Came here with my spouse for dinner on a Friday night. We walked in at about 7pm, the place was pretty full, but there were still a couple of tables left so we didn't have to wait! Whenever we go to Indian restaurants, we always tend to over order. One order of curry always seems to go a long way with rice and naan. We decided to reel it back a little and order less. Here's what we ordered: Himalayan Momos, fried, chicken - Reminds me a lot of the Chinese dumplings I grew up with, except the whole momo was deep fried, which I'm never opposed to. They don't skimp on the meat, and the sauce was delicious. Garlic Cheese Naan - This.... GET THIS! It's like naan other. Nice and cheesy. I could smell the garlic, but I didn't get a lot of the garlic taste. Chicken Tikka Masala - Always a safe and delicious Indian dish. This was very good, didn't regret my decision to order it. Mango Lassi - My spouse always loves getting these. This one was on par with others I've had at other Indian restaurants. Sweet and thick. Before Himalayan Yeti, this building always housed some sort of restaurant that always looked a bit sketchy. I'm glad Himalayan Yeti found its home here as this is definitely a place I would revisit. I'll be back for the lunch buffet! read more

This was my first time eating here. Of course due to the COVID restrictions, I placed my order to go via phone. Using the pick up window on the side of the building was extremely easy & fast. I ordered chicken curry, chicken mono & lamb vindaloo. OMG, I was not disappointed. All the dishes were soo soo good. I definitely will recommend this rest read more

Staff is so rude, they forgot to include my daughters food in our takeout order and when I called, they said I had to call the Beyond Menu website to get a refund but couldn't give me a phone number and wouldn't give me a refund themselves or make a new order. read more

100% one of my favorite Indian places in the city. Curry, rice, and everything is amazing. I could talk about them for hours and eat it everyday. read more

If you get nothing else, get the chili cheese naan. Their lunch buffet is also sooooo good. read more

Good but not great. I like the momo and other food, but there's competition for Nepalese in the area now and I'm not sure they've fully kept up. Recently ordered online, had to wait 30min past my time while 2 other guys came in and picked up. Still on my list, but I'll also be exploring other options. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall type of place, but if you enjoy Indian food you will love the blend of Indian and Nepalese dishes. The buffet is what I'm always there for and while it's not huge, every dish is very tasty. Ingredients are fresh so full of flavor. One of my current top 5 in St.Louis. read more

I had such high hopes for this restaurant after seeing all of the other amazing reviews on Yelp but must say, I was disappointed when I tried it myself. The naan was very fluffy and slightly sweet. It was, by far, the best part of the meal. We came for lunch on a weekday, so we could try a variety of dishes. The veggie pakora were dry and hard to eat, unfortunately; very disappointing compared to what I have had at other restaurants. The tandoori chicken was suprisingly lacking in flavor and overcooked. The chicken curry was pleasantly seasoned, but the chicken tikka masala had no flavor; it honestly tasted like cubed chicken mixed with coconut milk and canned tomato sauce (with no spices added). I have never been so disappointed in a chicken tikka masala dish. To top it off the galub jamun were not light and fluffy like I have had it before; they were cold, dense, and tasted like they had too much spice added to the batter. I couldn't finish them no matter how hard I tried. read more

The lunch buffet is definitely a hidden gem- well priced with plenty of delicious options. There is plenty of parking, we were seated immediately, and they were attentive to keeping our waters filled and table clean. We enjoyed our meal and will be coming back again soon because we LOVE this place. read more

LOVE this place! I came here for dinner which is a la carte and had the goat biryani, tandoori chicken, and saag paneer along with some naan with my family. The food was wonderful and very well flavored. The tandoori chicken was unfortunately quite dry, hence 4 stars, but the other dishes were excellent and I am still excited to coms back and try other things. Their menu is fabulous and they've got a wide selection of great Indian dishes! I also love that the restaurant is easy to get to and has its own spacious parking lot. This is a place where you can probably seat a group of 8-10 people. The place is clean and well decorated. They offer a $9 weekday lunch buffet and a $10 weekend lunch buffet with goat curry. Btw I tried Rasoi, a popular Indian restaurant in central west end, the next day and found all of their vegetable curries to be oversalted. Between the two I would recommend Himalaya Yeti! read more

