"Loved it. Had a great curry and the service was brilliant. Went with friends who also enjoyed their meal. Pricing is reasonable and parking is fairly good too. Tables are quite close together but it doesn't feel like you're encroaching on others so the atmosphere gets full marks. The choice on the menu is pretty broad and I'm terms of spice/heat will suit most pallets. All in all I would definitely recommend."

"Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Why I haven’t been before I’ll never know as only 20 minutes drive from home. One of the best curries to date. Will return!"

"Warm welcome. Super friendly staff. Interesting menu. Went for a lamb fish and a chicken. Both very nice. Rice and naan were both nice. The draught beers were very good. If in the area, will call in again. Can't say 5 stars do have gone for 4 since 4.5 not an option. Give them a try, you'll be glad you did"

"I recently visited Gurkha Restaurant and had a really good experience, especially as a vegetarian. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of veg options on the menu. The Jhol Momos were absolutely delicious – full of flavour and perfectly spiced. I also tried the vegetable biryani, which was fragrant, well-cooked, and satisfying. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Overall, I had a lovely time and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty vegetarian food with a Nepali/Indian twist. Will be visiting again!"
