Yak And Yeti Restaurant

Yak and Yeti on Newington Road is one of Edinburgh's few dedicated Himalayan and Nepalese restaurants, bringing the distinct spice profile of Nepal and northern India to a stretch of EH9 that has become the city's most concentrated Chinese restaurant corridor. The head chef has been cited with a best chef award in 2010 and brings years of experience to a menu of Nepalese and Indian dishes alongside familiar curry-house options. Reviewers on OpenTable rate it 4.4/5 and Yelp shows 15 recent reviews with generally positive feedback on the authentic flavours, welcoming décor and the student discount of around 15%. Starters run to around £3 and mains to £6, making it excellent value in a part of Edinburgh where the student population demands it. Open Monday–Saturday lunchtime and evenings, and Sunday evenings.
