Yak & Yeti in Southend-on-Sea

This was my first visit (my husbands 2nd) and it was lovely food and very friendly staff. Definitely going back again . Worth a visit 👍

I enjoyed an impromptu meal, because it said Nepalese. So glad I went - will happily visit again. Asked for recommendations and was not disappointed.

Food was absolutely gorgeous, restaurant was spotless, staff were brilliant they didn't rush you and had a wicked sense of humour. We would 100% recommend this restaurant. Can't remember the last time we such a good meal.

Absolutely shocking quality of food and service. 0 flavour or quality. Have eaten at MANY Indian restaurants and this is the worst meal we’ve had. The manager did eventually apologise and said it was because the restaurant was busy, but this isn’t acceptable. The veg thali consisted of tasteless mixed veg curry (mainly courgette) with only ONE piece of paneer, flavourless dhal and stir fried spinach when it was meant to be saag aloo. When I said that it contained no potato, the waitress lied and said it didn’t say saag aloo on the menu and that is what is always included but when we checked it did! When we told her she didn’t say anything. Rubbery, leather like chapati. Hugely expensive for what it was and tiny portion of curries on the thali. Other curries ordered were so average. So disappointing that it took 45 mins for the starter and a further hour for the mains! Went to McDonald’s after, it was that bad.

Perfect takeaway as always. I ordered the Xacuti for the first time. It was honestly the best curry I have ever had, really lovely and fresh!

Lovely meal, buffet re-filled even though we arrived 10 mins before closing! Good value.

Very nice staff and great food. Ignore the moaners on here and give it a try. There's just no pleasing some people obviously. I recommend the non veg thali selection, which is a nice sample of lots of dishes on one platter. Very nice, thank you

My daughter came back from 3 months volunteering in Nepal raving about mo mo's.The Yak and Yeti have vegetable and meat versions of mo mo's and they take 20 mins to steam, so we let them know we wanted the vegetable ones for a starter on arriving. Ate poppadoms whist waiting. The mo mo's were delicious!We had the vegan Thali for main course. Also delicious!One of our party doesn't like spicy food, so they made a very mild vegetable biryani which he enjoyed. My husband had the chicken tikka masala and steamed rice and said it was the best one he'd ever had.It was our first visit to this restaurant and it's a beautiful place.A super restaurant for special occasions.

I had: chicken dhansak, special fried rice, keema naan and onion bhaji. All of them were actually very nice and I was quite impressed (I am often disappointed with Indian restaurants!) For this reason I have given it 5 stars in "relative terms", and would highly recommend a visit.

The food is always really tasty here and it's always the go to takeaway for us but eating in is always an odd experience. Admittedly, I was there on a Tuesday night so not likely to be heaving but even then it was dead. Food is always great though so worth a look if you can overcome the lack of atmosphere.
