In the heart of the world’s most culturally diverse neighborhood, you’ll find the Himalayan Yak Restaurant. We specialize in truly authentic cuisine from some of the countries that the vast mountain range touches. We were the first Nepali restaurant in New York and are one of the oldest running Himalayan fusion restaurants in the city! Enjoy a traditional Nepali dish like Daal Bhat Tarkari with rice, lentil soup, and vegetables, or something a little more adventurous like Gyuma -- our homemade Tibetan-style sausage filled with beef blood. Whatever you try, you can be sure that you’ll experience delicious traditional meals as diverse as the nations that span the Himalayas.

Our exotic cuisine and cozy ambience make us a true hidden gem in the Jackson Heights area. Stop by during the week for our incredible lunch specials or explore our weekend buffet. On weekend evenings, grab a drink from our full bar while you enjoy classical and modern music from Nepal, Tibet, and India performed by a live band. Are you in the neighborhood but looking to have a quiet night at home? Take advantage of our free delivery!

After just one visit, you’ll understand why the Village Voice has named us the “Best Tibetan Restaurant”. The Himalayan Yak is a home away from home for local Himalayans and a treat for all!
