One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants! Love sitting outside and siping butter tea. The curry noodles are a fave too and beef momos. Byob too which is a plus!

This place is a must if you're into tibetian/asian food. Never had so many delicous tastes at the same time. Very friendly staff. Worth more than just one visit.

This place is amazing. Extremely small and intimate. Arrive 20 minutes early so you can leave your phone number and grab a drink down the street.

Quiet, little place right above the train. Chicken curry was great. Excited to go back to try others.

Every single dumpling was delicious. Their sauce is spice so i can some of their soy sauce to put some of it in and that was amazing.

Beef Momos: "A plateful of these spicy, thick-skinned Himalayan dumplings is well worth a jaunt out to this friendly Ditmas Park hole in the wall." Read more

Chow Mein may not be the most adventurous dish but I'm hooked on Cafe Tibet's smoky version. Share it with Beef Momos and some vegetables on the side.

1) it's cash only. So leave the credit cards home. 2) you can bring your own bottle of wine for your meal.

I feel like sitting outside writing, maybe having a conversation and being stimulated by ambient street sounds, passerbys, the rumble of a subway car below and the café's music all at once.

Excellent place with great service, the food was fantastic and it's awesome for a date since it's cozy and not loud.

Loved the pork chili and the hot sauces are incredible! The thalis will get you great variety for a lower price.

Two people I know got sick from eating here but I still go back! THATS HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT MOMO. THAT SWEET, SAUCY BEEF MOMO. I'm also a fan of the beef thenthuk.

cafe is in an easy-to-miss narrow alleyway between the bodega and the train station

Good, but not stand in line for 30+ minutes good. Recommend momo combo or if you want just one kind, get the beef momos.
Nate FolkertOctober 11, 2014

If you're looking for cheap eats on Cortelyou, this charming cafe is a must. The kitchen closes at 10:30.

we visit tibet almost every month last 5 years. Unfortunately it is not good anymore. Food is not tasty and service is not good. Improve everything or we will not come back.
