Reviews of Cafe Shambala

Teiste

Fantastic place if you're looking for something different than Indian or Chinese food with excellent vegetarian dishes. The place has it's charm , kind of an old restaurant and the service is great. If you're vegan or vegetarian , you have plenty of options here.My favorite are the fried tofu and also the Shambala vegetarian sampler plate (the Momo is superb). Excellent service , parking could be a little bit tricky (it's located in the avenues , so not the easiest place to park around) but totally worth it to stop by and enjoy good quality food at a great price.

My first time trying Cafe Shambala! I picked up the food and then had to travel 40 minutes to my destination.. I knew I would be ready to write a great review even after just smelling the food on the ride. It also traveled incredibly well! I ordered the Shambala Vegetarian Plate and all of it was 10/10. So flavorful, plentiful, and just overall delicious. The atmosphere and staff were fantastic and friendly. Highly recommend!

Cafe Shambala never disappoints. Their food is full of flavor and fresh. Love seeing fresh vegetables being chopped in the back. Great take out option, the food travels well. Their momos are delicious fried or steamed, however I always ask for extra dipping sauce. Friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommend. Photo is the veggie curry and half order of momos.

This is my new favourite restaurant in SLC!! I got the veggie plate with steamed momos and lentil soup (only $11.25 and $2.75!!), it is DELICIOUS, and the serving is big enough for three meals. The spicy sauce and ginger sauce on the tables are so delicious. Everything is made fresh. Beautiful Tibetan music, kind staff, peaceful atmosphere. This is my new regular spot. I feel like a took a lovely little vacation. Thankful for such a nice lunch

Patricia Lo Galatro

Delicious!!! My husband and I came here for lunch and loved our meal! I got the Veggie Fried Noodles and he got the Shambala Vegetarian Plate. The veggies in my dish were fresh and cooked perfectly, the noodles were both crunchy and al dente, and the sauce had a nice flavor to it. I sampled my husband's dish - the fried rice was fluffy and tasty, the spicy potatoes were not too spicy (hot) but had flavorful spices, and the fried momos were very delicious. The restaurant decor is simple and very humble. I particularly love all the quotes and teachings by the Dalai Lama. This is definitely one of those places where you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. It may not look fancy but the food is delicious and one can tell that the food is made with a lot of heart. I will be coming back to try more dishes!

Avi Jain

Tibetan food with affordable prices. 5 min from temple square. Service is fast and friendly staff. Everything is freshly made, even the tea. Serves chai. Plays local music.

Md Faisal Karim

One of the best restaurant in salt lake city. Not just because of the food but also for their behavior and arrangement. The food is bang on! Quantity is huge. Two people can easily eat one dish. Highly recommend. Specifically their fried momo, beef curry, and fried beef noodles. Don’t forgot to mix the ginger sauce, chili sauce and soya sauce for dipping the momo.

M.C. Rivetti

The food is pretty good, not great, but good. I had an eggplant and mushroom dish, that didn't have any mushrooms... Which i was fine with. It was pretty tasty, but eggplant consistency needed some work. Also tried a chicken dish that was decent. Service is great, they are super friendly and check in on you frequently. Atmosphere was just your standard mom and pop kind of establishment, nothing out of the ordinary for an American restaurant, which this isn't, so it's a little weird. Parking can be a real pain. It's the avenues, so you have to expect that. I had to park down the street. All-in-all, it's worth a visit, but be aware of the time of day you go and that parking could be an issue.

Sandra Lemon

I live in Phoenix but had them specially cater my birthday party in Utah. Everyone loved it. People raved about the fried veggie momos. Best vegan food to please a non-vegan crowd.

Don't Fuss It's Russ

I traveled all the way from California and stumbled upon this cafe. Glad I did because I couldn't say enough good things about the food and service. Top notch service and very polite. As for the food I Singapore fried noodles and fried veggie momo. Just WOW!! Highly recommend coming here.

Breezy Tsuki

super flavorful and tasty food, and very generous with their portions with great prices. each time I’ve been here has been a great experience as the staff is really friendly and service is fast. whether vegetarian or not (they have plenty of meat dishes), your taste buds are in for a treat. love the momos!

Cristina Gabot

The FOOOOOOOD! Amazing food, very good service, the portions were big for the price. Will be going there again!

Skye Jarvis

Great local restaurant in the aves with lots of healthy/+vegan options. Good portion sizes and the lamb is great if you do eat meat. The Momos (dumplings) are amazing! Love the house special since you get to try several things at once.

Savhannah Carpenter

This is hands down my favorite place to eat in the entire valley. The food is incredibly delicious (and the spicy sauce is to die for!). We just had our wedding last week and had Cafe Shambala provide the food; all of our guests were blown away by how delicious everything was. Definitely worth stopping by next time you are hungry in the Avenues!

LYNN HADFIELD

First time here, will definitely be back. Excellent curry!

Narayani MA

Such a lovely place. The food is great. There's a good flavor of ginger and garlic in the foods they make. And it has a very homemade feel to it. They are a family-owned business and they seem understaffed so during rush hours, you might have to wait a while to get food.

