We love this spot. We've been looking for some good Himalayan cuisine and came across Tara's and have found a new favorite food spot in general. The food is amazing and the staff was very kind! I can't wait to go back! I'd give 6 stars if I could!

Devendia was our front end server and we are so excited to come try Himalayan food in LA! This is a definite hole in the wall vibe restaurant, but the interior and exterior is actually really nice and decorated for a family restaurant. Just to set expectation, Service style is at first seeming to be classic hole in the wall as in you will walk in and they will greet you friendly and then eventually after fifteen minutes in a complete empty restaurant the server will eventually come up and ask you what you'd like but once they do, they are fabulous and provide great service which I will detail below! Tldr very very slow at start so be prepared for that and if you're hoping to come in a rush, call ahead! But I didn't mind at all since we had a really long lunch period today (~50 minutes) and I am very glad we came in person to support this wonderful Nepalese restaurant. Two things made me want to definitely come back to this restaurant hands-down and give it a 5 star review. Number one they accommodated my dietary request to make the mango lassi completely sugar-free. This meant they had to go into the back of the restaurant and blend just for my order, but they didn't make a fuss, and they were super kind about it, which I really appreciated. They even brought me a small cup of their regular mango lassi to see if I could tolerate the sugar and when I could not, they simply went ahead with making it sugar free and said no problem. This made me immediately think service here is fantastic! I tipped more as a thank you at the end of the meal as well to say thank you. Number two, they were also very upfront on the first page of their menu about being willing to make accommodations to fit peoples dietary needs, which I thought was a fabulous aspect of their restaurant. I took a picture of the first page to show you all basically there is a paragraph that says their kitchen is able to accommodate all needs gluten-free, low salt no added salt, sugar-free etc. I really applaud Tara's for supporting all their customers in this way and this alone, in words and through the actions of the restaurant staff here, went a long way towards their ultimate 5 star rating. We also ordered chili yak, house mixed platter, chicken momo, garlic naan, mango lassi, strawberry lassi all with no added salt/low salt- and no sugar except the strawberry lassi. Chicken momo- yum, too salty but delicious. Also my favorite, wish there is a way to ask for no salt but it's premade. Chili yak- first time trying yak, gamey but tender, sweet seasoning. House mixed platter- shrimp and tandoori chicken were standouts Saag paneer- definitely could tell they made it to order, delicious with low/no salt! Mango lassi no sugar- tart and delicious Strawberry lassi normal- "extremely tasty" Garlic naan- incredibly yummy Thank you Devendia for your attentive service and to Tara's for being a restaurant just a few streets down from us that is now one of our go-tos! We couldn't find street parking and walked a whole long block over but next time I'll park outside Blossom during daytime hours.

Had to write another review since January 2024 because this restaurant provides a constant excellence in every aspect of the business: food, service and ambiance. Lamb and chicken dishes were absolutely delicious, paired with a refreshing and tasty sangria and Himalayan beer. Can't wait to go back again.

Amazing food and great story behind this local family owned restaurant. You need to go and meet Tara yourself. She is open and friendly to talk about her business. All the dishes are authentic and feel like you are eating generations of passed down recipes.
