For the four course dinner, starting from appetizer to snacks to main course and ending with a dessert, ordering following cuisine might be a safe choice. The deliciously cooked chicken barley soup seasoned with mild basic seasoning is a power-packed appetizer to begin with. The meatballs done with mild spices and typical herbs have a juicy texture and are complemented by the sauce and if you ask for a reduced sauce, you will be served your meatballs with gravy rather than broth. The Tibetan Shabalay consists of deep fried meat patties with a filling of mildly herbed and spiced minced chicken.
