Ok we went back and Yall Got to Try to Carrot Cake Dessert! (If they have it...). It actually is real healthy caked carrot, not like you're thinking, but it's made good with spices and talent! The momo's were delicious! And we also got the bison jerky plate again, which is kinda what I want here . We're gonna be back! read more

Love all the flavors! We ordered: Dal that khana set chicken $27.99 - a very interesting presentation but the actual chicken curry is just a tiny bowl so I dunno about the value of this item. Chhoila chicken Momo 10 pcs $19.98 -- I was warned about the spice level that this can be really spicy and in actuality, it's not that spicy -- so if you're used to eating spicy food, you'll enjoy this dumpling. For reviewers who didn't enjoy the momos, it's probably because they ordered a plain version. Timur chicken $18.99 - this one was the highlight! Has that numbing Sichuan pepper -- simply delicious! Buffalo jhaneko sekuwa set $23.99 - spicy and flavorful. My only critique is that there wasn't enough buffalo Service was polite. Wait was 15 minutes for dishes to arrive to the table. Ambiance is typical dark vibe. I love the comfortable booth seating. Not crowded at all at 3pm on a Friday. Parking was about a block away. Total bill was $99.25 for 4 dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed most of the flavors and my overall experience was good but the portions for the meat are rather small so I have to mark down a star for overall value. read more

I have visited Rara a few times now and it has consistently been high quality, delicious authentic Nepalese cuisine. They have several vegan options clearly marked. Some of my favorite: 1. Peanut Sadheko 2. Cauli 8848- cauliflower is crispy, dipped in delicious sauce 3. Kathal (jackfruit) and aloo curry- must try with rice or roti 4. Daal and rice 5. Veg momo, delicious 6. Vegan yatra cake - carrot halwa, vegan Service is quick, nice ambiance. Parking is easy. Definitely give them a try! read more

I had the cauli 8848 delivered through a work lunch delivery service and it was really good. Excellent flavor and the cauliflower was tender but still had some cruch and the fry batter was delicious as well. The menu is very clearly labeled for vegan and vegetarian items. read more

This is my first time at Rara. We found parking right at the front on a Sunday evening and they seated us immediately. Service was very quick and they have a great array of choices. We tried a Lamb Wrap which we felt was pretty mediocre, it was mostly just seasoned lamb with cabbage served with a side of thin fries and a dip very similar to thousand island sauce. I'm not sure that I recommend the wrap. We loved the Salmon Sizzler that we ordered. There was a decent sized filet grilled and served with a delicious sauce, on a sizzler plate with boiled veggies and Nepali Chow Mein! It was delicious!! The portion for this sizzler plate is quite large, more than enough for 1 person but maybe not enough for 2. I'd reorder the sizzler on a heartbeat if I'm back in the area! read more

Rara - Salmon Sizzler - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Palo Alto, California

First time at a Nepalese sit down restaurant. My experience with this cuisine is limited to incredible chicken momos at food trucks! Alas, it was a Friday weeks before Easter and I couldn't have meat so we ordered a couple seafood dishes for protein. Easy to make a reservation on OpenTable and it was packed by 7pm. They came by several times to take our order but not everyone was present yet and the menu is extensive. Drinks: Mango Lassi Mohi (buttermilk churned yogurt) Eats: Coconut Shrimp Fried Veg Momos 10 piece Tawa Paneer Paratha Veg Chow Mein Noodles Veg Dal Bhat Khana set (Thali) Salmon Sizzler I originally ordered the salmon kebab which comes with yellow rice & veggies. Instead, we were served the salmon sizzler with noodles. I even asked the waitress if the salmon kebab comes with noodles. She said yes. They are the same price so I left it alone and the food was good. I enjoyed the sweet creamy sauce on the salmon and it was cooked well. Coconut shrimp was delicious, the sauce it arrived with may have been the same as the salmon sauce. I was surprised by how tasty the fried veg momos were. Shaped like potstickers and filled with lightly spiced minced veggies. I've had steamed veg momos from Inchin's Bamboo Garden before and those were honestly tasteless. These were great! The paneer paratha is sliced like pizza and filled with chopped paneer and I think a leafy green. Enjoyable. I dipped it in the shrimp/salmon sauce. The chow mein had spice that I wasn't expecting, probably from pepper and they served the same noodles with the salmon. Pretty good. The veg thali was interesting, had lots of flavors and textures including a sweet rice pudding, paneer curry, black eyed pea dal, lentil dal, pickled ginger, and crispy papad (dried lentil) roll on top of the basmati rice. Great dinner with friends! Street parking and garage parking available around the place. read more

