yeti and the monk

absolutely loved the dimsums here!!! to be honest, we were a bit sceptical when we saw where the place is located. however once you enter and settle down, and start eating, you forget about the surroundings 😂 we ordered the darjeeling steamed dumplings and the chilly garlic dumplings which just blew our minds! the summer rolls were very refreshing, dint know salad could taste so good! and the spicythukpawas perfect to end the meal. the portions are decent and the ambience is minimalistic. staff is nice and polite. overall a good dining experience which was quick and tasty.

finally after 2 years of delay we tried the food from yeti . we have no complaints no criticism, everything from hospitality to food to ambiance too cleanliness was great and nothing less . you will find flavour in every bite .
we ordered
chicken steamed momos
chicken summer rolls
chicken spring rolls
chicken stir fry with rice
chickenthukpa
gurash cooler and one more mock tail
rice pudding for dessert
everything was 10/10
make sure to reach the restaurant at the time they open to avoid waiting.

must go place forthukpaand dumpling lovers. they serve really tasty and mouthwatering thai dishes.

this is one of my most favourite places in the city, right now. this was on my list for a very long time. finally went here on a recent winter afternoon for thukpa! and ended up having darjiling dumplings, chicken ema datshi & vietnamese coffee!!!

yeti & the monk serves the best dumplings in town!thukpawas just perfect! ema datshi was too good, too!

#customerexperience #mustvisit #worthit


yeti and monk was on my bucket list for very long time but i never got a chance to actually go and visit the place as my friends don't prefer pork meat. somehow in december month i saw a post on peo and decided to visit the place.

i visited the place on friday evening, they've done some major changes in the interior and the restaurant looks more lively now. you won't feel dull or something while seating and hogging on your favourite food.

things we tried -

darjeeling steamed dumplings [ pork - 250/- ] = these juicy looking medium-sized dumplings comes in a medium thick coating and are packed with juicy minced pork meat which is again seasoned with in-house spices. the meat was super juicy and you get to have the flavorful broth in the inside which is the best thing i've ever had. last but not least the dip you get with the dumplings is something you won't find anywhere else. #musttry

vietnamese iced coffee [160/-]- one of the best vietnamese iced coffee i've had in a very long time. i had the vietnamese coffee at same place when the place was run by vietnamese people named as smiley house. this one is strong and i mean it. we had 2 drinks each and we couldn't sleep till 3 am. the coffee really tastes good and have balanced flavours which will make you have more.

spicythukpa[pork 350/-] = then we had their famous spicythukpa, which is more than enough for two people. it comes in a heavy huge bowl which is packed with lots of things. the broth is a real deal , the flavor profile of the broth is on another level which is then accompanied by pork meat and i will suggest you guys to go with pork meat only as its the right choice. definitely have it.

pork chops with rice [600-800 rs] - you don't get this dish on weekdays and you need to make prior bookings. luckily when we went they started the dish on friday as well so we get to try the legendary dish. the pork chops were cooked to perfection and when you try to take a bite the meat was literally falling apart from the bone. the meat was so juicy and flavorful that you just can't stop at once bite. the dish is so heavy that we had to take the parcel and after having it after 3 days the taste was still the same or i'll say it was enhanced. so you can imagine how perfect they've cooked and seasoned the meat. #musthave.


the prices are definitely not on the pocket-friendly side but if you really want to try the best asian food then you must visit this place. i was shocked and blown away by the food and i think the amount we paid was totally worth it.

we visited the place to eat momos but ended up having lot of things.
veg steam momos - 5 /5
vegthukpa- 5/5
dessert -3/5
vietnamese coffee- 5/5
the service was really good. overall best place for tibetan food!

yeti and monk is the only place in pune that i found that even serves emma datshi(local bhutanese dish) and it’s on point.
theirthukpais among the best i’ve tried. i order the summer rolls and dumplings every time i visit too.
very nice people, authentic food. i’ve taken different groups of friends and family and everyone has loved the food to bits.

