“I would highly recommend going to Nepali restaurant Yak & Yeti (in the Al Quoz industrial area and in Astoria Hotel in Bur Dubai) for the steamed 'Buff' (Buffalo meat) momo's and chicken momo's. They are bursting with juicy meat and cooked to perfection. The fried momo's are very good too but I prefer the steamed ones. Their accompanying sauces are superb too. The restaurant in the industrial area is very low key and no frills but the do delivery anywhere in Dubai for orders over Dh 100”June 2020

Choose momos. Start with momos, especially fried, steamed or jhol versions; they are the clearest strength across the reviews.
Skip fried rice. If choosing from the wider menu, consider noodles or traditional Nepali dishes instead of fried rice, which one diner found reheated.
Confirm sauce. For takeaway or delivery, repeat your sauce preference and check the bag, since one regular customer repeatedly received white instead of red sauce.
Plan parking. Allow for paid parking: one section has one hour free, while another uses RTA parking.
Try thakali. For a fuller meal rather than snacks, order a thakali set; reviewers compare its taste favourably with meals in Kathmandu.

One customer reported momo dough that was soft and sticky with filling that seemed undercooked, so check the order before eating.
Fried rice received notably poor feedback, including a complaint that it seemed reheated and had rock-hard chicken pieces.
A repeat delivery customer said red sauce was requested but white sauce arrived instead on multiple occasions.
One delivery review says a vegetarian order arrived with chicken, followed by an unsatisfactory response to the complaint.
A review describes the restaurant as small, with roughly eight to ten tables, and says the surrounding area can feel busy.

10 piece of momos

The Bottom Line
Yak & Yeti is a casual Nepalese restaurant in Al Quoz where momos are the main draw. Reviews repeatedly point to steamed, fried, chicken, buff, beef and jhol momo, with several diners saying the flavour reminds them of Nepal or Kathmandu. For a more substantial meal, the thakali set, buff choila and chicken choila are strong choices, while sukiti and bhuttan add less familiar traditional options.
The setting is described as cosy but small, with around eight to ten tables; another review notes both indoor and outdoor seating. It has also handled birthday meals and family gatherings, and service is often described as friendly and attentive. One diner received buff momo within 11 minutes, though speed may vary.
Takeaway and delivery are available, with one customer praising an on-time family-gathering order. There are a few practical cautions. Fried rice was criticised as reheated, with hard chicken pieces, and one delivery arrived with chicken instead of a vegetarian dish.
A regular customer also repeatedly received white sauce after requesting red. Parking is paid, although one section reportedly includes one free hour. For a first visit, focus on momos or a thakali set and confirm delivery details carefully.
