Tibet Bistro in Frankfurt am Main

Come here for flavorful Tibetan food. One of the few places in Frankfurt that offers fresh steamed momos and dumplings. Vegetarian noodles was amazing. Service was slightly delayed. The restaurant has limited seating and is usually full.

The service was quick and efficient. We really liked the food and the price was great.

- Food was quite okay - Owner is very rude and impolite

The owner is very unfriendly – ​​we wanted to place an order, and he just told us to hurry up because he doesn't have forever. We also ordered momos, which weren't really momos either – they were served with soy sauce. All in all, very disappointing. Absolutely not recommended.

Food very tasty and cheap. I've been there several times and find the service to be completely fine and friendly. I like coming here.

Absolutely disgusting behavior of the owner. If he doesn’t know how to talk to customers I don't understand why is he running this business. Food was average. The owner didn’t even stand and try to give us our change back. Never ever going back to this place and I don’t recommend anyone to go here unless someone wants their day to be ruined.

The food was quite dry and the service was rather poor (dishes forgotten, swapped with another table). However, the atmosphere is very authentic and we felt comfortable. Don't know if I would come back though.

The food is good, the decor of the restaurant is pleasant, but the service from the son of the house is very rude and unfriendly. We felt like we were just a nuisance and unwelcome to him. You can tell that he doesn't like his job in the restaurant.

Yes, very good thing, authentic and very tasty. I love these soups and the dumplings. Be careful, no shishi

Service catastrophic. Food rather bland. Not worth a visit.

Very bad service. We ordered takeaway and the momos we got were old. We asked for chilli sauce and the owner said its already there, but gave us soya sauce instead. When we asked him for it again, he charged us extra for it. He also wasn't friendly.

Muy mal servicio. Pedimos comida para llevar y los mosmosmos que conseguimos eran viejos. Pedimos salsa de chile y el propietario dijo que ya está allí, pero nos dio salsa de soja en su lugar. Cuando se lo pedimos de nuevo, nos cobró extra por ello. Tampoco era amistoso.

The food in this place is really amazing, and so are the prices. The homemade noodles were so chewy and delicious, one of the best I’ve ever had. My advice to people who want to go there are are reading comments about the owner: yes, he is direct, yes - if you want your food altered in some way - it is not for you, if you expect waiters to be super friendly and chatty - this place is also not for you. If you just want to eat great Tibetan food, pay and be done with your meal - you’ll not regret coming there and I recommend it.

Terrible comida. Personal terrible. No recomiendo encarecidamente. Camarero fue grosero y dando actitud cuando hicimos preguntas simples y nos dejó sin respuestas... con respecto a la comida, repugnante. Carne cocida. Momos bajo - cocido. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Terrible food. Terrible staff. I strongly NOT recommend. Waiter was rude and giving attitude when we asked simple questions and left us without answers… Regarding the food, DISGUSTING. Over-cooked Beef. Momos under-cooked. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

UPDATE: What are these strange owner comments on some reviews? Even if I personally don't agree with some of them, you don't have to insult your customers. I have rarely experienced something so unprofessional. Sorry, but you should delete that as soon as possible. Until then, unfortunately only 1 star. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I can certainly understand the criticism. The owner is actually not the most talkative and you rarely see him smile. But different cultures just have their different characteristics. And as a loyal regular, I have to stand up for the restaurant: the food is always on point, the momos are fresh and super tasty and we don't need to talk about the prices. You first have to find 9 euros for a large main course away from the fast food chains in Frankfurt. I think the restaurant has one of the best price-performance ratios in Frankfurt. And let me put it this way: as it calls into the forest, it rings out again.

The momos are the best in Frankfurt!!! Anyone who finds fault with the service doesn't understand the concept. We love!!

Food was nicely prepared, large portions and came quite quickly. Drink prices in particular are very cheap for Frankfurt. However, the food was very bland for my taste. Unfortunately, I also have to mention that there was a cockroach walking around on the wall next to us. Service as already described in the other comments. All in all, it was okay if you want to satisfy your hunger and try Tibetan cuisine. I probably won't make a second visit.

You can taste the good energy of the food and the loving preparation in every bite! Absolute recommendation, I wish there were longer opening times, but I can understand it since it is a family business.

We wanted to try out first lunch meal here today but the person who was taking the order was extremely rude and asked us what to drink along with the food when we just wanted to eat only . When we politely refused he started murmuring to his colleague in a very condescending tone by pointing to us. We were shocked as we never saw a reaction as such in any restaurant in the Sachsenhausen region ever since we moved to Frankfurt area 10 years back . Even the couple of other customers sitting close to us were shocked at his reaction . We then decided to never eat there again . I understand that everyone has their bad days but this behavior was really unacceptable for me and my family .