We were a group of 4 VCs and Founders at an event down the street for Startup Taiwan. It was one of the VCs visiting from China, who was having her first Nepalese cuisine experience and an engineer from Denmark, has the cuisine once or twice before. My other friend was a local like me, so we knew our way around the menu. Anita, Johany, Dinash and Rishi took care of us. Anita was able to provide recommendations as I made sure to get chicken hot pot, mixed sizzler, buffalo momos, shrimp curry, roti, yogurt, masala tea, and a bunch of other options for family style. The hotpot was a fav from China. The team worked well together, were friendly, helpful and gave us dedicated service because we beat the dinner rush on a Saturday. As the place got full, as Anita was the point person for new recommendations, it might help for more of the team to also be able to provide recommendations. It might help, to ask if guests would need help with the menu. Maybe a dinner set would help, especially if it was the group's first time for this type of cuisine. read more

My friend made a reservation for us for 6 on a Saturday evening. There's a parking garage nearby so we walked over. At first they sat us for 4 people but my friend made it for 6 so they took us to a bigger table. We sat down and we were waiting for some friends who came like 10 mins later. the waiter didn't come to ask for drinks until about 30 minutes into us sitting down... so that was a little annoying. We ordered a mix of chai and We ordered mango lassi and chai, but they brought out all the chais and completely forgot the mango lassi. No one checked on our table, so I eventually had to get up and ask about it. When we finally ordered food, I got the thali, my husband got the lamb chop sizzler, and we ordered veg momos for the table. The veg momos were honestly not good -- very dry -- though the sauces were great. The entrées came out and I liked my thali, but they forgot the chicken curry that's supposed to come with it. Everyone else's food came out except one of our friends (who is vegetarian), which was surprising since that should've been quicker. When their dish finally arrived, they forgot the naan that was ordered with it. Overall, the service was extremely slow and disorganized. My appadum was also stale, which was disappointing. I personally liked the lamb chops (especially the noodles that came with them), but no one else at the table thought they were that good. The ambiance is actually fine, but the service really took away from the experience. Maybe it's better when it's not busy, but based on this visit -- good luck with the service. read more

PLEASE ORDER THE CAULI 8848 IF YOU LIKE CAULIFLOWER! This takes the cake for my favorite cauliflower ever. It's fried cauliflower coated in a delicious curry-like sauce that looks spicy but is very minimally spicy. The outer texture is vaguely like orange chicken? Whatever it is, it's absolutely incredible. I'd come back just to get the cauliflower again. We also got the dal bhat khana set with chicken curry. I appreciated the variety, but I was less impressed by the flavors in the set. It was solid still and very filling, but the flavors weren't particularly strong nor diverse within the set. I'd probably try other dishes next time. I'd been here once before and I remember enjoying the chicken momos! Service was good! The restaurant is culturally decorated and the chairs are pretty comfy too. read more

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a tasty experience. Made a reservation and our table was ready upon arrival. Parking is available in the parking garage next door or on the nearby surface streets. Dining is indoors exclusively. Rara is a Nepalese restaurant that took over the formerly Michelin 2 star Baume. The interior of the restaurant is quite pedestrian. Started off with the cauliflower that the waiter recommended and it was a touch spicy. Well put together. Moved on to the mushroom small plate and it came with a side of crispy rice along with a dipping sauce. Flavors were bold and a touch spicy. The momos were phenomenal. We did a mix of chicken and water buffalo and they were both tasty. They were a Nepalese version of xlb with a dough wrapper and soup inside. Opted for the goat small plate as a main and it was also decent. The goat was well done and tasted more like goat jerky. Staff came around throughout the evening to check up on us. read more