Amy Jensen

Found this little gem & went there twice this weekend! We LOVED everything we ordered. The steamed momos & the veggie fried noodles were particularly delicious. I went back & got 3 orders of steamed momos to take home for a family party! Fantastic service, the lady helping us was so sweet. Loved everything about this place. Highly recommend 😊

amrak kev

After being on the road for sometime and craving for homemade and tasty food I thought of exploring Cafe Shambala and I'm so glad that I did. The food was so good, our host and server was super friendly and helpful. The food was bang for bucks and so abundance yet absolute delight n delish.

Chris Yuan

Enjoy their food so much, very good price for a good amount of food. I never tried Tibetan food, first time tried it, love it. It is family owned, the waitress was very friendly and professional. we came back in the afternoon got more food to go.

Nicole Campolucci

They no longer offer the lunch buffet which was the main draw of Cafe Shambala. Instead, I ordered the vegetarian plate which was just starch on top of starch (spicy potatoes, veggie momos, veggie fried rice). Flavor was good but variety was poor.

Andy Pew

I had the chicken curry and it was delicious. Large serving size, quality, authentic ingredients. I really liked the taste and texture of the chicken. Tiensin was a gracious and lovely host. I will tell my friends and be back for more. Thank you Tiensin!

Cordi.Q

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Quality and quality for great prices. The food was very flavorful. We had their lunch special and everyone was very happy with the options. Our waitress was on her game! The cafe was busy and she still never let our water glasses gone below half!!! Would give 10 stars if I could!!!

Lempi Miller

Something that delights me is being introduced to a new flavor profile. The fennel chili sauce at Cafe Shambala is just exquisite-- such an interesting combination and with such kick. I'll be dreaming about the vegetable momo and lentil soup for months to come.

Giovanni Orifici

The lady at the front is a true legend, one time she gave me a mango smoothie for free. It was sensational. Sometimes the dudes in the back nod at me, makes me feel dope. Get the fried veggie momos

Brandon Lake

Great food, subpar service. They've cancelled many orders for no discernible reason except it's at a time where it can't be reordered. If it was once or twice I'd understand, but it has happened at least a dozen times. If you don't want to fulfill delivery orders then turn it off instead of failing to fulfill the orders.

Cade Anderson

Absolutely incredible. Over half the menu is vegetarian and what I tried was so delicious that I can't wait to keep coming back to try the many other options. Cafe Shambala has a warm, local, calming atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem. The entrees offer huge portions for what you pay ($8-10); I only finished half my food and enjoyed the rest the next day. Try the Shambala Vegetarian Plate to sample a few of their best vegetarian options, including spicy potatoes and momos (soft, fried vegetable dumplings).

Angel Fitzgerald

Absolutely delicious! Definitely the best Tibetan restaurant and we cannot wait to go back, or for them to get their buffet up and running again😋 …

Kaya Holt

INCREDIBLE FOOD. The momos are a must have. Everything here is delicious. Highly recommend anything with eggplant in it. Friendly and welcoming environment!

James Fanjul

I walked out letting them know it was some of the best food I’ve had in years (when not enjoying some of Mom’s home cooking)! Absolutely recommend. Please go!

Gourab Bhattacharya

Great service, good food. The person-in-charge was very nice and ensured that we have a pleasant experience. The hot tea (by the pot) was amazing and tasted absolutely authentic. Also attached are pictures of the veg fried momo and chicken chilli. The menu is relatively inexpensive considering the amount served. On 9 out of 10 occasions you'd need a to-go box.

Anindita Roy

I love getting catered food from Cafe Shambala for office and house parties. They have got food multiple times and it's inexpensive and awesome tasting. Everyone loves them. Though they do not deliver, so you have to go pick up the food but they can accommodate your packing options (to go styrofoam box or large containers). They offer momos (veggie/beef/both) with sauce, veggie fried rice, spicy veggies, spicy potatoes, chicken/lamb curry and it came to ~$9/person. The food isn't very spicy/hot but they give their own hot sauce which you can add to everything to make it spicy.

Amish Shah

Excellent is not enough for the taste and quality of authentic Tibetan vegetarian food. The host are so sweet and the service is awesome.

Barbie Spencer

Delicious food, excellent service! The hot sauce is so yummy! Highly recommend

Leah Wynn

Food great! It's always good to see this small family restaurant slamming busy. We took a friend and waited a bit as one lovely gal and kitchen helpers tended to 12-14 tables and take out. I love steamed Momo. The vegi dishes are a must!

jackson hasty

Great momos and accompanying sauce. Enjoyed the chai more than the Tibetan tea but both good.

John Landfair

We used to live in the Avenues and go here all the time. We since moved further away, but we love this place just the same. It is so delicious, and they are so friendly. I would go here every day if I could.

wraith of mother earth

Always love eating here. It's small,cute,clean and always friendly with outstanding quality food! It's very busy sometimes so be patient, it's worth it.

Craig Smith

Breakfast food, crêpes, simple sandwiches. Tasty, clean and mostly friendly. Don’t add lemonade to your water, they will come over to your table and get mad at you.

