Excellent food. The cauliflower and potato appetizers, shrimp curry, Momas, and noodle dishes were delicious each with unique flavors. The waitstaff were very friendly and helped us choose the dishes and the right amount of food for our party of 8. Would definitely eat here again!

The food was authentic, good and well served. We enjoyed the full course: appetizers, soup (beans) was nice and cozy (if I can apply "cozy" to soup (-;), and a few other dishes. My guests - first timers enjoyed themselves.

Food was very bland especially the chowmein & sizzler despite us requesting the food to be spicy. So if you're looking for spicy and tasty food, this is not the right place for you. Also portion size was pretty small for the high priced items. And servicing was very slow to respond and accommodate our requests.

Food was excellent. It was really busy on a Tuesday night but the food came quickly & was hot & tasty. We liked everything we ordered. Food is spicy except the momos.

We enjoyed our lunch here. Nice ambiance, albeit a little dark. But quiet. We both had curry dishes. I had the mixed vegetable curry, and my friend had the lentil curry. The lentil curry was more like a soup. I liked the mixed vegetable curry. I would have tried something else, but the rice and breads start at $5, a little steep, unless it’s enough for two. The service was OK, but the waiters didn’t speak English very well. I may come back and try something else.

Excellent food. Great value. Will definitely recommend Rara to others and go back myself. It was pretty noisy in there but maybe that was due to the large party. And the service was off - not so helpful from time to time. Had to remind them a couple of times to give us serving utensils and clear plates from appetizers. But overall it was excellent. They have a large menu with a lot of interesting dishes. Great Nepalese dishes. Loved it!!!

I consider Rara quite a find. The food was delicious, mildly spiced as we asked, and authentic - we'd never had dishes like these before. The Momo dumplings were special. The goat was deliciously prepared as were all the side dishes. The service was cheerful and prompt and unobtrusive. We enjoyed the paintings and lighting fixtures. A most enjoyable experience.

Tried Rara for the first time with my family. I’ve had Nepali food before, they have not. All of us enjoyed Rara. Service is casual, so it can take a bit of time to flag down a waiter, but it’s on par with other similar restaurants. Cozy ambience. Some of the food is very spicy, and not always clearly marked as such, so definitely ask before you commit. Standouts for us were the gorkhali lamb shank (fell off the bone and the rice was great too), the momos (we didn’t think there was a need to get the sizzler, so we just got the regular momos), and the very spicy mushroom chhoila. We also enjoyed the goat taas (also pretty spicy) and the paratha. The lassi was also good (and helpful with the spicier food). We didn’t try the curries but they also looked very good; it seems like they do a really good job with slow cooked meats or really anything that has to braise/simmer. Definitely a good place to order family style so that you can try everything (they don’t make it obvious that you can do it that way). Flavors were rich and deep, but the food wasn’t overly heavy either - really well-cooked. Will definitely go back!
