Moreover, spending time at here seems to be more blissful with lush homely seating. Added, they provide WiFi service for an hour per patron which actually works quite well. Moving to Food Fanatics, we had tasted more of Tibetan delicacies and less of the common names of dishes available around! concluded analytically that their dishes are quite sober in taste, near to none in spices and no major complications in garnish or so. We had ordered, ➊ Grilled Chicken Caeser Salad. Caeser Salad is the most classic, favorable and nevertheless the most renowned preference we had to try! However, the amount of chicken was quite not adequate but in-spite of that, the dressing was an admirable factor. Apparently, the presentation is joyous to notice.
➋ Himalayan Delight Pizza. A pizza is the most delightful fondness someone could blindly order. We went for something distinctive and the Himalayan Delight comes into the order. The fine crust was loaded with shredded cheese, corn, spinach, peppers, and olive. At any moment, we didn't feel any flaw coming into taste bud, instead, we ended up craving for more.
➌ Tibetan Butter Salt Milk. The most basic drink of tibetan heritage. Commonly known as Bhoj Ja, the drink was served hot, comprised of milk, butter and salt. Not much to expect in taste but it soothes the taste buds with it's simplicity as well.
➍ Tsampa Shake. Tsampa, a word from the experience of joys of Tibetan culture. Tsampa is a nutty tasting flour made from roasting barley flour. Quite typical to the tibetan nature, and most commonly consumable snack item. The shake was utterly thick and mild sweetness, which somehow resembles 'Sattu' (made from roasted black chickpea flour) from Bihar delicacies.
➎ Tibetan Cheese Cake. Known as 'Thu' in Tibetan dialect. Made with Yak butter, brown sugar and water, the pastry was the most simplest sweet charm ever grubbed. The presentation and simplicity is well taken care. The grainy and harshness might not be liked by everyone, but who like the thickness and nutty quotient will definitely appreciate this dessert.
Overall, considering the pocket friendly menu and distinguished different culture specializations, this outlet is outclassed and perfect recommendation for wanderlust gourmand. They provide free WiFi too, which stays on a device for an hour, which is again a perfection in service delivery. The staffs are indeed professional and humble. No such flaws can be found in this joint. A place like this always strive a willing to re-visit.
