I highly recommend Himalayan Yeti for Indian food. I have tried both their lunch buffet and their dinner service, and while their lunch buffet is yummy and I personally feel a good value for their price, the dinner is overall better. I think this is because it's made to order and is thus fresher. There are a large variety of options available at their lunch buffet, but I still feel that the dinner is a better value as food is fresher. I feel the restaurant is very clean and staff are unobtrusive but kind the ambience is that of a typical takeaway restaurant; shabby but clean. Himalayan Yeti is my favorite Indian food in St. Louis! read more

Finally an Indian buffet after covid!!! It's amazing to me that some restaurants have refused to change back to what made them popular in the first place. Indian food is just one of those food genres that works perfectly buffet style. It's rich, so i don't need a ton of one particular thing and the way that different dishes all complement one another is simply magical to my palate. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the buffet! On to the food. The food is absolutely perfect! The pakoras were decadent, tandoori chicken was succulent, and the chicken curry was perfectly spiced. Not a single negative about my first Yeti experience. Restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, wait staff was accommodating and welcoming. Couldn't ask for anything more, I was there Monday and I am ready to go back today, Friday! Yeti you have an official regular. read more

Himalayan Yeti - Buffet - Indian Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

My husband and I tried Himalayan Yeti to go for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The food was good overall, but I was underwhelmed by the chicken tikka masala - it almost tasted sweet and had virtually no spice in it (this could be a result of online ordering?). I would be eager to go in person and try more of their menu. However, our lamb Khorma was quite tasty. The strawberry lassi and garlic naan also were mid in my opinion, so I'd like to go in person and see if that changes anything. read more

The lunch buffet was stocked with traditional favorites - tikka masala, paneer saag, naan, tandoori chicken. It also boasted goat curry, noodles and a wide variety of sauces and chutneys. Complementary hot chai paired nicely for dessert with rice pudding and gulab jamun. Flavors of every dish were lovely, staff was quick to refill water and remove used plates. A solid lunch buffet! read more

I loved this place but, unfortunately, I will not be eating here again. I ordered from DoorDash and the chicken korma had a large piece of wood in it. Other than this I have no complaints. I just don't know how a chunk of wood wasn't noticed to be missing. The wood is clean because I washed it off to make sure it wasn't a bone or something. I didn't check the rest of the batch to see if there was more. Edit: I keep adding the picture and then it is deleted. Idk why read more

Came for lunch buffet and it was good! Good variety of foods and delicious flavors with tender meat options. Price was good, though the only thing I might complain about is that the bhatura was hard possibly from sitting out. Otherwise the experience was great. read more

Himalayan Yeti - Lunch Buffet - Indian Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I have to write a review because they truly went above and beyond on our DoorDash order last night. We ordered the Chicken Chili appetizer, Navratan Korma, Paneer Tikka Masala, and cheese garlic Naan. My boyfriend is gluten-free, so we noted that at well. (The Naan was strictly for me.) We received a call from Himalayan yeti shortly after, confirming whether we knew the Chili Chicken and Naan had gluten in it. Obviously we knew about the Naan, but it was really nice they gave us a heads up about the Chili Chicken app. We switched it to the Lamb Choila instead. Everything was delicious and we'll definitely be ordering from there again soon. So disappointed, I forgot to take pictures of our food, but it was all spectacular! read more

Decent food, good service and very reasonably priced. Vegetable Momo (6 pieces) $7 - Would order again, these are like a cross between samosa and dumplings. You can get them steamed or fried, and the dipping sauce complimented them very well. Butter Chicken $15.50 - The sauce was more tomatoey than others I have had. It comes with a side of basmati rice, which was a bit dry. Bhindi Masala $13 - This okra dish is not as flavorful as I would like, but still tasty. Kheer $3.50 - Ok rice pudding. Gulab Jamun (3 pieces) $4 - This dessert is great if you're looking for that sugar rush. Similar to others I have tried, basically donut holes covered in syrup. Saw a sign for lunch buffet Mon-Fri $16 and Sat & Sun $18. As an added bonus, this restaurant is located right by the Greetings from St. Louis mural if you are looking for a photo op. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024 read more