Omg the food here is so delicious. What a gem. I ordered the Chicken Korma and Garlic Naan. All so good. Great flavor, large portions, good quality chicken. The sauce was so amazing. By the time I wrote this review, my plate was clean! And I don't usually eat too much. The staff was friendly and the restaurant is super cute on the inside. I got takeout, but I'd eat inside too. It's cozy with a mix of booths and tables. Seemed like a lot of people ordered the garlic cheese naan. Maybe I'll try that next. I recommend this place! Great find. read more

Went here for a relaxed weekend dinner - we got the butter chicken and samosas. The butter chicken was fragrant and creamy - and it had a hefty serving of meat! Samosas were nice and crispy on the outside. The food also came out very quickly and the staff were very on point with service. Highly recommend for a cozy dinner! read more

Himalayan Yeti - Indian Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Pretty good food!!! We got takeout so not rating for atmosphere yet. Lots of options even for vegetarians. We got a variety of dishes and everyone was pretty satisfied. The food tasted fresh. For me, I requested minimal spice but it was still a bit spicy for me. For one of our part members, he requested extra spicy but didn't find it to be spicy enough. That's always a tough balance to find. The cheese naan was delicious. However, I was disappointed that the DoorDash menu was different from the restaurant's own menu and pricing was higher on some items. read more

If you are craving for authentic Nepali and Indian cuisine, then this place is worth going. As per the waiter, at Himalayan Yeti, they use locally grown fresh ingredients. Their spices are grounded fresh which always brings a fresher bolder flavor in the dishes. Well we sure had a wonderful experience there. The staff paid us attention and suggested a Non-Veg Thali (plate) for us. The Goat curry was delicious and all the other dishes tasted very Indian. It was exactly the kind of food you would find in a restaurant in India. The Raita was a bit sour for me and the Kheer could have been cooked for some time more, it should have been a bit thicker in consistency. read more

Himalayan Yeti serves Indian and Nepalese cuisine. This was actually our second time coming to Himalayan Yeti because the first time was so delish! We wanted to try the Momo (Indian Dumplings) and have our take at the lunch buffet again! Let me start by raving about their Tikki Masala! Seriously, some of the best or at least right up there as a top contender! The chicken breast dices were tender and the sauce really flavorful with all the spices balancing perfectly. If you want a unique Indian appetizer, try the Veggie or Chicken Momo! They are homemade and are a type of potsticker/dumpling full of Indian spices. We ordered them steamed and they were extremely fresh. The Chicken Curry and the Aloo Golbi/Navratan Korma (whichever it was) were also delicious. I always get the Saag of whatever kind the restaurant offers, and this Saag Paneer was not the best, but still pretty great. Now the best part...Gulab Jamun! Warm, fried, soft, and soaked in honey dessert balls that melt in your mouth. These are a must along with everything else. I don't think I need to say to go try Himalayan Yeti, so just eat there! read more

So - I love Nepalese food. It's very similar to Indian food - except there are Momos and less heat. These are like curried spice dumplings. I was disappointed in the shape of my non-circle dumplings - but it was still good. This is not in the buffet, but get it as an appetizer on the side. I came here for the buffet. It is small, and less friendly toward vegetarians. But - I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala, Beef Kofa, Chicken Tandoor, and some of the spinach dishes. It is also very heavy, I wish the salad section was a little more grand and the veggies was less starchy. But the lentil soup is good. This is a good place, but hyped up. Come - but don't go out of your way to come. read more

Favorite Indian food in the area. Solid flavor and they dont hold back on the spice in a good way. You can smell it from when you pull up to park. Get the cheese filled naan it's awesome read more

I ordered food to feed 12 adults. I spent about $20 per person for appetizers and bread, and entrees at a variety of heat levels. I called in the order the day before, and I asked for it to be ready at 5:15. We got to the restaurant at 5pm, paid then, waited until 5:15 when they had the food ready, and left for our home. When we finally got everything unpacked and set out, it was all still stinging hot. We ordered a variety of veg and meat entrees, including goat curry, several chicken dishes and a shrimp dish. Everything was at the requested heat level. The goat curry was the favorite dish. I really couldn't be more impressed with the service, quality, flavor and value of the food. We had enough left over for 4 people to take a lot of food home. read more

