Kajala Restaurant

Lhasa


Named after a Bollywood film star, this Tibetan-run local restaurant gamely tries Chinese, Tibet (yak and potato stew), Nepali ( chicken tikka) and western (yak pizza) dishes. Not all are entirely successful but the food is good value and the almost entirely Tibetan clientele provide a buzzing authentic vibe that's missing in the other Nepali places in town.

The cheapest Chinese combo dishes with rice (盖饭, gàifàn) have no English translation on the menu.
