About Us

The name TENZIN: The name "Tenzin" is one of the most common and revered names in Tibetan culture, often given as an honorific title or personal name. It is closely associated with Tibetan Buddhism, and its significance comes from the name of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, who is the spiritual leader of Tibet. In Tibetan, "Tenzin" means "holder of the teachings" or "upholder of the Dharma," referring to someone who protects or sustains the teachings of the Buddha. Many Tibetans choose this name in respect for the Dalai Lama or as a way to honor their deep connection to Buddhism. It carries the weight of spiritual responsibility and is a symbol of faith, wisdom, and devotion. This name is also often bestowed by high-ranking lamas or spiritual figures, making it even more significant in Tibetan communities. By choosing the name TENZIN for our restaurant, we aim to embody these values in every aspect of what we do. Just as Tenzin represents a deep sense of responsibility and respect for tradition, we bring that same dedication to the food we prepare for you. We hope that when you dine with us, you’ll not only enjoy our dishes but also feel the love, care, and attention that go into every meal we serve. ("the owner his name is also tenzin" ;)
