    Shrimp curry & garlic naan
    Laura E.

    Very happy to have found a delicious Indian/Tibetan restaurants a few blocks from home. I almost left because I didn't see anyone working at the front and only 2 other people were sitting outside. I'm SO glad I didn't! I ordered the shrimp curry (mild) and garlic naan. Curry had a kick without being overly spicy. It soaked up the side of basmati rice very well. Garlic naan was soft and did not dry out easily when I had leftovers yesterday night. The server (owner?) was super friendly and welcoming! Prices were reasonable and I didn't have to wait long for my food. I recently moved to Hopkins and look forward to being a regular!

    We have had better Momo and Tibetan noodle soup. The momo wrap was very thick and the dipping sauce was basic.

    Tibet Corner is phenomenal! I've had the Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Momos, Garlic Naan, Vindaloo + Tibetan Chow Mein. I love that they adjust to your preferred spice levels too, if you want spicy they'll give you spicy. The service here is also unmatched. The owner and everyone that works there is so attentive and kind. It's the perfect cozy place for the best cozy food. I've become a regular here and plan to continue to visit!

    Butter Chicken
    Steve S.

    Almost four stars. The food is tasty and menu offers a nice range of vegetarian and meat entrees. However, services was slow and it felt like they may be understaffed. Perhaps a result of the labor shortage so many service and retail establishments are facing. That being said, this spit brings a welcome bit of culture of the downtown Hopkins area and is definitely worth checking out.

    The owner is an absolute LEGEND, and the food is top notch! This was on our Hopkins bucket list since moving here, and it didn't disappoint. The owner is mainly doing takeout only right now, and since he was missing a staff member that night hadn't planned to provide dine in service. But he welcomed us in and gave great service! The CHAI. All I'm gonna say, is you have to taste it to believe it. Dreams really do come true. My partner wouldn't stop stealing sips! I got the butter chicken and it was flavorful and creamy- spot on. My partner got an absolute mountain of lamb biryani and he loved the flavors and sauce. The owner chatted with us when he was free and is a total gem. He had us laughing constantly! While we were there, several folks came in for takeout and one even paid for the next strangers' tab! You can tell this is a local favorite.  We'll be back!

    I can't believe I've lived 5 minutes from here for the last 7 years and am only now just finding Tibet Corner! I came here last night with my spouse and mother in law. We chose to sit on the patio, which was super spacious and completely covered, so even on a hot day felt nice since we were shaded from the sun. The menu is pretty expansive, so it was a little tough to decide. We ended up ordering the edamame, samosas, and chicken lollipops to start. Hands down the chicken lollipops were the best appetizer. We also ordered beef momos, lamb curry, and beef shap-ta. All were amazing, and with some naan delicious to dip into the extra sauce. The manager was incredibly friendly and helped point us toward a variety of dishes that were super satisfying. We had more than enough food, and finished our meal with enough left overs for today's lunch!

    Tibetan Beef Shap-Ta
    Steven D.

    Spoiler alert...it's on the corner! :-) We thoroughly enjoyed all dishes ordered and the owners were very kind and service oriented. The ambiance definitely needs a designers touch however! Samosa starter was fantastic as was the butter chicken and chicken tandoor. I had the Tibetan Beef Shap-Ta which was packed with flavor and the medium spice was just enough for me to tolerate as a spice wimp. Loved the garlic naan. It was quiet on a Monday, but take out was active. Definitely a good option, hope they spend a couple of bucks improving the dining decor.

    Dal ($11), made vegan. Great texture, but overly salty.

    Tibet Corner, located in downtown Hopkins, offers Tibetan and North Indian food. It's not bad, but not great. If you want better Tibetan food, go to Tibet Kitchen on Nicollet in Minneapolis. The menu labels its vegan/veganizable dishes, which is enormously helpful. The vegetable samosa ($6) is vegan and pretty good. The handmade noodle soup (then-thuk) ($11) is vegan by default, but I didn't love it. The noodles are nice, but the soup had a dour savory flavor that failed to impress. The veg potato bean (alo phing) ($11) is vegan by default and an unremarkable potato/pea curry with glass noodles. The dal ($11) can be made vegan. I loved the texture of the lentils and the thickness of the base, but the flavor didn't pop. It was also too salty. Unfortunately Tibet Corner doesn't offer any vegan breads (it only has naan, which is made with yogurt). I'd definitely come back to Tibet Corner, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    Butter chicken, lamb vindaloo, garlic naan, mango lassi! Everything was amazing!
    Mariam R.

    We ordered food to be delivered because we were craving Indian food and there aren't many Indian restaurants that delivered close to us. This place is definitely a hidden gem! I have driven by this restaurant many times but have never tried it. It's a humble looking restaurant from it's exterior but don't let that deter you. The Indian food here is more authentic than I have tried at traditional "Indian" restaurants. The more popular ones tend to have a ton of heavy cream as the curry base which isn't traditional in most Indian dishes. The curries are also milder. That is not the case at this restaurant. Their curries are packed with flavor and they aren't bland either. And not too spicy at the same time! I loved it! I tried their mango lassi, lamb vindaloo and butter chicken with garlic naan. Everything was top notch. The vindaloo and butter chicken wasn't as creamy as most Indian restaurants but again - it was more authentic. It tasted amazing! Make sure to check this place out if you want to taste more traditional flavors.

