★★★★★ 5.0 Stephanie Yu · Feb 2026

Such a hidden gem, they gave a little starter which surprised me. It was a puffy rice with pickled radishes and it was vaguely sweet? But crispy and good. Got the Yak Korma, brussels, chatpatey, garlic naan, and Buffalo Momos. All were so good

We stopped here after a very long day in transit then walking visiting sights. It is so so so delicious! The Palak Paneer is different, tastier and creamier. Th Cauliflower and lentils were amazing. We had the Yak moms and the pork belly which were also spiced very nicely. The appetizer was a fried Kale salad which sounds weird but it was the best thing!! Highly recommend this place! They even had beautiful paintings on the walls and looked like a nice bar. No wait time.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Piash Debnath · Jan 2026

Honestly wasn’t that fan of the food. The best was the veg Manchurian appetizer we got, albeit it had 0 crisp factor. 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.

Exceeds expectations! Food here is excellent, with some spice combinations that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. 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.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jacob Garcia · Jan 2026

Went to dinner with the family here and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Biryani Yak(rice), Lamb Nepali Set, and Yak Momo(dumplings) with everything exceeding our expectations. The prices were reasonable with how much food they give you and the service takes care of you here.
