OM Restaurant and Bar

Awesome food! Loved it and been back a few times since I first discovered this spot last year. Great service and great food, cant beat that!

**3.5stars**
This place was a warm welcome on a cold day after we found out that Tibet Kitchen (TK) was closed.
We entered and were promptly seated by a smiling waiter.
We ordered:
1.Hot and Sour Soup: This was really good!
2.Tibet Tea: There was no description of it and I didn’t realize it had butter and salt. Not my style! Masala Chai anyway for me
3.Chicken and Beef Momo: Although the outer cover was a bit too thick for my liking, the filling was amazing. The mix of flavours was very different for what I had tried anywhere. It was also pretty filling.(Beef was my favourite along with their homemade sauce!)
4. Beef Tripe: Good but not as good as TK’s
5. Chilly Chicken: Ok, TK’s is better.
6. Rice: Amazing (I know its just rice but I really liked the colourful basmati that was really week cooked)
Overall, I don’t know if I’ll go back for the Tibetan cuisine but the rice tasted so good that I really want to go try their North-​Indian food.

We ordered take out from here recently. The food was really fresh and delicious. My kids love momos and we love Indian food so it was a great choice for takeout. The food was ready in about 20 minutes and they were very friendly when I came to pick it up. We will definitely come again.

Great place, we had the tandoori shrimp, tandoori chicken, beef momo’s, naan, butter chicken, rice and these pastry dumplings.
Seemed like a lot of food but we finished it all but one dumpling which we took home.
5 stars food
3 stars ambiance
5 stars attitude
Will return soon to treat some friends coming to town.

Amazing prices (student friendly) for the quality and quantity of food. I like the set up of the restaurant too! Possibly my favourite restaurant in the Parkdale area.
I had the vegetarian lunch special. The portion size was quite big, and it wasn’t oily at all like how some other restaurants prepare it.

The onion bhajis were exemplary! The aloo mushrooms were also quite flavorful. Service was good.

I was reluctant to write a review because I wanted to keep this little gem all to myself.
Never have I ever had a meal where we paid slightly over 40 (!!) dollars for three people — with food being so flavourful and delicious. This place is a magical gem, it transports you to Tibet and soothes your soul, mind and stomach. I recommend momos, guyma sausage, stir fries, okra and freshly baked naan. We are definitely going back soon. Thank you, Om!

So this was my first time trying Tibetan food, so I didn’t know what to expect. However, for the most part I was pretty satisfied. My wife and I ordered the Indian onion bhajia for an appetizer which was good. We then split the steamed chicken dumpling which was a little dry, and phingsha a noodle soup with vegetables and beef. We both loved the soup. As for the service we went on a Sunday evening and were the only people there so no complaints. Definitely going to try more Tibetan food in the future

My favourite local take out!
I order mostly Indian dishes: chicken or beef korma, karahi, vindaloo, saag. veggie dishes: chana nasal, navaratan makhini, pakoras. Naan is great.
But most of all, their service is so pleasant, whether it’s take out or dine in.
Reasonable prices, can’t go wrong!

Tasty North Indian and Tibetan food. I have tried mostly everything from their menu including momos (Tibetan dumplings) and various kinds of north Indian dishes. Appropriately spiced and delicious accompaniment with butter naans. The food is somewhere between outstanding and mediocre, same goes for the service.
Secret tip: They have lime-​n-​lemony Limca, Thums Up taste-​the-​thunder and such classic Indian soft drinks.

We must have seen this restaurant on a random trip a few months back, and remembered it on our way to the Ossington Strip.
Walked in — it was a bit cold, but they made a big effort to make it warm in the restaurant.
As vegetarians, we ordered:
Veggie noodle soup — Was pretty amazing, and a full portion
Veggie Steamed buns — tasty and made on the premise
Navratam makhni — normally I really dislike sweet indian meals, but this was pretty amazing.
Yes — I will be back

On a weeknight when a girlfriend and I met up for an early dinner at OM, we couldn’t help but notice that all of the other patrons were male. It didn’t bother us, but we definitely made note of this as well as the fact that many of them seemed to be regulars. In any case, we were quickly greeted upon entering and provided with very pleasant service throughout our meal.
We shared the fish curry which was a spicy tomato sauce featuring generous chunks of white fish, the palak paneer featuring large cubes of the homemade cheese, fluffy butter naan, and flavourfully spiced peas pulao.
A half litre of their house wine (for just $ 9.99!) made for a cheap and cheerful accompaniment.

I’m a fan of a lot of places, it seems. This one is no exception.
Great back patio, good prices and great food.
We ordered a couple of beers, butter chicken, garlic naan and rice. All were awesome and we left full, AND with a little bit of leftovers.
Check the back patio, it’s a little hidden gem. Service was great and friendly and I would absolutely go back.

Been to OM Many times. Very happy with the quality. Food is very tasty. Have dined in several times with good service and have done takeout a few times. Garlic naan is delish. Lamb vindaloo is nice and tender. Butter chicken is great. And the vegetable pakoras are about the best I’ve ever had. If I had to give one critique it would be that the portion sizes could be a little bigger.
Overall, visit this place.

x2 what Tony said.
Pretty good but not quite sure it’s worth the drive to Parkdale (hyuk-​yuk)
The beef dumplings were fairly hideous. Thick skinned and bland, not fresh tasting whatsoever.
The Sample Sizzler platter thing was decent. $ 12.99 for a large naan and a sample plate with tandoori chicken pieces, tandoori tofu, and some beef sausage.
Everything about this place was just completely 3 stars, I really can’t find fault with anything but there was no OMNOMNOM factor.
I did, however, enjoy the gossip.