I've been there 4 to 5 times and each time the owner's behavior was always the worst of the worst, but today the situation was overstepped. There were two of us and he explicitly said that we should go to the same table. That wouldn't be a problem if the place was full, but there was no one there and we couldn't even sit where we wanted. That immediately took away our appetite. When we ordered, instead of 2 colas, we only got 1, a completely over-salted soup and, as a highlight, we got beef instead of vegetarian Shapale, even though we emphasized this several times and my companion doesn't eat beef. On the whole, I can't recommend the store at all, and not even because of the food, but especially because of the really catastrophic service that makes you feel like you're eating there for free and that he's personally mad at you because of it.

The woner is very rude 😤 as if we are coming for free food in his restaurant. I visited couple of time with my friends but his behaviour is always rude and disrespect full. Not recommend 😕

Absolutely top tier homemade food. Genuine cooking skills and always a 10/10 experience. Price for food performance spot on. I have already ordered 6 times from here, never once I was disappointed. 1/5/7 all with beef. The service is great, zero complaints.♥️♥️♥️

I can't say anything about the food or atmosphere as I was unfortunately turned away very rudely. About two weeks ago I reserved a table for two people by phone. I suspect that I spoke to the manager, who emphasized that we should please arrive on time and the time was also repeated several times, so there could be no misunderstanding. When we got there on the mat very punctually, all tables except one were occupied. However, when I told the manager (?) that I had made a reservation for two people over the phone, he said they didn't have such a reservation and that the free table was for someone else. I asked him to look again. He said (without looking), no, I didn't make a reservation. He then simply disappeared without an apology or a second glance. Mistakes can happen and I wouldn't actually write a bad review because of a lost reservation, but the treatment was absolutely condescending and I have to say it robbed me of any desire to balance this negative experience with a positive one.

coming here regularly, great food and very nice people!

Super delicious food! The restaurant is relatively small, but there is enough space for around 8-10 people without feeling cramped. The dishes are homemade and really taste extremely good. The service was friendly and in the end a nice young person cashed in on us. If you like delicious food without too many frills, this is the place for you. The prices are also very fair. I've been there twice now. Absolute recommendation! :)!

Traditional Tibet cuisine that exceeds expectations! Delicious and worth the wait during peak hours. Everything is hand made by just 2 or 3 people running the place, so you can be guaranteed it's authentic.

Agree to other reviewers, good food but disrespectful owner. We had food leftover he didn't want us give something for taking it away. I'd have paid extra for it. What an unfortunate food waste, and this is a Tibetian restaurant

Food is 10/10. Very very tasty authentic food. I highly recommend the dumplings with soy sauce, vinegar and chilli. The prices are really, really good too. Unfortunately the service is subpar. The owners always have headphones in their ears and you get the feeling that they don't really care. If you ask, you will even be forgotten and friendliness is a bit of a foreign word here. We'll still come back because the food impresses us.

small place & traditional vibes. I had a take out order, and it is really tastyy :) definitely recommend <3

I can't understand these positive reviews at all because the owner was totally unfriendly!!! We had ordered Coke Zero, which tasted stale, so we politely asked for a new Coke Zero. The owner (waiter) didn't bring us a new one and complained about what that meant. We had to wait a really long time for our food. Instead of apologizing, he just sat down and played around with his tablet. I really do NOT recommend this store to ANYONE.

I don't understand the hype. It took forever, the food wasn't anything special and the waiter was a jerk

Too much ego for below average food. :)

Small traditional Tibetan restaurant near Berger Straße. Ate the Tibetan dish “Momos” with vegetables. These are filled dumplings. 10 pieces cost €9.90, and there is vinegar and soy on the table as a sauce. Everything is also available as a vegetarian version, which is a plus. In itself it was tasty, minus points for the unfriendly manner of the waiter/owner.

Absolutely delicious and very friendly. Update 09/27/2024 What a shame!

Very aggressive and unfriendly people. Not recommend.

In my opinion very chewy dumplings. And also bring Bargeld here!!!

The owner/waiter is very arrogant. There were five of us and one of us didn't want to eat because he only came to keep us company. The waiter/owner directly refused to take the remaining 4 people's orders.

