A lovely family meal to celebrate my son's birthday, the food and service were fantastic. Attentive servers without being imposing and it was much enjoyed by all - thank you
Prompt polite service and delicious food,we will definitely be returning to this restaurant to try something else on the menu,what more can you ask for?
Great evening celebrating my daughters birthday with family, good food and excellent service as always, we will definitely return with the family again really soon
Very nice restaurant, good food and nice decor A+ :) Good for large groups also. We have been twice now and would not hesitate to return.
Hard to fault the ambience service and food were superb and the check exceptional value for money my only downside was the chosen taxi firm hired by Gurkha to take us home no never and asked for twice the price we aid for the arrival journey we challenged and he remitted should not happen and perhaps Gurkha could consider renegotiation with a different firm
My wife and I had a very enjoyable evening. The food was very good, though there was more than enough! We were, however, allowed to take away leftovers in a doggy bag. The service was good. However, I did have to point out that I wished to retain my wine glass, to have a glass of wine after my initial soft drink, and my wife had to remind them about the coffee she had ordered.
The food was very good hot and bough out in a timely manner, the staff were helpful nothing was too much trouble more than happy to highly recommend the Gurkha Village.
The service and food was very good. The curry dish was cooked without the masses of oil you tend to get served up with on Indian restaurants. The only negative are the desserts where these restaurants let themselves down in that they are bought in ready made!! A little thought and home made would have gained them full marks.
First time at a nepalise restaurant and even eating the food off this culture. We absolutely loved it went with friends and shared most meals. Staff were polite and friendly and food was amazing. Would definitely recommend the place and we will be going again soon.
very nicely laid out restaurant with conservatory and rear gardens. Staff were friendly and very helpful - we did not feel rushed in our meal. Food was on a par with the better of the Indian/Nepali restaurants around the Oxford area - not brilliant but actually better than most. Yes we will eat there again.
Good selection of food. Average price. Only complaint would be with speed of service. There was quite a delay serving our main when starters had been cleared. We were only a table of 4 and the restaurant was only about a third full. Overall 4/6.
Our favourite local Indian restaurant. Lovely food, all freshly cooked to order. The drinks are also reasonably priced and the staff are welcoming and attentive. We come here regularly.
We have been here a good few times now, and it never disappoints! I've always been impressed by this restaurant! Great food, great service! I'd definitely recommend a visit!
Fabulous service & food. The staff couldn't do enough for us, very reasonable prices. We will be going back!! Highly recommended, plenty of parking available. Overall a great night.
Lovely welcome and great food. Service was very good and prices reasonable. Definitely worth a visit. A good menu with a selection of 'monthly' chef specials which was nice.
excellent food in a close location. Good mixed indian and ghurka menu. Friendly staff. Price excellent. Only wish they could amend their payment system to allow addition of tip.
The food was excellent and the service has improved, well done a very enjoyable meal. A return visit is planned in the near future as a nice treat.
Party of twelve friends for a Saturday night out was made very enjoyable by all with the fantastic food and service, thank you, we shall be back.
Great food, great service, lively ambience. Good beer - just right to go with a good curry. Really enjoyed our evening. Will definitely go again!

Great food, service as usual. Love proper tablecloths & napkins. Good value too. There were 4 of us & we all had a good meal.
Lovely meal, authentic flavors, pleasant staff who are both calm and efficient. Would recommend for couples or groups. Plenty of parking and a very good selection of beers!
Had to wait a bit in between courses but there was a big party in the restaurant. Staff very friendly and courteous as usual. Food excellent as always
Great night good food, all hot and tasty, service was fairly good a little bit slow at times but was busy and was no problem for us
The food was quite good, it was much better on my previous visit, probably down to choice. Drinks were OK, but that was due to lack of choice. Service was OK, felt a little rushed, but it was not busy in the restaurant.
This restaurant is a real local gem. Offering a wide selection of lovely food in a friendly, pleasant environment, the service is discreet but attentive.
The food was excellent It was very noisy near the kitchen though. The staff were talking to the chef very loudely to request orders and take them to tables.
It was a lovely meal, as usual but the service is always slow, even though it was not particularly busy. The staff are always friendly.
