I would suggest that you get there early or make reservations. This was my first time for this type of dinning. The Tibetan Tea was different (buttered and salted). Dumplings made up most menu and where a little oily for myself. I would dine here again.    [26 Jan 2004 21:20:45]

Best Food in Town!
I eat at Little Tibet at least 3 times a month. Before one morsel of food is on the table, I'm already enjoying myself -- the atmosphere is cozy, the people are friendly, and who can be anything but happy when looking at photos of Tibet and the Dalai Lama?

The food is excellent! When I need comfort food, I order the Kham Amdo Thukpa. The thick noodles in this "stew" are the best part of the whole thing! The mo-mos are also amazing -- I prefer the beef mo-mos, but the chura mo-mos (cheese) are also delicious. Beware -- mo-mos are heavy and filling... and messy!

While I don't care for Tibetan Butter Tea, some people take right to it. I usually order Coke or jasmine tea. And a mango lassi after dinner (or lunch) is the perfect way to end the meal.

I've lived in Bloomington for over 7 years and I haven't found a restaurant that even comes close to Little Tibet!    [01 Sep 2004 13:07:21]

Charming and wholesome
Delicious and filling food spiced to your request, served in a comfortable and eclectic atmosphere that feels very homey, like a backpacker haven in Nepal on the inside and a low-key high-end granola yuppie restaurant on the outside, especially in the summer when the little white lights are on and the goldfish pond is going. Luscious dinner outside in the summer, surrounded by the scent of jasmine and spices - perfect date restaurant for the budget-minded cosmopolitan Romeo who wants to show that he's not some yoik who takes girls to Chili's. Sometimes the service is bad (from cold and distant to outright rude [...]), but if you bring good company you won't miss a thing.    [01 Feb 2005 18:25:42]

Food was very good, comfortable friendly atmosphere. The wait staff were somewhat less than attentive. Overall an enjoyable experience.    [03 Mar 2005 09:03:09]

Very friendly and comfortable
I found that the wait staff was extremely polite, something that always makes the food taste better. I have never had a bad meal and sitting outside is always very relaxing. Another plus, they cater to local students by offering healthy, filling meals at resonable prices. Definitely one of the best places in Bloomington!    [20 Jul 2005 14:34:07]

Yum
Even though it is a "Tibetan restaurant" the Indian curry is very popular with people--especially the indian students. I'm Tibetan and Indian murgi curry is basically the only thing I eat. My mom brings it home to me almost every other night along with a mango lassi. They just got new chairs which are much better than the previous ones. Oh yes, my mom is the cook and my dad owns it. hahaha    [09 Mar 2006 08:32:31]

Always satisfied
You will find very few places in the U.S serving this kind of food. The atmosphere is intimate and the walls are cluttered with Tibetan posters and other memorabilia.

Despite the humble surroundings, the food is divine. I've never had better salad dressing anywhere (I've even dined outside in the restaurant's garden in the rain just to have the house salad dressing). The chura momo (dumplings with swiss cheese and onions) is a dish that I wake up craving at night.

Dine outside when the weather is pleasant.    [26 Mar 2006 21:01:06]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Little Tibet
It was one of the first resturants my boyfriend took me to when I came to visit him...now I live here and I LOVE being able to drop in anytime to grab a good meal.

For appetizers we get the Samosa or the Satay Beef.
My boyfriend loves the Pork Momo and orders it every time.
I like to get the Sha Balaay, Cho Cho, or the Red Curry with Beef or Chicken (I ususally get a 1, spicy level, it goes up to 5...I'm really not into TOO spicy, but all depend on you)

The Mango Lassi is really great.

I get Little Tibet for my boyfriend when he's not feeling good; a friend swears the Cho Cho cured her of a nasty cold she had. We love to get it when we're sick, when we're celebrating, or generally just craving it.

The wait staff is truly nice and polite and summer outside dining is great as well.

I would recommend to everyone b/c I truly think there is something for everyone. JUST BE OPEN TO A NEW EXPERIENCE OF FOOD!    [12 Jan 2007 12:47:11]
