Quick info
About Yak and Yeti Gurkha Café and Restaurant
Yak and Yeti Gurkha Café and Restaurant is a Nepalese restaurant on Church Street in York, where the menu leans on the dumpling-led side of the kitchen. Momo dishes form a clear centre of gravity, from steamed dumplings to fried momo and jhol momo, with a soup noodle version called MoMo Thukpa alongside. Samosa and panipuri cover the starter side, and a goat, or chevon, curry with rice anchors the mains. The room is small, so the layout can be tight to navigate, and the menu ranges broadly enough to move from light snacks into fuller plates.

“Had a great lunch at this place. Tried the samosa and panipuri which were appropriately spiced and not too hot. The fried momo and jhol momo were delicious as was the chevon curry served with rice.”
