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.
Le propriétaire prend le temps de nous accueillir & nous expliquer tous les plats. Nous avons opté pour des momos au boeuf parfaits à partager, la soupe Then Thuk savoureuse & vraiment réconfortante, le Sha-Kat-Sta au boeuf vraiment bien assaisonné. Nous avons aussi commandé 2 thés au beurre, une spécialité à essayer. Le service est courtois & rapide, nous avons très bien mangé, en bonne quantité & pour un rapport qualite/quantite/prix vraiment plus que raisonnable!
Une super expérience ! Nous sommes venus un peu tard & le service a été impeccable & d'une extrême gentillesse. La cuisine est très bonne & les suggestions aussi. Recommandé à 100 %
Wow wow 🤩 what an amazing restaurant, can’t have enough of the delicious,authentic food slurp slurp. Butter chicken, lentil soup & chaw mein noodles are must must must try.

Warning : do not come here for a birthday , especially for a double birthday., this will be a long candid review
We went to this restaurant since my mom ( one of the birthdays) was recommended this restaurant & we love trying food so we figured why not.
The staff consisted of a really nice older gentleman, a brunette & blonde waitress.
The first issue : We first dropped off my mother & grandmother ( who had a clear tag of low visibility/blindness on her) had an issue with the seating. They had wanted to place us ( made a reservation for 5) on a 4 seater table with a chair on the edge glued to the wall. It was explained to them that we would need extra space as we are 5 & with someone with low visibility, therefore requiring extra space. The blonde waitress , said that they had a reservation for a big party coming in after us & couldn't give us the bigger table ( which would have fit 5 people comfortably, not glued to the wall); however the brunette waitress checked & said there were no other reservations so we were able to get the big table; great.
Once we were seated, the elder gentleman came over to explain to us briefly the menu & asked what we'd want for appetizers ( we ordered each momo except the shrimp ) to try & then he said he would go prepare them.
Waited another 20 mins since it seemed that our waitress ( blonde) didn't want to help us but came & took our order. I want to make note that she did not check on us once during the whole service to ask if the food was good or if we needed anything else; instead her amazing colleagues did.
Food :
Momos: were all very good, personally I wasn't a fan of the cheese one since it was sweet but still very good
Churu Soup- probably the most underwhelming experience, the blue cheese was there & lamb but it was completely unseasoned no matter how much I mixed it. I then decided to drink from the bowl directly to notice towards the end that all the spices were at the bottom but not mixed into the soup
Sha-Kat-Sta- the best & most flavourful dish out of the whole evening, would recommend
Vegetarian Curry- flavour was very bland & we asked for spicy but was given mild, the brunette waitress was kind enough to get us extra hot chili to mix into it .
Timo- very interesting texture & flavour , tastes really good when you dip into the curries , would recommend
Naan- so a lot of reviews on Google & yelp said that it was Costco brand naan, however we checked it & can tell that it was home made, a bit too charred but good
Steamed rice - opt out if you can, very inconsistent with the two bowls that we've received
Chow mein: the birthday girl was really disappointed. My dad made sure to ask for extra crispy noodles, however as you can see in the pictures , not a single crispy noodle in sight. We told my mom we can ask to send back to the kitchen to have it fixed , however it was nearly impossible to even get our waitress attention ( the blonde one) to do that so we just ate it.
There are a few event dishes to try, but the service is not worth it as a sit down experience, which is disappointing considering you have the Spanish Club, Sabor Latino & Darlings surrounding that area.
To the waitress, I've done food service before as mentioned in a few of my other reviews, but you definitely need to smile more & put more effort , we all are going through it but please don't let it reflect in your job to future clients .
our first time in a tibetan restaurant & we really liked it ! people were really nice & the restaurant were opening late. plus there were plenty of vegan/vegetarian options, i recommend you to order the sweet puri & the mango lassi if you can !

Belle découverte! Service sympathique avec de bons conseils de la part du serveur. Les plats étaient très gouteux. Nous avons pris le bryamie (oups, pas sûre du nom...qqchose qui ressemble à ça en 2k ;) ) aux crevettes...vraiment délicieux, bonne cuisson des crevettes & bon goût. Ensuite, agneau au curry...l'agneau était tellement tendre, se défaisait à la fourchette! Très bon rapport qualité/prix, je vais y retourner!
Nous avons découvert ce restaurant a l'aide d'un coupon.
Ce que j'ai aimé était l'entrée de momo aux crevettes, c'était délicieux & les 3 personnes qui m'accompagnaient aussi ont adorées
Pour le repas principal, j'ai prise les crevettes Birmanie, c'était bon. Pour le poulet au beurre les hommes ont bien appréciés & le poulet aux cari semblait bien.
Par contre le pain Naan & mou & goûtait fade. C’était ordinaire.
Le dessert & bien tout le monde a apprécié.
Le service était tres bien. Le choix de vin était correct. Je dirais que les boissons étaient un peu cher, mais bon, si on n'en prend c'est un choix.
Une excellente adresse pour découvrir la cuisine tibétaine. Nous avons reçu de nombreux conseils de la part du serveur pour le choix de nos plats. Il y a un large choix de plats végétariens (momos, nouilles,etc.). Le cadre est agréable car le restaurant donne sur une rue passante & l'ambiance reste intime.
Nous avons découvert ce restaurant grâce à un coupon Groupon. Nous avons passé une très belle soirée, avec un service impeccable dans une belle ambiance calme. Nous avons pris les légumes tempura & les momos aux crevettes, accompagnée d'une sauce à la menthe & une sauce au tamarin. En plat principal, un plat de boeuf avec oignons & poivrons, & un cari de crevettes. Tout était très frais & bon.Il y avait la possibilité d'avoir de la sauce piquante à côté pour booster le plat (je mange très épicé & ma conjointe non, donc c'est pratique). En dessert, un gâteau au chocolat & des boules au fromage dans le sirop (dessert indien), le tout avec un lassi à la mangue.Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre expérience & y retournerons surement! Service impeccable & empressé. Une belle découverte sur le plateau!
