Yak Garden and Sacred Snacks: Light Bites with Big Flavor in the Heart of Boudha

In Boudha, where sacred rituals unfold daily around the great stupa, food also follows its own rhythm slow, meaningful, and deeply satisfying. And sometimes, all you need is a light bite to fuel your walk, accompany your tea, or share with a friend in the garden. At Yak Garden Kitchen & Café, our snack menu is inspired by the streets, kitchens, and traditions of Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan — offering flavorful, comforting options that are perfect any time of day.

Whether you’re looking for something crispy, spicy, or soothing, we’ve got you covered. Our fried momos are a local favorite — golden on the outside and juicy within, best dipped in our house-made chili-tomato sauce. Craving something crunchy? Try our Bhutanese datshi fries potato wedges tossed in chili cheese spice, served sizzling hot. For something light and healthy, our steamed tingmo bread with spicy achar makes a perfect match with tea, while chatpate, Nepal’s answer to street-style chaat, packs a tangy punch with puffed rice, herbs, and chili. Feeling chilly? Warm up with a small bowl of thukpa or a plate of egg & cheese roti roll, ideal for quick, cozy snacking. Whether you’re taking a break after spinning the prayer wheels or meeting friends in the garden, our snacks are made to comfort, energize, and bring a little more joy to your day. Come for a stroll, stay for a snack and taste the flavors that make Boudha feel like home
