Tibetan food in [Greater Toronto Area]

Anything about Tibetan food in the GTA

I tried Momoheart
(416) 551-7891

on Lansdowne Ave North of Bloor today. The pan-fried beef momo were delicious. Just under $11 for 10 Momos. The Momos were a generous size. This restaurant is set up like a fast food restaurant, rather than a full service restaurant. The menu is limited.

A previous Momo Crawl in Parkdale, to Loga’s Corner and
Tashi Delek .

Lhasa Thukpa from Tibet Café in Kensington Market. Prices are cheaper if you call direct, instead of using UberEats.

The place is a dive, and some customers seem to be there for cheap beer rather than Tibetan food. Their thukpa is good. I haven’t tried any other Lhasa Thukpas yet.

I’ve tried the Butter Chicken Momos at Momo House in Yorkville. They were fine. They do in a pinch.

Agree, the Momos at Momo House aren’t anything special. I should have said they were okay rather than fine.

I prefer the other Momos I have tried elsewhere listed in the other replies.

When I say they’ll do in a pinch, I mean that they’re not that special. They’re okay.

I’ve only tried Butter Chicken momos once.

There is a Momo place called Momo Corner at 161 Baldwin in Kensington Market, that I think is Nepalese instead of Tibetan, and they had more sauce options.

Are there any Tibetan restaurants outside of Toronto?

London has a place that sells Tibetan Momos and a few other dishes at the Western Fair Farmers Market on the weekend, and sells to some indie grocery stores.

I don’t know about your neck of the woods.

Toronto has the largest expat Tibetan population outside Tibet. The heart of the community is in Parkdale.

A lot of Hakka restaurants sell Momos, since they’re very popular throughout the Himalayas, Nepal, India, and other parts of South Asia.

If you come to explore Momos, you’ll be happy to see most places have at least 2 or 3 vegan and/ or vegetarian Momos available.

Momo Hut and Gardens on the Danforth is quite good. They have a small patio during the warmer months.