Came here in a really large group for a Thursday business dinner. We ordered a whole bunch of food and drinks. The menu has a nice variety of vegie and non-vegie options. Plenty of street parking nearby. Service was wonderful. I can't tell however if they were intentionally pacing serving the food or if there were too many orders, but I felt food came pretty slowly. Onto the food, I can tell the food is pretty authentic, but several items were too heavy for me. For instance, the potato was really salty, almost bitter. The lamb shank was not the most tender I've had, but decently flavorful. The cauliflower appetizer was pretty good. Momos are also pretty heavily flavored, I couldn't really taste the chicken to be honest. read more

My partner and I recently found this spot on her lunch break because we were craving soup and wanted to avoid dealing with parking downtown. We both ordered the momo (buffalo) noodle soup and were blown away! The noodles were similar to mama/indomie rather than fresh, but I ended up loving it regardless. The broth was very light but super flavorful and savory. AND THE MOMOS!!! Absolutely to die for; I think they were the best I've ever had. Not to mention it was very fairly priced and lasted us both for two meals. Not to mention, especially in the South Bay, most Nepalese/Himalayan restaurants heavily feature Indian food. Rara stands out to me because Nepali food is absolutely the star here. I wasn't familiar with a majority the menu and that's a great thing because they're offering unique dishes you can't find everywhere. This is definitely going to be a new go-to place for us! read more

Nice, relaxing ambiance, efficient, polite service, and the food! Delicious! Everything was served piping hot, which is a must for me. Lots of vegetarian dishes I need to try, so I'll definitely be back. read more

We tried Rara with some friends for lunch. I've had Himalayan food before in the bay, and I'm not sure this is the best: - cauli8848 was easily the best dish we ordered. The sauce was perfect: tasty and not too spicy - veggie momos: these were quite disappointing - I've had better veggie momos. These ones hardened and became extremely chewy after sitting on the table for just 10 minutes - paneer wrap: this was also okay, but again, not the best. The fries on this were probably better than the wrap, sadly. read more

Good service and an expansive menu. We got the chicken and vegetarian thali sets. I thought it was a 3 but my wife loved it so im bumping it up to a 4. I liked the variety, which even included a bit of lightly sweetened rice pudding. The chicken was very tender, but some of the other dishes were quite salty (like the black eyed peas) so I mixed in the mound of rice they give you to help balance things out. read more

Tasty! Would come back for the momos and to try other dishes! Momo sizzler - picked the chicken momos. The momos were tasty but the sizzling plate didn't add much. The noodles and cabbage it came with tasted great. 3.5/5 Goat curry - very flavorful. Every bite of meat was great. I just wish there was a little bit more. 4.5/5 Paneer paratha - pretty tasty filled paratha but a little underwhelmed. Maybe not a fair comparison, but I had some amazing roti recently and was expecting something with more texture, heat, etc. 3.5/5 read more

The menu here is massive, so I'm not sure if I ordered wrong. The tofu was amazingly flavorful and definitely worth the stop but the noodles I had with that tofu just didn't quite hit the spot. I'd follow the most popular dishes if I went back. Parking in this part of Palo Alto is a bit easier. Definitely feels like a relatively casual spot but good for weeknight dinners since they're open later than a lot of other spots nearby! Perfect for a weeknight dinner when you wait too long to cook! Service was decent but make sure you ask about allergen information as their menu is not inclusive about it! read more

I was on my way somewhere else when my eye was caught by the chicken wings on the menu posted outside. They've got a couple varieties and I ordered the Nepali Fried Chicken Wings, figuring I'd get something exotic. No, they were basic fried wings, with a small cup of sauce it was hard to get the wings into. OK, next time I'll get something else. I was in the mood for something larger, and ordered the Gorkhali Lamb Shank. Again, a little mixed, because much of the meat on the shank was tough and chewy, not tender. The sauce, however, was intensely flavorful without being hot-spicy, and was absolutely delicious. I scooped that up and actually didn't finish the meat. There's a lot more on this menu I'd like to try, so I hope to be back, but definitely to try something else. Good on available seating, and admirable service. read more

Came here on a Monday night as a party of four and we were immediately seated. Really cozy atmosphere in the restaurant. I've never had Nepalese food before but always wanted to try momos so our table ordered some steamed chicken ones along with the chhoila style and both were delicious! The momo itself is decently sized filled with tender and juicy filling and whether you get it steamed or in the additional style, it's amazing either way. Highly recommend! Also tried the paneer curry with roti and that was also super creamy and delicious too. Overall the service was great! Very attentive and constantly refilled our waters throughout without having to even ask. Just great hospitality and friendly people! Would definitely come here again read more

