John Lanchester reviews
Yak Yeti Yak
Saturday, March 26, 2011 - The reasons for its success? Naturally, it's rocket science: the food is good, the service efficient and very friendly, and the bill small. The Nepalese classics are present and well-executed, especially a hearty version of momo served with a lightening, delicate hemp seed chutney. Then it's all about the mutton - or, rather, the lamb...The vegetable dishes were great: musurko dhal - made with red lentils, showed a liberal use of garlic and, I suspect, quite a bit of ghee - had that nicely layered sense of many different spices working in harmony. All in all, the balance of the cooking was just right.
