Gurkha Restaurant

What an unexpected treat! As the cynical Londoners we are, we arrived to the restaurant extremely skeptical, but oh gosh how we changed our mind. The food is truly excellent, such a wide variety of Nepalese and Indian dishes all cooked to perfection. SO tasty! And the service is equally good. Cherry on the cake, it's also very reasonably priced. I don't often leave reviews, but to any other skeptical tourists around, I can't recommend it enough ;)

Absolutely fantastic experience as always. Staff always go above and beyond and make you feel very welcome. Facilities always clean and the restaurant is always nicely lit and welcoming. The portion sizes are perfect, not too big and not too small. Food is always piping hot and tasty. Their Naan bread is the best I've ever had, but the main dishes are also phenomenal. Thank You to The Gurkha!

We were on the way back from a day trip to Lundy and after a few days of good pub meals fancied something spicier. We like our curries, especially Nepalese. We didn't have high hopes of a curry in Barnstaple but how wrong we were. Food excellent. Spiced really well, with each dish having it's own character and flavour. Highly recommend.

**UPDATE 23.06.21 - Owner refunded the extra money taken on the day. I still highly recommend this place for food and service you won't be disappointed ** Turned up out of the blue and accommodated me without issue. Staff wearing masks and hand sanitiser at the entrance. Food was delicious and the recommended chicken dish was very nice. All well until it came to the Bill. Drink + onion bhaji + chicken dish + rice + Nan ( I've rounded up the figures here £2.20 + £4 + £9 + £3 + £3 = £21.20 ?! ) charged me £30! Didn't want to argue as restaurant was full. But put a downer on me mea and evening. Food and service is great just please check your bill before paying.

Lovely Indian & Nepalese restaurant, offering delicious meals. Two curries were ordered- one gurkhali and the other one had chicken, lamb and a prawn. Both delicious and full of flavour, really tender meat too. Side dishes were delicious- mushroom rice, gurkhali naan and chips. Reasonably priced for the meals and for cobra pints- also reasonably priced. If we were passing through again- would definitely go back. Staff were also very lovely and polite. Would recommend. Also adhering to social distancing/ masks etc.
