Gurkha Cafe & Restaurant

Food was delicious, big portion sizes, the restaurant nice, clean and cosy. Background music and the other guests were VERY quiet and sometimes it felt like everyone was listening to me and my friends chatting. Still a wonderful evening - we will be back an can definitely recommend!

Great service and food good but could be better. Indian Restaurants need to stop catering for the masses and provide good authentic food. We love Indian food and have lived in Indian and cooked all different types of recipes from scratch, using Asian ingredients. But, we would possibly come again.

Great restaurant, good food, although the Jalfrezi was nowhere a hot as it's been in the past. It was practically mild which was a shame.

Beautiful food. The lamb is superb will defo be back again. Its hidden away but id recommend finding it and enjoying a lovely meal in a relaxing enviorment

This is my favourite restaurant for Nepalese food. Just wonderful! Ambience is relaxed and friendly. Prices very reasonable. The quality of the food is exceptional.

great food and value for money..cant wait to go again

delicious food as always..great value for money...cant wait to return

I have now lost count of the times we have been to Gurkha Cafe. It is always delicious always consistent. This time we were with friends visiting from Somerset. It was busy, that did not detract from service and quality, no food left on our plates. Thank you again, you now have two more fans

The food was lovely as usual and the staff are friendly and efficient. I had the lamb madras which was excellent but, be warned, it is very hot.

Très bon restaurant Indien très bien placé dans le centre ville. L’accueil est chaleureux et tous les plats que nous avons-nous pris étaient très bons voir excellents. Attention le lieu est connu et il vaut mieux réserver (via internet efficace et rapide). Bref un bonne expérience !

If you like your currie fiery in traditional vindaloo style then this might not be for you.If you appreciate true flavours that are not masked with overkill of chilli then this will delight you.Good portion size and melt in mouth meat with cheerful service a recipe for the perfect dining experience will definitely return.

The food was excellent. My wife and I both had Nepalese starter and main course. All four dishes were delicious and nicely presented. Slight criticisms Are, starter took a long time to be served and staff could have been friendlier. Overall, a very good experience and I would recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food and service. The food was tasty and beautifully presented. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Lamb, chicken and shrimp were all tender and succulent.

Booked last minute and were lucky to get a table! Had a fantastic meal, great food and good beer. Can highly recommend the Gurkha for a meal!

A lovely authentic meal, 6 of us all had a different dish, each commented on how lovely the meals were, staff are very friendly and help you through the menu. We would definitely return.

Great food. Hit as we asked for it, but not at the sacrifice of taste. Friendly service and lively atmosphere. Good value for money too.

Excellent food friendly staff and good service. always enjoy this restaurant and visit as often as I can. Busy on a Saturday but managed to fit us in.

We were a party of six, we all had excellent food, some of the best Indian dishes we have ever had. The service was outstanding. Will certainly come again.

Excellent food. Good atmosphere, friendly staff. A good choice of options from the traditional to more subtle flavours. I would recommend that you book in advance.

Great Nepalese food, service excellent. We always may it a point to stop here when we are in Edinburgh. The price is reasonable for the quality of food.

Now been to the Gurkha Cafe several times. We have never been disappointed, the food is excellent with a service to match. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good, authentic Indian and Nepalese food.

Pleasant experience, not too busy on the Sunday evening. Service was polite and unfussy. Choice of food was reasonable, decently presented and was really tasty. Decor was somewhat rustic but in keeping with the Napalese theme. Well worth a visit in such a central location.

We enjoyed our meal but to say the sag was different would be true not what I was expecting but the only way to learn is to experiment

Thoroughly enjoyed by all. Atmosphere very relaxed and all staff very professional and pleasant. Everyone’s food was excellent in taste and presentation and portion size just right.

Lovely food, great service, great vlaue reasonable prices. Only small negative our table akthough beside a heater was cold as you got a draught when customers come in. Id have a table further back next time.

Food was excellent and a nice relaxed atmosphere. The chicken and lamb were really rich and the meat very tender. Worth a try if in the centre of edinburgh

We often go to Gurkka as it is one of out favourite Indians in Edinburgh. The food is lovely and the staff are always friendly. Highly recommended

The food was amazing, best tikka masala I have had since I moved back up to Scotland. Had been searching for somewhere that matched the ones down in England and I have found it! Absolutely delicious and the staff were lovely and attentive. Will most definately be coming back! Thank you Ruth

Fantastic meal aging and great service. Gurkha cafe have never disappointed me for quality food and service. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good meal

Sehr gutes Essen, alles fein würzig und von guter Qualität. Freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung. Bei jedem unserer Besuche von Edinburgh essen wir im Gurkha. Wir können das Restaurant sehr empfehlen.

Great food fantastic service. Smells wonderful when you walk in.got a table for 11 no problem and no issue when 8 were 30 minutes late.

Lovely restaurant, friendly service. It's not the cheapest restaurant in the world but food was extremely good and well presented. I would go back !

Nice ambiance in the restaurant. Service was fine, no rush and the waiter asked if we were ready for the main courses before it was served. Food was well presented and tasty, will visit again. Try the dumplings for starters.....

Food was amazing service was excellent will return very sòon we had a great night and very close to the train station all round great place

Lovely birthday meal food was excellent and the cocktails . Good service and lovely and relaxing . I would recommend the mo mos. they were amazing

Food was great but table was late and there is no waiting area so you are standing amongst other diners eating there evening meals. It is a little uncomfortable

I went with my dad and he is never easy to please but the quality of the food was so good and definitely a bargain! and the staff were really lovely and attentive

Amazing as ever. Best Indian food in town. For 3 consecutive years Ghurka‘s is our favourite restaurant. Keep on the good work guys we are your biggest fans.

Great meal on Saturday night during Edinburgh Fringe. Waiters very helpful & happy to explain what was in some dishes. Although lots of people were trying to get tables without having booked, we did not feel rushed to leave. First visit but will definitely be back.

Unassuming restaurant but the food is wonderful. Decently priced for Edinburgh and worth every penny for the quality of the food. Friendly service too. Recommend the dumplings.
