Gurkha Cafe & Restaurant

Excellent service, great food and great value. Our good friends a regular at the gurka and they gave us a discount. We have been several times and always a great experience.

Excellent for all the family, meat eaters and vegetarian equally pleased. They do not hold back on the spices so hot means hot too which is the way it should be!

Good service, wide choice and good value for money. It is open on Monday nights which many restaurants in the area are not. This was my third visit.

Excellent Value for money. The fish starter alone makes it worth a visit. Good selection of meat & vegetarian options on the menu. Will definitely be back.

Great great food. Was really busy as you'd expect in the run up to Christmas. Service was fast and efficient. Good value for money. What's not to like?!

Arrived early on the off chance our table would be ready and it was. Food was plentiful and tasty as always. Will definitely be back.

All the dishes were so delicious and tasty and the service was good 😊 the price was also very fair. Overall we really recommend this restaurant.

Food was excellent. Service to begin with was also excellent, but slowed down dramatically as the restaurant filled up.... We waited patiently to get desert menus for half hour, then gave up, paid the bill and left, as we had an appointment to be somewhere. So in conclusion, tremendous food if you're not in too much of a hurry.

Braw! Great atmosphere and superb food and service. Braw! Great atmosphere and superb food and service. Braw! Great atmosphere and superb food and service. Braw! Great atmosphere and superb food and service.

Excellent food, friendly service. Would definitely recommend. We ate every last drop of food. In fact, I'm going to go back next week for more!

As always excellent food and service. Very generous portions and the naan bread is not to be missed. Well worth a visit when in Edinburgh.

Food was brilliant and it was very reasonably priced for stick acentral location. My only fault was the lack of lime pickle with the pickle tray, other than that i can't fault it!

This was our first visit. We have struggles to find a nice Indian restaurant. I think we found it. Service and food excellent. We had a very relaxed evening with friends. .

Service a bit slow but food good. Sst behind front door which was a bit chilly. Even on weds night v full and walk ins turned away if no reservation.

Excellent food and attentive service. Lots of meat in the curries which is always good. I had the 'hot' jalfrezi and found it a little mild, will ask for extra chillies next time.

The Gurkha Cafe is our go-to place for a curry. The staff are friendly, they remember who you are even if you have not been for a while and last but not least the food is very tasty,

Tasteful and intimate decor, excellent service and mouthwatering food at a mid range price. Worth every penny and can't wait to return to this fabulous establishment!

Food was delicious and very excellent. Unfortunately, restaurant was very busy and after a very large party arrived, service was simply awful. Could not get the attention of the servers, didn't ask if things were alright, couldn't get another beverage, waited far too long for the table to be cleared and even longer to get the bill. Servers seemed to look away from the customers because they were overwhelmed. Very unfortunate because the food really was terrific.

A little gem, cute and homey restaurant. Very nice, welcoming staff. Delicious food with very generous portions (we had to take half of it home!). Thank you for a lovely evening!

Absolutely fantastic. The restaurant is centrally located and delivers what it promises. The portions are quite large and, as usual, we ordered too much. But what a feast!

Great food and welcoming, friendly staff. Portion size for the mains is more than enough for one person. Only downside (for me at least) is that the amount of Nepalese dishes is less than expected.

Brilliant lamb dish and the korma was best my partner had ever had. Really nice place and the staff are lovely too. We will be back.

Nice and pleasant evening. Food was of good quality and service was attentive. If I was suggesting improvement, it would be to extend the menu and differentiate from Indian restaurants with more and better described dishes from Nepal.

Lovely restaurant with amazing food and extraordinary service. It's our favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. Try the Nepalese tea and the mango kulfi. Doesn't matter what you order, every dish is fabulous

An outstanding meal and excellent, friendly service in a lovely, cosy setting. Every dish we ordered was delicious and the staff were helpful with helping us choose sides, we will definitely be back!

Excellent food, generous portions and fair prices. Only minor grumble was popadums not crisp .. Sent them back but replacements no better .. How can they get that wrong ?!

Step in the door and transported to a mountain hut Friendly staff. Food was lovely and fresh. Lamb khutta just fell off the bone. The lightest naan bread ever!

Food was really good, attentive (but not overly so) service. We had the Mo Mo chicken which was worth the wait (menu says 15 minutes and it was just under that)

Food was very good. The length of time it took to receive food, however, was a problem which seemed to abate for customers who came in later in the evening.

This place is simply great. Terrific food and a bustling atmosphere. the service was still top notch despite the place being full on a Friday evening. Recommended!

We. Had a great time chicken tikka. Starter was the best ever had asked for different rice got it no problem service was friendly and excellent wouldn't hesitate to go back

Excellent service, great dishes (Mo Mo particularly good). Good range of chilled beers. Overall, a most enjoyable evening with fine food and drink. I will be back.

Excellent welcome. Busy and great atmosphere. Service slow to start but then good throughout. Menu interesting with wide choice including several fish dishes. Food fresh and tasty. Enjoyable evening.

A small place but it serves some Great food and has very nice staff. We tried the chicken Mo Mo and they were delicious. Our other choices could not be faulted also. Make sure you book though

Lovely meal with very pleasant staff,what more can you ask for . Chicken mo mo absolutely yummy a must for next visit and really good portions for mains

Great central location and food was fabulous with a variety of choices n great value for money. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Fourth visit to the Ghurka Cafe over the last three years. Food and service consistently good. Great atmosphere and great location. Advisable to book as the restaurant always seems busy. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent atmosphere and food good service. Simple as that to be honest. Thanks for a good evening and would recommend to anyone for a good meal

Lovely food and atmosphere. Chose this restaurant because it was near to our accommodation. Would recommend the mixed starters and the lamb biryani and the curried lamb shank.

Excellent food and overall a great value menu with good service. I would highly recommend and shall visit again during future trips to Scotland !
