(Side note: it's unfortunate to see how much homelessness there currently is in Parkdale.) The food here was phenomenal. We don't eat Tibetan food often, but everything was awesome. I highly recommend the Tibetan breakfast--at around $10, you get an incredible amount of food and variety. If you've never tried Tibetan food before, this spot is definitely worth a visit!

When I am in Parkdale, I cannot resist having a new momo experience! There are endless momo places…read moreto try, some are popular and often mentioned in all sorts of media. Others are hidden tiny places which I find by chance. Still others are somewhere in between - not extensively spoken about in the media, but there are people who spread the words among momo lovers - like Garleek Kitchen. I was excited to visit here for the first time. As I was in a hurry between work-related meetings, I did take-out the following momos: I tried: - Steamed Chicken Momos - Pan-fried Beef Momos I liked Pan-fried beef momos as it had good amount of juice inside. Chicken steamed momos were a bit drier with less juice. The wrappers were beautifully sealing the filling, chewy and flavorful, perfectly cooked. The pan-fried one was gives the momo a nice extra crispy texture on the bottom. Just wished there was more fillings - momo felt a bit doughy for the amount of filling, especially the steamed chicken momos. I was impressed by the sauces that came with momo. Carefully prepared with multi-dimensional flavor & texture & spice profiles. Something that is not easily found in any other momo places. This place's side sauces are one of the most enjoyable things here. The service was pleasant, caring and homey - which is what I enjoy most in the Parkdale momo central. I will come back to try their other momo styles!

Mixed feelings about their momos. (Pan fried beef momos & steamed chicken momos)…read moreHave to tell you first, I only had momos for take-out. So my review is quite limited... Loved the wrapper's texture and favour. Not too thin, not too thick. Hand pleated. Nice pure wheat-y flavour. No machine made tastelessness nonsense, which I really appreciated! But the fillings were under-seasoned, felt dry and bland to me. And many of the momos came with their wrappers torn - which may explain their dryness. When waiting for my order, I enjoyed its atmosphere - the unassuming outlook and hippy-way interior, very Kensinton-like place! May be better suited for eat-in, to feel the total ambience to boost my food experience.

Our server was excellent giving us an overview of their signature dishes such as Thenthuk (Tibetan noodle soup) and Tingmo (steamed bread) and these two items go perfectly together...loved it! We also had their Cajun-chilli beef Momo (dumplings) which was delicious. I enjoyed almost all the dishes but I wasn't a huge fan of their steamed chicken Momo as the skin was a bit thick and the meat was a bit dry in the dumpling...probably better if it was deep fried. And I must mention their Chili Chicken was a bomb. And the prices were very reasonable ranging from $13 to $15 per dish. For the four of us, the total bill was $82 including taxes for 4 main dishes, an appetizer and 2 smoothies. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we'll definitely be back!

However the food is great and the service is amazing! Prices are really good too! We paid $20 for the 2 of us. And we got a complimentary beef broth as well! Can't go wrong with that! Our plans are to return to try more. The beef momos are lean but tasty. The chow mein needed some soy sauce cause they were spicy (to me) my friend didn't even notice it. The salt balanced out the spice. But then it was great! Definitely worth coming back to.

My expectation goes high when simply steamed momo is recommended. They make momos freshly to order, so it took 20mins to pick up after the order. Oh the momos were super juicy.

Dipping the plumpy momos into the sauce and bringing it in the mouth - sparks the gentle spiciness which extracts the best of the meaty momos. Heaven. customers The wrapping was a perfect one for the filling. Not too thick, not too thin. The restaurants had a community bulletin board, and the staff were very friendly.

I ordered three different items (butter momos (chicken), chilly momos (beef) and fried momo (potatoes). I really liked the butter momos. The sauce was very tasty. My mom liked the potato fried momo. My mom and I weren't a fan of the chilly beef momo. Also I'm not sure which momo my aunt had previously as she said they were huge. But overall we liked the food.

Food: This restaurant has a selection of unique momos (Tibetan dumplings). For most options you can…read morechoose whether you want them fried or steamed. When it comes to momos, my friend and I agree that beef is best. Kukure momo: A fried momo battered in mashed up Kurkure chips, this one did not give me the flavour punch from the Kurkure chips (Masala Munch?) that I was expecting. Perhaps a sprinkling of the Kurkure chips powder or a sauce to dip in can elevate the taste. Butter chicken momo (steamed): We got chicken and should have got beef. This is a neat fusion of two cuisines but not a top contender for me. Chilli momo (fried): The highlight of my meal and favourite. I will come back to eat this again, it is saucy and has a kick of heat! Service & atmosphere: Comfortable environment, seating ranges for 1 to a group of 6. A nice place for a date, 1:1 meetings, catching up with friends and families. Pricing: For not-your-everyday momo, it was worth a trip, will try the chat momo in a future visit.

The food is delicious,…read morethe portions are generous, but unfortunately, the prices have crept up over the years (which is to be expected in this neighbourhood). The interior is very basic, offering a straightforward food court style. Whether you choose takeout or dine in, the experience is always solid, and the owner always greets customers with a smile. We're fond of their beef rice noodles -- a nice balance of noodles, beef, and bean sprouts, with a touch of wokhei and some umami. The fried rice dishes are also good.

Whilst the interior is small, there is plenty of seating for what is essentially a snack bar, and definitely somewhere I could see myself spending an evening with friends over a good bite.

From the tangy Pani Puri/gol gappe, mouthwatering bhel Puri and "chatpata" chaat, there's really something for everyone! Super flavourful and authentic, with tastes that'll remind you of home. Their paan is definitely the best paan I've ever had here in Canada, and made with love and fast service each time! Whilst it does get quite busy especially later into the night, it's definitely worth waiting for these treats. And if you want a proper immersive experience, there's so many snacks like chili Mili sweets and parle G cookies as well as Masala Lays Chips that will really take you back! One to visit for sure!

Regardless, everything was delicious. I would eat a bowl of Jhol Momo right now with some of their homemade hot sauce. 3 dishes, 2 beers = about $43 + tip!
