Nearly perfect dinner. Mango lassi veggie mono and Nan. Ambience was perfect. But the best part is the news from India today the 41 construction workers are out!!! read more

Yeti is incredible! The wait staff made us feel right at home, and the food + experience was DIVINE. This was such a breath of fresh air on our visit to Glen Ellen. I highly recommend this restaurant, if only for a welcomed venture from wine country cuisine. We had the chicken momo, lamb tandoori, eggplant potato masala, and the larger than life garlic naan. All the sauces and the flavor on the lamb was OUTSTANDING. Also - if you think of it and you like spicy, ask for the hot sauce. The pistachio ice cream was a delicious closer. Thank you Yeti, we love you! read more

A very nice meal. Everything was tasty...Naan bread is fabulous. Service was excellent. It was a lovely evening to sit out on their patio. And best of all....we walked in with four people on a Saturday evening with no reservation and had no wait! read more

Everyone in my group loved their meal. In fact we argued about which of us ordered best. We ordered prawns masala, chicken tiki masala, lamb shank curry, chicken tandoori, also brown and white rice and naan bread. The garlic naan bread is huge and delicious. The servings are all huge and everyone took home leftovers. The server was very kind and the ambiance is lovely. read more

Had an amazing meal. The staff was super accommodating on a busy night and treated us more like guests than an inconvenience. The tandoori prawns were amazing as was the chicken vindaloo. The olive basil naan was one of the best naans I have ever eaten. The menu offered loads of unique items that I haven't seen anywhere and each had a great descriptor explaining what it contained. The outdoor seating was surrounded by a beautiful garden and maintained a peaceful serenity throughout our meal. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Food was average, pretty bland as far as my experience with Indian food goes. Portions were small, naan looked good unfortunately we did not order it on this visit. Service was quick and curt not sure that I would give this one a recommend at this point but I only visited once while on vacation. Setting was pretty by the river, may need a bit of a spruce up. read more

Didn't realize I hadn't posted a review yet!! This is waaay overdue!! My girlfriend and I went on our very first date here four years ago- and it's OUR spot for anniversary dinners and weekend get always! The establishment has a feel of serenity and the ambiance is unmatched! The food is superior to any Himalayan restaurant we've had and we've gone to San Francisco but our heart is set on Yeti. We haven't tried the Santa Rosa location despite it being within walking distance as we like to save our Himalayan visits specifically for the Glen Ellen location. First date! 2nd date? Looking for a romantic setting? Let Yeti be your choice!! Thanks Narayan and staff! You guys do an excellent job! Food: Excellent Service: Superior Environment: Romantic and relaxing read more

I went to dinner at Yeti with a group of 5. We each ordered a different dish and shared it, along with saffron rice, garlic naan, and butter naan. Everything was absolutely delicious! The service was very good and I was pleasantly surprised that they had beer and wine. My glass of La Crema Chardonnay went perfectly with this excellent meal. read more

Bland overcooked and overpriced food served by surly servers. Such a pity as it's a nice setting.

I had a horrible experience at this resutrant on August 28, 2021. These people do not know how to respect customers. My friends and I were travelling to Santa Rosa to participate in Marathon. On the way to SR, we decided to visit Jack London National park and stopped by this restaurant. This restaurant was clean and ambience was nice. Placing the food order was easy. However, the most horrible experience was yet to come. I was almost finishing a paneer dish when I found hair. We did not complain until an old lady came to pick up empty dishes. I showed the hair to her without asking for a replacement dish or anything. She picked up the hair, checked the length of the hair and checked my hair color and length, and said "This is your hair". I was stunned. didn't know what to say. Felt so humiliated. She left and went inside and started talking to her colleagues. While I was watching her from the window ( we were sitting on the patio). I think Restaurant owners should give some basic hospitality training to their staff. Minimum, they should know how to say Sorry and not insulting the customer. Never ever go to this place. read more

The food here is wonderful! Highly recommend the chai tea, tandoori chicken, and definitely the naan bread!!