My friend made a reservation for a sat afternoon and it was easy to do and get seated. The servers were really nice and attentive and explained things on the menu for us. I was too hungry to remember to take pictures of the food, but the food was pretty good!! Food: - chicken 8848: 4/5 yummy crispy chicken, good shareable - chicken jhaneko sekuwa set: 5/5 dude the chicken was sooo tender it was so good! My partner was confused by the broken rice and I was too but it added nice texture if I was suppose to coat the chicken with it instead of eating it by itself ‍ - chicken momo: 4/5 first time trying momos and I enjoyed it! I wanna try the other styles next time - buffalo momo: 3/5 I only had half a piece bc I was apprehensive of buffalo and I confirmed I don't like the flavor of it but texture wise it was fine - shrimp noodles: 5/5 it was never ending noodles so worth and it tasted delicious - paneer curry: 5/5 if you like paneer and you like curry, can't go wrong with this one!! - roti: 5/5 nothing to complain about Very family friendly atmosphere. Would come back :) read more

Named after Rara lake in Nepal, which is the deepest and pristine lake of Nepal. You can see fishes in the lake due to the very clear water and it is part of Rara national park a protected territory. Now will the restaurant justify the name. We were there for a weekend dinner, crowded, but we had a reservation and we were also tad late, but we were seated right away. I was not able to take any interior pictures as they all came washed out due to well lit. Restaurant was crowded and noisy, but people were enjoying, thst is a good sign. We ordered and they started serving after 10-15 minutes. Cauli 8848 Crispy cauliflower soaked in coconut milk and spices. This was the best dish of all! Kwat Soup Sprouted bean soup, not all beans were sprouted though different nothing standing out. Very mildly spiced and a bit salty. Veggie Momo Fried, 2$ more for fried. Disappointing for Nepalise restaurant. Egg chowmein decent and fried eggs were nicely done. Rightly spiced and seasoned. Vegetable Thenduk is Nepalise version of noodle soup very bland. Seasonal mix veg curry was ok nothing good or bad to say. Tawa paneer paratha, paneer filing had no spice, green chilli would have made it better, needed little more seasoning. Paratha was better than the panner one again less seasoning. Juju Dhau is sweet and sour whipped yogurt. Very good. Pistachio and Mango kulfi were decent but rabadi made up fo whatever the kulfi was missing. Overall more salt in liquid dishes like soup and gravy and less salt in main dishes themselves. Seasoning makes a big difference in food. Just the names are Nepalise neither the dishes had the authenticity or the flavors, you can get both of that in other himalyan/Nepalise restaurants. Spice is almost non existent! So if you are a Indian or Nepalise who likes spice, this is not the place. If you cannot take spice but would like to experience the cusine of the region, this is well suited. Service was good! read more

Happy Hour at Rara to experience Nepalese cuisine in Palo Alto. They have an extensive menu with many dishes to choose from. We ordered a variety to try and, to be honest, liked the appetizers more than the entrees. Chicken 8848 was the table's favorite, hands down. The meat was tender and juicy, and the sauce made it even better! The Sizzler dish portion was generous, but the noodles tasted a little plain. I always like to order a mango lassi to balance out the heavier flavors of the dishes. read more

This is only my second time trying Nepalese cuisine and overall I'm impressed with Rara. The menu has lots of options so both adventurous and less adventurous diners can find something that appeals to their taste buds. They had a small kids menu also which was perfect for our toddler. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, but the hits at the table were were: - Chicken Momo - little flavor bombs. These dumplings were sooo good - Rara Special Fries - couldn't taste any specific spice, but these were super crispy and we polished off two baskets lol I got the grilled salmon kebab which came with yellow rice and a "creamy butter sauce" that tasted exactly like butter chicken sauce (my fav). Thought the salmon would have come out on a skewer, but it was just one whole piece of grilled salmon. Fantastic nonetheless and a hit with my 3 year old too! My husband got the fish Khana set and really liked the variety. Tip: Order the mango lassi! read more

