    We had a good Saturday night dinner at Himalayan Wild Yak. Service was good and so was the food. Our order was a compromise given the mix of people, so I expect another visit to be even better. Their momos were yummy, with the chicken ones being somewhat spicy compared to the yak momos. The Tandoor salmon was tasty, but overcooked. The chow mein with yak meat tasted really good, but the yak was overcooked and chewy, almost like a jerky. The cauliflower curry was quite tasty and a reasonable spice level, with the only drawback being more potatoes than cauliflower in it. We each tried different teas - my light green tea (Gyurogo?) smelled and tasted good, but was clearly not worth seven dollars...

    Love this place especially their Mutton biryani! I would definitely say, this is the best one in nova area. And the pickle they serve it with, is delish! Awesome service and nice ambience!

    Since this place opened we've been curious to try since we've never had this type of cuisine. We decided to try this time to finally satisfy our curiosity and sorry to say it's not our thing. We ordered two items to go so cant speak to ambiance or service. Got the Chicken momo with chutney and the Yak short ribs. The chicken momo does not come with chutney but we got it for an extra charge. Glad we did because without the chutney these dumplings are just plain old chicken dumplings. Was so excited to try the yak short ribs but upon opening it up there was a really bad smell. I imagine it must be comparable to boar taint in pork. This is our first time eating yak so I don't know if there should be a smell or not but it was horrendous. We could only eat the rice and felt bad the meat went to waste. The two items we got totaled over $40.

    Food is very delicious, highly recommend Momo Yak and Biryani Yak, can't wait to go back again.

    Great Nepalese cuisine with excellent service and a pleasant ambiance. The food was delicious and well prepared. I went with a Nepalese friend, and they confirmed that the flavors are authentic. The biryani was especially good--rich, spicy, and very satisfying. Overall, a great dining experience.

    I only did a quick drop in to eat some of my friend's food while they were dining in ---and what I had was absolutely delicious! The portions were nice and the food was flavorful. They have committed fully to their theme of the wild yak and it makes for interesting decor as well. The service was friendly and helpful, as they were supportive in us joining our friends to help finish up their food. I do plan to return the next time I'm in the area to try my own meal! The yak biriyani and the chicken kabob were highlights this time around!

    The ambiance, service and Food was great! We were here on 2/14 and were expecting slow service but that did not occur. We had a reservation and only waited may be 10 minutes before we got seated. We knew exactly what we wanted to order and placed it right away. the food came out timely and food was served hot, like we wanted. Would definitely recommend Himalayan Wild Yak as we've been coming here many times.

    Menu. They have a happy hour food menu.

    Himalayan food you say? Come to Himalayan Wild Yak at the Brambleton town center. Delicious food with a little kick. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a few drinks and different plates. The service was great and the food came out quickly and delicious. When you walk in, yo you're right is the bar and to the left is the restaurant. We had the wild boar, samosa chat, chicken sekuwa and the roasted potatoes. Loved each as they had a delicious blend of spices and were cooked just right. Come and enjoy! Would recommend.

    Did not have eating yak on my bingo card for my visit to VA. Damn it's great! We had the yak dumplings, I think called momo (so tasty and packed a flavor punch) and a few set meals of yak and lamb curries with veggies and dal. Also had butter chicken (EXCELLENT) and nan bread. Everything was delicious. The service was exceptionally DELIGHTFUL. It's a big lively fun place that I hear is usually slammed busy. Pretty mellow last night and we had a great time.

    This was a super fun and unique dining experience and the food was exceptional. Highly recommend the yak momo and yak korma. Wild boar was also fun to try and very well seasoned! They also have amazing mango lassi. The location and ambience are a little underwhelming but I hope they do well!

