Yak Yeti Yak Yeti Yak Yeti Yak

Birthday treats for Dr W. A visit to Nepalese Restaurant Yak Yeti Yak. Having never eaten Nepalese food, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. My geography is also unreliable so I did have to familiarise myself to exactly where Nepal was. It's here. By the way. Just in case.

So, drinks. A banana lassi for Dr W (pudding in a glass) and a limey iced-tea for me. Virtuous. Gin tonight.

We started with poppadoms and spiced pork momo, the Nepalese dumpling. Delicious steamed dough with a filling of cumin spiced minced pork. Slightly spicy but with the type of warm heat that you get from lots of pepper rather than chilli. I could (but should not) eat a lot of these!

For our mains we chose Yak Yeti Yak chicken and pork bhutuwa (see menu) served with bhat (rice) and musurko dal (lentils).

All in all pretty awesome food! Recognisably Indian spices but with cleaner flavours and less of the ghee rich sauces. Also served on hot, shiny brass plates called thali. Very pretty yes please.



A really lovely meal. Well made food, friendly service and cosy restaurant.


Finished! When can we go back?