the waiter confused us by suggesting pan fried momos while we wanted to eat steamed only nd he served chilli garlic pan fried alsothukpahas no veggies just onion tomato and capcicum very cheap veggies alsothukpawas full of soy sauce salty and sour.. cost is too high for the cheap quality of food they serve.. disappointed 😞

yeti and the monk is one small but comfy place in aundh serving some really authentic tibetian food along with a few wacky south east asian classics, they serve some really simple but delicious things like dumplings,pho and eventhukpa! the overall vibe of the place is really welcoming and warm, everything here is prepared to order and right from scratch let it be their stock or their noodles.
i had ordered two things from their menu, chicken summer rolls and pork dumplings. this place is really famous among the locals for their pork dishes and theirthukpatoo !

chicken summer rolls: 5/5 🌟🔥
a vietnamese classic of sliced carrots, cabbage and boiled chicken all wrapped up in a rice paper and served along side a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. really loved this dish, i've never had such an authentic summer roll before, was really refreshing and went really well with the steaming hot dumplings !

pork dumpling: 5/5 🌟🔥
the best dumplings i've had till date, they can easily change the name to a soup dumpling. the dumplings were huge and full of pork broth in it, also the coating was very thin and the filling was full of juicy and moist pork. the dumplings were enough to tell me about their standard of cooking, simply stunning !

this place is jam packed during the weekend and they most of the time run out of portions let it be chicken or pork, if you are planning to visit this place especially for pork do make sure you reserve your portion a day before, that's how famous this place is. i will for sure visit this place the next time i'm visiting pune for their pork chops and pho ❤️

food: 4/5
service: 5/5
price: 4/5 (830/- for the order)
order: tukpa veg, vietnamese coffee, datshi ema, shaphale

- this place have an old connection with vietnamese food. smiley house was in the same place before this and was very good with and sticking to authentic taste.
- shaphale is very crisp on outside with nice guey mushroom filling.
- datshi had excellent balance of chilly and cheese.
-thukpacomes in large bowl and again well balanced taste of garlic n other veggies
- small place but kept clean and with nice decor. you can listen to tibetan and buddhist chants in the background. service is excellent to top it up

cute little place with a chilled out vibe. pork dumplings with a delicate smoked flavour are the best i've had in pune. a vietnamese cold coffee and a chickenthukparounded off a lovely meal.

visited this place for quick snacks after office. the place is small with limited seating space but worth visiting. we tried steamed pork dumplings in the appetiser. it was juicy and delicious. then we had spicy chickenthukpait was amazing and a perfect meal for one. i was expecting it more spicy and full of chillies. but the spice level was okay for me. felt nostalgic. also, we had chocolate tart in the dessert which was served with vanilla ice cream. the tart was also yummy.
overall it was an amazing experience and going to visit the place again.

i’ve been to this place after lockdown, as the staff was on short so there was a limited food menu. but whatever they served us was of great quality. the food was made in front of us, it was so fresh and delicious.
i would personally suggest to try their spickythukpa😄
thank you.

this place was recommended by a close friend in pune. and he was all praises about the food here. that grew the curiosity in me. and i am happy i took his advice.
the place looks small at first. the soothing tibetan hymns playing in the background transports you to a different place altogether. the menu is precise with food from tibet, bhutan and a few dishes from vietnam.
we ordered tofu summer rolls, veg dumplings, spicy chickenthukpaand chicken pho. (we had a vegetarian friend with us, so ordered a few veg options).
summer rolls are something that you won't see on a lot of menus. so we were very exited to try those. very refreshing and healthy. goes really well with the dip they serve along with it. i didn't try the veg dumplings, but our vegetarian friend was all praises about it.
spicythukpawas spot on, right from the presentation to the taste.
(they serve hard boiled eggs with the thukpa, which i am not a fan of).
pho was something that i expected it to be. very subtle and full of flavour at the same time. you can ask for hot sauce with it, if you need that extra kick. (one of us opted for it).
we also ordered the gurash cooler and a pot of mango white tea.
both complement the food very well.

final words: a must visit place for food mongers who want to try something new. definitely worth a visit.

p.s: the food might take some time and you have to be very patient. but it is definitely worth the wait.
also, you have to take off your footwear outside the restaurant.
