Wild Yak Tibetan Restaurant

Wild Yak
350 High street
Northcote 3070
Open for dinner daily except Sun



This is the very first time I've tried something Tibetan. I have no idea how authentic Tibetan food is supposed to look like, but this one is quite tasty! Wild Yak has a quirky interior that is cosy with  excellent customer service. The food in Wild Yak feels like 'India meets China', with lots of stir fries and curries. The flavour profile is not as robust/spicy as Indian food, and is not as salty/oily as Chinese food. We ordered a selection of dishes and they all went very well with rice. The food here is something that I can eat frequently, but there is no single dish that is outstanding. The most memorable item was their "Bo Cha", which is tea with Yak butter and salt. It's interesting with the buttery saltiness, but it's not my kind of tea! Unfortunately as we were too busy eating, I forgot to take photos of the dishes. Dishes are very reasonably priced - each dish is <13.00aud
Will definitely go back and try again! I give it 7/10!
