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.

When our children started school we had to decide where to settle down, we chose Bath and with that we took the risk and decided to share our love of Nepalese food.  In 2004 we opened the doors to our first Yak Yeti Yak, tucked away in a small basement on Argyle Street.  Admittedly more through luck than judgement we had chosen the right spot, the people of Bath were willing to try a new cuisine.  Three years later we had outgrown our basement and made the move across the river to another, bigger, basement in Pierrepont Street where we've been ever since.

We have changed a little over the years, we've bought more nic knacks back to hang from the walls.  Much of our menu is classic Nepalese and hasn't changed since we first opened, actually it’s not surprising our dishes have stood the test of time, after all they’ve been served in Nepal for centuries.  There’s always space for new ideas and some creativity, watch out for our ever-changing specials board.
