Been twice and the latter time took my parents to show them the wonders of York, needless to say they were very impressed. Beautiful flavours and deceivingly filling.

We had a lovely time. The service was quick, polite and unobtrusive. The food was excellent. The meat tender, good quality and well cooked. The food was flavoursome and spicy. Excellent ice cream and very alcoholic liqueur coffee! The ventilation is very good, so the food smells never become overwhelming even when the restaurant is very busy, as it was on the evening we were there - you leave with your clothes smelling fresh despite the lovely, aromatic food.I would recommend this restaurant

Excellent food as always. Helpful and friendly staff. Only negative - toilets look like they could do with a bit of freshening up - or would have rated full 6

The food is good, reasonably priced and very popular place because it's so popular they put a time limit on how long we had to order & eat our meal, and we booked in advance. Felt like we were just cattle get in feed and get out.

We are regular visitors to York and have tried a lot of the restaurants in the city, we thought we would give the Yak and Yeti a try having never tried Nepalese food before. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the service was friendly and efficient We would definitely return for a second visit when visiting York again.

Excellent food with very attentive staff. It is a lovely family run restaurant that is only let down by its poor desert offerings. I would return regardless.

Ambiance - small, a bit crowded, noisier than I would like - conversation was difficult without shouting. Staff - friendly, welcoming and extremely efficient. Food - absolutely delicious and I appreciated that we asked how spicy we would like it to be. General - although the place was so busy they turning people away, we were not rushed or made to feel uncomfortable. Value for money - yes - definitely. Would visit again.

Booked this restaurant as we were staying in York for the weekend. Glad we did, as when we got there it was completely full. Food was delicious, we had the set meals, one meat and one vegetarian. It came out on the plate with all the dishes in small bowls and a dome of rice, a popadom and chutney. All really tasty. We will definitely return when we are in York next.

Never eaten Nepalese food before and the menu here helpfully explains and illustrates the variety of dishes. Service was prompt and we chose Ghurka beer, salad and starter, pork Ghurkali and chicken Annapurna with fried rice. Loved it all and good value.

Food very very nice, a very busy restaurant for a Thursday night. As a group of three we sat on a table for two, very tight for space and kept getting knocked into by people squeezing past :( Was also very noisy, had to raise voices to talk between the three of us at a table for two !!!! People serving were excellent and spent time to talk. Would I go again ......... yes, with a group of at least six.

Poor service. Never offered a desert and brought us the bill without asking and took our drinks. Felt like we where pushed out as people were waiting to be seated. We booked out table beforehand and were only there an hr. The table was booked for 6. I emailed them direct to complain and they said we arrived half 5. We never as we only set off from the hotel then. They also said they politely asked us to move table to make way for a larger group. They never. Bad time management skills.
