Amazing Indian/Nepalese food. Tandoori, Saag paneer and Nan bread were on point. Fresh, friendly, beautiful scenery.

It was just ok. There was a confusion about our reservation via OpenTable. They said there was a happy hour but apparently there wasn't at the Glen Ellen location. They didn't seemed surprised OpenTable was wrong and was referring to the other location. As far as food goes, it was ok. We got something other than what we ordered though. It was tasty enough but when you're in wine country you expect better in terms of service, atmosphere, cleanliness, and quality. read more

Yeti offers great food in a cozy setting tucked in a small "village" of shops near Glen Ellen. There's plenty of parking in the adjoining lot for the shops, as well as ample street parking. As soon as you open the door, you're greeted with all the wonderful spices used to prepare the food. Since it isn't listed on the menu, you can BYO for a corkage of just $15 per 750ml, probably one of the cheapest in the county. We had a variety of dishes and overall the food was well prepared and tasty, though we all favored some dishes over others. The samosas were excellent - the filling was delicious and pairing it with the two chutneys just elevated it. The only minor complaint is that the samosa wrapper was quite thick and pretty hard/crunchy in places - I think it would be better if the seams were rolled thinner so when they joined up, they wouldn't be too thick. The momos were just okay - I probably wouldn't order those again. The meat filling was tasty, but the momo wrappers were so soggy from steaming that they immediately fell apart. There was also no sauce whereas I'm used to momos being served with a spicy tomato chutney. We ordered multiple main dishes and I won't go into every single one, but each was tasty. The curries were flavorful with a perfect balance of spice and their buttered naan was to die for! Overall, we had a great dinner! Service was wonderful and we'll definitely be back to try more items off the very large menu :) read more

Yeti Restaurant - Prawn and Basil Curry, Special Lamb Skewer, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Vindaloo - Indian Near Me - Glen Ellen, California

I was so hungry and walked away satisfied after a meal of vegetarian momos, a vegetarian curry, naan, and chai. The setting is beautiful, and the service was unhurried. The momos were good--there were six, which is a good amount to share with one other person. They are verdant and come with two flavorful sauces. The curry was flavorful with spices, not too oily, and vegetables not overcooked. I sopped up every bit of remaining sauce with the naan. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a free refill on the chai. read more

Yeti Restaurant - Outdoor seating - Indian Near Me - Glen Ellen, California

We almost missed out on this wonderful nepalese place, but the other restaurant couldn't accommodate a party of 10. Thank goodness, this place was super tasty! Super random Nepalese/Indian place but also super good! Their momos were chefs kiss good. So well flavored, including the wrapper. Our group ordered a bunch of different things so we could try as much as we could! The naan was delicious (and huge). Our group also really liked the chicken tikka masala, the lamb tandoori/kebabs I forget - they weren't gamey at all and were possibly one of my favorites. Definitely do yourself a favor though, and make sure you order something from the tandoori section of the menu. We also got the chicken reshami kebabs and they were delicious, the chicken tender. The only thing that wasn't awesome was the rice. It felt clumpy and not actually that good? It did its job of being a vehicle for the curries though. Normally I always order rice (and sometimes also naan) but I think here, you could just go with the naan and skip the rice, esp since they're each $5? Spend that $ on another naan instead lol. A quick bit on eating outsude- We ate outside and it was super cute, but as the evening wore on and our food came out, so did the wasps. We were right next to the railing, so I'm not sure if it was any better towards the interior (maybe since they had fans). But if you're afraid of eating around wasps, maybe eat inside or on the inner part of the deck. read more

Chicken tikka, rice, and bread. Almost $40! Chicken Tika was mostly sauce, with six cubes of chicken. Gobbled most of it up in 15 minutes. Feels a little expensive these days. They have definitely cut back on meat portions. Gotta save food costs, never mind value. People will forget over time how much more they used to get. I just looked back at the pictures in here and you can see the difference actually over years. read more

My previous review was in January 2010. Was pleased then. 14 years later my meal was every bit as tasty and satisfying. Came with family tonight and had 7 different dishes to share. Everything made us all happy. Prices are very reasonable. Probably the best value meal in Glen Ellen. If you love Indian food , you will love this place. read more

I've never had Nepalese food before but I am a huge fan of Indian food in general. Sadly, my little town of Paso Robles does not have any Indian food and I'm told there is nothing really decent in the surrounding areas. I often use my travel as opportunity to eat the things I miss (decent Chinese, Japanese and Indian, to name just a few). After a great tasting at Schermeister next door, we couldn't help but to smell the delicious aromas coming from around the corner. We were pretty hungry as it was late lunch time. We ordered the Yeti Special Chicken (the "mint" sauce was super subtle but delicious), the prawn biryani, the chicken curry and the garlic naan. If I had access to a fridge and microwave at the my airBnb, I probably would have ordered more. Everything was excellent, and just a little different from your typical Indian food. For example, the biryani had a kind of gravy on it that I've never had before. The naan was the most beautiful one I've ever had. We love Glen Ellen and prefer to stay there when in Napa/Sonoma. I will absolutely make a point of going to Yeti every single time I'm in the area. Absolutely fantastic! read more