This place was amazing! I went for the first time during COVID, and it took me a minute to figure out where to pick up the food. You drive around to the side of the building with a little window on the side and you get it from there. So good! read more

Great place to get takeout with both vegetarian and multiple animal protein options. One naan was delicious and more than enough to share between two adults We'll be back to test out the lunch buffet. read more

Everything my group tried tonight was delicious. The dishes averaged around 12-13$ /each The waitress was very kind and gave us recommendations without hesitation. The eggplant dish was a recommendation and it was delicious! This is coming from someone who dislikes eggplants. Tikka Masala was my favorite of the four dishes. It is on the sweeter side so getting it as medium spicyness would have been the better move since it'll help balance the sweetness- hindsight 20/20. Nevertheless, still a delicious dish and def recommend. Rice did come with the dishes we ordered for dinner. Naan was extra ( four naan in one order). The naan was warm, fluffy, and delicious. I definitely recommend trying it! I liked the plain better than the garlic, but that's my preference. FYI Vindaloo medium was spicier than the chicken curry medium. You can customize the spicy level, which is always a plus in my opinion! read more

One word - YUM. Nepalese buffet for $10? Yes please! Super nice people, food is so good!!

My friend suggested Himalayan Yeti a few months back when I was in town and I make sure to visit every time I am near the St. Louis area. Great food and customer experience every time. I haven't dinned in yet but the place looks nice and clean each time I visit. Highly suggested the Butter Chicken with the Garlic Naan bread. read more

Love this spot. Tried their curbside window on a Sunday evening, and it was a seamless operation! - 25 min for order to be ready - drive up window - all employees wearing PPE - good service - food was even better this time than I remember it being Thanks for a good curbside experience in this new normal! read more

We've been here a few times, once to try the buffet and another to order takeout. The buffet was alright but the takeout was excellent. The cheese naan is amazing read more

I've been here two times. The first time I had dinner and the second one lunch (buffet). Both of the times I had a great experience. I wish I tried the lunch a long time ago. The food is delicious and authentic. The chicken meat is my favorite. I highly recommend to try their buffet, the options are right and service is efficient Tikka Masala is the best one I tried before. Chicken tandoori is so tasty and healthy if you are looking for a light option. Next time I'm going to try something different, maybe a seafood dish. read more

One of my FAVORITES in the city! Go for their lunch buffet and sample it all, or go for dinner and order your favorites! Their aloo gobi is my go to! read more

My family absolutely loves this restaurant! The food is amazing and the service is so wonderful!

Came here for day off lunch because co-worker's husband is Nepalese and loved the food here. The lunch buffet is a steal! $9.99 for all the basics. chutneys, veggie options, chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, tandoori chicken, a beef dish, some sort of saag, potatoes and peas, naan, rice Rice pudding, sweet glazed donut looking things we didn't get to try Some chai in airpots and soup I rarely eat this type of food, so I'm not super knowledgeable or critical, but it's definitely cheaper and better than Rasoi near me in CWE. I thought I was starving, but the food hits you fast and hard. It's heavy and creamy and the rice and bread really fills you up. I definitely recommend grabbing less than you think you need to start. Food for the most part was flavorful, seasoned, and cooked well. Items were refreshed regularly and quick when they got low. My favorite thing we ate there was the tomato chutney. Very familiar to me but I wasn't sure why, but it was super umami and I couldn't stop eating it with everything. The one big negative... A few items were very salty. The mix pickles hurt my tongue from being so inedible. And even though the food is meant to be eaten with rice, they were still a bit too salty to be enjoyable. Might be a fluke though. Edit: BEST MOMOs EVER. The chicken ones were sooo juicy and I seriously need to learn how to pack that much filling into a chinese dumpling too. Lots of meat, worth the price. Yum! read more

