Nice environment , mostly very tasty food, though service was a bit chaotic—not helped by the fire alarm that was falsely tripped and blasted our ears for about 10 mins. The lentil dal had kidney (and maybe other) beans in it and was the least flavorful item we ordered. Highlights were the spicy cauliflower, kale chaat, and a chicken dishes.
The food was delicious! I love the watermelon salad and the kale chaat appetizer. So many good flavors. The vegetable biryani was delicious and my friends loved the butter chicken. The garlic naan and cheese naan were great and I LOVE the mustard greens. :)
Always amazing, Suraksha and her team are the absolute best. Delicious, comforting, and nostalgic.
I hadn't been in a number of years: I hadn't been impressed. I'm glad it finally returned because I enjoyed it and will return. My salmon was delicious. Three others are the table had chow mein. One diner found hers too spicy but the waiter replaced it for free and she was happy. The restaurant was crowded and noisy that night and as a group of four it was difficult to have a conversation. I will go again to try some other items and I will recommend this restaurant which has lots of options, especially for vegetarians.
We recently visited for a late lunch on Saturday and ordered a variety of dishes: Kale Chaat, Vegan Momos, Tofu Chowmein and Baigun Tarkari accompained by sides of Buckwheat Roti and Coconut Naan. Eager to sample different items, we intentionally ordered extra so we could enjoy another meal at home. The food was delicious, with generous portions and just the right level of spice
A nice find. Have been meaning to check this place out for a couple years. The food is delicious! The menu is eclectic without being too much. Excellent variety in terms of flavors, and nice selections for vegetarians as well as good meat and seafood choices. The servers were attentive and pleasant, and the dining room was comfortable, not as noisy as you might think for a packed room of its size. Creative cocktails and ample, clean bathrooms!
Very nice place. Love the turquoise color of the seats covers, and the gold design in the walls. The waitress was really nice and attentive. Love the huge space of the bathroom with the green. tile and glass doors.
Wonderful find. The food was great; made with great care. Good service, and a short but good drinks selection.
This was our first visit and we were early (5 PM). By 6 PM when we left, there was a good number of occupied tables and the crowd seemed to be even stronger when we went by at 8:30. We had the lamb skewers, the Pork Momo, the Dhading Chicken, and plain Nann. The three dishes all had totally different flavors, slightly spicy but not overly so. The Nann was exceptional. Prices were modest (Total about $50 for 2 people with light diets). We definitely enjoyed the meal and we will definitely be back.
Ok good good service convenient location

They charge an extra 3% on top if you use a credit card
This is an awesome restaurant. The staff is super helpful and welcoming and they are all wonderful with kids. The atmosphere has a good vibe, cool lighting and great music. And the food is some of the best that I’ve eaten in San Francisco - great, delicious flavors with high quality ingredients. If you want a bite that will change your world, order the cashew curry with chicken, garlic naan, turmeric rice on the side, and then get a side order of their jar of Nepalese Szechuan spice and mix it all together. AND they have great, high quality wine glasses that have thin lip. 10 stars.

Dancing Yak was very cozy and good vibes for a date night or dinner with friends. The food was delicious as well- we got a couple starters to share along with our own dishes, and everything was very tasty. I would say the one con is it was a little expensive for what you get. I know it’s San Francisco so things tend to be a bit pricier, but this just seemed to be the main downside to me. Quality of everything was great though.
Recommended dishes: Kale Chaat
Food was good. The vibe here is super good. Not the most authentic taste for the price. Also the layout can be improved because the tables are super close and it makes it really weird to have a conversation when there’s a group sitting right next to you. Staff was nice :)
