Yak & Yeti Colchester.

Locals in Colchester have found a real gem in Yak & Yeti, where the cooking draws from both Indian and Nepalese traditions. This isn’t your standard curry house—the kitchen brings a Himalayan touch to familiar favourites, creating a menu that feels both comforting and adventurous. The biryani here is a standout, layered with fragrant spices and tender meat, while the Nepalese dishes offer something genuinely different from the usual high-street offerings.

Think rich, slow-cooked curries with depth, alongside lighter, herb-flecked specialities from the foothills of the Himalayas. The chefs clearly understand how to balance heat with flavour, and the biryani alone is worth the order—each grain of rice separate and infused with aroma. Perfect for a weekend delivery or a lazy evening collection, this is one of those rare takeaways that makes you rethink what Indian food can be. Order online and treat yourself to something a little out of the ordinary.
