I tried the beef curry , it was the best curry I have ever taste in Toronto, it was excellent amount of spices and curry . It s fast services and amazing environment all around . Definitely going back for that delicious curry …
One of the best taste I found in the area with very decent prices and polite hosts.
I definitely recommend. Especially their Chole ( chick pea curry with Tiberius bread)

Amazing experience! Great cost/benefit, the staff is extremely nice and polite, and the food is delicious. I asked the gentleman at the counter what should I order, and he suggested the fried dumplings. Geez, the portion size is huge! Their hot sauce is also extremely tasty. Probably two people would be able to share it.
Great authentic Tiebetan food. Definitely recommend the Thali and shabalay. Make sure you add a puri for the sauces. Super affordable and good portion sizes.
I ordered via Uber eats hoping to get authentic Tibetan Momo’s and dish’s. unfortunately it turned out to be a major disappointment. The momos are the worst that I have eaten in my life . The wrapper was very think and the meat was dry and uninspiring. Other dishes, noodles, also tasted stale. It is a disgrace to the wonderful Tibetan cuisine
Saw some good reviews so I decided to try it. My friend got the curry chicken and we shared some beef momos and I got a vegetarian chow mein.
The beef momos were my least favorite. They seem dried out on the outside. So I must’ve gotten bad ones because reviews were positive on their momos.
There was some people we knew there and she had bought the deep fried paley. There was also these massive pan fried ones there to purchase as well. She got us to sample the deep-fried ones and they were very soft and the texture was really nice. I would’ve bought some if I didn’t already have bread at home.
My friend liked the curry chicken. It was a curry chicken with bones so if you don’t like dealing with bones you won’t like that.
The vegetarian chow mein had tofu in it and a bit of bok choy mushroom and scallions. I liked it.
I would definitely go back to buy the bread(paley)
Prices were reasonable considering prices post Covid.
Update:
I went back a week later and tried the momos again. This time beef & veggie plus a thali with chicken (you can choose between chicken, beef & veggie).
My momos were the same. Dry almost hard wrapping. So definitely my least favourite beef momo in parkdale and I’ve eaten at lots of places in parkdale. I’m new posting here but if you look elsewhere I’ve made lots of reviews you can read about.
The thali was decent. Dhal was alright, veggies nothing special.chicken was good but I would likely just order the curry chicken stand alone next time. It was better than the thali.
I was gonna buy one of those giant palay breads but they only make them in the morning and once they sell out, they are gone.
Will have to stop by at lunch to get one

This was my first time ordering from Songtsen, and I’m relatively happy with my pickup order. I’m not familiar with Tibetan foods, so I didn’t know quite how spicy it would be - I order it to be mild, but it was still a bit too spicy for me (I just can’t handle spice). The portion sizes were huge and the prices were super affordable. The flavours were great, but the potatoes in my soup were undercooked, so my soup ended up being a bit crunchy. I’ll definitely go back to try some of their other vegetarian options.
