Tasty food - Edit
We had okra and dal dishes. As well as the vegetable pakora appetizer and garlic naan. Everything was good. Although there weren't too many people eating in the restaurant while we were there (4:30 to 5:30 on a Friday), lots of people were getting takeout.

We will be back - Edit
We had not tried Yak and Yeti since they moved to their current location. We were pleasantly surprised that the food has greatly improved since the last time we visited years ago and we very much enjoyed the items that we ordered. One drawback is that they do not offer vegan naan like some of their local competitors. This Yak and Yeti is close and convenient so we will be back soon.
Read morePros: Many vegan options, Staff is familiar with vegan requests, Food has improved with change in location
Cons: No vegan naan

It's awesome! - Edit
This restaurant is not entirely vegan, but they have plenty of choices and are very good about it. The food is always fantastic and the portions are good. The Naan is not vegan, I think it contains dairy, but if you ask they will give you a similar alternative.

Lots of options - Edit
I wasn't impressed with most vegan places in the area but this place is a gem! Sooo many vegan options if you just ask for the vegetarian stuff to be made vegan. Also friendly staff and huge portions. 2 meals fed 3 of us twice.ove that you can choose the spice level bc it catered to me who likes things the hottest possible and my family who can't take spicy food.

One of my favorite Indian places - Edit
There are so many vegan options including a vegan Saag. Their buffet has multiple vegan options and is clearly marked what is vegan. Their staff is also super knowledgeable and helpful with any questions you may have.

Happy with options - Edit
Happy with the vegan choices available here and had a great take out meal of Chana Masala that was delicious. Be willing to order off the menu and not the buffet if vegan as choices are limited.
Read morePros: Separate vegan and gluten free menu, Lots of substitutions to make vegan/vegetarian
Cons: Limited choices on buffet line for vegans

Improved since my review 3 years ago - Edit
Ask for the vegan menu & go there for DINNER. It's an absolute zoo at lunchtimes because of the buffet (usually no vegan items) and this makes the experience tough. The staff are too flustered at lunchtimes. The food is tasty but the dishes do all seem to have a very similar flavor. However, the SWEET POTATO TIKKA MASALA is to die for! Tasty bhajis too. It's a little pricier choosing off the menu, I wish they would have a vegan buffet like other restaurants.
Read morePros: Separate vegan menu (ask for it), sweet potato tikka masala rocks my world!
Cons: Too busy at lunchtimes (don't try, ruins the e, No vegan buffet items (usually), Food v similar in flavors

Awesome buffet - Edit
So as a vegan I'm usually wary of buffets but when I asked the waiter if there were vegan options he walked me to the buffet table and showed me all of them. There was yellow rice in addition to white rice, chana masala and some kind of daal dish, coconut curry soup, and vegetable pakoras. Everything was awesome and I felt so good knowing exactly what I could eat
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Awesome staff, Full bar with house brewed beer

Very Vegan Friendly - Edit
Yak and Yeti has a separate vegan menu at the back of their regular menu which makes ordering super-simple here. It's a fairly diverse selection, though I do with they had vegan versions of some other dishes I love, but the fact that they are so accommodating makes up for that.
Read moreMy favorite selections off of that menu are the Chana Masala, Aloo Gobi, and Vegetable Biryani. I stay away from the Saag, which I love, but they use soy milk as an alternative, and it's not my favorite. In my ideal world, it would be coconut, but you can't have everything, right?
They have a buffet with one half being vegetarian, so if you're veggie, but not vegan, there is always a great selection of stuff.
My one complaint, and in my opinion it's a huge one, which is why my rating is so low, is that service is absolutely terrible. My husband and I suspect it may had to do with most of the customers being buffet orderers, so perhaps they are not used to having to do much. On different occasions I have had to wait inordinately long for my check or change, hunt people down for it, have had mass confusion about change (and been short-changed by a LOT), and have been seated and then ignored. It's unfortunate, because I want to be more supportive, but it's frustrating to feel as though they don't care.
Pros: Large vegan menu, Tasty food, 1/2 the buffet is vegetarian
Cons: Horrible service

Best Buffet - Edit
No matter what a buffet is never as good as an ordered meal. With this said this was the best vegetarian buffet I've tried yet. Sorry vegans it might be slim pickins. I do recommend their sag panir and sweet potato masala. Also their carrot pudding and sweet fried dough balls were excellent tasting deserts. The atmosphere was so so but not terrible. And the price was great. All u could eat for 10 dollars. I wondered how they made any money at all. Oh well I just tried to enjoy and not think too much about it.

Pleasant, but difficult for vegans - Edit
Yak & Yeti isn't terribly vegan friendly, so we don't visit too often. As the earlier review mentioned, however, it is possible to veganize many of the vegetarian dishes and the roti. It might be helpful to ask for the chef directly, as the staff isn't always reliable.
Read moreIf you make it through the ordering process (or if you're a vegetarian), you'll find that the food itself is well worth it.
Final note to vegans: the free "chips & dip" appetizer given to everyone comes by default with a creamy sauce. Ask your server in advance to omit it!
Pros: Accessible chef, Yummy food, Respectable vegetarian buffet
Cons: Difficult for vegans

Vegan friendly and delicious! - Edit
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, fantastic food.
Read moreOne side of the buffet is completely vegetarian (though not vegan) but me and my vegan friends ordered 5 different dishes off the menu and they made them all vegan for us. They also have one vegan bread.
I'll be going back regularly...
Pros: delicious, vegan friendly, friendly staff
Cons: samosas aren't vegan
