Tenz, Tibetan restaurant in Zurich, Switzerland.
Tenz is a Tibetan restaurant in Zurich that serves various types of momos, traditional dumplings filled with beef, vegetables, and mushrooms alongside dipping sauces. Beyond these specialties, the menu includes other dishes from Tibetan cuisine.
The restaurant started as a food stand at the Zurich Food Festival before opening its first permanent location at Lochergut. A second location followed later on Langstrasse.
The restaurant reflects authentic Tibetan food culture through handmade dumplings prepared using traditional methods passed down through generations. Diners can experience how these dishes form an important part of everyday meals in Tibetan communities.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 to 14:00 and 17:30 to 23:00, with weekend hours starting at 16:00. The small size of the momos allows you to sample several varieties in one visit.
The restaurant produces five different homemade sauces, including a signature chili sauce now sold in Coop stores across Zurich and Aargau. This in-house production demonstrates how the kitchen has gained recognition in the local community.
