A taste of Lhasa

Lhasa Kitchen

拉萨厨房

A long-standing traveller restaurant near the Barkhor with a wide menu running from Tibetan staples through Nepali curries to Southeast Asian desserts and Western breakfasts. Not where you go for authenticity — it is where you go on day three when you want pancakes and a coffee, and that has real value at altitude.

Allergens in this kitchen

This is the kitchen, not one dish. Woks, fryers, blanching water and utensils are shared in almost every Chinese restaurant, so for a serious allergy treat the whole premises as the unit rather than ordering around it.