    Chicken 65
    Michael O.

    Great establishment with a mix of Tibetan and Indian cuisine. They have done the pivot (as most restaurants) with a focus on take out. So on your way in you see the table(s) with orders ready for pick up. We opted to eat in and were really glad we did. We had the fish pakora and the chicken 65 (see pick). These were both Minnesota friendly and served with both tamarin and mint chutney. We also asked for a hot sauce. If you like heat and flavor, you should do the same. The naans were excellent as was the Alu Sha. My son had the butter shrimp and he ate it all. Everything tasted fresh and was very flavorful. Looking forward to returning in the near future.

    It was my first time ordering from here but it will not be my last. From start to finish my dinner…read morewas five-star. First the Butter Chicken spicy was an omg-this-is-sooo-good mumble at first bite because the spice level was perfect, the chicken thighs succulent and meaty, and that sauce was a savory flavor bomb. I've always been a curry or tikki masala kind of chicken eater but this Butter Chicken blows those away. A must try. Good grief I'm salivating writing about it. The Garlic Naan was a perfect sauce-sopper for the Butter Chicken. I wish they offered pots of fresh chutneys with the naan, but that's ok. That's really minor. Lemon Rice sounded fresh and refreshing but holy spice, Batman! It was unexpectedly deliciously hot and had a deep lemon flavor. Cooked with whole roasted spices, slices of peppers and curry leaves this was a top favorite. Some of the whole spice things (not sure what they were tbh) were hard but most added a crunchy texture. The soups I had, Sweet Corn Soup and Hot & Sour Soup were home runs. Both had plenty of veggies and packed a spicy kick. The H&S soup was not like you'll get at Chinese or other Asian restaurants, but it was hot and not sour. It's just different but still so delicious. There are so many vegetarian dishes on the menu everyone should be able to eat well.

    Such a bummer experience! I did a takeout order for two orders of butter chicken (which I had from…read moreKadai just last week and LOVED) and a sag paneer. Unfortunately I received two chicken tikka masala, not the butter chicken. Additionally there was no rice for the order. My husband called to let them know the order was not correct and Kadai said what we received WAS butter chicken-- apparently they use the same sauce for both butter chicken and tikka masala? Hmm. We'd had the butter chicken just last week so we know what that tastes like- it's super good! And we've had the chicken tikka from Kadai before (see my previous review) and it has a distinct taste that I don't personally prefer. Kadai was adamant that the only difference between the two is that chicken tikka has onions and bell pepper. Inconsistent experience and disappointing customer service.

The young host was running around looking very flustered, which made the vibe feel way more chaotic. Thankfully, it looked like the owner noticed and helped take over organizing the staff and getting guests arranged at tables. We noticed they have a really fun cafe setup called The Corner Café with its own window in the corner. It was closed when we were there, but it turns out they actually operate as a full-service artisan coffee shop during the morning and afternoon, serving Spyhouse coffee and pastries before shifting entirely to fine dining at night! For dinner, my husband ordered the sticky cauliflower as an appetizer and declared it "the best cauliflower 'chicken' bites he's ever had"--he also absolutely loved the white sauce it came with. He also got the mango yuzu drink which was super refreshing. For entrees, we ordered the coconut curry, which had a great flavor and wasn't overly sweet (which can sometimes happen when a kitchen overdoes the coconut milk). I ordered the Delhi butter chicken. The waiter mentioned that their spice scale is a "Minnesota spice" scale, so I felt safe upgrading to medium since I usually order mild. Flavor-wise, it had a bit too much tomato flavor for my personal preference, but it was still well prepared and the pieces of chicken had a lovely, smoky flavor.

We started off with the vegetable platter, which features three delicious vegetarian appetizers. In addition to vegetable pakoras and samosas, there was bhajita, spinach and onion stuffed potato wedges. These came with delicious little cups of chutney--one mint and one tamarind. This appetizer was a hit, even for the most devoted carnivore in the party. We also tried the pashwari naan--it's a sweet naan that is filled with coconut and golden raisins. My mom in particular loved it. It would be a wonderful foil for a spicy curry. For our mains, mom ordered the kebab, which came with dal (we picked the golden lentil dal, and I might possibly have had "just a taste" several times. (Verdict: it's yummy!) I ordered the paneer chili balti, a comforting balti that is sweet, savory, and salty with warming spices. The rice was also exactly right--fluffy, perfectly salted, and just the right texture. We also got the mango chutney, which is a tart, sweet, salty, savory, amazing flavor bomb. Try it at least once. For dessert, we shared the kulfee and ras malai. These aren't on the menu at every Indian restaurant, and since first having tried them (at India Palace, in fact), I know that they'll always be my first choice when I see them, especially the kulfee. Holy wow. As usual, the service was great--friendly, attentive, prompt, and helpful, the staff here makes sure you get what you need. Despite the fairly full house, it was easy to have a conversation. This is a relaxing place to enjoy a meal. The music is quiet, the decor interesting, and the seating comfortable.
