I have not given a perfect review very often but this place deserves one. We came here craving for some spicy Tibetan cuisine and we were not disappointed.
The momos here are amazing. You should try the chili chicken momos if you're a fan of food that makes you sweat. The Himalayan special chowmein is mind blowing as well. Gobi Manchurian - fantastic.
The staff is quick and polite and trust me on this, you come here once and then you'll get hooked to the delicious food. BURP!! -

It is nestled in this sweet little area surrounded by other Nepalese and tibetian food joints. The place is small and other reviews had warned there could be waiting.
We got here by 7 and thankfully did not have to be waited to be seated. They have used the space well and still managed to keep it roomy. It is not a place for large groups, 2-4 people is great anything larger and it might get crowded.
The menu is ellobrate with enough vegetarian options. We zeroed on jhol momos and beef chilli dry which came with rice. We saw the table next to us eating something very interesting looking, sha-balyas, beef mince stuffed in a croissant like bun.
Jhol momos- the jhol was lovely and We are it with the rice served with the dry beef. It had a slight sour flavor to it. There were at least 8 pieces of Momo's, they were filled well and tasted and looked delicious. Must try.
Beef chilli-dry: it was slightly chewy seeming as if they were uncooked. We did bring it to the notice of the server and he said they would tell the chef.
Sha-balaya: this was delicious, hot steaming buns with a beef mince and a soup like liquid. There are 4 big pieces in a plate. Enough for two people.
I would recommend sticking to the Momo's and the sha-balaya which is their speciality.
The food was good, but it is not something I am looking forward to coming back to. But definitely worth a try.
The servers are very indifferent, there is no interaction or friendliness, and they are good at their job but it's hospitality come-on.
Post 7pm it gets crowded and noisy, so get here in time. It's not particularly fast moving so be prepared accordingly. -

UPDATE: apparently, the owner of the restaurant came to me asking if I was the one who wrote the review after sitting for dining.. he kept shouting pointing the review of mine and mentioned he won't serve food for us (had one more friend seating on the same table) Such a terrible place and experience..
NOTE to Owner: if you want to take something seriously- do it with your customer service, not with customer the review after something already happened.
This place used to be very good! Now that they have gained all the fame for their food.. they don't let anyone even greet inside the restaurant!
We were just talking to our friends who are sitting already inside.. but it has not even been 10 seconds the server says you guys have to leave.. you can't stay here
Though I understand the size of it is small, but there is a word called "considerate" and these people are NOT.
I won't suggest this place at all. Never I am coming back.. they probably don't even deserve 1 star -

Came here with my girlfriend because she was craving momos and boy did this place not disappoint! Not a very big place nestled in the Parkdale area, we came in on a Friday early evening before the mad rush and ordered Chili chicken momos
Delhi Masala momos chicken
Chicken chow menu with Himalayan spices
The chili chicken momos was clearly the best with a combination of texture, meat inside and sauce which had just the right spice level and flavor. The Delhi Masala momos was pretty good too but felt a bit more fried and the texture wasn't as smooth as the chili chicken momos. The Chow Mein has lots of meat in it and was also flavorful and had a good spice level, although when we added hot sauce it was too spicy!
Each order of momos provides 8 and the prices overall is quite reasonable. Definitely a recommendation! -