Brooke Lee

Been a loyal customer for 2 years now and have always had a 5-star experience! Affordable, high quality dishes, with excellent service, and generous portion sizes during dinner entrees so you can count on taking leftovers home. The lunch buffet is an amazing deal! My favorite items during the buffet are the spicy potatoes (thicker-cut and less soggy than found at other SLC Tibetan restaurants), chicken kabobs, the momos (veggie or beef), and the rice pudding dessert. The mango lassi drink here is more of a thin smoothie than other places' thicker yogurt-based consistency, but I prefer that it's lighter and refreshing here. The iced Chai tea is also very delicious, and may have a nut milk mixed in (it looked like a tea latte when served). A great casual spot to bring friends when visiting town!

Marisa Firth

Excellent service and a very comfortable dining experience. The food was very different and I felt like some of the dishes were plain, but they were okay.

Stephen Wasmund

First time there. My wife and I shared veggie Momo (mixed steamed & fried) and a spinach mushroom dish. Both were especially tasty. As was the cup of warm, sweet Chai. All for just a little over $20. Extremely friendly staff. Very clean. Will definitely be back.

Colby Stirland

Good food. I would like to go again to try more things. The food seems to me to be a mix between asian and indian. It was good. The chai tea wasn't that good.

Alyssa Quinn

Delicious comfort food--the vegetarian plate and the tofu/veggie noodles did not disappoint. The staff were very kind as well.

Zaina Il

Delicious fresh food made fast! I love Momos!!!! I brought them back home with me to the east coast.

Ludovica Farese

The food here was delicious!! We had the eggplant with mushroom and rice and the tofu and veggie curry and they were to die for! One of the best vegetarian restaurants in Salt Lake! I highly recommend going here!

Heather Scott

Fabulous food, fresh and so flavorful. They are so nice and welcoming. Must try.

Ravi Darbhamulla

Friendly faces and great food, especially if you are vegan / vegetarian. Don't forget the lentil soup. I can have it in a bucket.

Austin Hill

It was so, so, so good! I loved the kindness of the waitress and the deliciousness of the food. I’m definitely coming back here again.

Aj B

Delicious food at a humbly owned family restaurant. Since they are owned by a family, service could be slow but don't be afraid to walk up and ask for a to-go box. You also walk up to the cash register to pay for your food at the end, no check is given, so just some heads ups. They also make their food fresh! The wait is worth it for fresh delicious, home-cooked food. So glad they are opened because the other Tibetan restaurant closed permanently and I was sad I wouldn't be able to find another Tibetan restaurant. But SLC was blessed with this one!

Adrienne Wall

Owned by a father and daughter, the food is always tasty and the service is very personable.

Sam Wagner

This place is always awesome! The owners are super nice and their spicy potatoes are incredible. They are also very generous with portions for the price. 10/10.

Rachel

We lived almost solely off food from Cafe Shambala for a few months while renovating. Reliably clean eating, yummy, enormous portions, reasonable prices. The lunch buffet is a hit with my vegan friends. I'd come here for my anniversary too! Love getting to know the family of staff and their culture.

Drora Oren

Great healthy food with friendly service and reasonable prices. We always begin with the fabulous lentil soup and continue with the main dishes. There is always more than enough to take home as well.

Eric Garland

Cafe Shambhala is the best! Delicious, healthy food, very authentic. I would eat here every week if I could. The tofu vegetable curry is mind blowingly delicious. Peaceful setting, family owned business. Please support them!

Jay Chandra

Went on a weekday to grab some to-go veggie momo and chili chicken with rice. My order was ready before the anticipated time. Although the chili chicken wasn't of the typical type but it hit the spot with the rice and the momos came with a spicy and a sweet sauce. Both items were well made and restaurant was clean. Surely, I'll visit again to try other items on their menu.

Angela Layton

Amazing authentic Tibetan food. All dishes were fresh and the handmade fried momos were so flavorful and a must try! The service was also phenomenal and they ensured everything was to my liking.

Adan Peredo

Good people and authentic cuisine! Love all there food and healthy options they have. Take out for now...hopefully dinne in later this year.

Randy Larson

Super nice people. Consistently good, simple food.

Madison Hawks

The best!!! Get the steamed veggie momos and spicy potatoes. I promise you won’t be disappointed. We absolutely love this place and have gone here for years. I grew up as a child eating here and now that I’m an adult and have kids of my own we take them here whenever we visit back to Utah since moving away. The people here are so friendly too. Just all around an amazing place of business ❤️

Polaris Kyo

Very delicious food. Excellent and friendly staff. Very affordable Lunch Buffet. The Momo's are very tasty!

Anna Karenina

This place is phenomenal! Great dishes to share with family and friends and every single one of them is fantastic. Very delicious and we will be back.

Grand Puissant (Bigmighty)

Just had a delicious plate of Tofu Fried Noodles: it was fantastic, especially with their house hot sauce ... nice savory heat.

mary bagalay

The smell was fresh and inviting. I am so happy to have found this great little restaurant.

Janice Goimarac

Wow! Delicious!! We are plant eaters, and there was a very nice selection of plant-based dishes. I can't eat salt, and the server was very helpful in letting me know how to choose. The ginger sauce is so yummy. The momos are divine. I can't recommend this place enough!!

