Love this place family business, lovely owner, and he cooks with great care and heart. We ordered the beef momos for my child, and they gave a chili sauce with a mild spice level perfect for kids. My child absolutely loved it, even though they are usually very picky with food. Thank you so much — it was worth waiting a little longer. The traditional music can transport your imagination, making you feel as if you’re in a small Tibetan village. I highly recommend it to locals, tourists, and families.

My usual coffee place was shut today, so I came here and ordered a bacon, cheese and egg crepe and a latte. The atmosphere was beautiful and it felt like a place I could sit and write for a while with no pressure. Took a little longer than I'm used to for food to arrive but everything was hot, fresh, and high quality so absolutely worth it.

I dream about the momo soup from Ama cafe regularly 🤤 this soup is life changing, and just feels like a warm hug in a bowl! This cafe is a must try if you are in the area! We also had crepes and coffee, which were also perfect 🩷 can’t wait for our next visit!

An absolute must - equally excellent Tibetan food and western desserts. I've had the then-thuk, momo soup, buttermilk pancakes, and Himalayan crepe over my visits here and they've all been fantastic. The cafe also has a great tea selection - I recommend the Magic Nights black tea.

Tibetan foods here are unique. Momo dumpling and Thentuk soup are recommended! Very enjoyable when the weather is cold.

As travelers from Chile, we were very happy with the service; furthermore, every dish had a unique and incomparable flavor. This restaurant is characterized by its humility, kindness, warmth, family-friendly atmosphere, and a great welcome. It is definitely a place that no one passing through should miss.

My partner and I had a fantastic first visit! The place is popular for a reason — everyone, including the staff, was incredibly friendly. The food was absolutely delicious; we devoured the Bacon & Egg Crepe in no time! The ButterMilk Pancakes were amazing too !!

I generally loved the experience and would recommend it to anyone interested in trying something different. A wide range of loose leaf tea and a few Tibetan dishes that you can't find elsewhere. The prices are reasonable and the service is ok, although at times it can be a bit slow due to being understaffed.

This was a great choice for a brunch. Went with crepes, aoup and momos and none of them disappointed. Portions vs price is more than justifiable. Everything is fresh and tasty. Any eastern european or mountain habitants would be blown away. Best of luck and prosperity!
