Tibet Nepal House - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Pasadena, California

My friend and I came at around 2:50 not realizing this place actually closed for the afternoon at 3. They still, very graciously, let us in! Our waiter (the owner I'm assuming?) kept emphasizing that we should take our time and to not worry about anything. He was super patient even though we were cutting into his break time and I could just tell that was just generally a great guy to talk to. We order the yak momos, chicken momos, tikka masala, and garlic nan! I'd never tried Nepalese food and this was a great introduction. The momo skins were so thin and expertly made!! And the spices in the momos didn't really taste familiar at all but it was very delicious. The downside of this place is definitely parking, but this is a similar problem for all Pasadena restaurants. I believe you'll more likely than not have to pay for parking, but there are plenty of garages and street parking around. read more

tldr: check this place out ASAP. Get momos and a thali! Try this place if you've never had Nepalese food. I'm an Indian American, and before I came here I had never tried it. I came with a group, so we were really eager to share appetizers. We got the vegetable momos and the apricot naan. I had never had either of these before, and my mind was BLOWN AWAY by how incredible they were. A momo is like a dumpling, with its outside texture. But its filled with all of the familiar South Asian flavors and spices. I highly recommend this. The apricot naan was also good. I had never even fathomed the idea of something like that. We also got the house sampling platter, which is great for sharing with a group of 2-3 people. We all order thalis, and that is a must! You get so much for the price. I got lamb curry which mine, and there was so much food. I haven't had a thali in a while, and this one was delicious. I love thalis because it gives you a selection of a lot of dishes. read more

I loveee the food here!!! I usually get an order of vegetable samosas, which comes with the yummiest tamarind sauce. Then I order the non vegetable lunch special, with my choice of chicken tikka masala, plus an order of garlic cheese naan. The tikka masala is the best I've ever had, it's so rich and creamy. The service is always the best here, they are so nice! Love the space and the lighting, I will continue coming back. read more

After learning about Tibet and Nepal, I wanted to take my students to try Himalayan food. The restaurant was incredibly accommodating, opening an hour early to prepare food for 35 sixth graders. The students and faculty could not stop raving about the food- the tikka masala and palak paneer were the best I've had, and the chow mein had incredible depth of flavor with a nice kick. The aloo gobi and momos were a hit as well. I've never seen kids devour food that was so new to them with such enthusiasm. We came across town to try the food, and all of us can't wait to return. Agan made the children feel welcome, pointed out and explained the beautiful artwork, photos, prayer wheels, and statues decorating the restaurant, and made sure to accommodate various food allergies (nuts, dairy, wheat, vegetarian, etc). My mouth is watering just recalling the food. read more

Tibet Nepal House is in a quiet edge of Old Town Pasadena serving Himalayan food from Tibet and Nepal. The walls are covered with artwork depicting life in Himalayan villages and snow covered mountain landscapes. The mountains must be calling because I just ordered a piping hot bowl of Himalayan Thukpa on a 90 degree day in April. Thukpa is a noodle soup from Tibet. The noodles are house-made flat narrow stands of linguine. The soup has curry-like spices such as cardamom, cumin, and turmeric, plus ginger and garlic. There are thin narrow strips of chicken, lamb, and fried eggs. There's a generous amount of delicious vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, and broccoli. This is comforting and nourishing food. Parking: Old Town has some free 90-minute parking structures in Colorado and Green. read more

Loved most dishes we ordered! Coconut Shrimps, Vegetable Koma, Samosa, Mulligatwany Soup, Rice and Garlic Naan. Only complaint is the Samosa came in 2 small pieces for $7 is steep. Also the soup was tiny for $7 as well (not a fan of it, probably won't order that one again). Over all the food was delicious! Shrimp was our favorite! Staff is very friendly and attentive too! read more

Food is quality and made to order. Employees seem to be a family or relatives. I sense a family member/s are in the kitchen which in itself can be comforting because such places generally care what comes out of their kitchen. This restaurant has been around at the same location for over 20+ years. I eat there 2-4 times a year; would eat there more frequently except for the metered parking. Consistently good food and service over all those years. Prices are reasonable and they don't zing you for a credit card usage. Gracious service, quiet atmosphere, and this is a place that could be aptly described lovingly as "a hole in the wall." Parking can be at door or nearly at door if you don't mind metered street parking. If you park a couple of blocks away, it is free street parking. read more

If you're looking for an amazing authentic, culinary and cultural experience from Nepal with hints of India, China, and the entire region look no further. This place is as OG as you can get.

The food here was absolutely amazing and very affordable. This place was located on a very urban-esque and cute little spot in Pasadena. The service was absolutely amazing. Once I had entered inside the place with my friend we were immediately met with warmth and hospitality and sat pretty quick with a good view of the street. :) read more

What went well, you ask? Pretty much everything. This has become our go to restaurant when in Pasadena area and we usually coming from 50 mi. away. Always promptly seated with a smile here. Atmosphere in this venue is quaint, cozy, and very appealing, especially in the rainy, colder weather. Usually get our waiter working on the soup and drink part of our order, while we continue to eyeball the menu for the entrees of choice. Very tuff to not over order here, extensive menu,have never really ordered anything didn't like. Tandooris, curries, breads, soups, appetizers, all authentic and delicious. If you never tried Indian food, when this place gets through with you, you will be a fan for sure. Enjoy! read more

I was by myself and asked the waiter to make a mix of small items to put over rice. Spinach paneer, dal, tofu in small bowls. A mango lahsi for drink. All excellent and healthy food. read more

