Yeti Restaurant

So, they have a lot of vegan options, but they aren't labeled on the menu. That being said, the staff knew exactly what was vegan and pointed everything out to me and answered all of my questions with no judgement or negativity. The Naan they serve is also vegan - which is a huge bonus. It's a smaller restaurant in downtown Davis. Sitting on the outside patio next to a fountain made it super cute.

Had the mushroom matar (excellent!), which they can make vegan upon request as they now make both a vegan (no dairy) and vegetarian onion gravy that serves as the base for many dishes. They also can make any of the breads vegan upon request, so had some of that too. We sat outdoors in their patio area and enjoyed a nice evening meal. The thali is a great deal and comes with a lentil dahl that can be made vegan upon request. The rice pudding dessert was the only non-vegan option in the thali but staff was helpful in pointing this out as I ordered. Will be back again soon. Has a lot of variety and staff is really good about helping to navigate menu based upon preferences.

COOL Cuisine has gone into Yeti several times. The staff is very nice. While they have a vegetarian section, they only have about 3 items that are vegan. They told us they "pre-make" their spice mix at the beginning of each day using ghee and did not express willingness to cook vegetarian items from scratch using oil or margerine. We asked them if they would consider changing how they do this, and they expressed interest in being more vegan friendly, but the last time we were there, nothing had changed. It is a good place if you are vegetarian. They have outside seating, the staff is very friendly and the food (the vegan food we did taste) was yummy.
