From the roof of the world

A tiny kitchen with mountain patience

Named for Lhasa — the city on the roof of the world — minilhasa is small on purpose. Small menu, small room, enormous flavour.

  • Momo dough rolled and pleated by hand every morning
  • Broths simmered for hours — never rushed, never from a packet
  • Spices ground in-house: timur, cumin, chilli, and a little patience
