" What a treat! I was taken to the Himalayan Yak by some friends who raved about it. The atmosphere genuinely captures the culture with its decor. Our Groupon ordered a feast, and every item didn’t disappoint, particularly the thali. The service was also friendly but a little disorganized at times during peak hours. Yet, this was more than compensated with every flavorful bite. I will indeed be coming back to try more recipes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Feeling adventurous, I took my partner to Himalayan Yak after hearing about its unique Nepali offerings. We were not disappointed! The food was flavorful, especially the fried momos dipped in tangy sauce. They're known for their authenticity and it really shines through here. The service was attentive, adding to the overall experience. We enjoyed the live music, which made the evening feel special. " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s not every day you find a restaurant that serves authentic Nepali food. The ambience at Himalayan Yak is warm, inviting, and filled with cultural touches. We ordered the mixed platter to try several dishes, and every bite was bliss! The service was on the slower side but once we received our food, it was well worth it. Definitely a place I plan to revisit with friends for the live music during the weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last Saturday, I finally got around to visiting Himalayan Yak, and it did not disappoint! The vibe was so welcoming with beautiful decorations reminiscent of Nepalese culture. For starters, we ordered the chicken momos, and I must say, they were some of the best I've ever had! Juicy and perfectly seasoned. I then moved on to the Nepali Thali, which was an explosion of flavors. Every side was distinct and delicious. The service was attentive, and the live music really added to the ambiance. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard many good things about Himalayan Yak and decided to pay a visit last weekend. Overall, our experience had its highs and lows. While the food was decent — I particularly enjoyed the Veg Chowmein — I found some of the portions to be on the smaller side given the prices. The service was alright, but it felt a bit disorganized during the busy dinner hours. The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere relaxed, making for a pleasant evening. I'd probably try them again but with a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Himalayan Yak with a couple of friends. Right when we arrived, the ambiance struck me with its vibrant decor. We tried a variety of dishes, but the standout was without a doubt the fried momos. Getting them fried was an exceptional recommendation by our server! The flavors were on point, bursting with freshness. For the main course, we dove into the Chicken Curry and were equally pleased. The service was attentive, and the restaurant seemed to be buzzing with energy from the live music performance. It was a delightful experience from start to finish, and will likely become one of our regular spots for Nepalese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible experience overall! The ambiance of Himalayan Yak was warm and eclectic, filled with Nepali heritage. The food was loaded with flavor and perfectly cooked! Their signature dishes like momos and curry stood out as highlights of the meal. The service was a bit hectic but still warm. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone who craves authentic Himalayan cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