The food here is great but the manager was extremely rude. We went there to eat momos but the manager simply refused to give us food because there were 5 of us and we only ordered 3 dishes. Two of our friends didn't want to eat dinner and just wanted to accompany us. The food here is great but the manager was extremely rude.

When I lived in Giessen, Germany, I often enjoyed momo at this place. The taste was consistently excellent every time. The momo were so delicious. However, they didn't serve any sauce with them; you had to mix chili flakes and vinegar to make your own sauce if desired.

One of the worst experiences I had. No respect and very bad attitude towards customers. No good service.

Unfortunately, I agree with all the bad reviews... I saw an advertisement on Instagram and really wanted to try the Maultaschen. The girl in the video said: I'm afraid the place will quickly go viral 😁😁😁 never will😁😁😁 explain why: hardly any service... ok, don't really need it, thanks for the landlord not throwing food in my face, yes well😎 The portion was super tiny: I ordered Maultaschen with beef. What did I get? Correct! Pork😁😁😁😁 I eat pork too, no problem, but I ordered beef... pure bullshit... remaining money was almost thrown in my face... Thanks, but no... never ever! Hope, goes bankrupt and closes...

Food is a dream. Location very basic. Service okay. But as I said: the best Udong noodles in Frankfurt. I often get takeaway food. Delicious and fairly priced.

Their momos are great, go for it without a second thought. Thukpa is also nice. Fried noodles are ok, we've had better. Service is something they can work on, the servers are rude and do not listen easily. When you go, please place all of your order at once, as this place gets crowded quickly and then you'll have to wait an hour for your food.

Food is amazing. Not a great place for a first date, but it is great value for money.

And I guess the owner's son served it. He is a disaster!!! Cheeky and unfriendly! I asked politely twice if he could wipe our table and there was simply no response. He was like that with other guests too. So the food is delicious but I don't go there anymore, I've been there a few times before. Completely unfortunate

Awesome little secret restaurant with huge portions, very tasty specialties and a small but good selection of dishes. Definitely recommend!

I came here without any high expectations considering the place and cheap price, but still I'm really disappointed. The noodles was hard and bland for my personal preference. The momos skin is too thick. I know they give big portion for such low price, but Its better to make smaller portion with better flavour. Or maybe I just don't get tibetan dish? But I have east asian background so I think I know what a good noodle and dumplings is. Oh, and the waiting time took forever. It was full there but only 2 work in the kitchen, I think, and 1 who takes orders. And the service was not it 😭 he dont react to what you say, dont smile and only talk if needed. I mean I don't have any problems with that kind of service and it doesnt weigh in my rating, but I just want to put it out there.

Really bad service Really unfriendly racist and the food wasn't good don't go there

They weren't good, they served badly. The service was very bad. The food wasn't even that good because we had to wait a long time.

Really good food. Ridiculously grumpy service and ok ambience - but did I mention the food's really good? And the prices are Cheap (for Frankfurt). All dishes come vegetarian, possibly vegan as well.

The food was okay, the portions were small and there was an inexplicably long wait even though there was almost nothing going on in the store. The staff was also very unfriendly, barely looked at each other and wasn't helpful either. The food was very fresh, but it wasn't hot and I wouldn't eat here again. Easter ring on a bun or something

The food was delicious and really reasonably priced. It was something different again, gladly again!

Very tasty dish and good prices. Recommend

Left after 15 minutes because we were completely ignored and not even asked about our order.

Momos and Noodles taste great! Visited this place with friends and was delighted by the authentic taste of Momos and noodles. We ate veg momos and they were delicious. Rich in flavors and served hot at a pocket friendly price. The chicken noodles were tasty and the portion size was good. I would recommend this place for its taste and budget friendly rates. On the other hand, I found the service quite slow and the ambience very average.

The ambience is so-so, but the small and fine restaurant scores with super authentic food, large portions, fresh dishes, very good taste and warmth. Only the service was a bit slow, but all in all we had a very nice evening and would love to come back here!

Very tasty and inexpensive! There are great vegetarian dishes and the portions are also very large. I can only recommend ☺️

That was the most annoying restaurant visit of my life. While we were ordering the waiter just turned around annoyed and walked away even though we hadn't finished ordering, we weren't given any plates and had to eat from napkins, it took 35 minutes for the food to be ready, other guests were shouted from a table of 4 rudely chased away because there were only two of them, even though most of the restaurant was empty. Another guest was yelled at because he asked for a plate instead of having to eat from a napkin and the food itself was totally over salted and really not tasty. The waiter then sat down in the middle of the table with a beer while constantly wiping the profuse sweat from his forehead and watched a series loudly on an iPad. In the end he was also angry and rude when I didn't give a tip. Just annoying, it's a wonder he still has guests who are stupid enough to put up with all of this. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

There was no service at all. The waiter says you should clean the table yourself. We waited 1 hour for the table but then behaved as we got free food. The cellar was a child. He looks under 15 and has no desire to work at all. I have never experienced such humiliation anywhere before.

