Cafe Tibet, built onto the side of a building atop the subway platform
The food is delicious with traditional Tibetan soups, street snacks, curry and noodles, and some dishes come with a side of rice or steamed Tibetan bread called Tingma. For refreshment, order Lassi or various uniquely flavored teas, like peanut butter (!), salted butter tea, or honey ginger lemon.
