Martsa On Elm - Somerville

My favorite at Martsa is chili chicken.You got to try it...delish..mmmmm

My girlfriend and I really loved the food here. Pretty much everything was delicious and so flavorful. The ambience was also very nice quiet and peaceful but also busy as the night went on. The shrimp curry was absolutely amazing. The Bhale Tibetan bread was light and fluffy and so yummy. The soups were both delicious. The Tibetan tea was comforting and tasty but also strange if you hadn’t had it before. The momos (dumplings) were probably our least favorite dish as the dough wasn’t as light and flavorful as we’d have wished. We’d probably award this 4.5 stars if possible a half star deduction because the service wasn’t very good. They were a bit inattentive (we didn’t have our waters filled once without us asking) and they were a bit standoffish. But the speed of the food arriving and the quality of the food compensated well. In any case, we’ll definitely be back!!

We absolutely love Martsa on Elm and try to come weekly or biweekly. The food here is consistently incredible and we’ve tried a lot of the menu. Definitely get the pumpkin appetizer. All of their teas are delicious. My favorite dish right now is the spicy beef noodles. Make sure to order your food quickly because the kitchen isn’t speedy, but it is totally worth the wait.

This is my second time at this restaurant. I was disappointed the first time I came in here. But since I had heard a lot about this place, I decided to give it another go. Some items on the menu are ok while others are really nice. Try Thukpas- Tibetan ramen. If you like spice, try the spicy ones. The pumpkin balls are good. Ambience makes it worth visiting once along with good food.

Loved the place and food. Tibetian food is very similar to Thai Indian. Ambience of the restaurant is amazing and have lots of vegetarian options on the menu. Cost of items is pretty reasonable. Didn't like thupka (steamed bread) a lot. Momo's are really good. Would definitely visit here again.
