In the international world of cuisine, Tibetan cuisine is categorized as part of Himalayan/Nepalese cuisine. Perhaps, due to lack of vegetables andvarious ingredients that are favorable to foreigners, Tibetan cuisine is often served along with Nepalese, Indian, Chinese and even Bhutanese cuisine in these restaurants abroad. Traditional Tibetan cuisine reflects its geographic limitations in growing various crops, plants and animals in the region. Thus, its main dishes are often tsampa (barley), noodles, potato dishes, yoghurt, butter and meat dishes of mutton and beef.
在国际的烹饪和菜系中，藏餐归属于喜马拉雅/尼泊尔菜肴。或许是藏餐中缺乏蔬菜和各类的配料，很多国外的餐厅喜欢把藏餐和尼泊尔菜，印度菜，中餐甚至不丹菜混合起来，提供给顾客。传统的藏餐因为地域和气候原因，在食材上面比较匮乏。当人们议论藏餐，主要指的是糌粑，面食，土豆菜，酸奶，酥油，以及牛羊肉制成的食物。
With Tibetan population scattered around the world these days, Tibetan cuisine is brought to various countries and begins to form a modern fusion cuisine.Curry, masala, seafood, chicken, and various vegetables are commonly mixed inmodern version of Tibetan cuisine.
随着越来越多的藏族人移居海外将藏族饮食文化带到各个国度，藏餐逐渐和其他菜系融合演变。在国外很多的藏餐厅里，咖喱, 格兰马撒拉等调味, 还有海鲜以及各种蔬菜都常用于新式藏餐的制作。
