Taste of Tibet is a small yet popular restaurant tucked away on the first floor along the bustling MG Marg in Gangtok. Known for its Tibetan specialties like momos, shyaphale, and thukpa (or thumpa), it's a cozy spot that draws both tourists and locals. We tried a few of their signature dishes. The momos were decent but didn't quite live up to the hype -- they lacked the punch of flavor we were expecting. However, the thumpa completely won us over with its rich and comforting taste -- perfect for the chilly weather. The shyaphale was another highlight: crispy and well-fried on the outside with a generous, flavorful chicken stuffing inside. Overall, Taste of Tibet is a good place to stop by if you're exploring MG Marg and craving some Tibetan comfort food. It's definitely worth a visit for the thumpa and shyaphale!

Great Tibetan food . I found veg momos average but the chilli chicken momos were out of the world - a must try !!

My recent visit to Taste of Tibet provided a clear paradox: one of the best locations in the area paired with a surprisingly poor execution of their signature dish. The restaurant's biggest asset is undoubtedly its position right beside MG Marg. Seated on the covered rooftop, you get a lovely view of the bustling, illuminated street below, making it an ideal spot for lunch, dinner, or evening snacks. The ambiance is vibrant and enjoyable, promising a great meal out. Unfortunately, the experience took a downturn once the food arrived. I ordered both a plate of Pork Momos and Chicken Momos. The primary issue lay with the wrappers. The dough coating on the Pork Momos was excessively thick and, critically, seemed under-steamed. It was stiff, indicating it had not been cooked properly. The Chicken Momos, while slightly better, also featured a coating that was considerably thicker than the delicate, fine wrappers I am accustomed to enjoying in places like Kolkata. When I inquired about the thick texture and consistency, the response I received was simply that "it is like that only," which honestly left me skeptical about the preparation standards. Ultimately, the wrapper quality was so distracting that I was forced to eat only the flavorful filling, leaving the majority of the dough behind. This was a significant disappointment for a dish central to Tibetan cuisine. Thankfully, a secondary order, the Chicken Wonton Soup, was genuinely good and the quantity was also enough for 2

Good ambience, good food. Must visit place if you are in Gangtok. Good and polite staff but they wrongly served me pork thenthuk in place of chicken