Stephanie Garcia (Zowie247)

This place has the best buffet ever and the service was amazing 10/10!!! I recommend this place to anyone looking for great food at a great price!!!

Riley Carroll

It isn't only vegetarian. My wife and I each had different chicken dishes. Which were delicious. Loved their Momo's. They are a type of dumpling.

Ashish Garg

Went there today with very less expectations even though reviews were otherwise. I am so glad we did. Tried Vegetable platter and Veg fried noodles. Veg platter: Fried momos were nice and crispy yet mouthful. Fried rice were just like home and in a good way. Potatoes were spicy and delicious. Wish they were chopped to a little less size coz the flavor was not reaching to the core. Veg fried Noodles were okay. Lot of veggies. the noodles were having a bit of burnt to it. I liked it though as it was crispy for me. Star of the show were the chutneys/sauces: spicy sauce and ginger. Both were so flavorful and awesome. All the dishes paired with these sauces, esp momos and noodles, it was taste to savor. Caution: Spicy sauce is not for faint heart. I will definitely be back again.

Falguni Dharodiya

Food was fresh, authentic and I loved the fried momos as well as both hot sauce and ginger sauce. Many vegan and vegetarian options to choose from, and lots of food for the money.

Melissa Parada

Gem of a place! Delicious Healthy food with fresh produce and ingredients. Staff is kind and welcoming. The ambiance is tranquil and bathrooms are clean. So happy my husband and I stopped by before we returned to Houston.

Adventure Traveling

Need & clean 🧼 restaurant and very friendly staff & delicious food 🥘 but they need to work on momo becoz too thick momo skin !!

Annie Shin

Sweetest service ever and amazing food! The fried veggie momos were sooo good that I ordered extra to take home! Must try place and DEF will go back!

Nels

My family has been going here for the past two decades - the food is SO good!! You can't go wrong; order anything and you'll have a new favorite. Staff has always been kind and efficient, and the atmosphere is always pleasant. With the pandemic they were closed for a few months with no word on reopening, and their door accumulated a foliage of love notes - this place is that good.

John Allison

A fantastic eatery in the Avenues of Salt Lake City. No alcohol but the food and non-alcoholic drinks definitely make up for it.

Marlen Olmedo

Incredibly delicious and flavorful food. If you’re looking for vegetarian/vegan options, this is your place.

Jessica Anderson

Welcoming place, best momos in town! I stopped in for lunch on a whim. I was alone with my 5 month old, and it was his first time in a restaurant - a potentially awkward experience, but we were made to feel so welcome. I wish I knew the name of the incredibly thoughtful staff person who helped me pack up my food in the stroller and get out the door.

Candace Garner

Cafe Shambala is one of my favorite restaurants in SLC. I've been here many times and never been disappointed. I'm vegetarian and my favorites are the fried rice, spicy potatoes, of course the vegetarian Momos (fried or steamed both are great), and the veggie fried noodle. Everything though. Everything is good. They cook eggplant better than anyone. Their chai is so cozy and fragrant. The rice pudding is delicious. If you're looking for somewhere to eat and you've never been here, please give them a try. They are always so kind as well, really outstanding customer service.

Tiffany Passey

The food was fresh, yummy, and healthy. The service was kind. I am so happy we found this place. I just wish it was closer to our home.

Ben Smith

We live in the neighborhood and go almost every month - Love the Spicy Potatoes, the Momos are awesome, and the Spinach and Hot Garlic is a new favorite of the family. Low price and big servings!

Bryce.Jayne Osborne

The owners and employees were incredibly kind! The food was delicious and the service was even better.

Eric Wilcox

Always delicious, always so friendly! This is my favorite restaurant in Utah. My go-to is the beef fried noodle. Food is great to eat and great for you

Andrew Woodruff

Fantastic and affordable buffet in the Avenues. Great if you're vegetarian, and still great if you're not! (I'm not vegetarian) Delicious noodles and rice, and the momos are fantastic. I looked everything I tried. It's not a huge buffet, and the food is simple, but it's delicious. Owners are friendly, and service is great. Highly recommend!

Juan Saavedra

Their lunch is buffet style and it is price very good compared to other buffets. Not everything is offer during buffet hours. The full menu is offer for dinner. Lots of veggies are used in almost every plate. The momo is the Tibetan version of the dumpling, and yes they are amazing. The spicy potatoes are a must try. The staff is always so friendly. Prices are super reasonable.

Paula Gibbs

I love this place and that it is in the Aves! Food is consistently flavorful and the staff are kind and attentive. We are so happy you were able to get through this pandemic and stay a part of our Avenues family.

Strange Beings

My favorite dining establishing I have ever been to. They are always kind and smiling, and during COVID they disinfect your card after using it and pens as well. The food is always amazing, and before the lockdown took effect the buffet was the best thing to have ever graced this country. The energy their is just all-around amazing.

Ingrid Blankevoort

This is our first time trying Cafe Shambala. It offers Tibetan food with great vegetarian selections and all dish came with generous portions. The veggie fried noodle and egg plant with mushrooms are my favorites. The veggie rice platter combination is a good choice to try different items including fried veggie momo. The glass noodle in the potato phing dish has a mild curry taste which is quite unique as well. Overall it was a good experience and we will certainly come back again.

