It's hard for me to claim that this is "amazing Tibetan food" since I have no basis for comparison - just never had other Tibetan food here nor anywhere else in the world. What I did get home delivered last night was some solid tasteful, spicy oriental cuisine.
From VinitaBhatia's review, I believe we were speaking to Uncle John when ordering, who exhibited a ton of patience while we tried hard to explain that we wanted vegetarian food, but not fried, healthy, but not boiled, dry vegetables, but not bone dry. He crafted a meal of vegetarian flat garlic noodles, vege bamboo rice and a fairly dry dish of lightly glazed fresh vegetables.
Everything was good - tasteful, spicy and went well together. My favourite was the bamboo rice, especially with this dark garlic chili paste on the side. I'd love to understand what Tibetan cuisine is really like by having some basis for comparison, but until then, Sernyaa will be my go-to Tibetan eatery.
