We've had lunch and dinner at the Tibetan Cafe several times now. The menu is not extensive, but concentrates on relatively few, well-made, dishes. It's by and large Indian, usually with 3 to 5 curries (usually chicken,salmon, beef, pork, vegetarian) to choose from, as well as various other dishes. You have a choice of white rice or flavouful basmati. Most dishes are seved with rich mini-naan or roti. The food is simply made, but very flavourful and very good. The staff are extremely friendly, efficient and seem to enjoy their work a great deal. Definitely not a place that is out for the come-once-only tourist trade but is there for Victorians. Highly recommended.

I have gone to this restaurant for years - before it was only window service in Market Square, run by one lady. She used to get annoyed when I would try and take the food to eat at my desk. It is best HOT!
I am thrilled that she has opened up a full restaurant, and the food quality hasn't suffered for the expansion. This is great, made from scratch, fantastic flavour. The hot sauce is to die for. The momos are amazing. Sadly further from my office. :)

I'll cut right to the chase. I've eaten a lot of curry in my day, and the chicken curry here is the best I've had in over a decade — since, in fact, I ate at the top curry restaurant in Tokyo. Curry restaurants have often been accused of using spice to mask inferior ingredients, but this particular restaurant uses locally harvested free-range chicken and stays away from larding their fare with butter. Downtown Victoria now has two fabulous curry joints — the other being the Bengal Room at the Empress Hotel — but Tibetan Kitchen goes one step further than its more famous (and expensive) competitor. This is a place to enjoy!

One of our favorite places in Victoria! Welcoming staff and great food! You must order the momo's... Most of the food also loacl and or organic.

Good food, good prices, easy location, nice room, excellent value. First, don't let the name put you off; there's nothing weird on the menu. It's fairly limited, but varied. Portions are generous without being silly. I asked for a certain spice level, and they got it exactly right.

I had a beef curry, served with roti, dal, and rice. My wife had an interesting soup with chicken, noodles and vegetables. Lamb and vegetarian options too, wraps, momos, etc. Everything was of good quality, tasty and cooked appropriately. And the bill was pleasantly small.

Open 1-8 daily; this may change but do check before you go for lunch!
