We decided to try a new restaurant, and new cuisine, and were very happy with our choice. We got the Nepali Set Meal, chicken Biryani and chicken nuggets. Everything came out delicious. We would definitely come again and bring friends next time.

Absolutely loved my experience at Himalayan Wild Yak! The flavors were authentic, bold, and comforting—exactly what you’d hope for in Nepalese and Tibetan cuisine. The momo dumplings were juicy and flavorful, and the yak chili was a standout—spicy, savory, and perfectly cooked. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt cozy yet modern. A hidden gem in Arlington for anyone craving something unique and delicious. Highly recommend!
