This is by far the best Indian food. My husband said it reminds him of his moms cooking. I agree! The lunch specials are awesome. You get a lot for the money. Try the samosas. They are delicious! Great service with a smile :-) We will definitely dine at Yeti a Restaurant again. Two thumbs up! read more

Yeti Restaurant - Lunch special. Chicken saag. Delicious! - Indian Near Me - Davis, California

Has nice outdoor seating but there were flies everywhere. I mean everywhere I was swishing them away the whole meal. The food was very very average at best. The garlic naan was very plain tasting and was pretty much white bread with garlic piled on top. The tandoori chicken isn't vary savory and it is served in a hot plate with cabbage and other lame vegetables. All together very very bland. Minus the flies I'm probably going to forget I ever went to this place by tomorrow. On a side note the owner is very kind. read more

Yeti Restaurant - Tandoori Chicken - Indian Near Me - Davis, California

Order some food to go The potato and cauliflower had no flavor , Garlic naan was thin very disappointed I looked up Indian food because I love the spices they have was very disappointed read more

Somewhat disappointing. Ordered 2 chicken and one vegetable curry dishes, tandoori chicken , aloo and cauliflower dish, naan, samosas. Food taste was good but each dish was skimpy with lots of gravy but not much chicken or vegetables. Pricy for the serving size. We will try another Indian restaurant in the future. read more

Terrible! I ordered to go from this place. First and surely my last time... food was cold. Chicken kebab undercooked and vegetables were rotting even had mold in a green pepper, and the lemon was brown in the outside! read more

Yeti Restaurant - Mold growing on a rotting pepper and a brown lemon given to me in my take out food! - Indian Near Me - Davis, California

Small and attractive. Outside seating. Located in the center of old downtown. Typical college town vibe. Ordered both the chicken tika kabob and the lamb tiki kabob. The lamb was outstanding the chicken inedible. Chicken tough as shoe leather. No seasoning and they used cabbage instead of onions. I have eaten this same dish throughout the US, Canada and Australia and I have never had it served with cabbage. read more

NOTE: My baseline for 5 stars are French Landry, Gary Danko, Vik's Chaat, Per Se, Peter Lugar's, Nobu-Malibu, Binions_Vegas, and Bern's Steakhouse. I am a Desi. I have been to this place over a dozen times over the past 4 years. The goto place for Chicken Tikka 'fix'. The food is spicy. Mild is medium, medium is very spicy, and spicy is hot sauce 'hot'. The Dumplings are good. The tandoori is good. The Biryani(s) is just a a pilao. The Nann is pretty good. For lunch buffet goto Preethi. For a date goto Khatmandu, for Chicken Tikka go here. Service and people are nice, which one reason I go out to eat rather than stay at home and cook. read more

I've been here a few times... And every time they've had misleading coupons. They have one right now for 15% off your purchase and no where did it say in any fine print that you need to spend a minimum of $20-- false advertisement. The other times we went they had mango lassi specials and said they aren't doing it anymore-- but still had the sign up for it. And even though all the misleading deals were their own fault they still didn't comply. So don't believe any coupons from them!!! Also, their food is very overpriced. If you want very good Indian food and are willing to drive 10-15 mins go to Shalimar!!! Their food is 50% cheaper and you get so much more!!!! Or even locally namaste Nepal is better. Customer service here sucks, like I said I've been a few times and so have a lot of my Indian friends their always rude and super slow. Ahhh the worst part--- the tables are horrible!!! They are like super glue sticky, it's disgusting! And the utensils are always not washed properly and they stick to the table. So does the menu and my arms... Everything sticks! It's better to go to Dixon punjabi dhaba or shalimar at least you get your money's worth. Also the chicken does not taste good it tastes like plastic. read more

I got the saag chicken lunch special and everything in it was pretty good. It came with the following: an embarrassing excuse for a starter salad (which wasn't even worth eating), a Nepalese potato salad (which wasn't my favorite but I'm sure some people like it), a garbanzo bean curry (good flavor a but the beans were a bit undercooked), a tandoori chicken leg (yum), a daal soup (outstanding), and the saag chicken. The saag chicken dish was yummy but not what I expected. I figured it would be like traditional saag paneer but with chicken instead of paneer. Rather than the creamy puréed spinach dish I expected, it had whole spinach leaves in it and a lot of filler ingredients like tomato and something else that I thought might be garbanzo. The chicken was cooked well. The service was alright, but I was bothered that the manager told the waitress that I wasn't allowed to order saag paneer on the lunch special, even though they had both saag and paneer items listed on the lunch menu (how hard could it be to throw the paneer in rather than chicken?). Overall, I think it's a great deal for only $8. I give this place about 3.5 stars, but I'll round up because the price is so good for Indian food. read more

