Tibetan Kitchen Cafe

Pemba has taken her love of cooking and refined it over the years, with the result that every dish is her own original recipe. Even as a child in Kalimpong, a small village in the Himalayas, Pemba was drawn to the art of cooking. That love stemmed from her mother’s culinary lessons at home, which taught her how to blend spices and create curries from scratch. Now, decades later, Pemba channels her ever-growing passion for cooking into each dish she handcrafts at her eatery, Tibetan Kitchen. The eatery has even been so successful that it's even been featured on Food Network's You Gotta Eat Here!.

Pemba is known for her mild curries—medium and hot available upon request—using a gluten-free or dairy-free substitute with a creamy cashew sauce base. Each curry comes with a handy absorbent side: White rice, brown rice, or poori, a deep-fried unleavened bread. Because many dishes use nuts, Tibetan Kitchen cannot alter menu items to accommodate nut allergies.