We have dined at Himilayan Yeti many times and enjoyed the food and the ambiance. However, today our visit was very upsetting. I picked up my son from school and he asked if we could swing by and have their buffet. He loves the chicken tikka masala. As we pulled up, I made sure they were still open for the buffet. Per their signage, both permanently on the door and the sign out front.. They advertise their buffet is from 11am to 2:30pm. It was 2:20pm when we arrived and walked in the door. They informed us they were closed. I said to them, how can you be closed when you advertise your Buffet is until 2:30. And they explained to me that they start closing at 2:20. The exact time we walked in the door. So their advertising is false. They offered to let us purchase an order of chicken tikka masala to go, however, when they rang it up it was $22 instead of the $9.99 that I would have paid had I purchased the buffet. They then informed me I had to pay full price for the meal and that their buffet was no longer $9.99 it had been raised to $11. Still, $11 would have been cheaper than what they were charging us for food they would have pitched anyway. They could have rectified the issue of their false advertisement and retained a good customer and given us our order for the same price as we would have paid for it on the buffet, but they did not. Too bad. I will not recommend them anymore and we will not be coming back. read more

I am really really surprised by 4.5 star rating for this restaurant. If you go to a buffet and you are out in 10 mins that explains how good the restaurant is. We were in town for a day so went here on weekday buffet seeing good ratings. The restaurant was extremely dark and gloomy. Just couple of tables filled. First thing we notice the number of options in buffet were way too less but thats ok as may be we are comparing to restaurants in Chicago area which have huge Buffet selection. As long as the food is Good No complaints. Now comes the worst part ! FOOD ! Everything we ate was cold. Not even warm! Tandoori was really dry and the meat seemed old, reheated and weird in taste. Vegetarian pakoras again were cold and hard. The naan was more like a very thick pita . Goat curry flavorless , Chicken makhani very tangy. Vegetarian Main course curries were like Bhindi and Cauliflower which dont qualify as primary main course selections in restaurants . Dessert was gulab jamun which was really weird in taste and seemed liked they were microwaved too. Then comes the best part i was very excited when i saw a container with Tea since it was snowing outside . To my surprise the tea was solid cold not even warm. It was whitish in color and seemed like was made form milk powder. Mind you, I am not talking about Ice tea here. Just a regular Indian/Nepalese tea. We were really upset and wanted to talk to the restaurant staff about this but then we just paid and left as we did not want to spoil our trip. I dont know if it was just that day that everything was cold and bad but by far the worst food i have had in USA so far. read more

Everything I've ever had here has been excellent. When friends are in town I take them here. The best Indian food I've had in St. Louis.

I've been three times, and tried 6 different dishes. Have not been disappointed yet. The food is delicious, but the service is slow. Takes the server quite some time to bring water, take your order, and drop off the check at the end of the meal... so don't eat in if you have somewhere to be. We have ordered takeout and the food was hot and fresh when we arrived 20 minutes later. My favorite dish so far has been the tikki masala- the sauce is the rock star of this dish. I've had it with chicken (a little dry) and with shrimp (perfectly cooked). There is really not a "heat" factor to this sauce, so feel free to ask them to bump it up if you want spicy. My next favorite would be the vegetarian sampler- comes with 4 different dishes that will certainly fill you up. Try this one if you are going here for the first time- its a great introduction to more than just one type of food. While you wait for your entrée, the table has a basket of "crackers" with 2 dipping sauces. At first you may think that you should not order pita since the table already has these crackers, but I really recommend you order the pita- we've had the garlic pita for a more traditional flavor (sooo good dipped into the tikka masala sauce) or try the chili cheese pita for some creamy cheese/spicy flavor (also good dipped into your sauce). read more

Lunch buffet everyday during the week. Good buffet, minus the "salad" as it is really anemic! The staff are nice and attentive. Dinner is really the time to go in my opinion! The lamb vindaloo is superb! read more

High hopes. It was a Sunday evening and we were jonsin' for some curry. I have been wanting to try HY for a bit. It has been open about 2 years. It's hard to look past the exterior (and interior). It's very run down and dated. Still, I know one should never judge based on the outside... We were seated right away, given menus and waited a looooong time before one of the two servers returned to take our order. People were continuing to come in and they lost track of who was seated longest, etc. Needless to say we put our order in after two other parties that entered after us. We had to grab silverware from the table next to us. So- don't go here if you are expecting quality servers. We had the garlic cheese naan and the onion stuffed naan. The cheese in the naan was non-descript and very well could have been mozzarella. It was pretty oily as well. The coconut chicken and lamb rogan josh were seasoned well. The slickness was to our liking. All of that was about $40 which is on the cheaper side. We left full and content but don't know if we will be running back for more. Again, harder for me to look past the atmosphere and service... read more