Major Good Surprise - We were trying to get into the restaurant next door - which had a very long wait list, so we "settled" for Yeti and were we happy we did. The Indian and Nepalese menu items were nicely prepared and very flavorful. Trust the waitstaff's recommendation on dishes. read more

Enjoyed everything so yummy! I highly recommend getting various dishes and sharing. You'll want a taste of as much as you can!

Food is so good we've come back, but the service is pretty brusque, so I'm probably done. I had to interrupt to finish my order, and then asked for a box which never came. By the time I could ask again, I had run out of energy defending my food from the bugs outside that I just left it. I'd recommend takeout. read more

We had a massage across the street and the gals recommended this amazing restaurant. Just wanted we needed. We were hungry after wine tasting and a massage and was ready for a warm hearty meal. We ordered vegetable momo's with a green wrap, tomato soup, saag paneer and a vegetable curry. All was so good. Can't forget the garlic freshly thrown naan and side of brown rice. The saag wasn't fully green, wax mixed with other spices and had large chunks of paneer. There's also wineries across the street if you want to make it a local affair! read more

Post PG&E blackout. Visiting grandma and all my vegan daughter could say is 'are we going to Yeti in Glen Ellen?'..... My reply? (Being the wonderful father that I am)...of course Bear we will be. My favorite cuisine. I never tire of it; better than the Indian we had over the summer in Chiswick, London.. read more

The chicken momo to start is a must. It's so good with the all the sauces they serve. We then like to go with chicken tandoori and chicken tikka masala because it's so tasty but everything we've had is delicious. All this food is especially nice to experience while outside on the deck under the trees and near the creek. read more

Great food selection, attentive service and nice seating outside. What else do you need? Enjoy your family company in perfect place.

This was such a great find in Sonoma! It's right next to a pricier Italian restaurant and I'm so happy we chose to come here instead. The food was amazing and the prices were very reasonable! The interior decor looked very authentic and it gave the place a very nice vibe overall. There were only a couple other parties there besides us (we were eating a very late lunch) and we were free to choose our own seats. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and food came out fairly fast! I ordered their fish curry lunch special. Their lunch specials come with salad and rice. I really enjoyed the fish curry! The fish was super tender and the flavor of the fish blended very well with their mild curry, which wasn't too spicy but still had a lot of flavor. It was creamy but not heavy (thank goodness..it was a very large plate of curry). They give you a generous serving of rice as well--just enough to finish all of the curry, in my opinion. It was delicious! I also ordered garlic naan on the side. It was very good as well. Jut a tad bit oily, but you can tell it was freshly made and came straight from the oven. I was very pleased with this place overall. Will definitely make a stop here if I'm ever in this part of Sonoma County again. read more

Yeti Restaurant - Fish curry - Indian Near Me - Glen Ellen, California

Yeti Restaurant brings a taste of the Himalayas to the slopes of Sonoma Mountain. It's one of the few remaining businesses at Jack London Village. It's got a serene view of Sonoma Creek. Dining out on the patio gives a sense of nirvana. The service is friendly&fairly fast. I ordered their mattar paneer as well as coffee with cream. Amazingly, their coffee with cream looked very close to latte art. It would be great to know what coffee they serve- it's wonderful. They make a great mattar paneer, a superb blend of savory&spicy without being overpowering. Yes, it does need more paneer. They make it in sizable chunks rather than tiny squares. It's filling&nourishing. While the mighty Himalayas were formed from the Indian subcontinent colliding into Asia, (relatively) quiet Sonoma Mountain came from fiery, volcanic origins&off the floor of the Pacific- http://www.pressdemocrat.com/lifestyle/6226875-181/glowing-lava-hot-ash-create?sba=AAS&artslide=0 In a strange coincidence, oceanic fossils can be found on Sonoma Mountain, just like on the majestic heights of Everest. While the Yeti may be mythical, the goodness of Yeti restaurant is all real. One of the best mattar paneer in the Bay Area, with a spectacular, serene view. read more

