Came here with my boyfriend twice,The first time I went, I thought I could handle the spice but after eating what I thought was a green bean (which turned out to be a very thin green bean looking hot pepper) I was dying and couldn’t get water fast enough. The kind waiter was so unbelievably helpful and very concerned, and Brought out a big bowl of yogurt on the house to help me.The second time we went we had the same waiter by chance, and he again, was so kind, at one point even asking my boyfriend about an old cut on his arm and if he needed a first aid kit.The service here is amazing, I didn’t recognize the different names on the menu but a quick Google search helps with that and the food is absolutely delicious!Would definitely recommend
I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and a sunny afternoon put me in the neighbourhood for lunch at this Tibetan & Hakka place.The mango lassi , was simply delicious, velvety and not too sweet.We ordered from their lunch specials menu:*Thali (South Asian style combo meal) with mutton curry – the poori (bread) was puffed to perfection, light and airy. The dal was a little on the plain side, but delicious none the less. The mutton curry was delightful, full of rich flavours. The accompanying pickle and slaw were refreshing and went so well with the dishes.($8.99)*Phingsha Combo – came with a bowl of hot & sour soup, not too salty and loaded with vegetables. The fried momo was packed with beef and so tasty. The phingsha (beef stew with potatoes, mushrooms, and vermicelli) itself was good and quite filling. Tingmo (steamed giant bun) was well cooked and tender. As well as great to dip in the stew. ($7.99)The service was great and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. It was constantly busy while we were there. I will definitely be back to try some of the other items on their menu!
Courteous staff. I tried the vegetarian momo and it was delicious. I love how minced the filling was. I also tried the tibetan noodle soup and that was memorializing. The Tibetan-pulled wide noodles tasted like momo skin dough cooked in broth (so tasted like pasta). But the noodle soup was delicious nonetheless.
Another cool Tibetan place in Parkdale!They serve the cuisine of their homeland by way of India (where they picked up some Indian/Chinese Hakka cooking). The place is nicer than most in the ‘hood and feels cozy and welcoming.The food is fresh-made (be prepared to wait, at least on weekends), spicy, tasty and affordably priced.The soft steamed bun/roll called tingmo is superb and pairs well with their spicy curries. Bon apetit!
This was my first time eating Tibetan cuisine. They’ve got a fantastic lunch menu so many options for under $10!!! Momo (dumplings) are my new favorite eat!!! The Manchurian chicken was oh so delicious. Can’t wait to try their other offerings another time soon! petiteplusmeow.wordpress.com
Norling is a small and simple restaurant that offers moderately-priced Tibetan and Hakka food. Went with a large group on a Saturday night. Service was warm, very accommodating and attentive, especially considering we occupied more than half the place. Due to our group size, there was a longer wait for the food to start arriving but once it did, the rest was served with no further delay. Most items on the menu can be tailored to your preference – mild, less or more spicy. Our table shared chicken pokora, steamed beef momos, shabaley (Tibetan beef patties), blood sausage, chilli chicken, tripe in spicy sauce, beef soup with hand-pulled traditional Tibetan style noodle. We all enjoyed these flavourful dishes. Friends at the next table raved about the vegetable Manchurian. For dessert, it was a choice between deep fried banana or pineapple, served with ice cream. Not worth leaving room for dessert, I’d just get another dish to try instead. One of my friends and I have been to two other Tibetan restaurants and we both agreed Norling is better.
I went with my wife and boy’s. It was a very pleasant experience. The food was amazing the service was fine. The decor was dated, but we went to eat not look… I found this place using a search tool and the one review seemed sincere… So we went for it… No Regrets whatsoever.