Back at the Yeti today. They still have their outdoor seating available and it was lovely sitting outside to enjoy a meal. We got the olive nan- excellent. Samosas- excellent. Saag Ghosht- excellent. Okra dish- very good. Rice- uncooked. When we notified our server that our 2 orders of rice were undercooked, she didn't seem to believe us. She seemed to give me the sense that they couldn't/ wouldn't do anything about it and she just left. A little bit later she came back with more rice. But at that point our meals were cold. We never received an apology and they seemed to ignore our table for the rest of the meal. So overall, the food is delicious, but the service levels are subpar at best. read more

The most outstanding food. First, at the recommendation of our server, we tried the Momo. Juicy and full of flavor. For dinner, we had tandoori salmon, curried lamb shank, garlic naan, an okra dish, and rice. Everything was amazing. My favorite was the momo and salmon. My partner's was the momo and lamb. We sat outside under beautiful green trees. The service was perfect. Thank you for an exceptional anniversary dinner. read more

The Yeti Restaurant is a restaurant in The Mill. I adore the location. The food is delicious. Our favorite dish was the chicken tikka mesala. We tried both the garlic naan and honey butter naan.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! This is some of the best Indian food I have ever had! The owners are so kind and very accommodating of spice level (or wimpy ness to spice level) and dietary restrictions. I went with my sister who is gluten and dairy free and they were able to recommend several delicious options. Also the scenery is beautiful. If I could give it 6 stars I would! Take out is also wonderful! read more

My girlfriend and I are visiting Sonoma for the weekend so we decided to stop by here for dinner last night. When we arrived , we were promptly seated - we opted for outdoor seating. There were a decent amount of people there but still many tables available indoors and outdoors. For our meal we ordered an order of veggie momo , the saag paneer, the Chana pine, an olive basil Naan , and some rice. We also shared a Mango Lassi The momos we got were very solid - while the wrapping was a little flimsy , the interior was fresh and seasoned well. The tamarind and mint chutney were a nice addition as well. The olive and basil Naan was a highlight - it was fluffy and chewy and the topping was almost like pesto(?) It was a very unique flavor that worked really well with the two curries. Speaking of the curries - the saag paneer was definitely a solid choice and a must get. The greens they use were earthy and savory and the curry itself was perfect. My only complaint is that the the paneer to curry ratio was not great... we had maybe six pieces of paneer in our curry The chana was unfortunately a low light for me. The curry lacked a sort of oomph in flavor and the worst part was chickpeas didn't seem cooked through - they were brittle and grainy. Service was friendly , and the ambiance was quite nice (the Jack London Village marketplace is very cool - would visit again) While our overall experience was good , I think there was still something missing (no wow factor). With that being said, if you're looking for some quality Nepali/ Indian food in Napa you can't go wrong visiting here. 3.33/5 read more

