Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had never tried Nepalese food before but it is my new favourite! The buffalo mo:mo & daal bhat masu were delicious. My son had vegetable pakoras & beef stir fry and he was equally impressed! It was very filling too…we didn’t have room for...desserts, even though they looked very tempting! The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food presentation and decor was so good that it made us feel like we were in Nepal! We will definitely come again if we get the chance!More

My first visit to a Gurkha restaurant and I wasn’t disappointed. The food was delicious as was the service. My two friends and I shared a starter of pork steamed MoMo and Kukhura Ko Pakhetta. For main we all ate Daal Bhat Masu with Lamb...that melted in your mouth. I washed it down with a refreshing bottle of Gurkha beer.More

We were in York for our wedding anniversary, I'm a trekker and Nepal is my dream place to visit but, alas present circumstance dictates I can't, I'd seen this place on previous visits mad promised to try it. Very friendly and pleasant ambience, the food...was very good. We both went for the platter Daal Bhat Musa, I had mine with lamb curry which was superb. Very light compared to the richness of Kashmir curries I usually eat, very tasty. My wife had coconut ice-cream and I went for the Mustang Coffee, a small warm coffee made with honey, brandy and toasted rice, lovely winter warmer that coats the ribs. Very understated and relaxed place with lovely foodMore

The first time in a while I’d had Nepalese (the first time for my better half). Delicious- I could have eaten it again. Take your time and savour every mouthful. I highly recommend this, and we will definitely be back.

Delicious food and a great variation of dishes for all diets. Service was excellent, and the restaurant itself was very nice. I would definitely recommend Yak and Yeti, and the homemade lemonade!

A lovely independent family business. Relaxed atmosphere. We called a few hours prior and managed to book a table for the same night. On arrival every seat was taken and very busy. Staff were attentive. The chilli chicken mo mo’s were delicious. Would definitely recommend...and go backMore

An authentic Nepalese restaurant with excellent food, many varieties suitable for those who love spicy and those who not, nicely decorated environment and very nice staff. The owner is an Nepalese whose hospitality is very warm and cares for customers’ needs. Must try Mo:Mo (dumplings)...in soup, curry and Yak & Yeti beef. Reasonable priced. Value for money. It’s on the first floor which may be easily missed in passingMore

One of the best meals we have ever eaten anywhere. One of us is vegan and the choice of vegan food was unbelievable. We started with some vegetable steamed Mo:Mos and some chilli Mo:Mos. Both vegan and totally delicious. Mains were Special Chow main and...Dal Bhat Tarkari. Absolutely awesome food. The Dal Bhat was particularly special and 100% vegan. Like nothing we had experienced before. Just amazing. Highly recommend this stunning food and super friendly hosts.More

The small entrance is not, at first sight, inviting but the upstairs dining room has an excellent ambience. The menue is limited but the food is delicious. Friendly staff.