Omu Sherpa

Okay! I really really love the food here. The owner of the restaurant and the employees here are great too. I always order beef momo's (steamed dumpling) with other dishes. Their portion size is "BIG". When my family is here in SLC for a visit, we make sure to stop here for dinner. Tea here is very tasty too.

Miklo Schoenrock

I'm pleasantly surprised with this hidden cafe. They offer generous portions with great flavors and reasonable prices. The vegetables have the crisp texture of a freshly made dish that is not over-cooked and there are several vegetarian and vegan options. The service is quick and the staff is cheerful. Adding this cafe to my favorite places.

aaron dembe

Mom and pop Tibetan food. Tastes homemade. Most dishes taste strongly like cooked celery, probably because most dishes contain cooked celery. Lunch buffet is nourishing and soulful. Momos are the house specialty and are not to be missed, nor are they to be eaten without ginger dip and hot pepper sauce, both homemade. Entree portions are very generous and prices are rock bottom. The place is friendly as could reasonably be imagined. I love eating here and I feel good about myself and the world when I leave. I wish them well personally, and I wish for freedom for their homeland.

Drake Thomas

Cafe Shambala is among the finest vegetarian and Tibetan restaurants in the Valley. The restaurant is always immaculately clean. Food is always delicious, comes in generous portions, and pretty quickly. Staff are immensely friendly, and pillars of the local community. Whenever non-residents visit the city, I recommend this location.

Caitlin Bjork

This place is wonderful, cozy atmosphere and the employees are very warm and welcoming! Tons of vegan options (about half the menu)!! My fiance and I had the veggie momos steamed, the spicy potatoes, and lentil soup. What is in the momos resembles the spicy potatoes so I think next time I'd probably get the veggie curry (which our friends got and is a large portion) and momos. I love the flavors and the prices are very reasonable! Definitely recommend for a fun, but flavorful and affordable dinner!

Jessica Wang

What a hidden gym! Loved this place. Food was amazing, especially the vegetarian momos! Service was the absolute best. So kind and thoughtful!!! Loved the entire experience. Come here, you won’t regret it!

David Martin

Excellent food. Tons of vegetarian options. Spicy potatoes have an insane amount of flavor. Veggies are always cooked to the perfect texture. Staff is friendly and make you feel at home. Hoping this place does well amd stays open for a long time!

A Habib

It had been over a year since we’d been to Cafe Shambala and I cannot believe it took us this long to come back. Such a great and expansive menu of vegetarian options with many meat dishes available for those inclined. Perfectly spiced foods and the chai is amazing - really the best in town because they take their time brewing it fresh. It really is the Pinnacle of vegetarian cuisine in Utah.

Douglas Romero

There are not many great breakfast places in Salt Lake City - which is why The Park Cafe is such a gem. This place is solid: * Good customer service by friendly, down-to-earth staff * Good food * Clean bathrooms * Nice ambiance - great Star Wars and Parks and Rec decorations. Also good taste of music - cool Pearl Jam picture. * Not insanely expensive ($60 for 5 people) * GREAT portion sizes We came here on a cold, snowy Saturday morning around 11:45am. The place was busy. Our wait time was 25 minutes or so, not too bad. The wait was actually pleasant. The first thing I noticed was that the waiting area was not in the actual restaurant, but it was outside in a tent which was connected to the restaurant. Inside the tent they had an open flame and a heater to keep us all warm. There were tables in there as well and people were eating. Such an awesome little area to hang out in. I really liked this concept. People were having a good time in the waiting area....that's a first! We were seated in the main eating area after a 25 minute wait. Nice seats right next to the windows. The windows overlook Liberty Park - beautiful. I ordered the "Odelay" omelette. Really good. I would definitely order it again. Check out the picture for more info. The potatoes were really good and flavorful. They are super generous with portions. I spoke to the owner about our hobbies and he was fun to talk to. I'll give you a clue as to what the owner is into - look on the walls! If I had a restaurant, I imagine it decorated very similar to his. Good taste all around. He's also a hard worker. Not only was he serving tables, he was outside shoveling snow. Good stuff. If you want breakfast or a good lunch, this is the place. Come here and you won't be disappointed. This just might be my go-to restaurant for now on

Cynthia Parkinson

We ate at Shambala today and had the lunch buffet. Since it was the first time we had eaten at the restaurant, the owner/chef was kind enough to provide more detail on the menu choices. The food was delicious, not too spicy but very flavorful. Among the buffet choices were curry chicken, spicy tofu vegetables, noodles with vegetables, spicy potatoes and beef and veggie momos. Also included was a delicious rice pudding made with soy milk that was not too sweet and a delicious soup. The service was prompt and excellent and we look forward to returning to Shambala soon to sample more of their Tibetan food!

Living Wasatch

I just finished the left overs. This place is fantastic. Delicious dishes for an excellent value. The service was a little slow, but the one server was working the entire restaurant, which was full by 6:45 on a Monday. Our favorite dish was the spinach and tofu curry, which isn't like a Thai or Indian curry. I would recommend the other dishes also: we had a potato, rice, and a dumpling similar to a samosa for an appetizer, then sweet & sour mushrooms, broccoli & cauliflower, and the vegetarian chow mein.

