About this place
Can’t settle on just one curry? Choose a set that lets you pick two. Yak & Yeti’s sets pair naan and rice with salad, achar, momos and dessert, among other dishes. Options include dal, a lentil curry; vegetable sabji; minced-meat keema; and goat curry, kashiko tarkari. There is also palak paneer, made with spinach and cottage cheese, and chicken curry with cashew-nut sauce. Choose two that appeal, with different ingredients and curry bases to compare. One diner who ordered dal bhat appreciated being able to ask for more rice and dal. You can build your meal around curry and naan, or make rice and lentil curry the focus; either way, the choices shape the meal differently.
For a taste of mutton, one diner chose it in a dal bhat set and enjoyed sukuti, dried mutton, alongside it. Sukuti and goat curry also appear on the menu. It’s a chance to order dried mutton as a separate dish, rather than only as part of a curry. To start, there are momos, Nepalese steamed dumplings, including a vegetable version. The menu also lists kote, pan-fried dumplings, and vegetable phawla, a Nepalese vegetable fritter. For a group, sharing small plates while waiting for the curry is one way to begin. Another diner recalled having dal, chicken tikka and fried roti, while someone who ordered curry and naan for dinner said they shared their preferred level of heat. If you have a preference, you could ask about the spiciness when ordering.
Options for vegetarians include lentil and vegetable curries, spinach and cottage-cheese curry, and vegetable momos. One diner reported that staff helped their companion choose from the menu, which may be useful when a group has different preferences. After the meal, ice creams come in flavours including coconut, spice, Nepalese tea and mango. The menu also lists Himalaya, a selection of three flavours. For a drink, there is cha, Nepalese milk tea, as well as plain lassi, extending the choice to the end of the meal.
