Yak & Yeti

You're walking down Frankwell towards the river and you spot Yak & Yeti tucked in among the independent shops. Inside, it's warm and unpretentious—the kind of place where the staff remember regulars and the kitchen takes proper care. They're doing Nepalese and Indian food, which means momo dumplings alongside proper curries, and they're not cutting corners. The 4.8-star rating from 222 reviews tells you people keep coming back, not for Instagram moments but because the food's genuinely good. This is what Shrewsbury's neighbourhood restaurants should feel like.