Yeti Restaurant - Vegetable Momo - Indian Near Me - Glen Ellen, California

Who knew wine country and cuisine from the Southern Asia region could go so well together? Tucked away in the woods and vineyards that make up Glen Ellen, California resides a quaint complex called the Jack London Village that houses business restaurants, shops and wine tasting rooms situated over a serene creek, and one of those businesses is Yeti Restaurant, which combines the flavors and cuisine of India and Nepal into one destination for lovers of both exotic cuisine and affordably priced meals. What brought a friend and I here on a recent weekend afternoon was we wanted to enjoy a quick lunch after a wine tasting at a nearby winery in Glen Ellen. When searching for places to dine for lunch nearby there aren't many options around so my friend suggested Yeti Restaurant after one of her friends said they used to come here multiple times as they loved it so much, and after enjoying our shared lunchtime meal, we could easily see why. Arriving without reservations, we had the option of sitting outside on their patio that overlooks the creek, and inside with their open-kitchen and bar overlooking their patio. We opted to sit inside as it was a bit chilly outside and with the smells from the kitchen emanating throughout, it made for the perfect setting. The menu at Yeti Restaurant is separated into categories including Appetizers, Soup, Salad, Seafood Delicacies, Exquisite Chicken Curries, Fragrant Lamb Curries, Naan, Accompaniments, and Beverages. With names like that you can't go wrong with what you choose from their menu. We decided to split our meal and so we ordered from their Appetizer menu their Samosas, which were two homemade triangular pastries filled with potatoes and green peas lightly spiced with garlic ginger and cumin, and served with a red cabbage and carrot garnish. For our entrée, we decided to split a serving of their Chicken Curry which is cooked with tomatoes, onions, chili, mustard seeds and fresh curry leaves. To go with our meal we ordered a side of steamed rice and an order of their Olive Basil Naan, which is their traditional leavened bread baked to order in a tandoor. The samosas came out first and they were two perfectly deep-fried triangles that were piping hot upon being cut open with a fork and knife which was tempered once we added their sweet tamarind sauce and tangy mint chutney sauce. Then our entree, rice and bread were all brought out at once with everything tasting perfectly when combined together. The highlight of our meal had to have been their Naan bread, as we had originally assumed it would be sliced Naan bread, but it was more like its own pizza bread, ready to be sliced on its own and when paired with the extra curry sauce from our entrée, it tasted so authentic thanks to the flavor and preparation techniques. Our chicken curry was a solid dish when paired with basmati rice served its goal in filling our bellies. It was such a solid meal with two plus courses that our final bill was a little over 34 dollars before gratuity was added in, which was more than reasonable. Knowing that Yeti Restaurant is here ready to satiate the appetites of locals and out-of-towners alike, especially when spending a day tasting wine at the many wineries and tasting rooms nearby, is like a breath of fresh air. We could have gone to your run of the mill local tavern that would serve traditional American fare but why not experience something unique in wine country and at Yeti Restaurant you can't get any more unique. By using fresh ingredients from local farms Yeti Restaurant is bringing their own unique spin to wine country, and being recognized by the Michelin Guide in the past certainly shows you something. With a second larger location in Santa Rosa the team at Yeti Restaurant continues to grow, and I for one, cannot wait to see where they grow to next! read more

Luckily the staff was accommodating and we were still able to get a table without waiting. Though it was a rainy day, so not a lot of people out and about in wine country. The restaurant wasn't very busy. I honestly did not try much of the food, but the wine was good and decently priced. I believe their corkage is $15 per bottle, so we did think about bringing some of the wine we bought prior. Turns out we didn't need to since their wine list offered some pretty good reds around $50 a bottle. Service was great! We had a big party so you know how that can go. Some unorganization is normally to be had. Some chaos happens when there's a big part of adults and kids. Didn't phase the staff and all. Since we were sharing, we managed to figure out what we wanted and how many dishes we needed to feed everyone. Great spot for Indian cuisine if you're wine tasting in Sonoma County. read more

Cozy and comfy atmosphere serving up delicious Nepalese cuisine. The Momo's came out streaming hot. The vegetables still had a slight crunch to them. A great appetizer to be sure. We had BAINGAN BHARTA and SAAG GOSHT. Both were rich with spices and delicate texture. A perfect pair with hot fresh naan (cooked to order). The Chicken Biriyani was moist and tender. I'm used to Biriyani being fluffier with less sauce, but this was still very enjoyable. Would absolutely return when next in Glen Ellen. read more

Mediocre food , very disappointing experience , service that leaves you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.... needles to say will not go back

We were pleasantly surprised because everywhere else in town was fully booked up and yeti was empty. There was only one other couple in the whole restaurant so we thought that didn't bode well, but it ended up being a delicious dinner. We liked everything, the chicken tikka masala, the curries, and the naan bread. It was all delicious. They deserved to be much busier than they were! read more

This was by far one of the best Indian restaurants that I've ever been to. I ordered the chicken tikka masala but freeloaded off my friends. He ordered eggplant, and I ate a lot of it because it was so good. I have avoided egg plant my whole life due to its appearance but Yeti has changed me The chicken here is definitely free range. It was so tender and the sauce covered it so well. The sauce wasn't too thick and had a great texture. Very tomato-y. Naan was huge too. Definitely great for sharing. Great place and very nice ambiance. Would recommend their eggplant read more

Very disappointed! We just have lunch there today, 1/11/24 at 1 pm. No one greet us. I saw the 2 cooks were playing with their phone. After a while I yelled out loud "HELLO" then the waiter came out. It's freezing cold inside, only a couple were there, the restaurant put a space heater in front of their table. I asked for one then she said I'll turn on the heat!! We ordered tandoori chicken, it's cooked on an iron plate, not from a traditional tandoori oven. Chicken didn't have taste, not marinated enough. The sauces are in plastic bottle, very cheap. None of the rest of our food tastes good. We will not come back! read more

Situated right next to a creek. Yeti has a wonderful outdoor dining patio overlooking a sculpture garden. We had a lovely and serene lunch here, away from the crowds of Sonoma Plaza, but be-warned that service can be slow(I think they are short staffed). We had a nice sizzling lamb kebab tandoori plate. There were good amounts of flavorful meat and it was perfectly cooked. The garlic cilantro naan was the size of the whole plate and full of aromatic and garlic goodness. The okra curry was amazing, and we enjoyed the hot chai tea with free refills. read more

We took my Mom here for lunch on her recommendation (everyone here knows and loves Mom). She got a lentil soup and vegetable momos. I had a taste; both were yummy. We also got a big, puffy, delicious garlic naan for the table. I got the lamb chops tandoori. They arrived with smoke sizzling out, pungent and flavorful with onion and bell peppers caramelizing on the hot iron platter. I ate until full and still had a chop to take home. The outdoor seating area is bright, pretty and surrounded by greenery. Overall highly recommended. read more

Delicious food, lovely staff. They even generously gave my cousin's kiddo a refill on his mango lassi. Will definitely return!

