The chicken jhol momos came in an ice cold sauce ? (Never in my life seen in cold). I asked if this was normal and the staff said yes! (I’ve had jhol momos in Nepal and NYC and both times they came steaming hot). But after asking, they heated up the sauce, but it was still barely warm. The dumpling itself was overcooked and all the dumplings on the table looked not freshly made as they were all very uniform. I wouldn’t be surprised if they came frozen. Not to mention such tiny momos for the price on a huge plate.
My friend order pan fried and they charged him extra on the bill without even saying anything.
Overall I found the food extremely mediocre.
Lamb saag and cauliflower are excellent. Both are savory and interesting, with cardamom in the saag and a little cumulative kick of heat in the cauliflower. Definitely try the crispy pork belly and the Yak Domo dumplings pictured here. And get naan to sop up all the sauces.
Very reasonable prices. Service was very good on a somewhat busy night. Free parking in local garage. One issue – trying to reserve online, there were no tables available, but we were able to walk right in. They may need to review their online reservation settings.
This restaurant charms with its simple, unpretentious decor and plenty of seating
—both indoors and outdoors. But the real star? The unbelievably delicious food and excellent service. I loved it so much that I dragged my friend back the very next day!
Every dish we tried was flavorful, generously portioned, and fairly priced – absolutely deserving of a 5-star rating. Rice bread ring and a small dish of chutney were served to every table.
What We Ordered:
4.5*CRISPY KALE – crunchy and seasoned.
5*GOAT CURRY – Rich, tender, and packed with flavors. Must order
4.8*ROASTED YAK – A must-try, uniquely gamey yet tender. The first bite wasn’t that tasty, then it grew on us, the last few pieces were very tasty and tender.
5*NEPALI SET MEAL (with goat) – A fantastic sampler of authentic flavors. Must order
5* WILD BOAR – Bold and succulent. Must order
We’ll definitely be back soon-this place is too good to resist!
The Old Fashioned smokey whiskey was perfection — smooth, bold, and with just the right amount of smokiness to set the tone for the night. For food, the wild boar and goat sukuti stole the show. The wild boar was tender and flavorful with a rich, gamey taste that you can’t find just anywhere.
It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines authenticity, warmth, and unforgettable flavors all in one spot, but Himalayan Yak absolutely nails it. Highly recommend for anyone craving something unique and truly delicious.
