I LOVE Yeti Restaurant in Davis. It is seriously one of my go to spots. My order is pretty basic,…read morebut I get it every single time because it never disappoints. I always go for the butter chicken, medium spicy, and it is so good. The flavor is rich, perfectly spiced, and just hits every time. I also get their garlic naan, which pairs perfectly with the sauce. I usually end up spending around 24 dollars when I add extra rice and garlic naan to the butter chicken, but honestly, it is so worth it. The portions are really generous. It is easily the size of two meals in one, so you can definitely save some for the next day. I have not tried any other Indian food spots in Davis, and to be honest, I do not really feel the need to because this place is just that good. Whether I get it to go or sit down with friends and family, the experience is always great. They are very quick with their service, and even when I order ahead, the food is still hot and ready to go when I pick it up. Overall, this is a spot I will keep going back to. Great food, great portions, and always consistent.

Gonna bump this back up to a four. Food has been consistently good again. Maybe there were just…read moregrowing pains. The chicken makhani is great again. It's no longer oddly sweet. The chicken Tikka is tasty and a great entry into Indian food if you have never been. Chicken momos were a little spicy, so if you don't like spice at all maybe skip them. Yeti hasn't undergone any deep cleans or refurbishing, it could probably use one. The booth chairs are cracking and my wife found them uncomfortable to sit on. The service is typically friendly, and we've never had issues. The only thing that still irks me is charging for a rice refill while eating in restaurant. I'll take it to the grave that rice refills in restaurant should be free.

The lady who seated us was very attentive and welcoming. She quickly brought us fresh naan and kept our water glasses filled throughout the meal. For the buffet price, there was a good selection of dishes, and everything was simple and satisfying. My favorite was the butter chicken. The flavor was delicious, although I do wish the sauce had been a bit thicker. It was a little too watery for my preference, but still enjoyable. Overall, this is a solid lunch buffet and a great value for the price. Friendly service, fresh naan, and decent food make it worth a visit if you're in the area and craving Indian food.

When I was an undergrad over a decade ago, I would only come here for the lunch buffet, and it was…read moremy favorite lunch buffet to go to. Fast forward to now, my husband, sister, and I decided to come here for dinner because yeti restaurant was closed. For those who haven't been in here before, the best way I can describe this restaurant is dark. Paint is dark, booth are dark. Everything is kind of moody and dark. Definitely not my kind of aesthetic, but does that really matter for this restaurant? No. The service is always fine. Staff is always friendly enough and fast. When we got the food, we were pleasantly surprised, like I said before I have only eaten at the buffet here and that was over a decade ago. While we were eating, we noted that we actually enjoyed the flavors here more than we enjoy the flavors at yeti restaurant. Something about the blend of spices just fits our palette more than the other restaurant. We found that there was an adequate amount of food, they didn't skimp out on meats, and we were overall really happy with our meal. Is it the best Indian food I've ever had? No, but it was really good by Davis standards and consider considering that there aren't a ton of Indian places in the Sacramento area. I think this might be our new go to Indian place now! I'm glad I gave this another shot!

First of all, this spot gets a bad rap sometimes and I think it's because people are used to a…read morecertain regional Indian cuisine and people don't realize the variety of the Indian subcontinent. Kathmandu Kitchen is named after a city in Nepal, so it should be no surprise the food here is Indian and Nepali. While I can't speak to the flavor or authenticity of their momos or other Nepali staples, their curries are extremely delicious and distinct from other Indian restaurants and recipes I've tried. I think the first thing you might notice is that a lot of their curries have a touch of sweetness, and pretty much all of their curries have a consistent texture. They do an amazing job making each curry silky and rich and flavorful. Every dish tastes fresh and unique in their own spice profiles and marinades. I highly recommend the paneer tikka masala, chicken makhani (very similar/the same as butter chicken I think), kitchen masala, and basil curry. Also, their actual restaurant experience is very nice too. The staff is very courteous and professional. The restaurant is large, vibey, and clean. There are two reasons I don't give Kathmandu a 5 star. The first that both me and partner almost always need to add salt to the dish. I could see why someone might write off Kathmandu if they went a few times and wrote it off because they never tried adding salt to their dish. The second reason is that the spice level isn't as consistent as I'd like. Sometimes, asking for medium spice level results in almost no heat, sometimes it borders on too much. Sometimes getting hot spice level is hot but enjoyable, sometimes it's very hot even for me. Mild is consistent but Id guess that's because they simply don't add extra hot chili powder or something like that. Overall, I highly recommend this spot if you love Indian food and want to try some Nepali spins and flavors.

