Marinated lamb curried in a slightly spicy(hot) sauce. Served over rice, with Raita. In general, sheep and goat meat are the tastier meats to cook in a curry because their flavors tend to complement the spices very well.

when available. A favorite of our chef’s. Similar to lamb curry but stronger in flavor and Spicy
Chicken Tikka Masala (Indian)

Tibetan Chicken Curry (Tibetan/Indian)
Cornish game hen cooked Tibetan style. Served over rice, with Raita. Tibetans, having lived in India for half a century, have either integrated Indian spices into their cuisine or tempered Indian cuisine. This dish is an example of the latter. Served over rice, with Raita
Pork Vindaloo (Indian)
By popular request we have introduced this dish which was brought to Goa, India by the Portuguese and made flavorful by the Indians. As originally created, this dish starts with pork marinated in red wine vinegar and then cooked in Indian spices. We are serving this dish with a heat index of medium but can bump it up upon request. Served over rice, with Raita
Keema Curry (Indian)
Ground beef and peas curried in mild spices. Served over rice, with Raita. This is not a dish that you would normally find in many Indian restaurants but we love the unique taste of this dish and would like to share it with you. Served over rice, with Raita
Combination Plates
Daal Bhaat And Shapta
Served over rice, with Raita. Tibetans living in India and Nepal have adapted their adopted countries’ cuisine to suit their own taste, generally by adding meat to the standard Indian/Nepalese fare. Daal Bhaat and a side dish of meat or meat with vegetables has now become a standard in many Tibetan homes in India and Nepal
Daal Bhaat And Lamb Curry
Served over rice, with Raita. Indians and Nepalese supplement their main meals with a meat dish and lamb curry is an excellent accompaniment to the daal bhaat base
Drinks
Darjeeling Chai (Indian/Nepalese)
Classic Indian/Nepalese herb spiced Darjeeling tea with milk. Served warm or iced
Delhi Iced Coffee
Long before coffee became popular in the US, iced coffee was a big hit in Janpath, Delhi. Try our version of this refreshing drink made with Indian coffee

This is not the place if you are looking for authentic north Indian flavor. The food was pretty bland, kinda americanized.

I came here for dinner and there was no one else in the restaurant, but everyone else is missing out by not coming here! I am obsessed with momos, and the Yak and Yeti definitely did not disappoint! I got the entree of momos, garlic naan and some lamb appetizer to split with my dad (sorry I have early onset dementia and can’t remember the name!) and it was the perfect portion size because we both finished everything and were the perfect level of fullness. I’ve had momos before, but this restaurant has a signature sauce that they serve it with that makes them to die for! I could probably drink the sauce by itself! The naan was addicting, and not too much of a strong garlic taste. Everything was warm and delicious, served with tamarind and (cucumber?) chutney. I’m not sure but one of the chutneys was green and it was absolutely delicious. I even used the cabbage garnish as a vessel to eat the sauce, it’s that good. I would definitely recommend coming here. I almost forgot! I got samosas too and they were huge!!! But very good and filling :)!

This is our favorite spot in Anchorage. Once you go, you will be craving it, often. Good, hot, affordable, flavorful, authentic eats for everyone- Veg, GF, etc! My wife and I love sharing an app and naan, before the heaping entree of momos. So happy we found this place.

We love the Palak Paneer and get it regularly. I’m always torn when I visit Yak & Yeti because the Nepalese dishes are wonderful but the dessert dishes are amazing. Especially the Moreo. This could definitely be a desert destination point in itself.
