The Good Food Guide 2009
The move away from Argyle Street to Pierrepont Street means that Yak Yeti Yak has swapped a small basement for a larger one. Nothing else has changed. The name still raises a smile, and it gives a clue to the food. Nepalese home-cooking is the deal, and the kitchen takes its food very seriously.
Times Magazine 2008
"The aim is to transport you to the Himalayas, with artefacts, traditional floor cushions and a kitchen team from Nepal. The food is a revelation: light, fragrant dishes with subtle but distinctive spicing, and a menu that runs from fried cheese balls to kukharako thukpa, the national dish of the Sherpas"

"...For anyone expecting something akin to a traditional British curry house, the food is a revelation: light, fragrant dishes, with subtle but distinctive spicing (no macho vindaloo posturing here)...Starters such as pork or vegetable momos come with fresh stone-ground chutney, while imaginative vegetarian mains, including a vibrant spinach and watercress stir-fry, receive equal billing with meat. Round off with spiced tea ice-cream, or Freak Street apples - a gently spiced apple tart inspired by the hippies of Nepal."
The Good Food Guide 2006 / 2007 / 2008
"The name deserves a gong and gives it clue to the food in this cosy, stone walled basement, Nepalese home cooking is the deal and the kitchen conjures up flavours that are genuinely subtle light and lovely, Vegetarian dishes have been well reported although there more besides earthy black eyed beans and bamboo shoots, a stir fry of spinach and mushrooms and broad beans with mint and spring onions have been applauded. The service is charm personified "
The Mobile Food Guide 2007
"Nepal comes to Bath in the shape of the evocative stonewalled basement on Pierrepont Street. Inside it’s a colourful mix of artefacts, prints and rugs that provide a perfect backdrop to the food. The menu is short, but is covers most bases from grilled marinated strips of lamb and bhutuwa chicken with ginger, tomato and coriander to kukharako thukpa (a main course noodle soup that is every Sherpa’s staff of life."
Bath Life Magazine March 2005
" From the might of Everest tales of the Yeti, Nepal is a country of the extraordinary and its traditional food served with quiet unassuming authenticity at this friendly hideaway restaurant is fittingly unique. Inside another world enfolds you. Not a gimmicky other culture experience but what genuinely feels like a tiny piece of Nepal."
Bath Chronicle May 2004
" Both meat-eaters and vegetarians will be spoilt for choice with a selection of meats and fragrant vegetable dishes. Everything they sell is home-made and that’s what makes this restaurant really special. "
