Can you please direct me for lunch or dinner on a Saturday? We'll be driving in from Connecticut in a couple of weeks. I searched this board using last 12 months and last 5 years as criteria, but only found an old post from 2005 about Tibet Shambala, now closed (right?). I also googled and found nothing current from Chowhound, which was surprising. Sun Nov 08 06:57:17 -0800 2009 249664 kattyeyes 1 5164792 You should probably try searching on the Outerboroughs Board. I know there's Tibetan in Queens (we had some fun stuff at the Taste of Jackson Heights last year though I can't recall the restaurant's name).

Sun Nov 08 07:10:30 -0800 2009 5164792 249664 kattyeyes 1 5164825 I've been to at least two Tibetan places in Manhattan. There's one place on 3rd and 31st I think, called Tibetan Kitchen. Then there's a place on east 9th... name escapes me at the moment but it was also pretty good.

Sun Nov 08 08:57:11 -0800 2009 5164825 1093353 fm1963 1 5177910 I like to go to Cafe Himalaya, 1st St. between 1st and A, for a soothing dinner sometimes, on the way home from work. It's a family operation by Tibetans who grew up in Nepal (I think I remember correctly that the younger generation of staff was born there), and serves both cuisines. I don't consider it a destination restaurant, however. Thu Nov 12 23:25:17 -0800 2009 5164786 17058 Pan
