Taste of the Himalayas
I mentioned momo in my last post, so I have to mention Taste of the Himalayas! I was back on the West Coast for a meeting in San Francisco and staying in the Marina District. One of my goals for the trip was a revisiting Taste of the Himalayas.
Located on the busy and noisy Lombard Street, TotH is an island of peace and calm. On my previous visit, my companion and I ordered the prix fixe meal that was literally and endless feast of delights. As an added bonus, the restaurant was nearly empty and we received particularly attentive service from the staff. On this visit, that option wasn't offered, so the three of us selected from the regular menu. Our service, was great (but - note to self - I think I'm a bit too old to be sitting on pillows on the floor, take a seat next time!)
Of course momo was mandatory and we went with the vegetarian option. We also received the dal that came with the entrees. For entrees, we went with a selection of lamb, chicken, and vegetarian: Bheda ko Tarkari (lamb cooked in onion and tomatoes), Saag paneer (spinach and cheese) and a chicken curry. Sides of bread, raita finished off the meal.
If you're in the Marina District, you'll probably be tempted to stick with the chi-chi spots located alone Chestnut Street, but do climb that extra block to reach the culinary heights of Taste of the Himalayas!
