I have eaten at a variety of different Indian restaurants and this was by far the worst. The atmosphere is depressing. The food is bland and not spicy at all, and we ordered spicy. The samosas we ordered were cold in the middle, so they are premade. I also heard a microwave in the back, so that's definitely a bad sign. We ordered cheese and garlic naan, it was nasty and had neither cheese or garlic on it/in it. Definitely do not recommend this establishment.

Went there last night no other customers wasn’t there except us we ordered 3 different dishes the portions of dishes are too small amount not even enough for one person. Also we ordered lamb byriani they brought goat byriani and no way to it’s call byriani just mixed the goat curry with the rice, after served our order no one showed up entire time we spent there. When we are getting out from restaurant we did not see any employees. We just left the tips on the table.What a beautiful customer service wow .

The 5 stars are for the food alone. It was strange walking in and ordering off a kiosk . The restaurant was cold. The food made up for all the negative I just mentioned. Husband had the lamb curry and said it was awesome. I had the chicken tikka masala and it was so good. My mouth is on fire but in a good way. Next time I’ll order mild.

We visited close to dinner time and were glad it wasn’t busy. The customer service was not great. It could have been a bit of an English barrier but we did initially receive the wrong item and another item completely different from how it was explained to us when asked specific questions prior to ordering.The biryani was really just curry mixed into white rice as huge chucks of white rice was in the middle. Dyes used in both the chutney given with the appetizer and the main course curries we received. We were given someone else’s meal or the same curry but different meat. Only for them to bring back the corrected meat once we started eating. Butter chicken was much more darker than typical, I guess due to the dye.Customer service wasn’t the best as we didn’t get extra plates, no water on the table, or eating utensils without having to ask.I don’t think it was worth the price we paid for 2 people. Food quality was good for 3 people. Atmosphere was on and off quiet. Can mainly hear personal streaming devices of staff. Bit annoying but it is what it is.Bathroom smelt good.

We ordered Indian food to go: 2 Tikki masalas and tandoori chicken with garlic Nun. The food was decent. We also had samosas and mango lassi. Though samosas were good, I wasn’t impressed by their lassi. I tried to place an order by phone but no one answered the phone. There is an option to order online but it doesn’t have a regular credit card pay option. So, I had to place the order in the restaurant and waited for it which weren’t convenient ( but fortunately didn’t take very long).

Can't say I am a fan. Menu is okay but know what you are ordering as asking questions of the staff is pretty much impossible. Also, menu prices don't match prices at the register. However, the biggest annoyance for me is that you basically take your own order and punch it in and pay for it. Might as well be ordering it online for pickup.

Don’t have children run your restaurant! When people call to give you business, be professional! Don’t hang up and say we are not open without a response to ask your hours. Disappointed! On a Wednesday, seriously? Don’t worry though y’all will be just like the restaurant before. Out of business! Good luck!

My wife and I had a very nice meal here. The veggie coconut korma with the Naan was excellent. It was a little strange at first self ordering from the screen but it all just fine. Quick service and good food at a nice price.

Yak was exactly what I was looking for when I want to go to Nepal without a long plane ride. It was delicious, gracious and unique. Pretend you've left home for a culinary adventure in another country and you will feel right at home. Leave your mind open and set your palette to curious. I wanted to try everything on their extensive menu. Very vegetarian friendly and lots of meat options for the carnivores. Don't forget to visit the gift shop for Nepalese handcrafted bags and jewelry. I wanted to do all my gift shopping there.