Yeti Restaurant - Saag Chicken Lunch Special - Indian Near Me - Davis, California

See all

The food ranged from bad to mediocre. We ordered the chicken vindaloo and the chicken korma thali. The korma was ok, but not fresh. It tasted like it was from a package. The vindaloo was bland and sweet, similar to the sauce in a can of Spaghettios. The dal was like water. The naan was crispy, except where it was doughy. The dessert was sweet milk poured over a few bites of rice and a couple of cashews. The samosas were good. The service was good. read more

A humble, friendly family runs this place. Seriously, I've been in Davis for five years and this is still my favorite restaurant here. The Prawn Tikka Marsala is excellent, especially with some naan bread added in. Spicy food enthusiasts would be happy to know they will bring on the heat if you ask them. This food is the opposite of dull, so the unadventurous & homogeneous in taste might want to check somewhere else out! One thing I noticed is that their delivery service can be a bit iffy. It is almost as though they don't want to hire a delivery guy and rely on sending out one of their staff, leaving the restaurant short one person. Even the owner/main guy has swung by my place with the food. read more

My friends and I had a terrible experience here. The service was super slow and they brought only half of our food to us. And, the worst part was talking to the manager. He had no remorse about messing up our lunch and was trying to push us around. Definitely not recommended read more

Great food at a great price. This is my go to place in Davis for Indian food. You can also adjust your spice level on any dish. I get the extra spicy and my boyfriend gets a regular. Chicken masala and chicken vindaloo are the best. With naan bread of course. read more

Fantastic food! I've been to a few Nepalese places before and this place is, by far, the best. Everything is handmade (you can see them in the kitchen; I love that transparency) and the taste is fantastic. We ordered the vegetarian sampler appetizer, which I highly recommend, and several dishes. It is also great that they have so many vegan options; so often, American restaurants put cream in everything that resembles curry to mask poor ingredients and flavor profiles; not so here. Great service as well. Highly recommended. read more

Went to lunch with my friends and we had an awesome experience. I can't remember the name of our waiter but she was super nice and courteous. I ended up having to send my salad back as I didn't realize it was served with meat (I'm vegetarian). She was super sweet and made sure I wasn't charged and quickly got my new entree out. We will definitely be back! read more

Best Indian food in Davis. I've only been once, but everything was very good. I will be coming back for sure. Buttered naan, dal soup, and mattar paneer were all very flavorful. The staff were very attentive and friendly. read more

Excellent food! Great, attentive service. And large portions for the price. Will definitely be back! No complaints at all read more

Yeti Restaurant - Cute patio seating and delicious food - Indian Near Me - Davis, California

Came due to a recommendation from a local. Glad we did! Food was very tasty. Chicken tikka Masala and the eggplant/potato dish. Got the chicken with medium spice. Delicious!! Basil naan not over cooked and fabulous. I also got the chai tea and loved it! Don't expect a lot of ambience. Kind of like a diner. But the staff was pleasant and we didn't have a long wait on a Friday night. But definitely a return to place for us! read more

Food was tasty! But portions are small! Service was really slow... I went with a fried for first time. We were the only ones waiting to be seated and they just glanced at us and didn't even greet us. There were clearly many seats available. And after we ordered, we waited 40 minutes for our food and turns out to be smaller portions than we thought! Not a good first impression sadly. Maybe they had a glitch that day but I am willing to give second chances on service! Overall food is tasty. I liked the chicken curry! read more

Yeti Restaurant - Chicken curry! I made it look like rice was alot (I ate this in like 10 bites)? But still good. - Indian Near Me - Davis, California

Tried this place out for the first time and overall it was a great visit. My family and I were craving some Indian food and my sister had a coupon and recommended this place. We went on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. The samosas were very good and I love the chutneys it came with. Delicious mango lassi too! Everyone love their entrees! I ordered the saag paneer, as I love spinach. I enjoyed the flavors and it had just the right amount of spice. It came with Basmati rice. For $3.00 more, you get a small portion of lentil soup, the vegetable curry of the day, plain naan, and dessert. I went that route and I think it was worth it. We were pretty hungry, so nothing went to waste. I did like my sister's garlic basil naan better. Luckily she shared. The servers were attentive as well, so I definitely plan to return next time I'm in town. read more

