The food is amazing, top quality, lots of tasty veg alternatives, staff are lovely and prices ensure great value for your money. Tara will frequently come out of the kitchen to say hello and check-in. It is one of my favorite places.

Loved this place and its humble workers. Great Tara food for whenever you are in the mood. The workers are great and so is the food. You won't regret eating here.

Haven’t come to Tara’s in over five years. Loved the food then, and still love it now. This time, I ordered the chicken momos (dumplings), Sherpa stew, and a mixed bbq platter to share with my sister. Needless to say, it was too much for both of us so we had leftovers. Definitely recommend this restaurant for the food and ambiance :)
