Master Critic Review
Tandoori Tibet
7.7
A tight Indian-and-Tibetan fusion stop where the strongest moves are dumplings plus one tandoor or curry-style plate to anchor the meal. It’s more about hot, filling food and fast satisfaction than ambiance, and it rewards focused ordering.
Must-Try Dishes:
Beef momos, Hariyali chicken, Chicken tikka masala