Susy Castillo

So so good. Food was great. Service was personalized and focused on details. Had a wonderful experience.

Sarah W

This is my favorite restaurant in Salt Lake, period. I love it so much, I literally took its location into consideration when moving to the Salt Lake area. Call me obsessed. The food is tasty, quickly prepared, and priced incredibly well for how much high-quality food they give you. And their lunch buffet is one of the best deals I've seen. They have a great variety of options, including vegetarian and vegan. Additionally, the family who owns it is so warm and friendly--customer service is just so well understood here. And their ginger sauce. Don't get me started. As a vegan who has recently become sensitive to gluten, I seriously appreciate their wide options and flavorful vegetarian & vegan dishes. Some of my favorites are: -Vegetarian Plate (a classic; has gluten) -Spinach & Mushroom -Spicy Potatoes -Eggplant Saute -Tomato Egg Drop Soup (pre-vegan, but it is vegetarian) -[Ginger Sauce on Anything and Everything] -Tofu & Veggie Phingsha -Steamed Veggie Momos (has gluten) -Veggie Chow Mein (has gluten) I've taken people here who aren't inclined to eat anything but American food they have absolutely loved it as well. It is a crowd-pleaser for sure. For the gluten-eaters out there, GET THE MOMOS. Basically, I can't think of many things that could happen to this area that would be worse than this restaurant not being here. Go there and just love it and order an extra plate for me because I'll probably be there.

Jennifer Taylor

I ordered the vegetarian platter even thought I'm not a vegetarian because it was recommended by my vegetarian brother, who is a regular here. The portions were substantial. (I ate leftovers twice from what I brought home.) I also ordered the lentil soup. It was unique and delicious. Everything was so good! The service was also excellent.

Sina Bahmani

Lamb curry with rice! The meat was not tender.

C Skidmore

This place is a hidden treasure! I work nearby and have consistently visited Cafe Shambala for the past 10months or so, and I have never been let down! I have tried ~70% of the menu, and while I have my favorite (the beef momos), each dish is very well made and unique. While the food is great, especially for the low prices, the service is bar-none! This family owned business offers unequivocal, 5-star customer service that would keep anyone coming back for more. Show this place some love! You won't be disappointed.

Ashley Timmerman

A rough exterior and the menu can possibly throw you for a loop, but they make up for it with the excellent food and service! The server explained menu items very well and made excellent suggestions! The MoMos with ginger sauce were yummy. The noodles rock, and the Himalayan tea is something everyone should try!

Chris Burnette

The friendliest and kindest service I have ever received, consistently! They have great prices and amazing food. What more could you want? I'm not even big on veggies but I eat here regularly.

Erica N

Loved eating here! The food was very flavorful & the staff was so kind and attentive.

Sarah H.

The lunch buffet (11:30-3:00 pm) is a must-try! Great vegetarian food that leaves you full, satisfied, and happy. The momo is a fan favorite. The people - staff AND customers - are friendly welcoming.

Matt Conway

I've been going here for 10 years and couldn't be happier. The food, portions, and staff are amazing. I usually get the Potato and Spinach Date, fried Momos, and the sweet and sour tofu - all amazing, especially when combined together 😊 …

Allison Billmeyer

One of my favorites in SLC! I always get the veggie plate & it’s the best for such a good price! Love the momo’s and spicy potatoes! And the staff is the nicest!

James Thomas

Great food, prices, and staff. Great vegetarian options.

Sachevi Fowler

This food is always amazing! My favorite is the beef phingsha! I used to com here as a kid and enjoy it just as much and more now.

Love this place. A family favorite. Great lunch buffet, spectacular dinner entrees. The momos, beef or veg, are great. Just enjoyed a delicious tofu and veg phing. Wish I still lived in the neighborhood so that I could eat here more regularly. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Jessica Krivanec

Cafe Shambala is delightful. The people who work there are very kind and genuine. I would recommend dining at dinner rather than lunch. Lunch is a buffet, and the food is still great, but usually not as fresh as when you order at dinner. The price found on the online menu is outdated, but the price is still very reasonable. The lentil soup is smooth and very delicious. I also recommend trying the momos and spicy potato.

This is by far the best Tibetan food and vegetarian buffet in the northern Salt Lake City area and probably even state. The staff is amazingly friendly and the food is fantastic! This location practices very through and safe COVID-19 policies. They require masks and social distancing inside and allow for limited contact curbside pick up if requested. They limit the number of customers at any given time and keep the location very clean. I generally feel quite safe when visiting this place.

Seth Ring

This place is super delish. Had vegetable Mo Mos and Fried Singapore chicken with noodles. Both were excellent. The ambience was really comfy, nice soft lighting and super friendly service. The Avenues location also makes if feel less busy and more welcoming. The prices are very reasonable as well.

Daela Tipton

This place is a staple & beloved local restaurant. Get the steamed veggie momo! You won't regret it, and that's a promise.