I've only had Nepalese food once and it was Momos from a highly rated food truck in the area. Those Momos were good but the Momos at Rara were on an entirely different level! We had the steamed and slightly pan fried Momos with a red spicy sauce and a delicious orange sauce, the orange sauce is amazing. We also had Momos in a saucy/soup-ish form and these were also a 10/10. We had the non-veg Khana set and this was such a great option to try different foods and flavors. It also comes with your choice of buttermilk or chai. In the set there was a serving of fermented mustard leaves and it was so good that I want to try and recreate it so I can have it regularly. I came here with a friend from Nepal and she loves this place and says the flavors are almost spot on to the ones in Nepal. She also pointed out the lamps and decor that can also be found in restaurants in Nepal which is a nice touch. I visited Rara on a Saturday at 2pm and it wasn't very busy, so no reservations needed around this time. read more

We came here on a weekday night for dinner. There was little wait and we were seated immediately. The ambiance was a bit on the emptier side, but still lively and our server was friendly and attentive! Our food also came out relatively quickly. We ordered: - Akbare Chicken Wings - Chicken was tender and the sauce was tasty, but very, very spicy! - Momo Sizzler (with Chicken Momos) - The momos were very flavorful and delicious. The filling was soft and a tasted great with the sauce that was on top. The noodles and veggies at the bottom were fresh and slight crispy (as it was cooking on the sizzling plate) and also tasted good. - Shikarni - Our dessert was delicious! The yogurt had hints of saffron and was coated with pistachios. It was subtly sweet and more tangy and the flavors were delicious and a great combination! Overall, I had a great time eating here and will be back in the future to try other items on the menu! read more

Got the lamb special, mixed veg korma, and buffalo momos. All were delicious. The lamb especially was tender and flavorful. Not dry at all and well priced. The korma was nicely seasoned and good consistency -- better than most kormas! Momos were a little on the smaller side but were juicy and yummy. The sauces for the momos were delicious!! Highly recommend. Better than Zareen's imo! read more

We went to Rara 3-4 times in the first year after they opened. The place was always crowded, great service and the food was awesome. I'm not sure what happened since then but we just visited and the experience was below par. The restaurant as maybe 1/4 full yet we sat at our table for 15 minutes with no one stopping by. I got up and walked over to the waiter to ask if we could order some drinks, the waiter came over and we ordered drinks and momos. Then we waited another 15 mins and I could see the waiter just hanging out and surveying the room. So I got up a second time to ask the waiter if he could bring us the beers we ordered. He finally brought us the beers 30 minutes after sitting down. Wow. We received the momos in a reasonable time and they were awesome, as I remember. Then I received my main dish which was a salmon kabob over rice and it was overcooked like a piece of cardboard. I try not to do this, but I had to send it back it was so bad. They cooked a new one and it was much better but still on the edge of being overcooked. At the end, again we did not have a waiter come over so I had to get up to ask for the check. I'm really disappointed and won't go back. It is no surprise that the restaurant is much less crowded now than in the early days. read more

I had a lovely meal here. Restaurant is set up nicely and servers were all very friendly and attentive. Paratha - good portion, good flavor. Probably didn't need this in addition to all the rice/noodles we ordered though. Non veg set w chicken curry - I loved this. It was so fun to try a bit of everything, and it all tasted amazing. Lentil soup is especially delicious. Huge portion, can feed 1.5 people in my opinion. Lamb chop sizzler - the lamb is phenomenal. It's cooked well done but somehow still very tender and the flavor is very tasty. I thought the noodles were quite salty though, and the veggies were not too creative. But this dish is worth it just for the lamb! read more

The service is horrible here and the food is average. When we first arrived for our reservations, the guy in charge tried to seat us at a table between two other tables of people eating. We asked to move to a quieter area and he was annoyed by this request. The front of the restaurant was not busy so we sat by the manager's station. Clearly, sitting there should've meant that the guy running the show would see our empty water glasses without us flagging him down or he would see our dirty empty dishes piling up on the table but unfortunately, that was not the case. As dishes came out, we asked him to take our empty dishes and he replied to "just leave it." Since our table was full and he didn't oblige, we decided to put the empties on the table next to us where they continued sitting all evening. Given his apathy, I won't be back for their Tofu Chili, Grilled Paneer Sizzler, Chicken Chhoila, and Pulao which were the only items I somewhat enjoyed. The spicy level is on point. My friends said the Momos were not good and were really disappointing. We thought about trying their Mushroom Soup since it was cold outside but the manager recommended their Kwati Soup Bean Soup. He said it would be like a lentil soup and he was wrong. The Kwati Soup was green watery broth containing a few beans. The only good thing about the soup was that it was hot in temp. Before we left, we asked someone to take a picture for us and that person was really friendly. Too bad we didn't have this person serving us and instead we got stuck with the guy in charge who clearly didn't give a hoot. read more

