Yak The Kathmandu Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
I wanted Indian food but wasn't able to go anywhere due to my car needing repairs. Checking Uber eats, I saw that Yak The Kathmandu Kitchen was an option. I've heard of it but I'd never been to it. My curiosity prompted me to try them. Chicken tikka masala was the obvious choice and I also decided to order naan. The restaurant is a considerable distance away from my house so I expected a longer wait for the arrival of my order. I believe the wait time was supposed to be 30-55 minutes. I'm not sure when the order arrived but it didn't seem like a particularly long time. When I picked up the order from outside, the food still felt really warm. I have to say that I'm not much of a spicy food eater. My chicken tikka masala spice choice was mild. I believe you get to choose from mild, medium, spicy, and extra spicy. The mild was just enough spice for me and I loved it. It smelled so good and the flavor didn't disappoint. The naan was delicious as well. It was fresh and cooked to perfection. I will have to try this place again. The first time was a 5 star experience.
Great take out Indian! I miss the pre-Covid dining service they provided, but their model of take-out or kiosk ordering keeps the kitchen fire on, so I can't complain. The food is always excellent - very flavorful with generous portions. We always get saag paneer and rotate our second main. This is our go-to takeout when life gets hectic!
This place has a very authentic appeal. Restaurant s decorated keeping in mind the Nepalese festivities. We ordered appetizers for a small snack meal which included veg chili momos, papdi chat, pani puri and veg spring rolls. They were out of spring rolls and they happily replaced with vegetarian chowmein. After these fulfilling dishes , We ordered masala chai and Salted lassi! Only thing we were left perplexed by is that there is no one to greet you and you have to order food it at self service kiosk. Even though it disappointed me in start , but their food made my day! They did have posters their which said "Let us cook delicious food for you , pardon our service" . For me , this was their honesty and awareness of the situation. I would 100% recommend this place!
Not really a dine-in place, mostly take-out. The food is great. Reasonable prices. Return again and again.
Small. Unusual. Multi-cultural. Homey. Comfortable. Warm. Inviting. Spicy. SPICYYY. Creamy. Tasty. Yummy. OMFG! DELICIOUS!
