Tara’s is our go to for Goat curry and Momo’s. Staff is friendly and take effort to know if we like the food or need something else. Try their Red Sangria, it won’t disappoint you. I like the outdoor seating on a sunny day! Parking is very small and can fit max 2-3 cars so you have to search for street parking.

Love Tara's Himalayan! Biked here earlier today. Always order the samosas. Everything on the menu is so good, it's vegetarian friendly and has a peaceful outdoor patio surrounded by plants. The atmosphere is wonderful and the owner is really lovely. We always have a good meal and experience!

Tara’s Himalayan Cuisine is truly a hidden gem in LA! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped right into the heart of the Himalayas. The food is authentic, flavorful, and prepared with such care that every bite feels special. You can taste the love and tradition in each dish. What really makes this place shine is Tara herself - her warmth, passion, and genuine hospitality create such a welcoming experience. She clearly pours her heart into the restaurant, and it shows in every detail. I left feeling satiated, happy, and already excited to come back! Highly recommend to anyone who loves delicious food with soul!

I had an incredible dining experience at this Nepali restaurant! The flavors were absolutely authentic, and the balance of spices was spot on. Their momo (dumplings) are a must-try – perfectly steamed, with juicy fillings and a delicious dipping sauce that brings everything together. The yak chili was another standout dish, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of heat to awaken your taste buds. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, with subtle Nepali decor that gave it a warm, homely feel. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a culinary adventure that combines bold flavors and comforting dishes, this is the place to be. Highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic Nepali cuisine or wants to try something new. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

I’ve lived in the neighborhood forever and had no idea Tara’s Himalayan was this amazing! The food? Out of this world — flavorful, comforting, and honestly addictive. Our server, Anu, was fantastic — warm, sweet, and she is so cute! And Tara, the owner, is just as lovely. The whole place feels like a cozy hidden gem you’ll want to keep coming back to. If you haven’t been yet, go. Like… now. You’re welcome.