Ummm. uhhh… Om.
This place has been on my TDL (To do list) for a while now and on a whim went tonight.
Om err. was not exactly Omnomerific, but that might have been because of what we ordered vs the general quality of the place. We shared a sizzling meat platter + an order of Beef Dumplings and a side of Garlic Naan.
I think I had the same issue with both dishes, that both were a bit bland. While the Beef dumplings came with a tasty chilli sauce, the sizzling platter (Chicken Tandoori, fried hard tofu, and a tibetan sausage) smelled awesome, but all were just a tad dry.
The naan that came with the sizzling platter and our extra order of garlic naan was yummie, but it was really craving something with sauce.
Om is exactly the type of hole in the wall type mom and pop place that I’d love to blow up and be a success (much like Khmer Thai last year). The service was ok, as the whole place was being taken care of by one guy (most likely the owner).
I think there’s really good potential here, and will definitely have to do it again. Maybe next time with a bigger group (UYE anyone?) so that we can sample a few more dishes.
I think the 3 star rating is more a place mark until I go back. I so desperately want to fall in love with this place. It’s kind like dating a very boring hot chick. Just praying there’s something more interesting the next time. Like Luda says. I’m hoping this chick bad, this chick hood, I hope this chick do stuff that yo’ chick wish she could.
So for now, I’m going to have to just wait for my next OmNomNom experience.

A couple words about OM: it’s super clean, nice ambience, the staff are super friendly, the prices are SUPER reasonable (where else can you get dinner for $ 6?!), and I love how this seems to be a favourite hangout spot for the Tibetan community. I also like how they offer Indian food.
However, as my second ever Tibetan food experience I’ve come to realize that I’m not a huge Tibetan food fan. If I was, I would definitely give this place 5 stars.
We ordered momos — usually I’m a dumpling fan but perhaps being raised on Cantonese-​style dumplings and gyoza I find momos to be slightly bland — the vegetable ones were very perogy like with a very thick skin and the chicken ones were almost like the Cantonese ones, again except for the skin. I did however, enjoy the hot sauce on the side.
Mango lassis were great, and we also ordered fish pakoras which were a tad like eating fish sticks (except with a tiny bit more spice.) — they were unfortunately, slightly soggy.
I would give a higher rating to OM but I felt that the food could be slightly improved.

OM Restaurant has the honour to be my 500^th Unilocal’s reviews.
Om Restaurant serves both Indian and Tibetan Food.
This is my first experience with Tibetan food.
Jasha MOMO = Dumplings (Tibet), Devil (Filipino) My dog (in my world)
The momo here is quite good. The stick is a little thicker than the Chinese ones I used to and they are less juicy/​soupy. I am of course a fan of the spicy sauce.
Masala Chai = Indian Milk Tea with Indian Spice and Herb
The Indian Milk Tea is really rich and milky which give it a nice and silky texture. It really reminds me of the HK style Milk Tea I enjoy. The only difference is the touch of ginger and cardamom. Of course the whole milk and the sweetener here is heated together over the stove. I love it! (I am not thinking about fat content and calories!)
Chicken Vindaloo not equal to Chicken Curry. Vindaloo suppose to be the King of Curries which is actually Portuguese in origin. when it arrives in Goa, India it had been modified by adding plentiful amounts of traditional spice and using malt vinegar instead of red wine. I love the spice inside! Not just hot but has depth in it.
Chilli Pork = a Tibetan dish makes with Pork Belly which 80% is fat cooked in more chilli oil with real hot pepper. Pork Belly is the fattest part of a pig and for some it is the most flavoured and yummy part. It is spicy for sure and I really enjoyed eating the fresh pepper inside. I hope someone would thinks those are green onions and just eat them by mistakes!
Thanks for my fellow Unilocalers making my 500^th Unilocal reviews so special. Not only organizing a food crawl in somewhere I never been Parkdale, Taking me to new places, Trying out new food, sharing my meals, laughters and a wonderful time!

This was MY first visit to OM Restaurant. I’m still A-​OKAY (Survived). 3.5 *Star*
Of course, we had to order the Jasha Momo ($ 6.99), not two but one order. We love that they came out with Spicy Hot Sauce from being steamed and straight to our table — so spicy, red and HOT. (7.50÷10.00)
Chili Pork ($ 8.99). Fried Porkbelly sautéed with Tomato, Onion, Ginger, Garlic and Green Chili. I liked the sauce and COULD stop dipping in it with Garlic Naan. (8.50÷10.00)
Chicken Vindaloo ($ 8.99). We ordered this dish for the first time. Chicken had been cooked and simmered in spices. It was aight and tender. (7.00÷10.00)

This was our fourth visit to OM Restaurant. I’m still a fan.
Of course, we had to order the garlic naan again, not one but two orders. We love that they came out hot from the oven and straight to our table — so tasty, light and fluffy. (¹⁰⁄₁₀)
Chili Chicken. Fried chicken sautéed with tomato, onion, ginger, garlic and green chili. I loved the sauce and couldn’t stop dipping in it with garlic naan. (⁷⁄₁₀)
Beef Karahi. We ordered this dish for the first time. Beef had been cooked and simmered in spices. It was very good and tender. (⁷⁄₁₀)
Service was excellent as always. They take phone orders: 416−532−3901. I counted 12 vegetarian dishes on the menu.
