- bob hancockMarch 17, 2013This was recommended by a Nepalese friend. I'd had the Daal Bhat Tarkari (Thali) with goat and it was very good and inexpensive. The the inside of the restaurant looks much better than the outside.Upvoted Mar 17

GourmetLiveApril 1, 2011For authentic Nepali food stop by the Himalayan Yak. Chef Micahel Ginor says, “The Nepali snack platter is an appetizer plate with various signature snacks. It’s a good way to sample.”
Kimmie OhhSeptember 22, 2019This restaurant serves authentic Himalayan (Tibetan, Nepali, Indian) cuisine. Ask your server for food recommendations if you want it more authentic. Get momos & their Nepali chicken curry.
Ariel HermanMarch 4, 2016Spectacular menu full of Nepalese, South Asian, and East Asian vegetarian and meat options. They have butter tea and yak momo. Try one of the platters to share. Supposedly there is live music, too.
Kim B.November 23, 2014I know I'm going to be obsessing over the thenthuk (hearty soup with flat wide noodles) all winter long. Hot and sour soup is aromatic and delicious.
Order the hot and sour soup (order it less sour) on a cold day. It'll warm you from the inside out :) delicious.
AnthonyAugust 20, 2014Try the thanthuk for a really warm and comforting soup. The tingmo bread is fantastic too
Wild boar, naan, yak, and high end Japanese whiskey. Do it.
Vivian VoApril 20, 2016We were recommended the tea and you won't taste anything like it before. Buttery & salty.
Zach AaronsFebruary 5, 2012If you really want an ethnic joint this place is perfect. Himalayan live music paired with surprisingly tender yak. Delicious! (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Rewan PartiFebruary 3, 2016The $9.99 weekend lunch buffet is amazing. Try their Chicken Momos and Chicken Lollipop. The food is delicious.
- Live music, chicken lollipop, chicken momo, gyuma, and more!
Amy W.January 18, 2014Chicken lollypops.. The sauce it comes with is goooodddd. The sizzling platter is also yum!
NanaSeptember 13, 2016Food was a bit disappointing. Not the kind of momos I was looking forward to. The macha tareko skip it, chips chilli is good but ugh the next morning 😂 bhuttan was meh too. Try another Nepalese place
Saarim ZamanOctober 9, 2017don’t miss the sha momo, the chicken lollipops, and the thaali with sukuti
Chicken lollipop and amdo bhale with any curry is just great

"Great selection and prices of Indian spices, sauces, bulk rice, dessert, frozen food, and fruit and vegetables. Much cheaper than the "ethnic" section of your local supermarket."
