What a surprise! Excellent Tibetan food in New Haven. I loved the bread roll. I also enjoyed the dumplings. Baby bok choy was done nicely. Curry was excellent. Overall the food here is excellent. The only issue is getting the table because this place is tiny. I also enjoyed the chai. I'll be back.

Very welcoming cozy environment with women who know what you need before you do (whoop). The food was wholesome and there was agave for my chai tea. Definitely put my heart at ease. Will return.

We've only been living in New Haven for five weeks, but I can say with confidence that this place is going to be our favorite restaurant. We've been three times already. It would be hard to beat. Tingmo is not only a fun word to say, but it pairs so well with the spicy curry. The flavors! Oh my god the flavors. I requested my chili tofu to be made with less oil this most recent visit, and they made it perfectly. The place itself is small and cozy and cute and warm and welcoming. Worth every freaking penny.

I came here on a Saturday evening for dinner after have a few drinks at a place down the street. It was small and very cozy inside and decorated nicely. We were greeted right away and given a menu. The food was AMAZING. I had been wanting to come to this restaurant for a while since the food on the menu isn't very common and was so glad I did. High quality ingredients, well cooked, and all reasonably priced. I will say the dumplings they have are the best thing to get. We got the pork ones and they were juicy and went well with the dipping sauce. I'd definitely recommend a stop in to this place.

Currently my favorite restaurant in New Haven, I like it so much. If you love spicy 🌶️ you should try their food. My favorite one is the fried noodle with spicy level 3/4, soooo delicious! 🤤 never try 5 😂

My wife and I went to Tibetan Kitchen for dinner. Although the place was full, the staff was very kind and accommodate us in two chairs in their hallway. Since the place is very small, the tables are very close to each other. But the overall atmosphere is very cool. The food was awesome. It reminds me a little bit of Indian and Chinese food, but it unique in a hard to describe way. It is definitely worth trying.

Absolutely Amazing Experience! We visited Tibetan Kitchen in New Haven with a group of eight colleagues, and every single one of us loved the food! The flavors, portion sizes, and pricing were all spot on, making it an incredible dining experience. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled with the options. We ordered: • Thukpa Dhrangmo – Spicy cold noodles with sesame oil dressing. This was refreshing, packed with bold flavors, and had the perfect balance of spice and tang. • Tsel Momos – Pan-fried vegetable and cheese dumplings. These were absolutely delicious, crispy on the outside and filled with a flavorful mix of veggies and cheese. • Chili Tofu – Stir-fried tofu with green and red bell peppers in sweet chili oil, served with white rice. The tofu was perfectly cooked, with a great balance of spice and sweetness. A couple of my friends ordered Chili Chicken and Chili Shrimp, and they couldn’t stop raving about how good it was! They said the meat was tender, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the sauce. Service was friendly and efficient, and even though we were a large group, everything came out fresh and hot. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food we received. Whether you’re a fan of Tibetan cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit! I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Updating now that I have eaten inside. It is great! Homely, we were able to get a table of 7 and have an amazing time. The staff are great and attentive. Some of the best food I have had in New Haven! Amazing food options, glad there is a vegetarian option and hearty soups served with rice. I have only ordered take out so I have not had a sit down experience but when I pass it usually looks packed with people which is good!

The best restaurant in New Haven. The waitress was absolutely lovely and attentive; the potato, beef noodle soup I ate was unlike anything i've had before, the rice was perfect, the portions were massive and affordable, the menu is expansive and vegan friendly, the ambience is cozy and well decorated. Everything about this place is high quality, yet affordable, somehow. Words can't describe Tibetan Kitchen, you must go and you must tip well.