My friends and I wanted to try a new type of cuisine and we stumble upon Rara in Palo Alto. This small restaurant serves Nepalese food and to our surprise everything was delicious and the customer service was really good. The restaurant was a little dim with accent lighting on walls. I really enjoyed the akabare wings (spicy!), gorkhali lamb shank (fall off the bone tender), and buffalo mono (juicy). It's a little hard for me to describe the flavors since a lot of the dishes we ordered was something we've never had before. It was like unlocking new flavors to my taste profile. I can tell that a lot of different spices were used so all the dishes were yummy. Overall, I would recommend Rara to anyone that is looking to try Nepalese/Himalayan food! read more

Rara and the service was good. The ambience is a little darker lighting and it feels like a finer dining experience. Food is Nepalese style so it's a fusion of Asian and South Asian flavors. Food ordered: 1. Bhatmas Sadheko (4/5) This is a spiced roasted soy beans dish and had a little kick, but was mostly crunchy and savory with a sprinkle of zest freshness. A good sharing and veggie friendly appetizer. 2. Chicken 8848 (5/5) The dish is fried chicken topped with a nice creamy house, almost tikka masala like, sauce was maybe the highlight of the meal. There's also a cauliflower version two for veggie people. 3. Skewer Lamb Kebab (3/5) The lamb kebab plate came with cut up cubed Lam that was cooked very nicely on top of a bed of yellow rice, and with sides of vegetables and salad. Chicken Momo (4/5) The chicken momo had a really good outside dough as it wS was not too thick and chewy, and there was plenty of delicious filling. It came with a side of two dips which were good but not anything too special imo. Tawa Roti (2/5), Paratha (3/5) The roti and paratha were very similar, but with the Paratha being a little tastier because it had more butter and more layers when you pulled it apart. Lamb Chop Sizzler (4/5) Lamb chops were beautiful and tender. Egg noodles were stir fried and yummy but similar to garlic noodles, but with some vegetables. Overall, all the dishes were good, but none of them really stood out tremendously. This is a nice place if you are looking for something more fine dining esque. read more

First time having Nepalese food. They have some really delicious things on the menu here! Unfortunately I have to give them a low score due to an allergy issue which was the restaurant's fault. Superb: Cauli 8848 - breaded and fried cauliflower served in a creamy curry sauce. Delicious and cooked perfectly. Rara Special Fries - Not sure what I expected from this. It's a basket of fries served with a Thousand Island style special sauce. I will say, the fries were cooked perfectly, and the lightly battered surface gives a pleasing crisp. Not to mention it is a prodigious sum of fries. Lamb Chop Sizzler - grilled lamb chops served with a heap of chow mein and some vegetables. These were succulent and had a lovely charred flavor from the grilling on the exterior. Incredible. Good: Buffalo Momos - my first time trying momos. The filling is a little greasy but good flavor on the filling and the 2 sauces are good as well. Nepali Fried Wings - Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I think the spices they put on the wings was a little light, and it needed the sauce accompaniment. Overall solid option. Nepali Roti - these are fresh and have a good homemade flavor to them. The item I had an issue with is the Nepali Jeera Pulau. On the menu it states that the item contains "cashew nuts". This dish was served to our party with peanuts, which I am allergic to. Now I don't have a particularly severe allergy to them, but this could have caused a more serious situation for someone who could have an anaphylactic reaction. I did feel my mild allergic reaction (itchy throat, stomachache) after eating a little bit, but I was otherwise fine. After visually confirming there were peanuts in the dish, we notified the staff of the incident, and they checked with us to make sure I was OK. They pointed out to me that I did not mention my allergy before ordering, but I did not think it necessary since peanuts were not even mentioned in the description of the menu item. For that reason alone, I have to give this place a significantly lower rating. The restaurant needs to be more careful with their menu items. Mixing up cashews and peanuts could be a potentially fatal mistake. read more
