momos) and the serene atmosphere and kind server. This is a classic spot in the heart of Berkeley, and a perfect lunch or dinner option before taking in a concert or play on Addison Street! It's like going to Tibet for an hour. A pleasant sanctuary filled with delicious food.

The extremely strong incense was intolerable to me; it was especially concentrated in such a tiny indoor space with insufficient air circulation. I arrived to meet a group of 11 other people but had to leave after a minute, and wish I could have stayed, but breathing that level of particulates and other fragrance for an hour is not for me. I'm okay with light incense but this was more extreme than any setting I've ever encountered.People with asthma or MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) may want to call ahead to ask.
