I'm still dreaming about this food. I want to go back, like right now. Everything was just so darn good. Had some MoMo for appetizers (the best damn MoMo/dumplings I've ever had), butter chicken (okay, but you have to), the spinach paneer, and the naans. Every food item was salivatingly delicious that it was hard not to overstuff oneself. I think I did okay there. Service was kind and hospitable. The vibe inside was really nice and conducive to both a date and a work dinner. Loved it!

It feels like Dancing Yak has fallen from grace as one of the most hyped and popular restaurants in town. We went around 9 PM last night and the overall experience was lackluster m; from the service to the food. The hostess seated us, the server took out our order (never saw her again until we closed) and another server shoved the food on our table and scurried away without saying a word. Definitely did not get the "care and attention to customers" vibe. As for the food, the Naan was overcooked, the Seafood Curry was a disappointment, and the Momos did have decent flavor but the filling easily slipped out of the dough. I just was not feeling the overall experience but would be open to another visit to hopefully enjoy Dancing Yak as I did two years ago during my first visit.

This place is unbelievably good! Inside is nice/large, great for big or small groups. Food was so amazing - we got the spicy cauliflower, fried chicken, pork momos, chicken momos, aloo cauliflower, tikka masala curry, turmeric rice, & garlic naan. My favorites were definitely the fried chicken (10/10 must order) & curry! For cocktails we had the don't talk yak, avalanche in Everest, purple haze, & spicy yeti. Can't go wrong with anything on their cocktail menu. Overall, the food & flavors were 10/10. Decent portions for sharing (we had three ppl in our party). Ended up being around $80/person for the above. Service was great - went off on a lot of our waiter's recommendations. Can't wait to come back!

We were pretty disappointed. Server messed up our drink order, then drinks took until after the entrees arrived to come. The entrees were fine (recommend the goat, the naan and the Tika), but not better than most takeout I've had in the city. Ambiance has some Cheesecake Factory vibes and there were three teenager birthdays going on around us. Felt like the kind of place big groups of kids might go to before prom, if you know what I mean. Certainly a vibe, just not the one we were looking for.

The food is sooo good. I could eat here every day. You have to try the momos and the buttered chicken.

cocktails were really fun, the cheese naan was my favorite part. not a ton off veggie options unfortunately
Dined here with my family. The food was great, ambiance was soothing and the service was exceptionally great. Servers were quick and pleasant. Their starters and momos were delicious. Would recommend.
this is a wonderful intimate restauran. the momos were amazing and the drinks were spot on. I brought friends here for the first time and everyone had a great time. thank you dancing yak

This place is def good, I got the lamb curry with coconut milk which was a nice touch, and avoiding gluten and diary. The foods was on point . I stopped in real quick to eat at the bar I was craving Indian food, and curry, and this hit the spot. It does get busy though, so for a group make a rsvp.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options on the menu, and gluten free.Dietary restrictions: They sub coconut milk for diary, and nuts,and meats can be moved around and don’t ruin the dish. All in all good for people with restrictionsParking: If you know Valencia street you know it is hard to find a spot here. So there’s a lot somewhere I think, but the price is high, and street parking after 6is free
This place is phenomenal. The food, cocktails, and decoration are all great. I usually go there with friends and we order a series of appetizers that turn out to be tasty and perfect amount of food as well. The staff is very friendly, and though cocktails take a bit of time, it's worth the waiting as the mixology is so high level!

Came here on a Thursday evening with a party of 3. We made a reservation the night before on Yelp, which was an easy process, but it didn't seem to busy and you could probably walk in around that same time without a long wait. I ordered the Butter Chicken with a side of Garlic Naan. At first, I thought $5 for garlic naan was quite high; however, they do give you a good portion! The butter chicken was creamy and so delicious. Lots of great flavors that paired well with each other. I also got the Avalanche in Everest cocktail ($14), which is supposed to taste like a mango lassi. So good!! Doesn't taste exactly like a mango lassi because it is a cocktail after all, but it is probably the closest you could ever get. Service was good. Our food did take a while to come out (not sure why) but we were too busy chatting away to really be bothered by it. I would come back here again to try some of their other cocktails and some of their other menu items!

Yum! Nepalese food here is super tasty. The vibe of the spot is super cute. The kale chaat is one of my favorites and has a lot of different consistencies and flavors. The curry + biryani were very flavorful and I thought were a lot better than expected. The naan was also really good and always a bonus with these dishes. Momos were tasty and had a great sauce with it. I would return!