Don't let the outside fool you, this place is solid!! The service is very friendly and quick to seat you and get you your drinks. The ambiance is welcoming but the inside could use a refresh (but let's be honest, the food is so good it doesn't matter). I opted for the buffet, which was a surprise to me that they had it. I tried everything on the menu and I didn't find a single thing I didn't like! The tikka, saag, chili chicken, all of it was great! My wife opted to order butter chicken and it was a delight also. This place is a must try if you are in the area. read more

Moved to St Louis a year ago and have been looking for a great Indian restaurant in the greater metropolitan area. Himalayan Yeti was our first attempt, and although it was good, we're still looking for the next level. The tandoori chicken was a bit dry and not as flavorful as we're used to. The riata and garlic naan was very very good. The masala sauce that the server brought over was also very good. The service was friendly, so, we'll be back to try their butter chicken and chicken masala. read more

Some interesting Nepalese dishes not seen in the area before such as Momo which were delicious. Main course consisted was the Aloo Saag which was very tasty. read more

I loved this cozy family-run restaurant in the North Hampton neigborhood. We had very nice dinner on a Thursday night. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. Our party of four shared Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Baigan Bharta, and Roasted Tiger Prawn. We ordered medium spice, and for me that was perfect, but spicier than I normally would consider "medium". The Tikka Masala and Saag Paneer were flavorful and consistent with my expectations. I especially enjoyed the Baigan Bharta as this is a dish that I don't normally order. It is a popular North Indian dish, and is mash of fire-roasted eggplant, onions, tomatoes, herbs and spices. Very delicious. The Roasted Tiger Prawn were also memorable. The generious serving of seasoned shrimp are served sizzling on a skillet like tandori chicken straight off the grill. Very tasty. This was plenty of food for our party, and we were able to enjoy leftovers the next day. read more

Himalayan Yeti - Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I love a good Indian buffet! My friend and I wanted to try somewhere new for lunch and Himalayan Yeti checked all of the boxes. It is a cozy atmosphere, but has plenty of room. We got the lunch buffet and everything was so good! Since it was a buffet, the service was quick too. The chicken tikka masala, chicken korma, battura, and veggie pakora were my favorites. Sometimes I just want warm, comforting Indian food and to try a bit of everything, so this was perfect. read more

I thought the food here was delicious! The service though, was a bit slow. And the building and atmosphere was lacking. I don't expect every restaurant to be have spectacular appointments, but this place is pretty rough around the edges. So, not even "nice." Would definitely eat here again just for the great flavors. read more

No wait time. And very chill. Had a random craving again and they didn't let me down last time, so I came back. This time I got Chicken Tikka Masala, but I also wanted to try something new. I tried the Keema Naan, which is naan stuffed with chicken. I also so the table next to me with a tall bottle of beer, so I asked them if it's good and they said yes (they also offered me a sip but i trusted their judgement and ordered one for myself!) Was a good meal. read more

Wow! First time..definitely not our last!! Ordered delivery via Door Dash - everything arrived hot, fresh and delicious. Perfectly seasoned.

The food is wonderful and nutritious. Employees are quick to respond and proactive however if you want the tip to go to the worker you you must put it in their hands directly or the greedy management will take it. read more

My husband loves Indian food so we took him for a bday lunch on Saturday. We had the lunch buffet and a couple Taj Mahal beers. The food was great, the servers were attentive and the atmosphere was just right. Everyone in our party is anticipating our return. 100% recommend! read more

Yum! That sums up my experience. There is parking around the building. The building is a prior fast food restaurant turned into this Indian spot. The inside has some nice photos and the service is quick. We were seated quickly and the servers were friendly. The food is really good, I enjoyed the veggie samosa which had a little kick. My chicken tikka masala was spiced medium and I could add some more spice but the flavor was there and there were lots of chicken chunks (no hunting for chicken in the sauce) and the garlic naan was really good and on the thicker side which I liked. We will definitely come back and try some different items. read more

