Tara’s Himalayan (SaMo branch)…
My first and only other taste of Tara’s was the Venice branch a few yrs ago. I found it kind of bland then, so I wasn’t sure what to expect this time around… I actually rather enjoyed it this time around, but partner did not (didn’t hate, but isn’t particularly interested in having it again).
We had the chicken momo, lamb shank, okra, and and spinach naan. Chicken momo looks like a cross btw a jao-zi and a vareniki. Was homey and comforting to me, but I think partner doesn’t have the same association w/ dumplings that I do. 
Accompanying sauce is described as “achaar,” but I got more coconut w/ only a tiny sour flavor (and wouldn’t have minded more of the sour). Also not sure if they’re grinding the meat in-house b/c there was a tiny piece of cartilage in one of the dumplings.
Loved the sauce for the lamb shank (which was surprisingly sweet, although not unpleasantly so). Partner thought the lamb could’ve been cooked down much more, and he had a point. For whatever reason, though, I didn’t mind the slight chew.
Okra was probably my favorite dish. Partner thought it was too “dark” tasting. I get the dark part, but I really liked the complexity.
Spinach naan was kind of dull. Not much in the way of flavor, and the dough itself was quite pale. I do wonder if it might’ve been better eaten at the restaurant.
Rice is included w/ each entree, which is a bit excessive, IMHO (nothing we ate was that “saucy” to require a starch).
The place is a bit too pricey for a regular-rotation place for me (I probably could’ve easily eaten another app or small entree), but I’d happily return otherwise.
