Yak and Yeti York is a Gurkha restaurant in the beautiful city of York that we’ve had our eye on for a while. There are so many nice places to eat in York and we’re trying to try new ones rather than stick to the things we know.
It’s York’s first authentic Nepalese restaurant right in the heart of the city.
About Yak and Yeti
Yak and Yeti is a Nepalese restaurant in York. The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes from traditional Nepalese and Indian cuisine, including curries, tandoori dishes, momos (dumplings), and biryanis. They also have a selection of vegetarian and vegan options available.
With the Gurkha Signal Squadron based at Imphal Barracks only a mile away, it’s actually not as strange as you would think to find Nepalese food in the very British York. The Gurkha has served as part of the British army for over 200 years.
A funny story – it’s a family-run business and one of the people that work there lives next door to us! They often have family over and entertain in the garden and it always smells amazing! We should pay them to cook our meals, haha. I feel like it is meant to be – the owner once shared one of my reviews the same day as we had planned to go back and he came out and chatted with me for a bit, and then we end up living next door to them!
My Review of Yak and Yeti
For starters, I have steamed momo (similar to dumplings in a Chinese restaurant) and my boyfriend had Pork Bhutuwa. I have Everest Lamb for my main, I think my boyfriend had another pork dish. At first, the dish looked small but it really did fill us up!
The Everest lamb is delicious, I’ve been to Yak and Yeti about 5 times and always get it. It’s so fresh, rich and tasty.
They also offer chilli momos, but they are really hot!
The food was delicious and tasted so fresh. Full of flavour and not too spicy. Great value for money, too. 2 beers, 2 starters and 2 mains came to £53! The service was a little slow, it seemed to take a while for someone to take our order. It was a Saturday night though and quite busy. Make sure you book if you want to go.

If you are even in York, I recommend a visit to the Yak and Yeti Gurkha Restaurant. It’s *Chefs Kiss*.
