Known for its welcoming atmosphere and attention to detail, this restaurant has become a local favorite, delivering a dining experience that combines rich, flavorful dishes with warm hospitality. Whether you're visiting for a casual dinner or a special celebration, The Gurkha delivers consistently satisfying meals.

The The Gurkha Restaurant menu features an extensive array of dishes that highlight the vibrant spices and fresh ingredients typical of Nepali and Indian cooking. Starters include favorites such as onion bhajis, vegetable samosas, and momos (Nepali dumplings), all of which are made fresh and bursting with flavor. The main menu boasts a wide range of curries, with options like chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, and prawn jalfrezi, each crafted with a blend of spices that deliver rich, deep flavors.

The menu also includes a selection of tandoori dishes, biryani, and grilled meats, ensuring that there’s something for everyone.

During my visit, I opted for the Gurkha chicken curry with garlic naan and a side of pilau rice. The curry was rich and aromatic, with tender chicken cooked in a deliciously spiced sauce that was bold but well-balanced. The garlic naan was soft and warm, with just the right amount of garlic, while the rice was fragrant and fluffy, complementing the curry perfectly. Many other diners around me seemed to enjoy their lamb biryani and tandoori mixed grill, both of which looked equally tempting.

Service at The Gurkha Restaurant is friendly and attentive, with staff eager to guide you through the menu and recommend dishes based on your preferences. Prices are fair, offering great value for the generous portion sizes and high quality of the food.