Catherine C

100% authentic Tibetan restaurant with lots of flavor rich vegetarian options, family style servings made with love by wonderful people. Service is excellent even when busy and it's just one person for the night. I've tried about half the menu, and I'm always happy I tried something different. Try the hot chili sauce. It's unique and oh so good!! When we go for walks around the neighborhood, we occasionally stop in just for a fruit smoothie or a cup of extra hot chai tea to go. Sometimes we get momos to nibble on.

Frances Geerlings

Yummy, crispy fried momo buns, chow mein with vegetables, and eggplant stir-fry. Delicious yak milk style tea, and lamb curry over delicate, fluffy jasmine rice. Our water glasses never ran dry, and our server was sweet and attentive. Meal was affordable and put the group in good spirits. There was laughter at our table even with the spectre of a snowstorm outside. Thanks guys!

Chris Foster

The lunch buffet was incredible! Not sure if it changes from day to day, but we had spicy tofu, fried rice (probably my least favorite), spicy potatoes, curry chicken and momos (both vegetarian and beef). So yummy!

I

Nice remodel, great food and service. Lovely atmosphere. Very attentive service and employees. Be specific in ordering the amount of spicy heat that you want. I ordered medium heat and it was mild. They were great and quick to correct it. Very excited to go back. Reasonable $

JM Schmitz

Great food and huge portions, a must try!

Cameron Sullivan

Great food. Awesome service. My wife and I got momos, soup, salad and spinach curry. They split the momo order half fried and half steamed. I liked the fried best, my wife liked the steamed. I commented on how good the salad dressing was (ginger goodness) and the waitress brought a small dish of extra dressing to dim the momos in. Delicious. The waitress noticed that we had some curry left over and brought us a box for it, as well as a box of rice to go home with it. Very attentive and very tasty. We are already planning our next visit.

Ross Mitchell

Tasty lunch buffet. $8.50 for adults, $6.99 for my 8 year old, $4.99 for my 6 year old, and free for the 3 year old. The food was great and my kids enjoyed the noodles, chicken, momos, fruit, and rice pudding. There are also some vegetarian options. I found this place to be very similar to House of Tibet in SLC, which is a good thing.

Norrad

Wonderful Tibetan food in a quiet Avenues neighborhood. The currys are good, and the beef fried noodles dish is a favorite. And try the momo appetizers. Season everything to taste. Try the ginger sauce too. It's great!

Tee Holokai

Our family’s favorite restaurant in SLC, we eat here all the time when we visit from Jackson, WY. Great food and great service.

Tierra Hunt

They have awesome vegan options, and reasonable pricing, considering how much food you get. Don't get me started on the staff! .. so wonderful! Veeeeery friendly, and extremely helpful. This is a new favorite of ours.

Erin Olschewski

Cafe Shambala is an incredible neighborhood eatery. Family-owned and operated by the most generous and kind people, I have been getting tofu fried noodle, sweet and sour veggie + tofu, momos, and their delicious chai nearly every month for years. I can't recommend Cafe Shambala enough -- fantastic and affordable food, wonderful people, a cozy atmosphere - what more could you need?

Ana Marasović

Veggie plate and spicy tofu are so tasty!

Eve Alas

this place when I eat there food I really am thinking that the gods favor me at that moment, it is so yummy and the owners and workers are so nice! you won't believe it till you eat it. and I really think you should. in fact my sister introduced my sister who introduced me to it, I showed my girlfriend who showed her sister and family who... well you get the idea, and it's been one of my top 5 eats in salt lake city too long not to write a review.

Arav Arora

Excellent food! Generous portions and friendly staff.

Micah Mitchell

Incredibly delicious food and quaint environment. Mom and pop done right! Food is excellent. Service is great. Sometimes the wait can be long but well worth it. Little shop inside as well. I hear the lunch Buffett is good.

Reginald Brookins

Tibetan soul food y'all! Light, delicious and served with care and love. Just above a hole in the wall restaurant, my kinda joint. My wife and I live 2 blocks away and Shambala is our standby when we dont wanna cook. The samosas are the bomb! Fried rice is delectable. They got smoothies too. Tinzen and her Dad are awesome compassionate people. I feel good everytime I eat there! Great spot 5 stars. Simply excellent! Take it from Big Reg

oriah knorr

In the 15 years i've been coming here i've never been disapointed. They consistently have high quality and cheap lunch buffet and dinner options. The staff are all super nice and acomadating.

Joshua Spolsdoff

Every time I eat here I feel so good afterwards. I usually stick to the noodle soups and do they deliver! The ingredients are simple and delicious!

Julia Day

Great Tibetan food! Made fresh & delicious. Reminded me of eating at a Cafe in Dharmsala! Will definitely put it on our rotation when we come out! The momos & chai were especially amazing!! Friendly service!

Corben Innes

This is one of those hole in the wall restaurants that you try and you just fall in love with! I am so happy my girlfriend took me here. We love this place! This particular visit the service was pretty slow so that was less enjoyable but the food is incredible! We would always recommend this place!

Ginger Adventurez

Authentic feeling and amazing food. I appreciate so much when a restaurant stays true to their culture and cuisine. Delicious!

Kelsey Hall

Been eating here since 2009, food is always amazing! Singapore fried chicken noodle and half veggie half beef fried momos have become comfort foods of mine. Also, love the no corkage fee! Bring your own beer/wine!

