About Us

Our Story


The Yak Yeti Yak story began with our love of travel, meals and evenings spent in small Himalayan teashops sharing food cooked by some of the worlds least known culinary heroes. After spending years as guides and wilderness cooks we decided to return for part of each year to the UK, the first few years were easy spending our winters in Nepal and summers in the UK.  You can’t beat a good British summer but there was one thing we both missed, the food of the mountains and jungles of Nepal. Hard as we tried we couldn’t find a restaurant serving true Nepalese food.

With our children starting school we had to decide where to settle down, we chose Bath and with that decision we took the risk and shared our love of Nepalese food.  In 2004 we opened the doors to our first Yak Yeti Yak restaurant in a small tucked away basement on Argyle Street.  Admittedly more through luck than judgement the people of Bath were willing try try a new cuisine, thankfully they liked it and by 2007 we had outgrown our basement.  We made the move across the river to another bigger basement and we’ve been here in Pierrepont Street ever since.

We have changed a little over the years, every 2-3 years we do a complete menu test.  Much of our menu is classic Nepalese and it’s not surprising that so many of our dishes have stood the test of time and remain on our menu, after all they’ve been served in Nepal for centuries.  There’s always space for new ideas that we pick up on our travels, watch out for some interesting specials every time we get back.

We are delighted to have won the Bath Life Restaurant of the Year Award 2023!

Sarahs Kitchen travels


Hello I’m Sarah, cook, co-owner and recipe developer of Yak Yeti Yak, when I'm not in the restaurant I run YYY Foundation our charity and love off grid traveling with my camera.  Every where I go I have to  visit local markets they're like a magnet for me.  I'm also an avid collector of recipe ideas and inspiration and generally return home with a bag full of ideas scribbled on scraps of paper. I've put some of my recipes and photographs into a collection that you can access for free through the links below.

YYY Foundation


YYY Foundation is the charity we set up after the 2015 earthquakes, we're really proud and thankful to our customers who have helped us grow and successfully complete so many projects in Nepal. We've teamed up with 2 other small charities, Edutec and Days for Girls Nepal, together we're concentrating on IT and women's health. We're providing hardware, soft wear and staff IT training along side hygiene and basic family planning education. Together it's extraordinary the difference we are making to remote communities, this year we need to raise £30,000 to reach our target of helping 5 more schools in remote far west Nepal.