Yeti Restaurant - Order of samosas! Big and tasty! And yummy sauces. - Indian Near Me - Davis, California

Ate lunch here while in town for the day. Great value! Had a thali plate with chicken saag, naan, a vegetarian side, soup and rice. I asked for raita and got a small side for free. I also enjoyed the potato samosa that came with the plate. Only complaint was that the saag was a tad salty and food could have been warmer, but overall a great lunch for cheap...only 7.99 for the whole thing. Too much to even finish! Will definitely go back if I'm in the area. read more

Last time I went the chicken was dry and overdone. It seems like their quality went down. More importantly, their card machine wasn't reading my card and the attitude was really weird like I was trying to cheat them. I offered to leave my son or bag and get the money from the bank nearby but the guy acted like I was trying to skip out and was just rude, so he ran my card through again and it went through. But the attitude is why I will not be going back. My son had done take out from there several times and to be treated like that pretty much put me off them. Very rude. I went to another place for dessert and it read my card w no problem. read more

My favorite restaurant to get Indian/ South Asian food in Davis. Had the Samosa Chaat, Mattar Paneer, Chicken Tikka, along with Naan to top it off. Tastes amazing and definitely hits the spot. It is a bit on the expensive side, but very worth it considering the quality of the food. read more

To be honest, I expected a lot better when I walked through the door. The interior decor was very Indian, but the tables and kitchen were not the best. They only had a single bathroom near this sketchy storage area, and the whole restaurant in general was really small, although they do have outdoor seating. What really threw me off edge was how slow the service was. There were literally just 2 groups in the restaurant (mine and this group of 4 who ordered well before we came). We had a hotel to get to and they took what felt like 1 hour to get the food ready. We got there around 8pm and I'm pretty sure we didn't leave before 9:30pm. I can't imagine what'll happen if there were to be a crowd. However, the food was very satisfying. My favorites were the bread basket, curry, and momos. If I were to come back, it'd solely be for the food. Even though it was good, this is definitely not an Indian restaurant i'd keep on my favorites list. read more

It was a day with my family, I still remember. And what actually we were looking for is the spicy Vegetarian Momos ( Tibetan Dumpling). Yeti Restaurant is something that fits our day taste. We arrived there around 7:00 in the evening and trust me it's really a busy evening there. At least expecting no place inside the restaurant but yes they made some table arrangements outside. It look so beautiful and feel chill too when expecting spicy Momos in such pleasant outside evening environment. I really like there menu and serving service but the only thing for which I give four star is that it's a managed restaurant even in the small space. Ohh coming back to topic Momos, something I miss in it is spicy taste and one important thing I notice is a oily flavor in Momos which I mean I am not at all expecting. Though everything is good but I hope a better flavor next time. read more

First - the ONLY reason this is a 4-star review instead of 5: teach your staff to stop calling people "sweetie" I love the food here, and you can't beat the value of the lunch special, which is a thali with plenty of options and sizeable portions for under $10. The mild paneer Tikka masala is truly mild, which is something I don't frequently find. The menu is expansive and the food tastes fresh and delicious. The atmosphere and location are perfectly fine, though I do love the way it is situated on a courtyard instead of the road. Definitely give it a try if you want Indian food. read more

Had lunch here. I ordered the chicken shwarma and the person I was with ordered a salad with chicken shwarma. The taste wasnt as flavorful as I expected but if you want a lot of chicken, the shwarma and salad had plenty. The restaurant is a converted home and there is only one bathroom so during one of their periodic rushes, you may think about going before you come here. Plenty of seating but the inside can be crowded depending on who's stopping in. read more

I've only been to Yeti a couple of times (infrequently), but it is one of my favorite places to eat in Davis. I usually only go on special occasions (my birthday last year) or whenever I'm wanting food that I know I will enjoy (in other words, not wanting to take risks elsewhere). On my most recent dinner visit with my boyfriend, we had the Vegetarian Couples Special and everything was really delicious! Not to mention, in great portions too! I think it came out to a little over $40 with tip, which I think was worth it considering how much food we got (we couldn't finish it, so I took it home). We had appetizers, entrees and a small dish for desert. I had it with their house white wine, which was okay. The paneer tikka masala was yummy and their garlic naan was made to perfection! Their service is really good. It's definitely part of the reason why I like to come here. They are attentive (sometimes overly so, but I don't mind) and polite. Like people have mentioned previously, there seems to be a language barrier, so it is kind of hard to get them to explain to you what you're eating if you're new to Indian/Nepalese food. All the times I have come, no matter what I order, the food has always been good. read more