Amy Kopischke

I love the food - the Mo Mo's are to die for (I always have to split my order between vegetable and beef because I can never decide), the Lentil soup is delicious, and the Nepalese salad with the ginger dressing make such a great entree. The woman who usually waits on us is as sweet as can be. It makes me happy to dine here. :)

Into The Darkness

I loved this place! Delicious food, very friendly and efficient staff, great price for a buffet and they had vegan food options for my friend. Definitely coming back.

Kubomi

One of my favorite restaurants in SLC. The staff are nice and the food is exceptional. Be sure to try the fried momos. The Vegetarian Plate is my standard, it comes with Spicy Potatoes, fried veggie momos, and fried rice.

LaDarrell Worf

The food is absolutely amazing! The service was great as well. When we went in we saw the staff interact with quite a few regulars as if they were family. This is a place that we will definitely return

BON GRIP

Momos are sooo yummy!

Alex R

Seriously some of the best food I've ever had. You can tell everything is made with a lot of love.

Gregory Roth

Delicious food. Ample portions. Easy to miss. I thought this place had closed in the years I'd been away because I forgot it had basically no sign. I was thrilled to see that it is still there, still serving great food in an understated storefront with friendly service and good prices.

Roberto Paul Pickett

Enjoyable place to eat. Not a first choice of mine but I'm not opposed when somebody else suggests it. I think the food is simple, bordering on plain; the service is excellent and price for dishes is slightly high.

Richard and Kayla Savage

Clean place with excellent service! We always get the momos. So delicious! Everything we have tried here is super tasty. Lunch buffet is the best!

Lauren K

As told by a 2nd grader: "Shambala is a great place. I give it 5 stars! Are you looking for a great place to eat? Go to Shambala!!! It has very good food. There are noodles like those long noodles. There is also rice and things that look like dumplings but they are vegetarian and crunchy on the outside. I think they are really good. They have really good soup, like this hot yummy spicy soup. Caution!! You have to eat it last because it is too hot to at first. The restaurant is nice and calm that is one of the reasons I gave it five stars. Another nice quality is that there is a place by Shambala that you can go to for dessert but Shambala has smoothies it is your choice. I love to go with my mom and dad. SO GRAB YOUR HAT AND HAVE FUN!!!"

Tristi Snyder

Such amazing food! The spicy potatoes and the veggie Momos are soooo good. The staff is always so friendly and helpful.

Mike Nay

Shambala is far and away one of my favorite restaurants in Salt Lake City. The atmosphere is great, the workers are very friendly, and the food is delicious. You really can't go wrong with any dish here, and it all has an authentic Asian taste to it. The Momos are very popular, and the fried noodle dishes are some of my favorite. They also make a very tasty Lassi to cool off your mouth after the very spicy special chili sauce they offer.

Nolan Ostberg

Cafe Shambala is a cozy neighborhood restaurant that serves delicious meals to suit anyone's palate from noodles/rice or curried veggies/meats to their momos (either steamed or fried, you can't go wrong) or their teas. We've been going pretty much weekly since we moved into the neighborhood over a year ago, and have no plans to stop.

Jordan Giese

An absolute gem. Fried chicken noodle is to die for.

Jonathan Harrop

Amazing food and well priced. We will be coming here again. They have great vegetarian dishes and even some good meat dishes for the meat lovers.

Chelsea Goss

I really love this restaurant. Highly recommend the veggie chow mein and the momos!!! I have been eating here for the last five years or so and the food is always fresh and wonderful. The buffet is great too! Cafe shambala is such a gem!

Brandon Henline

This place is amazing. Great vegetarian options. The lunch buffet is a great deal and not to be missed. Lunch buffet closes at 3 so get it while you can.

Joli Perez

Veggie Curry, no tofu with extra veggies, the eggplant dish, and the Shambala Vegetarian Platter (fried rice, spicy potatoes, and veggie fried momos) are some of our favorites. Lentil soup is also excellent! Steamed momos are also equally delicious. Atmosphere and friendliness of the owners/staff a plus. One of my top 5 favorite eatery SLC locations.

Morgan Sjoblom

This place is just perfect for all the veggie finds. I love coming for the lunch buffet that has a majority veggie dishes. Dinner is fantastic and the owners are super nice.

Mary McDonald

Great Tibetan food. I had the butter tea - a little salty, very creamy - perfect for a cold night! I also had the beef phing sha, which was delicious! You can't go wrong eating here 😃 …

Great food and great prices. What more do you want. I went for lunch. They have a small buffet with only about a dozen option, but they were all delicious. I'll be back.

Matthew Jensen

One of my favorite restaurants in Salt Lake. We've liked everything on the menu, but the chili-chicken, veggie fried mo-mos, and the chow mein are favorites. Plenty of vegan/non-vegan choices. Stop by Hatch's next door afterward for dessert.

Mike Johnson

Excellent food every time! Large portions, and a family run business where customers are always treated with kindness! Strongly recommend!

Love this place! Great food, prices, and atmosphere. I love the Shambala vegetarian plate (and I'm a meat eater). Everything is so delicious and the serving is big enough for lunch the next day!!