AMBIANCE The Tibetan flags strung outside amidst the lights on the trees make me so happy already. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is warm and inviting, and the small amounts of tables show that this restaurant likes to maintain its intimacy. The food looks like comfort food and it tastes the way it looks. Everything was delicious and we could have have ended a day of wine tasting in Sonoma better. MOMOS We got both chicken and vegetarian. The vegetarian is delicious but is a bit more bland than the chicken. The chicken had great flavor and the green sauce to dip is amazing. I poured it on everything. VEGETARIAN CURRY The curry is so good. It had a slight spicy kick to it and the vegetables were also very good. I mostly ate this as a dip for the naan. NAAN Wow. The simple garlic naan is ridiculously large and delicious. LENTIL SOUP Very good. I ate this more than the other soup because i love lentil, but it is not the best I've ever had. The lentil is more grainy than pureed. NEPALESE HOT SPICY SOUP Very good as well but it is not very spicy at all. The flavors are delicious though. My friends devoured it before i got much! SHRIMP APPETIZER I am not sure what the name is, but it was on the appetizer menu with the momo. Breaded shrimp. It was really nicely flavored. LASSI Mango lassi is really good. CHAI TEA I didn't like this much. It was good but it was not the chai i tasted in Nepal by any means. It tasted like it came from powder at starbucks, so pass on this drink and try the beer or lassi instead! read more

Yeti came close to hitting a grand slam tonight, but ended up leaving the bases loaded with only 1 run scored to tie the game in the 9th. I will go back to give them another chance in the future (extra innings), but they blew their opportunity for the walk off win. A $25 gift certificate brought us in, and we were required to spend $40 for it to be honored... after having occasionally dined at their other restaurant in town (Himalaya), we had heard good things about this place and made the 20 minute drive to get there. We ordered the Eggplant and potato masala, Vegetable curry, Kashmiri Pulao, Garlic cilantro naan, mango chutney and indian pickles. Eggplant and potato masala: Delicious, and best dish we had. The eggplant was perfect. Veg curry: Pretty standard, but veggies seemed high quality and flavors were nice. Kashmiri Pulao: A disappointment as it wasn't pulao, but was a rice dish acting as pulao. Pulao is supposed to be made from rice, but beaten first. They just used regular grain rice... I just got back from India, and was excited for real pulao. The naan was tasty, but was lacking in garlic. Beautiful presentation however. Mango chutney: Kind of watery, nothing impressive. Indian pickles: Authentic, though a bit soft in spicing. Overall enjoyable. The food would have earned them 4, possibly even 5 stars tonight... but the following happened: All of our food arrived, except for our naan. Naan is very important with Indian food, as you use it to eat everything else on your plate when eating traditionally. We ate about half our food somewhat frustrated, but finally put down our forks and waited. They obviously forgot to put the order in for our naan's. Ten minutes later or so, our waitress showed up with 1 naan instead of the 2 that we had ordered. Our food was cold by this point. She didn't apologize, wouldn't admit to forgetting to order it, and didn't comp it on our bill later. All she could do was offer to order the 2nd naan that she forgot, which we declined. What a bummer. Then on our bill they tried to over charge us for the chutney and pickle, and we had to point out the correct prices on the menu (this however is very authentic India so no stars lost), and then our waitress left our bill with my credit card waiting in it on our table for 10 minutes before collecting it to run our card so we could leave. After talking to my parents later in the evening, I found out the last time they dined at Yeti their server also forgot their Naan. read more

