Himalayas are heavenly KARISHMA KUENZANG karishma. kuenzang@ mid- day. com Since it first opened in May last year, Yeti - The Himalayan Kitchen, has been the place weu2019ve sought out for a bowl of cheesy ema datchi, a comparatively milder version of whatu2019s served in Bhutan and Darjeeling in terms of heat, which goes splendidly with a fluffly tingmo or plain momo. So, when we head there one weekday evening, weu2019re expecting a similar experience.
But we are a tad confused as we step in. Though it was set up on the ground floor the last time we came, attendants redirect us to the sixth floor, which turns out to be the rooftop of Raasta, the parent company that took over the Delhi- based Himalayan eatery and brought it to Mumbai. Itu2019s pretty; fairy lights brighten up the space, which would otherwise be almost pitch- dark, but thereu2019s no signage for Yeti, except on the menu that is handed to us, along with a separate one for Raasta.
