OM est décrit comme une adresse où la nourriture est délicieuse et le service chaleureux à des prix raisonnables, avec une cuisine tibétaine et indienne authentique et un éventail de plats comme les momos, le curry et les soupes qui séduisent, y compris des options végétariennes savoureuses. Ambiance est généralement conviviale et cosy, décorée avec goût et parfois agrémentée d'une terrasse agréable; accueil est souvent salué pour sa disponibilité et sa simplicité. Des avis soulignent efficacité du service, valeur et sentiment de plats faits maison et préparés avec amour, ainsi qu'une attention portée à chaque détail. Quelques notes critiques évoquent des attentes élevées et une expérience qui peut varier selon les plats, mais dans l'ensemble OM est perçu comme une découverte agréable et un endroit où revenir avec plaisir.
My experience at Om Tibetan restaurant was extremely disappointing from start to finish.
The momos were, without exaggeration, the worst I have ever had. The wrappers were thick & doughy, the filling was bland & lacked seasoning, & everything tasted either undercooked or poorly reheated. There was no freshness, no authentic flavor, & no care in preparation.
The service was equally bad. The waitress was inattentive, dismissive, & unprofessional throughout the visit. Instead of focusing on improving the dining experience, she repeatedly hinted at & directly asked for a higher tip, which made the entire experience uncomfortable & inappropriate. Tipping should reflect service quality, not be pressured out of customers.
Overall, terrible food, terrible service, & an unpleasant atmosphere. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for good Tibetan food or even basic customer service.
We were warmly welcomed by Gérard, Om's owner for the last 22 years. Although he was born in Montreal, the restaurant is a tribute to his parents' Tibetan culture.
The atmosphere is lovely: it's decorated with some Tibetan art, candles were lit & smooth jazz was playing in the background.
Since we just wanted a light bite, we had the mulligatawny soup & shared some Momos. Wiith a little salt, the soup was very good. The Momo's were tough to cut but good. We preferred the mint sauce to the tamarind sauce.
It was really interesting to speak to Gérard, who said that he's been there so many years that he has seen children grow up & become adults who come to the restaurant on their own! He was very friendly & open.
We were there close to closing time on a Sunday evening so it was quiet. I'm guessing it gets busy at other moments!
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 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.

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!
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 !

I truly enjoyed the hosts, nice & warm people, great service.
BUT, I wish to speak about the food, after all it is the main reason of this review.
The momos (dumplings) were quite good
Chick peas (chana masala) were below the quality standards expected. Not hot enough & just ok.
The butter chicken was good, missing a dash of salt but very tender chicken.
The naan bread was sub par. The Tibetan steamed bread(timo) roll was ok.
The Tibetan spicy beef (sha-ka-tsa) was very good.full of flavor, spicy & sauce was delicious. The beef was fondue meat yet the menu indicated beef strips, not the same thing.
In my opinion, try to stick to the Tibetan menu rather than the Indian menu.
Price was average, not that economic nor too expensive. +/- 30$/person, beer, no dessert, no coffee.
