Not as authentic as other government restaurants

The place is nice and clean - not too overly "ethnic" either, but the food (according to Tibetan friends who dined with us) falls short of authentic. The tsampa looked like mooncakes, clearly machine made, and the yogurt was obviously local, not Tibetan. The yak butter tea and a number of dishes were good, however, probably justifying a visit for people new to Tibetan cuisine.
