OM offers a warm, welcoming dining experience with a cozy vibe, friendly service and affordable, comforting Tibetan and Indian dishes. Dishes such as momos, biryani, curries and mulligatawny soup are praised for bold flavors and a homemade touch, with some reviewers calling OM the best Tibetan food in Montreal. The atmosphere blends Tibetan art, candlelight and smooth jazz, and the venue provides both indoor seating and a pleasant patio that comes alive in warmer weather. Vegetarian options are tasty and well prepared, and the staff are described as attentive and helpful, with an owner who has a long connection to the place. Value stands out with generous portions and mindful packaging that minimizes waste. While most reviews celebrate the food and service, a few note that the cuisine is good rather than outstanding, suggesting high expectations in a city with many acclaimed options. Overall, OM is seen as a hidden gem with unique offerings that invites return visits and a warm, friendly vibe.
They offer various vegetarian food options. We ordered the MoMos végétarien (it serves with the soup daal/lentilles) Soup Then Thuk with homemade noodles, Timo (Tibetan bread which they don't use chemical yeast), Naan, & Lassi a la mangue. I highly recommend Soup Then Thuk (it's a big bowl for 2 people) & ⭐⭐⭐Lassi Mangue⭐⭐⭐ is the best ever! I like the fact it's all only tge natural sweet from the mango, they made it freshly & tasty! The price is reasonable also. Definitely will come back to try another dishes! Also thanks to the waitress, she is lovely & friendly! ♥️♥️♥️

I went to this place seeing the Google reviews. Kindly don't add false reviews here! The food was not worth going for, first of all nowhere in Tibet or anywhere we get sweet dip with momos it is always on spicy side. I went with the expections that I would get good momos & chutney, but it was bad!! Chili Chicken was like dal with lots of turmeric & 3 pieces of chicken in it. So after 2 bad dishes I ordered, biryani asked them to make it spicy, but it was full of ginger, pepper, & lots of rasins. The only good thing was their tapped beer.
Delicious food, excellent service & great prices. Can't ask for more. We tried the cheese & shrimp momo's, shrimp noodles, butter chicken, mango lassies & two different type of breads. It was a culinary experience. Thank you again !

Les momos sont incroyables & le propriétaire est hyper gentil. Il est clair qu'il est très heureux de partager sa cuisine avec tous ceux qui viennent. Très bon service, ambiance très chaleureuse. J'ai hâte de revenir & d'amener tous mes amis. // The momos are absolutely amazing, & the owner is ridiculously kind. It's clear how excited he is to share his cooking with everyone who comes in. Great service, very chill atmosphere. I can't wait to come again & bring everyone I know.
I went here on a Thursday night for dinner with coworkers. There were only two other tables occupied We decided to get a selection of dishes & share it all between us. The food was good, some of it was just okay, but the service was stellar & they played funky 2000's music. The food was easy to share & we had a great time here. Our waiter was really excellent. I ordered the Tibetan tea. It contained a lot of butter (which is normal for this tea) but it was too salty for me. The cheese Momos are yummy. & I really liked the Timo steamed bread. The bindhi masala was good but it had too much turmeric for me. & the Ping Sha was definitely too salty.

I cannot believe how quiet this place was. Even for 20:00 on a Sunday, it should be rammed with people. I was just expecting a standard dining experience really, but when the food came, I couldn't believe how good it was. It was easily some of the best food that I've eaten in a long time - absolutely unbelievable at a great price in great time with a very approachable host. If I were spending more time in Montreal, I'd be eating here all of the time. I simply cannot express how good that food was.
This spot offers good Tibetan food experience. The owner, who's incredibly kind & courteous, recommended the Tibetan tea with crushed walnut-a delightful concoction that not only enhances taste but also revitalizes health. The deliciousness of the Tibetan tea is unparalleled. The generous Thenthuk portions exude a homely essence, while the consistently excellent Momos are a guaranteed delight. (If compared to Toronto serving size of momo is smaller) & let's not forget the Tingmo & Phingsha, truly unmatched! If you find yourself in Montreal, this restaurant is a definite must-visit. Your positive experience shines through-it's a place worth cherishing!
Since we have a young kid, I only go out with my wife once every 3-4 months... so we take special care in choosing our date spots. We spent our last two dates at Om. That's how much we loved it. :) This is a very cozy restaurant. It's easy to just relax & take our time. The food is fantastic. We tasted a bunch of things & everything was excellent. I also felt very well after our dinner, even though I ate quite a lot. In other words : it seems quite healthy. Moreover, the prices are very reasonable. We will be back. Thanks! :)
Excellent service by all the staff & intimate vibes (excellent for friends, family or a date). The food options were varied & good. The dessert was to die for. The prices were very reasonable.
