Welcome to Pune! We are incredibly thrilled to open our doors in the vibrant neighborhood of Kalyani Nagar. If you are searching for a cozy restaurant to unwind after a long day, you have found the perfect spot. At Yeti, we pour our hearts into crafting memorable dining experiences with authentic Himalayan food. We built The Himalayan Kitchen as a peaceful retreat where the bustling city noise simply fades away, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in a heartwarming culinary journey. We absolutely love sharing our rich heritage with our guests, and we cannot wait to treat you to a fantastic meal.
Bringing the Mountains to East Pune
When we decided to open a new location, Kalyani Nagar stood out as the perfect choice. This neighborhood is known for its beautiful tree lined streets, vibrant social scene, and a community that truly appreciates great dining. We wanted to introduce a completely different flavor profile to East Pune. Our goal was to create a warm, inviting space that contrasts with the usual fast paced cafes in the area.
A Dining Space Designed for Comfort
The moment you walk through our doors, we want you to feel a deep sense of relaxation. We designed our interior to reflect the rustic, cozy charm of a traditional mountain lodge. You will notice our warm wooden finishes, colorful prayer flags hanging gently from the ceiling, and culturally rich artifacts that adorn our brick walls. The soft lighting and soothing background music work perfectly together to slow down time. We want you to focus entirely on the delightful company of your friends and the incredible dishes placed before you.
A Prime Location for Food Enthusiasts
We are conveniently located on Lane Number 13, directly opposite the famous Joggers Park and right next to Kerala Cafe. This prime spot makes it incredibly easy for residents of Koregaon Park, Viman Nagar, and Magarpatta to drop by for a fulfilling meal. Whether you are finishing up a morning run at the park or planning a lively weekend dinner with your family, our doors are always open to welcome you.
Exploring Our Menu of Mountain Flavors
Our culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in tradition. We celebrate the diverse and heartwarming recipes of Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and North East India. Our chefs take immense pride in using original cooking methods passed down through generations. We carefully source our spices, such as the fiery Dalle Khursani chilies, to ensure we capture the true essence of mountain cooking.
Warming Soups and Handcrafted Dumplings
There is a special kind of joy in serving our famous Jhol Momo. We carefully hand fold these delicate dumplings and submerge them in a tangy, spicy sesame broth that our guests constantly rave about. If you prefer a different texture, our Tibetan Sha Phaley, a deep fried bread stuffed with savory meat, is a wonderful choice. We also highly recommend our Thukpa. This traditional noodle soup features a deeply flavorful broth packed with fresh vegetables, making it the ultimate comfort meal for a breezy Pune evening.
Traditional Thalis and Bold Stews
For those arriving with a large appetite, our signature Yeti Special Thali is an absolute must try. We arrange a beautiful, balanced platter of rice, lentils, vegetable curries, and regional pickles to give you a complete dining experience. If you love bold and creamy textures, we proudly prepare Ema Datchi. This famous Bhutanese stew consists entirely of rich cheese and fiery chilies, offering a unique flavor profile that leaves a lasting impression.
Plant Based Options for Everyone
We strongly believe that mountain dining should be enjoyed by everyone. That is why we offer a massive variety of vegetarian and vegan options. Our plant based guests absolutely love our Veg Himalayan Thali, crispy spinach, and our extensive selection of vegetable stuffed dumplings. Every meatless dish is crafted with the exact same care and robust spices as our meat based offerings.
Planning Your Perfect Visit
We want your time with us to be absolutely flawless from start to finish. Here is a little guide to help you plan the perfect outing at our Kalyani Nagar venue.
Ideal Times for a Meal
We open our doors every single day at 12:00 PM and keep the kitchen running until 11:00 PM. Weekday afternoons are wonderfully peaceful, making them ideal for quiet business lunches or reading a book over a hot bowl of soup. Friday nights and weekends bring a joyful, bustling energy to the dining room, perfect for lively social gatherings.
Pairing Your Food with the Right Drinks
Great food deserves a great drink. Our venue features a fully stocked bar with an exciting array of beverages designed to perfectly complement the bold spices of our dishes. You can order a chilled beer to cool down the heat of our curries or try one of our signature cocktails inspired by mountain botanicals. We also offer plenty of refreshing mocktails for our non alcoholic guests.
