I have always been fascinated by Tibet, whether it's their magical monasteries, monks, quaint natural beauty, dignified Dalai Lama, ethereal Everest or their simple delish cuisine. When a friend of my mentioned about this hidden gem, I could not stop myself visiting it. In art affectionate Wesleyan's home, Middletown, yes Tibetan Kitchen, Middletown, CT is a tiny piece of an art in its own way. Scarlet walls with Tibetan accents like Buddha and delightful portrait of Dalai Lama brought little Tibet inside this charming place. A little dream of mine became a reality as we entered into this Tibetan Kitchen with a vintage yet cherry, warm yet humble, eclectic oriental casual space.
For our main, we opted for Noodles and Tibetan bread because we have not tasted either before. The Tibetan bread(Shogo Ngopa) comes with a layered bread and potato gravy with Spinach and Tomatoes. The bread pretty much resembles Indian Lassa Paratha, and the potato gravy is similar to Indian potato curry with the lovely addition of spinach and little chunks of tomatoes. The noodle(Tsel-Gyathuk Ngopa) was simple yet quite different from Chinese or Thai take. The raving part was the freshness that oozes with a slightly spicy taste, fresh vegetables(celery, carrots, cabbage, spinach), and chunky, succulent tofu.
As soon as dessert menu arrived, my kids were excited to order Gulam(Cheese balls in sugery syrup) Jamun. It was as sweet and plum as Indian Gulab Jamun with a dash of coconut flakes. Tibetan Kitchen menu was easy to follow with a generous serving at a reasonable price and great options for vegetarian as well. An evening ended with charm, warmth and delicious food.
