Yak

Cuisine: Indian, Tibetan, and Nepalese dine in • takeout • family-owned

Take your taste buds to the peak of Himalayan dining with a visit to Yak and Yeti. This family-owned business elevates favorite foods from North India, Tibet, and Nepal from a spot in the heart of the Spenard neighborhood.

Mix and match the perfect rice bowl, selecting options including Tibetan stir fry pork, yams in a tangy cream sauce, curried yellow lentils, or black lentils with Jimbu, a herb grown amid the tallest peaks on the planet. The green daal soup’s deep color and complex flavor make the lentil and spinach dish a popular pick. With sandwiches like pork vindaloo on house-made turmeric baguettes or a gyro packed with tandoori lamb, onion, cucumber, and yogurt sauce, you might ponder how it’s possible to pick up that much flavor. Housemade chai, fruit Lhassis and Delhi iced coffee mean even the drink options span the globe.
