What to order
Point at the Chinese. Staff will understand it even where the menu has no English at all.
- Yak momo dumplings (牦牛肉包子/藏式饺子)
- Curry with naan (咖喱配馕)
- Thukpa noodle soup (藏面/吐巴)
- Sweet tea (甜茶)
What it actually tastes like
Yak meat is leaner, darker and stronger-tasting than beef, with a faint muttony edge. The Nepali side of the menu is mild by Indian standards. Butter tea, if you order it, is salty rather than sweet and tastes like a thin, savoury broth with a dairy film — order sweet tea instead if that sounds unbearable.
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.
