| - There are very few foods I would qualify as crack - but one particular dish at Norling belongs in my personal crack category.
We arrived on a Friday evening around 6:30 PM, and the place was filling up. Starving, we ordered right away: a) the beef momos pan fried, b) the beef chilly, c) the tsey khatsa, and d) one butter tea, to try.
The beef momos were quite delicious, moist, yet crispy. The beef chilly was decent, with a nice kick to it. The butter tea was a little too oily for my liking - literally, it was like drinking a cup of melted butter. But... the highlight of the meal, the dish that made me sit up and think - whoa, ding ding ding!, yes, I'm coming back here. Imagine deep fried, crispy vegetable pakoras perfectly cooked and drenched in the most delicious sweet and spicy sauce - my friends, I present the Tsey Khatsa. A vegetarian dish worth swooning over; you're doing yourself a disservice by not ordering it when visiting this restaurant. This stuff is magical - a must-try.
Overall, we really enjoyed our time here. It looked like they were very short-staffed (one server, and a couple of cooks), so it took almost 40 minutes to even get our bill. But nonetheless, very patient and friendly staff, and an overall delicious meal. We will definitely be back.
For two people, with tax, and tip, we paid around $37.00, approximately. Note that street parking in front of the restaurant was around $2.00 an hour.
