I'm a huge fan of veggie momocha. Since college I've been addicted and my favorite have always been Himal Chuli in Madison. I've loved some in wine country in California and in Bloomington, IN. I've enjoyed other dishes a lot from the cheel, but their momocha weren't my style. No others in Wisconsin have quite hit it.
At Himalayan Yak, I've found a new local favorite - their veggie momo are on the spicy side, but the flavors are multi-layered and complex.
We visited at 3 on a Saturday, shortly after the lunch buffet ended. We had the place mainly to ourselves as a consequence. The space is large and bright and open. Service was great.
BF enjoyed his Sahi Korma from the Indian menu. It rivaled any place in town for lamb.
My mother enjoyed her Madras, coconut lamb curry as well, but found it a little salty. We're salt forward people, but I'd agree that all the dishes were on the edge of being over salted.
We all ordered our dishes medium hot, which was plenty for me - not too hot, but it built up over time. There could have been more rice - we all had left over curry to bring home.
I had the Chyau Ko Tarkari from the Nepalese part of the menu and it was amazing - nuanced and multi-layered and all the vegetables still had great texture. Amazing mushroom curry.
We ordered Poori - light, puffy and excellent. Mom had a salt lassi. There are non-alcoholic drinks on offer as well as wine and beer.
I will be getting those veggie momo often and enthusiastically. Try this place! read more