Killer Milla, family and nice to have

Super delicious dumplings and soups. Pasta is all homemade.

The goodness of the food absolutely cannot compensate for the rudeness of the owner. We were greeted in a rude way, as there were five of us, following a reservation for 7 people. We waited almost half an hour to order and, when it came to the bill, two euros were literally thrown at me because I refused to leave a tip. I won't be coming back again

Worst service ever! Avoid at any cost

I'm divided. The Thukpa soup was delicious, especially considering the cheap price. The mokthuk soup as well. Both felt homemade/handmade. The salad was very simple. But we waited almost an hour for our food, which I find inappropriate for a bistro with 9 dishes on the menu. Maybe the restaurant was overloaded with Lieferando orders that day?

Really really good. Always delicious. The restaurant is just small and simple but I like it.

Food is good but you will probably have grandkids by the time the food comes….Owners are in an absolute different world of their own!

Super delicious and inexpensive food. The dumplings are only recommended.

The food is authentic, really tasty and the portions are unbeatable for the price. I'd be happy to wait longer for that. 🙏🏼

Here we know something about good food! Where is the pasta dough made? 10 ⭐️ for that!

A really authentic Tibetan place in Frankfurt. The soups are amazing, generous and very cheap compared to other places.

The food is delicious, but they prepare the food very slowly and you have to wait a long time. Also, waiters can act indifferently.

So the food can't be that tasty to justify the ridiculous waiting time and the non-existent service. Even though there was nothing going on, the order was only taken after 30 minutes. I had to wait another 20 minutes for the drinks and 1.5 hours for the food. I can't recommend anyone

Food is pretty good and tastes truly authentic! The dumplings were amazing and portions are very generous.

Lecker, frisch und preisgünstig. Die Nudeln sind selbstgemacht. Der Service war einbisschen zu langsam. Das kann ich verstehen, weil alles frisch zubereitet worden ist.

Sehr leckeres Essen zu absolut fairen Preisen.

Sehr gutes Essen! Die Nudeln und Teigtaschen sind selbstgemacht und schmecken entsprechend lecker. Die Portionen sind sehr groß und preislich mehr als fair. Der Service war okay, wir durften noch länger sitzenbleiben obwohl das Restaurant eigentlich schon Mittagspause hatte. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert!

The food is absolutely delicious and the price is also cheap but the service is very very slow. The staff don't even care for you for a long time if you don't ask for food even if no customer is around the place. I picked the beer & poured it by myself and the staff took almost 5 minutes to bring me the beer opener and a glass. I waited 30 minutes to get the food.

Wonderful food! It is a small place but very authentic! The Momos are the best in Frankfurt! We go regularly and always enjoy it!

Das Essen ist geschmacklich sehr gut. Leider haben wir nicht bekommen, was wir bestellt haben. Nach dem Hinweis an den schon beim Eintreten nicht gerade freundlich wirkenden Bediener, antwortete dieser mit frechen Begründungen. „Wir haben kein Pac Choi, kein Tofu und keinen Spinat. Sie haben dafür Tomaten und Brokkoli.“ Er war sehr uneinsichtig und warf uns vorwurfsvoll entgegen: „Sie bekommen große Portionen und beschweren sich. Das hat noch keiner gemacht.“ Für uns geht es hier nicht wieder hin. Kundenorientierung kennt man hier nicht.

Food is amazing. The owner who served us the food was super UNFRIENDLY. Food was served to us after 45 mins. He was not responsive to any of our questions. Just rude and unfriendly!!

Leckeres Essen aber extrem unfreundlicher Besitzer. Wir waren kurz davor zu gehen weil er uns angefahren hat dass wir so lange warten mit der Bestellung obwohl wir direkt Vorspeisen bestellt haben. Er hat uns dann keines Blickes mehr gewürdigt und wir haben eine Stunde auf das Essen gewartet. Leider das letzte Mal dort gegessen.

