Quick info
About Yak The Himalayan Kitchen (Swindon)
Yak The Himalayan Kitchen is a Nepalese restaurant on Devizes Road in Swindon, centred on a menu that brings Himalayan dishes to the table. Buffalo momos sit among the starters, and the kitchen moves on to plates such as Himalayan lamb curry. The owner walks guests through the menu, helping diners choose between the more familiar curry-house staples and dishes less often seen outside Nepal. Reservations are required, and the room is set up for sit-down meals rather than walk-ins. Returning guests often arrive with the same families in tow, and the regulars know the staff by name.

“Salivating just at the thought of my meal even though I’m so full. Well worth every penny, perfect portions, delicious food and a great atmosphere. Overall an extremely satisfying meal. Thank you! 🙏”
- Adrian Pearce
“Its very expensive for the size of the meal I don't think you are getting your money worth when I can spend same amount for a curry that's my opinion maybe they need to make porshon size bigger or reduce the price”

“What a lovely little place and so friendly too! Popped in on my own as I'm working away from home on a course and the lady owner was so friendly. She guided me through the menu suggesting what I should have. The buffalo momos were great, Himalayan lamb curry perfect and the rice was so fluffy. If I lived here I'd come for dinner every month!”
