Lovely food, nice service. Starters were quite generous, main courses looked a bit skimpy but were just right. Would like more vegetarian / vegan options.

Good service. Food ok. Lots of clientele even at 18.00 when we were there, so we assumed that they all enjoyed the food there - perhaps a little more than we did.

A real hidden gem. We enjoyed a wonderful birthday night meal here with beautiful food and attentive staff. Only a small venue however clever table placement resulted in us having an intimate meal for two even though the restaurant was full. The food is a wonderful fusion of Indian flavours, Chinese textures and of course the unique Nepalese dishes. We will definitely return and have been recommending it to friends. Thank you.

Hands down, this is the best Nepalese I’ve ever had, and definitely one of the - if not THE, best places to eat in York. We’ve been here several times now, and every time the food is exceptional and the service is fantastic. We love the Streamed Pork Momo, the Malekhuko Macha, the Annapurna Chicken and the Maasai Dahl in particular. With cheerful and warm decor, this place packs out, so be sure to book in advance. Can’t recommend highly enough!

We were a group of 9. The staff welcomed us and were very patient and helpful as we tried to choose our dishes. The food was excellent, tasty but not too spicy for anyone. Service efficient and friendly. Drinks reasonably priced so we stayed a while. Will return again!

The food and service was very good. The waiter helped us understand the dishes. The drinks are limited but adequate. One thing to note, there is only one toilet which could be a problem at busy times. Well worth a visit we will return and recommend to others. The Everest lamb is amazing.

Friendly staff and very good food. Don't be put off by the small frontage on the street or stiff climb up the stairs. Restaurant is open and airy, you can choose to sit at traditional low tables if you want. Highly recommended.

Very tasty food but dissapointed with the size of the lentil dish, you need at least one side dish per person. Would go back again and order something different next time.

Very enjoyable meal at The Yak and Yeti Gurkha Restaurant. Friendly staff and quick service. Nepalese Pork Ribs and Lamb Momo to start were fantastic. The Annapurna Chicken was a little on the spicy side but tasty nonetheless, and I particularly enjoyed the salmon curry (Malekhuko Macha). I'd definitely come back!
