    I honestly really enjoyed our meal here! The table ordered a variety of items off the menu and everyone really enjoyed their food! We sat outdoors and they had a lazy Susan in the middle of the table of family style dinner which was great. I tried the Yak Dumplings 10/10 Ordered the Yak Briyanni 10/10 The Yak Briyani takes a while to make but it's so worth it!!! You can literally share it with at least 4-5 people. It's more rice than Yak, but still really goooood! I would totally get it again!! I can't wait to go back. The only downside was the bar. If you're looking for a spot to have drinks they don't really have great alcoholic drink options here. Great spot for large groups and there's a parking garage nearby. The staff were great! I believe it's Nepalese food I think

    We had a good Saturday night dinner at Himalayan Wild Yak. Service was good and so was the food. Our order was a compromise given the mix of people, so I expect another visit to be even better. Their momos were yummy, with the chicken ones being somewhat spicy compared to the yak momos. The Tandoor salmon was tasty, but overcooked. The chow mein with yak meat tasted really good, but the yak was overcooked and chewy, almost like a jerky. The cauliflower curry was quite tasty and a reasonable spice level, with the only drawback being more potatoes than cauliflower in it. We each tried different teas - my light green tea (Gyurogo?) smelled and tasted good, but was clearly not worth seven dollars...

    Love this place especially their Mutton biryani! I would definitely say, this is the best one in nova area. And the pickle they serve it with, is delish! Awesome service and nice ambience!

    Since this place opened we've been curious to try since we've never had this type of cuisine. We decided to try this time to finally satisfy our curiosity and sorry to say it's not our thing. We ordered two items to go so cant speak to ambiance or service. Got the Chicken momo with chutney and the Yak short ribs. The chicken momo does not come with chutney but we got it for an extra charge. Glad we did because without the chutney these dumplings are just plain old chicken dumplings. Was so excited to try the yak short ribs but upon opening it up there was a really bad smell. I imagine it must be comparable to boar taint in pork. This is our first time eating yak so I don't know if there should be a smell or not but it was horrendous. We could only eat the rice and felt bad the meat went to waste. The two items we got totaled over $40.

    Food is very delicious, highly recommend Momo Yak and Biryani Yak, can't wait to go back again.

    Great Nepalese cuisine with excellent service and a pleasant ambiance. The food was delicious and well prepared. I went with a Nepalese friend, and they confirmed that the flavors are authentic. The biryani was especially good--rich, spicy, and very satisfying. Overall, a great dining experience.

    I only did a quick drop in to eat some of my friend's food while they were dining in ---and what I had was absolutely delicious! The portions were nice and the food was flavorful. They have committed fully to their theme of the wild yak and it makes for interesting decor as well. The service was friendly and helpful, as they were supportive in us joining our friends to help finish up their food. I do plan to return the next time I'm in the area to try my own meal! The yak biriyani and the chicken kabob were highlights this time around!

    Menu. They have a happy hour food menu.

    Himalayan food you say? Come to Himalayan Wild Yak at the Brambleton town center. Delicious food with a little kick. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a few drinks and different plates. The service was great and the food came out quickly and delicious. When you walk in, yo you're right is the bar and to the left is the restaurant. We had the wild boar, samosa chat, chicken sekuwa and the roasted potatoes. Loved each as they had a delicious blend of spices and were cooked just right. Come and enjoy! Would recommend.

    Lamb Saag

    The ambiance, service and Food was great! We were here on 2/14 and were expecting slow service but that did not occur. We had a reservation and only waited may be 10 minutes before we got seated. We knew exactly what we wanted to order and placed it right away. the food came out timely and food was served hot, like we wanted. Would definitely recommend Himalayan Wild Yak as we've been coming here many times.

    Did not have eating yak on my bingo card for my visit to VA. Damn it's great! We had the yak dumplings, I think called momo (so tasty and packed a flavor punch) and a few set meals of yak and lamb curries with veggies and dal. Also had butter chicken (EXCELLENT) and nan bread. Everything was delicious. The service was exceptionally DELIGHTFUL. It's a big lively fun place that I hear is usually slammed busy. Pretty mellow last night and we had a great time.

    This was a super fun and unique dining experience and the food was exceptional. Highly recommend the yak momo and yak korma. Wild boar was also fun to try and very well seasoned! They also have amazing mango lassi. The location and ambience are a little underwhelming but I hope they do well!

Neither my husband or I had ever had Indian food and never Himalayan but we were open to something new. My first visit was of course the immaculate bathroom, and then we were seated and looked over the menu. We were so happy our choices were so delicious. I had the cucumber salad and chicken jalfrezi (mild) and my husband had the shrimp vindaloo medium spice. Not only were our choices great but the rice was unexpectedly light and favorable. I tried the garlic Naan bread which I had never had before, it was slightly crispy and delicious. The whole restaurant was immaculately clean and our server was knowledgeable, helpful, and gave us a lot of information about the food and the spices. This would be a great place for a party it's quite large and I can see it being a bridal shower, family reunion, birthday or old friends get together. It was really a terrific place and I can now say I like Himalayan food!! Sue Frick, Jersey Shore

I had to get the Chili Chicken Momo for my visit. The spice level here was pretty high for me, and I do well with spice. But that didn't stop me from eating the delicious Momo's. The Momo casing wasn't too thick or thin and the filling inside was pretty good. Flavorful and cooked just right. I also had their fried chicken here as well (From Krispy Crunchy Chicken). The chicken was really good. Super juicy and tender. Seasoning was actually on both the inside and outside of the chicken, so it was really flavorful. Service was good. Staff were friendly and the food came out within a reasonable time. Since this is in a gas station, there is somewhat limited seating. So I've seen mostly take-away orders coming out of here. Overall, 4/5. Great tasting Momo's and the Fried Chicken is definitely highly recommended as well.

I've been eating here since Royal Nepal opened and was under different management. I've even dined at both the original (Brambleton, VA) and Arlington locations of Himalayan Wild Yak, a spin-off of sorts by two of the original owners. Both of these restaurants deserve your patronage as well when you're in either Arlington or out by Dulles. They are all great. The difference that Royal Nepal brings to the "table" is simple. They never lost that neighborhood feel and they don't take their patrons for granted. With a location down the block from the Birchmere and nestled in the up and coming Arlandria neighborhood of Alexandria, they project both a hometown restaurant feel as well as an adventurous vibe - have you ever eaten yak? The staff are real gems and the ambiance is a real treat from the "pickled veggies" on the window shelves down to the handmade Nepali napkins, this place is a virtual travelog. I can only say explore their menu and you're sure to find a treasure right here in the neighborhood.