A long, long, long, time ago, there was a restaurant in Cupertino called Kathmandu. They had the most amazing momos. My friends and I were so very sad when they closed. Since then, I've been searching for an Authentic Nepalese Restaurant in San Jose area. I was in Glen Ellen and searched for a place to have dinner. The Yeti Restaurant was nearby and after a day of debauchery eating Italian food, cheese and wine tasting, Nepalese cuisine whetted my appetite. I know they'd have momos and hope it would be as good as the ones I had at Kathmandu. The place was packed and delicious scent wafted in the air. The decor was charming - authentic and romantic. The servers are friendly and welcoming. Hubby and I were seated at the corner table - having the perfect vantage point to view the kitchen and the restaurant. We ordered the veggie momos, plain naan, Palau rice, and tandoori mixed sampler. When the momos came, I was giddy as a child. It looks exactly like the ones I used to have - even the condiments was as I remembered. The naan was a huge, fluffy, crispy on the outside and pillowy soft in the inside. The sizzling plate of mixed tandoori sampler (shrimp, fish, chicken, and lamb) was portioned for 2-3 persons. The pot was filled with delicious and fluffy rice. While we were waiting for dessert, Chef Narayan asked how everything was. We told him it was delicious. I told him how happy I was with the momos and how it reminded me of a Nepalese restaurant I used to go to in Cupertino. He smiled and said, "Kathmandu?" I smiled and said , "yes!" He smiled and told me he was a chef at Katmandu! OMG!! What a heavenly coincidence!!! We chatted for a while and I am so very happy I found the Yeti Restaurant. It was a pleasure to meet the chef, to eat authentic Nepalese cuisine, and to be a guest of such warm staff. The naan, Palau rice, mixed tandoori sampler, momos, and rice pudding for dinner cost me under $50. By the way, The Yeti Restaurant is Michelin rated. Chef Narayan is a friendly chef with the accolades to back-up his cuisine. If you are in the area, come try out this place! read more

You people are trippin if you are giving this place 4 or 5 stars! You can get better simply by going to santa rosa. I am from the east bay and eat good indian food all the time, so needless to say, i wasn't havin' any of it. First of all, it is expensive as hell. I don't mind paying more for Indian food as long as its worth it. The fact of the matter is that I accustomed to paying a third of the price for food that is three times better. Samosas - bland. Skins were thick and chewy.....i hate that momos - bland. skins were thick and chewy. naan - really good, although it cost almost $4. It was not THAT good. chicken tikka masala - the sauce was pretty good (not the best) and the chicken was overcooked. service: adequate. Nothing memorable. All in all, I would not recommend this place. If you find yourself in Glen Ellen, and you just HAVE to get some Indian Food, then by all means, come here since there is no other game in town. I would simply eat it in santa rosa, or, in my case, wait until i get back to the east bay. read more

My wife and I had an amazing dining experience here. We decided to pick this restaurant since it stood out from the rest and a unique one to find in wine region. At the same time, my wife and I haven't had a Nepalese cuisine since the close of Kathmandu in Cupertino Ca more than 10 years ago. We ordered the momos a traditional Nepalese potsticker, a combination tandoori platter and a side of rice and Naan bread. The food is great, full of flavor but not too overwhelming. As we finishing up our dinner, the Chef starts having conversation with us. We had complimented him about the food and restaurant. To our delight we've discovered that he was the acclaimed chef of the restaurant Kathmandu. We're very ecstatic. Chef Narayan offered us coffee and dessert which made an awesome dining experience. Day's like this is rare to attached heavy descriptive word. This is beyond enchantment. read more

The service was not great! We were never asked how the food was or how we were doing and the server only made the bare minimum effort to appear at our table. The food was somewhat good, we had chicken momo, chicken 65, baigan bharta, and naan. The sauce for the momo was very watery and too spicy. read more

Love this place. Great Nepalese food with very good service and a beautiful venue. Super nice outdoor patio dining area, which is especially enchanting at night. read more

Amazing food. The smell When you walk in is to die for. Very fresh and very tasty. Nice owners too which is a plus. Nice to support good people that do good work. read more

Their garlic naan and rack of lamb is all you need!! The naan is huge and so fluffy. If you go with someone else, you might have to order two :) read more

