What people say, in short
White Yak is a Tibetan restaurant in Roxborough that people name among the area's better places to eat. Two commenters single out the thenthuk noodle soup, and one diner calls the food phenomenal for the price. Momo dishes and curry also get mentions, though one commenter feels the Northwest has decent food but little that justifies a special trip.