I was really craving Indian food tonight so dragged my husband and baby to this place. We had vegetable pakora, chicken tikka masala, chicken taandori. and a plain naan. Pakora was not too flavorful but fine. The chicken in the tikka masala was really dry and tough but the sauce was very tasty. The best dish was the chicken taandori. It had little charred bits and a nice seasoning. But it is served on a beautiful sizzling iron plate which was full of iceberg salad that just cooked and was rather inedible. The service was nice, a little on the clueless side but decent. The wood tables are a bit sticky and need a good scrub down though. Paid around 40 bucks including the tip we is ok too. I am not sure yet whether I will come back or not. read more

I've been to all of the Indian places in Davis and this one falls in the middle for me. I'm picky because I grew up eating a lot of Indian food. I had a decent lamb curry here, and found the other accompaniments decent but nothing to write home about. Service was good. While I won't plan to come back myself I wouldnt say no to joining a friend. read more

The nan bread was so well done so naturally the MoMo dumplings and everything else fell in line. As in most places the bread signals whether they care (a truly great burger joint pays attention to its bread and doesn't serve bread that doesn't go bad after 7 weeks and is wrapped in plastic) the nan was super nice. I'm not even a nan connoisseur but it's like fried rice that done right: just the right amount of oil, not too much salt. They have proper takeout boxes too! So that the generous portions don't become your Achilles heel. Highly recommended read more

Great place for our conference group, everyone found something to enjoy and meet their needs. Variety of interesting dishes, and everything I tasted from the eggplant to the okra was full of flavor. read more

This little place has to work hard to stand out in the crowded restaurant scene in Davis. The menu serves traditional Indian cuisine with some Nepalese entrees as well. First you start with a beverage. A reasonable selection of Indian, Thai beers with at least one from Nepal. As with most things in this "college" town, service is low key but prompt. In our party of three, we had Chicken Tikka Marsala, Prawns in Basel sauce and Paneer Tikka Marsala. Two of us had ours a la carte which comes with either rice or naan bread. Our third decided to have it Thali style which means it comes with the rice, naan and a variety of small side dishes. Tip for ordering - make sure you specify your spice tolerance. I had mine medium which was perfect for me who loves putting Franks Red Hot Sauce on most things. All the expected flavors were there. Nothing exotic but nothing that was bland. Helpful service added to the enjoyment of this evenings meal. So, a solid 4 rating for both food and service. Nothing extraordinary but all very good. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to go downtown for Friday night and stumbled across Yeti. Courtyard seating was available and the restaurant was romantically light - so we decided to take a seat. We ate dinner, while a band played jazz music in the courtyard. The combination of good food and fun music created an amazing environment. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were perfect. We each ate chicken tikka masala with an order of garlic cilantro naan, which is the best naan I've ever had. I also really appreciated the service. The waiter was attentive and was very friendly. The only reason I decided to give Yeti four star instead of five was price. I would love if Yeti offered an affordable lunch buffet like other local Indian restaurants in Davis. Other than that, we loved our dinner and the restaurant. read more

I ordered lamb tikka masala. It tasted good. For drink I asked for mango lassi. It was so watery and not good at all. In addition, the food portion was less than other Indian restaurants. My rice bowl was also a lil bit dirty!!! A fried onion was stuck to it from the previous meal (?!) maybe. read more

This is one of my favorite Indian food places in Davis, CA. I ordered vegetable Pakoras, Vegetable platter, Naan, Chana Pindi, and Coconut Rice Pudding. Everything is flavorful and hot. I've eaten at the restaurant; it was packed but that only speaks to how good the food is and I've ordered Take-out, too. It was ready within the allotted time... so very quick. read more

My wife Kate and I stop here often for lunch, usually choosing the Chana Masala. The owners are particularly friendly and welcoming, the waitstaff especially attentive, and the food delicious. Highly recommended. read more

Wonderful place! Huge servings, very reasonable prices. I've never had anything bad there, and there are so many vegetarian options!

The food here is totally amazing, they have it ready super quick and it's completely delicious. Favorite place to get doordash from in Davis by far. read more

Came here craving Indian food and I'm sorry to say this restaurant kind of disappointed me. Ordered samosas, naan bread, and lamb tikka masala. The samosas and naan were good hence the three stars. But holy hell the tikka masala was overwhelmingly sweet. It's like they threw in a ton of sugar in the sauce. I couldn't enjoy it. Maybe I'll come back to try other dishes but whoever cooks the tika masala should seriously hold back on the sweetness. read more