    Came here on a Friday night with some family for a late-ish dinner, around 8:15 (they close at 10). We parked in a free public garage around the corner but there's also street parking. We walked in and it there was around a 15 minute wait for a table. The decor was nice and I loved the huge yak that people could take pictures with up front. We got seated sooner than estimated and the dining room was still pretty full. We started with drinks. Got the Khukuri, Fragrant Lavender, Himalayan Mule, and a Smokey Old Fashioned. My drink was the Khukuri which was refreshing and not too strong. Loved the presentation of the Smokey Old Fashioned with the cloche. Pretty much everyone at the table loved the drinks. For food we got the Bhuteko Aalu, Crispy Pork Belly, and the Yak Momo to start. The Bhuteko Aalu was super flavorful and had a nice kick. The pork belly skin had a great crispiness. The Yak Momo were of a great size and very meaty. The sauce that came with went great. For our entrees we got two orders of Braised Short Yak Ribs and the Yak Korma. We also added on naan because it was necessary. The short yak ribs were so tender and flavorful. The korma was so creamy but had huge tender chunks of meat (lots of tender meat!). The rice was cooked perfectly and the naan was great to soak up the korma gravy. To end we got two orders of Gulab Jamun which was a great sweet finisher to the meal. This place really lived up to the hype. Great service, nice decor, and amazing food and drinks. One of the best restaurants in the county in my opinion!

Neither my husband or I had ever had Indian food and never Himalayan but we were open to something new. My first visit was of course the immaculate bathroom, and then we were seated and looked over the menu. We were so happy our choices were so delicious. I had the cucumber salad and chicken jalfrezi (mild) and my husband had the shrimp vindaloo medium spice. Not only were our choices great but the rice was unexpectedly light and favorable. I tried the garlic Naan bread which I had never had before, it was slightly crispy and delicious. The whole restaurant was immaculately clean and our server was knowledgeable, helpful, and gave us a lot of information about the food and the spices. This would be a great place for a party it's quite large and I can see it being a bridal shower, family reunion, birthday or old friends get together. It was really a terrific place and I can now say I like Himalayan food!! Sue Frick, Jersey Shore

It's inside a Liberty gas station right off Little River Turnpike (used to be John Mosby Highway), and from the outside you'd never expect there to be a hidden gem there. I tried the steamed chicken momo, chili chicken momo, and fried chicken momo. My favorite was probably the steamed chicken momo, but the other two were still interesting to try. There's also a Krunch Chicken connected to the momo spot, and honestly the fried chicken was my favorite part of the whole meal. It was super juicy and reminded me of Jollibee because the seasoning actually had flavor on the inside too, not just the outside. I got the 3-piece combo which came with a side of your choice, and a sweet biscuit for around $13. The gravy was super hot which i really liked and the biscuit reminded me of cornbread because of the texture. I spent around $50 total for the three momo orders and the chicken combo. I'd definitely come back for the fried chicken, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way for the momos again. Also, the gas station itself is kind of like a mini 7-Eleven -- they sell snacks, beer, wine, ice, etc.

This place shares space with a gas station, one stop shop vibes and all. You'd think the food might be mid at best. Nope. Total opposite. Family-run, super kind people, and they're serving up legit, authentic Nepalese food. Both types of momos were on point -- juicy, flavorful, the kind you burn your mouth on because you can't wait. My kids crushed the noodles, which says a lot. Clean plates all around. Never judge a book by its cover. Some of the best food lives where you least expect it. If this place were closer, I'd be there once a week.

I've been eating here since Royal Nepal opened and was under different management. I've even dined at both the original (Brambleton, VA) and Arlington locations of Himalayan Wild Yak, a spin-off of sorts by two of the original owners. Both of these restaurants deserve your patronage as well when you're in either Arlington or out by Dulles. They are all great. The difference that Royal Nepal brings to the "table" is simple. They never lost that neighborhood feel and they don't take their patrons for granted. With a location down the block from the Birchmere and nestled in the up and coming Arlandria neighborhood of Alexandria, they project both a hometown restaurant feel as well as an adventurous vibe - have you ever eaten yak? The staff are real gems and the ambiance is a real treat from the "pickled veggies" on the window shelves down to the handmade Nepali napkins, this place is a virtual travelog. I can only say explore their menu and you're sure to find a treasure right here in the neighborhood.