I live quite far from this place, but I'm hooked. Will be back JUST for this restaurant. The food is unbelievable. I've never had anything better. The flavor of each dish is indescribable. You must experience for yourself. You will not be disappointed. read more

Yeti Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Glen Ellen, California

The Creekside setting is delightful. However the food is not. Truly awful huge doughy dosa, all dishes muddy flavors as if from steam tables though likely not. Such an opportunity missed for a lovely restaurant re setting. read more

After seeing the rave reviews, I was actually disappointed at Yeti. We ordered the chicken momos and saag gosht (lamb with spinach curry), along with house made roti. The sauces paired with the momos felt bizarre (cilantro and tamarind chutney), something more that I would expect with a samosa or other Indian appetizer. Just felt like something was missing. The lamb was fresh and good quality, but was lacking in flavor compared to other gosht dishes I've had. However, atmosphere was lovely and I can see why it would be a fun place to hang out for an outdoor meal. We might just be spoiled with Indian food down in the South Bay! read more

Been taking family here for about 15 years when we discovered it . Tandoori chicken and garlic and cilantro Nhan bread with the salad and honey mustard is what I always order . Cozy inside I'm the winter and in summer the outdoor patio makes me feel like I am on vacation far away from Sonoma. read more

Yeti Restaurant - Chicken Momo - Plain Naan or Buttered Naan- Himalayan Pepper Pot Soup - Indian Near Me - Glen Ellen, California

Food- 4 Service- 3 Ambiance- 5 To start off, this is the first Indian restaurant that doesn't have curry come with rice... so we ordered rice. I wonder if a lot of people are just slurping their curry so they stop serving rice. We also ordered the garlic naan which was very good and big. We ordered lamb saag at mild spice. We also ordered chicken curry at spicy level. The chicken curry was indeed spicy. It made me sweat. I was impressed that they actually made their food spicy. It was good. The saag came out and we were confused. It was basically curry with full spinach pieces in there. It wasn't the usual green creamy saag. That was the first time we had saag like that. I still don't know if we got the right order but there was spinach so maybe. The curry is pretty pricey especially since you have to order rice on top of that. Portions are small. Service was okay. Everything was okay. I wouldn't come back for those items except the naan. read more

A surprisingly good Indian restaurant with Really good service. The chicken tikka was really good and Aloo gobi was well made. You wouldn't expect this quality given the location but the service was also really good. I always think it's a good sign when your waiter tells you that you ordered too much, they have your best interest in mind. Great meal, would come again. read more

Omg the lamb shank was delicious and the serving is huge. Momos are delicious and so was saag paneer. Service great highly recommended!

Disappointing! Yeti used to be one of our favorite places to eat. This is the second time the food has been virtually tasteless. The naan is still fabulous. read more

AMAZING & DELICIOUS! This place is a gem that I did not expect in Glen Ellen! Yeti was recommended by the Staff at Olea Hotel in Glen Ellen & The Best Day Spa in Santa Rosa. My Honey is Indian and he was also very impressed with the food here. We arrived at 7pm (with reservations) and this place was packed. You need to make reservation on weekends. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan ( which was huge), Roti, Rice, and Samosas (very dry). I got the Mango Lassie which was very refreshing and he got the King Indian Beer. The food and drinks were so delicious! We ate everything. No leftovers! My mouth is watering and craving Yeti as I write this. The only thing we will not order again is the Samosas. We both highly recommend you make reservations and eat here if your in or our around Glen Ellen. You definitely get your moneys worth. We will be back. read more

This spot was RAD. Went here for a belated birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. Had the garlic naan, matar paneer, shrimp curry, rice, and vegetable momos. Oh my gosh it was all freaking delicious. I am salivating thinking about it. The interior was funky in a good way. Shaking lantern lights, bright colors, different levels with tables and seating that added to structural intrigue. And outside you can hear the creek flowing past the restaurant. I want to go back already! read more
