Having heard good things about this unique restaurant we took our GroupOn receipt and headed over on a Tuesday night. Though the food was good it was not as spectacular as we expected. The set meal was very starchy though not everything on the menu has as many carbs. The service was pleasant but we had to ask twice for... More

We had supper here with another couple last weekend. This was our first visit, and likely not our last. Service was very friendly (felt like a family type atmosphere). This is a small casual restaurant, nicely decorated, and the lighting made it feel more intimate despite tables being fairly close together. We started with a appetizer sampler with at least... More

Dinner Special :glass of wine, app,main dessert all for $32. The flavors were amazing,portions perfect and even without the special I found the price point very fair. The complex flavors exemplifies a proprietor who puts her heart and soul into cooking. It was a relief sitting down in an unpretentious setting with straight forward ethnic food. If I lived in...

There is nothing wrong with this restaurant except that you can get similar food that is far better for less at about a dozen restaurants in Victoria. There's a certain new age pretentiousness surrounding this place that I do not understand. Once enough people have been twice and realize that the emperor's clothes consist of bland, salty, over-priced pseudo-Noodle Box... More

My husband and I went to try the Tibetan cuisine, which had a very interesting taste. It was similar to Indian food, but not quite so spicy. We had the three-course meal, which consisted of a mixed appetizer plate, curry (either beef, pork or vegetarian) and dessert. The food was all very good and arrived at our table in a... More

Tibetan food, a mixture of Indian and Chinese foods, is a great change of pace and these folks do it very well. The taste is great and you can choose how hot you'd like it when you order. Quite traditional dishes and flavours. We will definitely return. A nice surprise.

The Tibetan Kitchen Cafe in Victoria, BC is just the spot for an incredible lunch or dinner. With an intimate feel, and casually attentive wait staff, it's just the spot for the wonderful mix of Indian and Chinese that is Tibetan! Prices range from $6-20. I began with an appetizer of Pakoras, a deep fried collection of veggies garnished in... More

I dream about the curry at Tibetan Kitchen - the cashew nut curry base tastes so creamy and rich, but does not have any heavy creams, making it a healthy alternative to many other Indian curries found in Victoria restaurants. I love the staff and the atmosphere is wonderful. I recommend to go to the restaurant extra hungry because the... More

Perhaps we aren't familiar with Tibetan Food. We found the food tasteless! We were very disappointed with the Tibetan beef and chicken curry dish we had. The server was sweet, but being Japanese she wasn't able to direct us in the ordering process. It was inexpensive by Victoria standards.
