RESTAURANT REVIEW: TASTE OF TIBET

For someone willing to look beneath the surface
 
I’m so excited to be writing this review. This isn’t the kind of restaurant you’ve seen reviewed on this blog before and that’s unfortunate. Hopefully as I become more familiar with Delhi I’ll work up the courage to visit (and get you guys’ photos and reviews of) more places off the beaten path to Khan Market or HKV. Here’s taking a step in the right direction… 

Pork Momo


LOOKS LIKE 
A bright pink room with 5 folding tables and an open kitchen is about it. There’s one woman in the kitchen and the cashier is watching television over our heads. Half way through our meal a man strolls in with his terrier. The terrier sits down politely under his master’s table and suffers the indignity of being petted and fussed over by the patrons walking by him. 

Chilli Roast Pork

TASTES LIKE 
Start with fat, fluffy chicken dumplings waiting for you to bite into an explosion of flavorful, juicy meat. Follow up with a platter full of spicy, saucy, meaty Red Chilli Roast Pork. Set the fiery meat off with a banana shake they’ll whip up in front of you. Finish with a hot bowl of Pork or Buff Thukpa and fill yourself up with the soothing comfort of noodle, meat and vegetables. I doubt you’re going to have room for dessert. Actually I’m not sure if they have dessert at all.  

Pork Thukpa

FEELS LIKE 
Tucked away deep in the by lanes of Friends Colony market the Taste of Tibet is a treasure. This is some of the best comfort food I’ve ever had and I didn’t really mind that it came without any dressing.  
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW 
Should you go: Don’t bother to click in here in your stilettos, it’s probably best if you don’t carry that designer handbag and you should just check your hygiene phobias in with the terrier at the door.