First time trying this place, ambiance was came when they opened so it was kinda quiet but can see this place getting a little louder. Had chicken tika masala, vegetable samosa. Jasmin rice and chicken momo. Mogatwahni soup was excellent. The ice tea we did not like it was very very bitter to us. Would definitely come back they had a lot of flavors I had never had before. The only other thing I couldn't get or try was the aloo achar dipping sauce, was cool but it was very different to anything I've ever had it was like citrus smoke and dry seasonings. But the chicken momo was delicious. read more

The chicken tandoori was the best I've ever had. When it was served it was piping hot and incredibly moist. Service was great. Place was full on early Saturday evening. Make reservations, they turned away a party of three. Wine and three kinds of Indian beer. Can't wait to go back! read more

I really enjoyed the tikka misala they had, would definitely come back just for that! I also had the garlic naan, which was also tasty. The wait for the food was a little long it was a busy night. Otherwise the service was very good and the restaurant itself had a nice interior. Overall had a great experience, took a star off because of wait but if you were to go at lunch, I would assume that you would get your food quicker. read more

Amazing food!! I came here on a Wednesday for dinner and the service was amazing! I ordered their paneer masala and this was my first time trying it and it was everything I could've asked for and more. We ordered two dishes and was about to order 2 sides of rice and 1 side of garlic naan but was recommended to order 1 side of rice and 2 sides of garlic naan. The service was amazing and I would recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

This is probably one of my favorite places in Pasadena so far. I visited a while back specifically to try their yak momos, and left pleasantly full with some delicious leftovers. The person who was working that day may have been the owner, and he was sweet, polite, and quiet. He was very attentive and made sure my water was never empty. Along with the momos, I ordered a chai tea, Matter paneer, and naan. I'd never had yak before, and I thought it had an interesting gamey flavor. The consistency was fine and what you'd expect of more common meats in the US. I definitely recommend trying this item if you haven't had yak before. The matter paneer was awesome. It was spiced well and the paneer was cooked just right. I was able to take most of this home and enjoy it another day. The naan was average but tasty nonetheless. I finished it all at the table because I don't like keeping leftover breads. This restaurant definitely needs some love because it's small and a bit hidden; it's not on a main and heavily walked street in Pasadena. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth walking a few streets from Colorado or Union to check this place out. read more

Also, the owner (I think) is funny and like to making some jokes while making sure everything is good! :D read more

This place is legit sooooooo bomb. You know the food is good when your body can't help but dance as you take every bite. I love that they're a small business that's been around since 2001.

The "Tibet Nepal House" is a real dining experience. We dined early - Sunday at six pm. The establishment is on Holly Street in the "Old Town" district of Pasadena. The food was delish !! The restaurant shares the street with many small boutique specialty shops. Those shops unfortunately were closed . We plan on visiting those hidden gems in the afternoon and will definitely return to taste the luncheon specialty items from the Tibet Nepal House. Both of us have had dishes from other Himalayan restaurants. Our expectations were similar to what we had tasted before. These dishes however did not compare to anything we had before. This is what Himalayan food should always be. Why wasn't it ? We were blown away, and we hadn't had any wine? to cloud our judgement. Each dish here has a very unique flavor and texture. The sauces were not soupy;there were substantial for seasoning the chicken or shrimp dishes were perfectly prepared; made to order. We are a senior couple? and enjoy our evenings out. That evening we ordered two specialty entrees (one that included naan ) . The entrees provided us extra to take home. *jusy want to mention here that this restaurant has a very large selection of specialty naan's. I would have loved to have ordered all of them! If only I was in my 20's again! There are many fine colleges populating the area. It wouldn't me if the restaurant offered them specialty Naan Pizza's !! At the end of the meal we enjoyed a lovely Pot of Chai Tea. It's brewed the original way with the milk gently folded in. On conclusion everything was wonderful, and we plan on returning soon. One small note is I have a disability. My accessibility rights per the ADA allows me freedom in many places. You all can thank the ADA reforms for the sloped curb cuts everyone enjoys, my own experience walking ( or you may wheel) through the restaurant hallway out to the private accessible bathroom was easy. The toilet chair height for transfers or ease sitting or standing. My partner has already mentioned "Adam" your host. He's a specialist in Tibetan culture, and food. If you don't have time to dine here we saw many orders waiting being picked up for the local crowd. read more

We stumbled upon this place by accident and within 2 minutes of seeing it for the first time, we were inside and ready to enjoyed a good meal (I don't turn down opportunities to eat Indian food often). The Tibet Nepal House looks small on the outside but there is plenty of room for comfortable indoor dining. Nicely decorated with lots of Nepalese Prayer Wheels, Buddhas of all sizes and interesting artwork there is a welcoming vibe here. While TNH is one of the view places in Los Angeles which serves Yak (flown in from Colorado), we thought we would pass and go with more familiar dishes for our first venture. We had a nice lunch with the House Appetizer Sample Platter, Chicken Tikki Masala, Daal, Tofu Saag, Rice, Papadums and a big bottle of King Fisher Beer. Everything was enjoyable. Most of the food was gone before I thought to take photos. The only critique I would offer is If you like spicy then ask for extra spicy. We ordered medium spice and there was zero heat. Next time I'm going to ask for super spicy! Other than that, we were happy. The service was friendly and the one guy on the floor was doing his best to keep up with the tables and all of the to-go orders. We enjoyed our experience at the Tebet Nepal House and we will definitely be back. read more

We swung by for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was fairly quiet, but lovely day. We ordered the lentil soup, vegetable mo-mo, aloo gobi, along with white rice and garlic naan to share. It was delicious. Note that they're generous with their cilantro as a garnish, which was a total plus for me but not so much for my friend. Great meal and highly recommend for anyone who hasn't tried. Note that they close early (maybe for a break?)/check their hours for last call. read more
