I've only had it a few times, after a Tibetan restaurant opened around the corner from me (I also learned for the first time that there is a substantial Tibetan community in Toronto; though I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, I was), but I'd describe it as almost a combination of Thai, Chinese and Indian - heavy on the meet, light on sauces, with a steamed bread on the side, rather than rice. Spicy, but not curry, lots of (I think) corriander.
