The Himalayas stretch fromPakistan to Nepal and there are countless restaurants borrowing the majestic mountain range’s name. However, the Himalayan cuisine I will focus on is the Nepal/Tibet side as I review one of my favourite restaurants in Delhi: Yeti, the Himalayan Kitchen.
Always fresh ingredients and light on the stomach (and purse Rs800/ £10 for a meal for 2), Yeti has never let me down and the menu has let me explore a part the world I have not yet visited even though it is only a hop and a skip away. Tibetan/Nepalese cooking is influenced by Chinese cuisine but it can knock my socks off with the spice level so I usually request no spice at all (wimp!).
I have no idea where a good Himalyan restaurant is in London or other parts of the world but I found a link to a place in Fulham called The Greedy Buddha. I greedily recommend the steamed momos (image above), crispy spinach and tingmo – a steamed bun. Fulham is the most annoying place to reach on the tube so you’ll need a good meal if you ever reach.
