Hidden down a small flight of stairs in Pierrepont St, Bath, is the most amazing Nepalese Restaurant,
 |
| Marta, my Spanish student, and I went there for lunch while visiting Bath on Saturday. |
The restaurant specialises in freshly prepared authentic Nepalese cuisine, served in a charming and friendly atmosphere.
The inside of the restaurant is full of Nepalese bric a brac, with puppets, plastic flowers and pot pourri, which I don't really like too much in a restaurant, as I worry about all the dust, dead spiders and flies that have accumulated in it all, over the years. However, a swift glance from a well-trained OCD eye, quickly assured me that the polish had been out recently.

tucking in
(quick lesson)
phrasal verb
tuck in
1. to push the loose end of a piece of clothing or material into something.
" Oh no! her skirt is tucked into her knickers!'
2. to make someone comfortable in bed by straightening the sheets and blankets
'After having the vasectomy, Billy gasped in horror as Nurse Betty strided over to tuck him in.'
3. to start eating food.
'The food's on the table so start tucking in'.
The food was amazingly delicious, I actually think that if I am going to be executed, I would choose it for my last meal, but with five or six bottles of wine, a few Jack Daniels and then a couple of Jager Bombs. I'd hi five Jesus and God ......hopefully.
Didn't recognise the ornament, as it wasn't nailed to a cross.
There was a very friendly 'family feel ' to the restaurant, guess not too many Sherpas around to bring the Nepalese over to Somerset.
The friendly barman
The bill came to £37.20, this included 2 glasses of red wine and a glass of coke. Guess who drank the coke!
There was no service charge on the bill and we were not told of this when paying the bill, which was refreshing, (though I did spot it and left something)!
This is extremely good value for Bath, as recently I spent £10 on two pasties and two bottles of water to 'eat out'......not by myself, let me hasten to add.
The friendly owner, who unfortunately went to a very good English school in Nepal, so I couldn't offer to proof read his menu, or sell him English lessons.
The most annoying thing about him was hearing the sound of the flip-flops he was wearing, flip and flop as he waited the tables.
Is Yak Yeti Yak worth a visit?
The English Teacher says ' yes !'
