Go here for authentic Tibetan fare with a smattering of Japanese (which I found interesting, more on that later) and some Chinese (which is unnecessary since the others are so much better).
Usual suspects of momos and thukpa rub shoulders with some very interesting dishes like the fried thenthuk - fried flatter noodles and meat of choice; mothuk - momos dunked in a yummy gravy; shabaley - like gigantic samosas, stuffed with meat and delicious (according to my friends) and my personal favourite, malaphing - a soupy spicy noodle which came with a very fluffy tibetan bread called tingmo. The tingmo reminded me of the texture of a bao but in a different format because it was a coiled and not flat. I'm waiting to go back to try the sozemein that I glimpsed on other tables (yes, I asked, it looked that yummy). Portions are humongous! No seriously, they are. They also have few Japanese offerings like miso soup, ramen and on Saturdays, Sushi! Cheap, well made SUSHI! I have found the jackpot!
Service is fantastic. Very gracious and eager to explain what the dishes are all about. Definitely do have a chat with the staff, it left a smile on my face.
This homely eatery is chock-full of natives enjoying a taste of home and the vibe is reflected in the lovely name. Lungta means best wishes or good luck, something you'd say when greeting guests at home.
Overall i would recommend trying this place if you're looking for something different.