Lokal ist etwas eng, aber das Essen ist top. Der Besitzer ist auch ein sehr lieber Mensch, auch wenn der erste Eindruck streng erschien. Für kleines Geld ist die Menge der Gerichte recht groß und es schmeckt auch noch sehr gut. Wenn ich das nächste Mal wieder Lust auf Momos habe, werde ich auf jeden Fall nochmal vorbeischauen. :) Wir hatten Momos mit Rindfleisch, Nudeln mit Hackfleischsauce und Nudelsuppe. Alles war sehr lecker und zu empfehlen!

Essen ist super lecker, viel und günstig. Man merkt, dass die Nudeln und die Teigtaschen selbst gemacht sind! Der Inhaber war sehr unfreundlich und hat zu viel Geld behalten wollen. Jedoch hat das gute Essen dies wieder wett gemacht.

Die Speisekarte ist mit 12 Gerichten überschaubar. Das Essen hat aber sehr gut geschmeckt. Die hausgemachten Nudeln waren genau richtig, nicht zu weich, nicht zu fest. Die Hackfleischsoße war perfekt gewürzt und die Portion groß. Ein gutes Abendessen mit Tee für 10 Euro, da kann man doch rundum zufrieden sein. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Der Gastraum war etwas kühl, da bei unter 10 Grad Außentemperatur die Fenster offen standen.

Best homemade soups! And great service! My favorite from this side of the city.

Hier ist ganz klar der Fokus auf dem Essen. Es dauert zwar unter Umständen etwas länger, aber alles ist frisch zubereitet und das schmeckt man. Die Preise sind fair. Die Nudeln könnten etwas mehr Soße vertragen. Ansonsten alles super.

Love the place, favorite go-to! =)

It's a small place but serves good Tibetian dishes for a cheap price compared to other Tibetian restaurants in Frankfurt. For the amount you can expect decent food. The momos were tasty but could have been more filled with veggies,but the chutney served was very delicious and the chicken chowmein was good for the price but was not happy with the chicken as it was too rubbery and one of my friends shared the same experience, so I would recommend Momos👍

Sehr leckere und vergleichsweise preiswerte Speisen. Die Zubereitung dauerte ihre Zeit (meiner Meinung nach aber vollkommen im Rahmen) und geschmacklich war es wirklich super. Die Einrichtung war einfach und verfügte über viele authentische Elemente. Die Parkplatzsituation ist im Sandweg etwas schwieriger aber es gibt ein nahegelegenes Parkhaus, welches lediglich 1€/Stunde kostet.

For anyone who likes handmade noodles this would be a perfect choice. As I visited this place for over 2 years I can give a fair remark. While all restaurants are pricing more, this place sticks to the best price, a big Bier/Apfelschorle/cola costs only 2.6€?! The owner and his family are shy to express themselves, this doesn’t mean the guests are not welcome. Highly recommended as frequent customer👍

Super leckeres traditionelles & authentisches Essen. Wir waren bereits öfters hier, können wir nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Er bedient alleine, also haben Sie bitte etwas Geduld. Bei Nummer 8 muss man viel Soja Sauce hinzufügen. Aber war sehr lecker und auch günstig!

Sehr leckeres Essen. Die Nudeln mit der Hackfleischsosse sind einmalig. Unbedingt probieren. Leider gibt es keinen Lieferservice.

Tried the Tibetan dishes at this restaurant, and I must say they are incredibly delicious. The portion sizes are quite generous, and you'll definitely feel like you're getting great value for your money. However, I did encounter some service issues during my visit. It seems that the owner might need a little more training in hospitality 😉. Despite that, the tatsy food makes it worth a visit!

Das Essen ist okay. Man merkt, dass die Dumplings und Nudeln selbst gemacht sind. In meiner Suppe waren die selbstgemachten Nudeln allerdings großteils nicht wirklich voneinander getrennt, sodass ich statt fünf breiter Nudeln einen Kloß an Teig hatte. Trotzdem hat es ganz gut geschmeckt. Für mein Empfinden aber auch nicht besonders. Der Besitzer war ehrlich gesagt nicht sehr freundlich. Er hat genervt gewirkt. Vielleicht hatte er einfach einen schlechten Tag. Das Ambiente ist in Ordnung drinnen. Würde eventuell wiederkommen, allerdings auch nur, da es vergleichsweise günstig ist.

Super Preisleistung. Chef sehr knauserig, aber authentisch. Bestens für To-Go geeignet, da das Restaurant nicht das Gemutlichste ist. Alles sehr lecker..

Beste in ganz Frankfurt. Ich habe viel probiert aber hier ist Top lecker.

Sehr leckeres Essen und super nette Mitarbeiter :)

Delicious food with amazing Indian music :p Definitely a go to place