I was disappointed for the last time, and I won't be back. I recommended this place to my friend because it was close by and we didn't want to cook, remembering the last time I was in, the food was good. I generally order the food "Indian hot" (which it's not) and love the eclectic decor vibe, but the restaurant as a whole feels like it's slipping; the food is very inconsistent and the service, while attentive, is weirdly interruptive. We visited around 7:30 on a Friday, and we were sat right away. The dining room had a few active tables, but it didn't feel like a bustling Friday night. Oddly, the dining room was being heated with space heaters- with untaped cords pulled across the dining room floor. The kitchen was working 2-3 tickets when were seated, and we were the last cover for the hour. We ordered samosas (***), chicken Tikka (*), saag paneer (**), garlic naan (*****), and brown rice (*). Our server oddly removed our bread plates, and the chef suggested giving them back because we ordered an appetizer. She seemed bored and oblivious. The samosas were decent in flavor but came out with the tamarind and mint chutneys in yellow and red squeeze bottles used for ketchup and mustard at a dive hotdog place- it felt especially cheap, like they were trying to not waste a drop of sauce. We felt the entrees were underwhelming and desperately lacking flavor, and the rice was mushy and overcooked. We ordered our food medium, and it wasn't even close to mild. The tikka had a strong ketchup-like or tomato paste flavor and was very bland. The paneer was underwhelming, and the naan was somehow perfect. The portions felt small for the price, and the service felt very hover-y. We picked at our food, and ultimately decided just to go home. We were too tired to say anything, so we just reluctantly packed our leftovers in boxes. When we paid, they didn't want to take our credit card- asking if we had cash instead, which felt a little shady. The whole experience felt like they were aggressively cutting corners to cut costs, and trying to cover the remaining costs with under the table transactions. Unfortunately, I feel like they cut away all the quality, and any originality that once made this place special. read more

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Yeti Restaurant! Excellent dining experience at Yeti this afternoon. We had a party of 7 with 2 dogs so we're seated outdoors. Yeti's outdoor seating was comfortable and shaded, and our waitress was helpful and friendly. Given we had a large party, we ordered and tried a variety of dishes and everything tasted GREAT! We would highly recommend: * Chicken Momo - Juicy dumpling with flavorful chicken filling * Tandoori Chicken - Very tasty and chicken was super moist. We loved the sizzling plate touch and this dish is excellent! * Mango Lassi - one of the best we've tried. Full of yogurt and mango taste and not too sweet. * Garlic or Plain Naan - Nice and freshly baked naan. Soft and fluffy but crunchy on the outer layer. Well done ! We found out that this Yeti las been at the current location for 15+ years and is not connected with other Yeti restaurants. No wonder this one is so much better - both better food and better services! read more

Yeti had some wonderfully friendly customer service and the ambiance was nice. We loved that the restaurant was dog friendly as we ate outdoor. Parking was very easy as they share a parking lot with other restaurants and was a short walk away. We ordered the papadam and samosas as appetizers and they were great. For the main course, we had the vegetable curry and eggplant which we asked to be spicy. The dishes looked fantastic. Unfortunately, they seemed to lack flavor as compared to our other favorite restaurant in Santa Rosa with the same cuisine, Cumin. read more

I've been here many times throughout the years, but I feel like every subsequent visit has been worse and worse. Today was the final time I think I'm visiting Yeti. Imagine spending $100 on takeout and finding out they squished all of your chicken momo into a tight, sealed container and ended up with one giant soggy momo, with all of the juices at the bottom. For $100, you'd expect they would have some respect for their customers. I am never coming back. read more

Yeah, this was a really cool spot with great fresh food. Nothing reheated, all cooked fresh. I will be back.

One of the best Indian restaurants in California, in a wonderfully charming part of the forest near Jack London State Park. Luckily we arrived before 5pm otherwise we were told the tables were all reserved. All the dishes were delicious but the garlic naan and lamb korma were truly something else. Hopefully we can have a chance to visit again. Unfortunately though I had to take 1 star off for their undisclosed use of nuts, including peanuts in the shrimp biryani. It really should be listed on the menu but it was not. Luckily my son (who is allergic to peanuts) didn't ingest one and we stopped him from eating the dish once we noticed it had more than just cashews. read more
