Here’s how and where to find the Best Tibetan Food in Bangalore?

But First.. why Tibetan Food?

I have always been in awe of the Tibetan or Buddhist culture for the longest time. Tibetan food is food for the soul. I’m a sucker for the Steaming dumplings and spicy meat stews with potatoes. I mean you really cannot call yourself a foodie if you haven’t even Tibetan!

Some mouth-watering Tibetan dishes..

You can start your meal with an arduous portion of dumplings or momos as we call them. (Only to be eaten with Spicy chilli sauce.. I insist.. Please no Mayo!).
Followed with Laping to build up your appetite .. and for the always hungry souls like myself.. a huge servicing of Thenthuk is just divine.

Most Tibetan food joints in India are extremely affordable and not very glamorous places.. which could be a disappointment for a lot of the fancy eaters!

But I have always believed fancier the place; sadder their food !

On one of my trips to Bangalore, my cousin took me to this Small family run Tibetan restaurant off Brigade Road called- Green Tara.
Lemme warn you; it’s not your Mainland Chinas of the world.. so don’t expect impeccable service or decor. Although food is always hot and spicy! Well mildly spicy in my case!

I have been there more than a couple of times now; because I absolutely love their hot stews.. very homely and comforting. Filled with flavour and aroma of the spices. Makes my mouth salivate even as I write..

Piece-de-resistance..

No bowl of soup will ever taste the same for me after eating a Tibetan one! Noodle Soups are very popular in the Tibetan Cuisine. My personal favorite is the Laping seasoned with red chilli peppers, onion, chilli oil and a heavenly amount of Garlic!
Have some steamed bun along with this for sure..

Avoid the thupkas though!

I strongly recommend this place for a sumptuous meal any time of the day if you are strolling on Brigade or MG road in Bangalore.

This is how a Strong Tibetan Soup makes me feel..

I feel free relaxed and fully-satisfied and not bloated at all!

Of course not on the beach!!

I wore this dress to my Tibetan food adventure.