It was generously filled with falafel, and the pita and vegetables were fresh. My favorite part of the entire sandwich was actually the pickle, which tasted homemade and was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the falafel itself was the weak point. It lacked the bold seasoning and flavor I was expecting, and I could noticeably taste the cooking oil, which took away from the overall experience. Overall, the meal was edible and the atmosphere was enjoyable, but the food didn't quite live up to what I've had at other places. While I'm glad I gave it a try, it wasn't memorable enough for me to return.

I've shown up during your normal business hours and every time, there's a big closed sign posted on your door. If you do go, don't follow my lead. Definitely call first.

It's one drumstick. The side of cucumber and onion were mostly filler so I this plate left more to be desired. Egg shami burger: C- I ordered this because it sounded interesting and was cheap, but the bread was just not enjoyable to me. It was too soft and just tasted like a premade hamburger bun. The egg is okay but doesn't stand out as something that highlights a sandwich/burger. Some contrasting textures would have helped too like a crunchy pickled vegetable. I must say though that the service is super friendly here and they gave samples of one of their spiced drinks.

I got the Samosa Chaat and the Chicken Biryani. Samosa Chaat - really good! Tons of flavor and filling. Great value for 5.99 for two pieces. Spicier then expected! They aren't playing around with the spice level here, you should let them know if you can't handle your spice. Chicken Biryani - overall, pretty solid dish. While the chicken was tender and fall apart, it was a little dry. Not dry enough to make the dish unenjoyable, but definitely a little drier than I expected when comparing to the Samosa Chaat. Service - the two individuals manning the food truck were very nice and explained all the various dishes to me. You also get a little free water with your order. Ambiance - they're located in a gas station parking lot with four or five parking spots nearby adjacent to the tire pressure refilling station. They also have a few tables and chairs set up in the shade behind the food truck if you want to eat there. Conclusion: I will definitely be back to try out some of their other dishes. If you enjoy Pakistani food and can handle your spice, stop by and give them a try.

As a former UC Davis student and current Davis resident, it's crazy to see how far Shaws has come!…read moreI remember when Shaws and star Ginger were the only food trucks on campus and it was such a great meal at a good deal. Now they have their own storefront with a ton more options to customize your meal, and more options and things to order overall. The storefront is not huge, but I don't think it needs to be. It's clean and pretty well organized. The service is also fine. I ordered a combo rice bowl and was glad to be able to add extra toppings like tomatoes in the such. Now, the one thing that they don't do like the old truck used to do is load up with sauce. The old truck used to drown your bowl in sauce whereas now they're a little more conservative, but I imagine you could ask for more if you wanted more. The bowl itself tasted good. It's not going to be the best Halal food that you'll get in Davis or anywhere else in the world, but it tasted nostalgic, and I really enjoyed the whole thing. My husband who is currently on campus more than I am noted that the storefront gives you more food than the food truck at the silo. He also said that the food tasted better here.

The eggs are fluffy, the potatoes are both crisp and soft, and the fatty gyro meat and bacon add the perfect savory flavor to the burrito. The hot honey and Tapatío bring a sweet and spicy combo that makes it feel unique while still balanced. The inside was bustling even on a holiday weekend, but takeout was made easy with the kiosk setup. At only $11 and ready in under five minutes, it's hard to ask for much more.
