The full story for the Yak & Yeti Restaurant is as followed:

Here in the town of Anandapur lives a rich merchant, Arjun, who has fallen on hard times and has turned his large home into the Yak & Yeti Hotel. In the center of the hotel is the full-service Yak & Yeti Restaurant, which features local Pan-Asian cuisine. The hotel is the kind of boutique hotel that wealthier adventure travelers might seek out in India. The décor, as well as the furniture, at Yak & Yeti is an amalgamation of mismatched artifacts Arjun has collected through his years of travel in Southeast Asia.

In the center of The Hotel is the full-service Yak & Yeti Restaurant, which features local Pan-Asian cuisine. The sights, sounds, aromas, and energy in the courtyard are a beacon for villagers eager to meet, eat, and socialize as they move through their day, and for travelers moving to and from their adventures. Local families have built up warangs, or food stands, around the hotel. These quick-service restaurants, or Local Food Cafes, feature Asian cuisine that guests can enjoy in the exterior courtyard. 

All told the Mystical Town of Anandapur is alive and vibrant, full of color and sound. The bustling Yak & Yeti Restaurant, Local Food Cafes, and Bhaktapur Market are bursting with people, goods, and interesting aromas.

Even going as far as to say the duck, which consists of a half duckling, plum BBQ sauce, jasmine rice, and stir-fried vegetables, is one of our favorite dishes on property.

Both the mango pie and chocolate pudding cake are also outstanding desserts and not ones you often see appear in other Walt Disney World restaurant locations.