Every time I drive on Kingshighway, this place reminds me I have tried it...until now! The staff and food is warm and feels like a comfort especially on winter nights. We scarfed down the chickpea bread and dips they gave us when we sat down. The green sauce is herby with a light kick, while the brown sauce is sweet. When you order, you get the option of spice levels 1-5. I got the Butter Chicken at a spice level of 1, which was creamy and light with the nice balance of tomato. For those that don't like spice definitely get the 1; it was a nice kick but not overpowering. My boyfriend got the Chicken Curry at a spice level of 2. His dish had more vegetables in it to add complexity to the dish. Honestly, I thought the star of the show was the rice. It compliments both dishes with its light and bite of texture. read more

This is my new favorite place for Indian food. We came here with our adult kid who lives close to the place and gets carryout. They recommended we dine in here together. Food and service were great. Enjoyed the atmosphere too. Ample parking on their lot. Two of us had Flying Horse beer and one had a wine. Decent selection and good. Free Papadum with a spicy sauce came for the table. Very crispy, peppery and tasty. My new fave appetizer now is Chicken Momo, a ground chicken filling inside a dumpling. which I'd never heard of and had to try. we selected the fried version, but steamed is an option. We all loved it, and will definitely order it regularly. Can also be had as an entree, and there's also a vegetable option. Samosas were also very fine with their delicious sauces. For entree, I had the Chicken Biryani, always a favorite dish. Others had a korma and a Shrimp Curry. Server asked how we would prefer the level of heat from 1-5. Everything was seasoned perfectly. In all, the three of us really enjoyed our meal and everything about Himalayan Yeti and will definitely return. And reasonably priced for the times. read more

The ladies that do serve here are the most well mannered service staff I have ever had the pleasure of being served by.

This place is a casual, never wait spot for solid Indian food. I've had the buffet which I found to be pretty good - some hits and some misses. But the hits include the important things like garlic naan and saag paneer. Recently my partner and I tried out the heat (1-5) scale and found that 4 (extra hot) is REALLY hot for something light like the vindaloo but just right for creamier dishes like butter chicken. Whatever your spice preference, this is one of the only Indian places in the region that still has a buffet after COVID and it's on the weekends! read more

We got delicious take out from Himalayan Yeti. We ordered veggie samosas, butter chicken, aloo saag and garlic cheese naan. Our food was ready to go right when they said it would be which was great! The veggie samosas were surprisingly one of my favorite things. They came with two dipping sauces - one more sweet and one more spicy. The outside was crispy and the filling had delicious flavor and spices. I wish it came with more than 2 because I could eat a bunch of them. The butter chicken had the most delicious sauce. It was great with the chicken and I was glad I had naan to soak it all up. Both entrees came with a lot of rice as well so there were lots of ways to eat everything. My only problem with the food was a few pieces of the chicken were gristly. You couldn't really tell until you were biting in since it was covered in sauce which made for some unpleasant bites. The sauce was good enough that we still ate the rest of the chicken but I wish all tasted consistently good. The cheesy garlic naan was so good. It was over the top garlicky (which I love), and had a good cheese pull. It came with 2 good sized pieces. We loved dipping it in sauce, and using pieces to stuff with rice and butter chicken or rice and aloo saag. There's so many options on this menu, well definitely be back to try more! read more

My daughter asked if we could get Indian food and the Himalayan yeti less than a mile from my home. I certainly would recommend it as I have tried them several times. We got the Momo chicken dumplings which was outstanding. Surprisingly she chose the steamed dumplings rather than the fried. The dumplings themselves were succulent and and had a little bit of chew, but I did not care much for the dipping sauce did not have a lot of spice and was rather bland. The butter chicken was tasty and the vegetable korma was also outstanding. We got both of them at the medium spice level, which had a decent amount of heat, but was not overwhelming. We also tried the garlic naan which was a tad bit crispy, but had great flavor. The Basmati rice was cooked to an al dente level that went well with our dishes. Service was prepped and they were very kind and sweet. Overall, it was an outstanding meal. read more
