The Yak & Yeti Gurkha Restaurant is a family run Nepalese restaurant at 63A Goodramgate in York. It describes itself as the city’s first Nepalese restaurant and places a warm, friendly dining room around food rooted in Gurkha and regional traditions. The intimate setting makes it particularly suited to relaxed dinners and small groups.
Nepal’s varied geography and communities inform a menu that goes well beyond a single curry style. Choices include Gurkhali pork, the house beef dish, mixed vegetable tarkari and green vegetable preparations. Momo and other small plates give newcomers a useful introduction before the more substantial meat and vegetable dishes.
Vegetarian and vegan options are clearly part of the menu, and several dishes are identified as gluten free. Spice, dairy, sesame and other ingredients can vary across recipes, so guests should explain any allergy or dietary requirement to staff. The kitchen’s emphasis on fresh preparation supports both familiar favourites and less common Nepalese combinations.
The restaurant’s service and compact scale reinforce its independent, family run identity. Lunch is available on selected days, while evening opening provides the main opportunity for a longer meal. The Yak & Yeti offers Goodramgate diners an approachable way to explore the distinct flavours and hospitality of Nepalese cooking.
