Went for a birthday celebration and what a fab evening it was. Manager was extremely helpful when I had to make a last minute group booking after being let down by a different establishment, and was very accommodating. Great choice of delicious food that is great quality and well presented. Lovely atmosphere, and really friendly and professional staff. Really lovely evening, wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

My friend and I had an absolutely fabulous evening at Da Mount Gurkha. The food was exceptional in all respects. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable, which was great as we had not eaten Nepalese food before. Everything was very tasty, and a extensive menu to choose from. We will most definitely return when we are next in the area.

Finally tried this place and it did not disappoint! Food is so delicious , tastes fresh and light. Staff absolutely lovely, he didn’t push us to order more and actually suggested we share rice and bread instead of ordering for each of us. The curries and plain bread were so tasty. We will definitely be back! - great pricing too we were pleasantly surprised when our bill came.

This is a great place, all of the food is really good and Nepalese cuisine gives you a different set of cuisine and flavours. It has won an award in 2024 as best Nepalese and with a commendation for the chef. I can only agree. Portion sizes were good and left me satisfied with a starter curry main and rice. The breads looked great as well so I might go for that next time. Vegetarian options went down well for those who had them and no one felt short changed in that regard. Service was quick and unobtrusive which is my preference. I would not only happily return but will look forward to doing so

When you enter the restaurant it looks very nice nice decor and pictures, the ladies toilet,what a let down, it needs a makeover not very clean so this turns me off, if a restaurant doesn’t look after their toilets. It’s not a good start. 4 small containers of chutneys not enough for 2 people. Main meal was good but small we had to ask for extra rice has you only got a small bowl. garlic bread couldn’t taste garlic. We did enjoy but I was expecting a lot more due to the awards. we have had better but so disappointed

Never knew I needed Nepalese food in my life until I visited Mount De Gurkha. Been several times now service is always phenomenal, always accomodating and really friendly. Every dish I have had is great portion size and an incredibly tasty, excellent value for money. Special shout out the the Lamb Shank on the Chef's specials, up there with one of the best individual dishes I have had the pleasure of having.

Lovely Nepalese restaurant. Our food was excellent, very tasty and beautifully presented. I don’t often order lamb curries, but took the risk based on the reviews and was not disappointed. Very tender, very well cooked in a lovely Achari sauce. Plenty for vegetarians too. The service was very friendly and attentive. And prices reasonable too. Altogether a great experience and I’d highly recommend.

We went here last last night after reading a review in the local newspaper. On arrival the greeting was very warm. We sat down and a waiter came and took a drinks order all good, shortly afterwards they came and took our food order. All good so far and then………. A large party started to arrive and it was obvious the lead person booking them in was known to the restaurant staff hugs kisses etc, that’s when things went down hill. We had ordered another round of drinks, they didn’t arrive but the large party next to us all their drinks arrived,so I prompted the waiter and they eventually arrived. The dips and popadoms were lovely the food we had was very good. We waited and waited and waited for some service none arrived but the large party next to us we’re getting VIP service, so I went to the bar and ask for the bill and paid they sort of apologised to late. Treat every customer the same. Will I return, not sure .

Eaten in the restaurant many times. Always well presented with lots of flavour, not the best, but really good. On the restaurant experience alone, I would give a 4 star review. As a takeaway however, the food doesn’t travel well compared with other similar cuisine in the area and this isn’t just based upon this occasion. We had a specific issue this evening with popadoms being in bits on pick up (no biggie), more problematic is the absence of the dips in-spite of us paying for them (realised this on plating at home). We live a 5 minute drive away, but in instances like this we shouldn’t have to go and pick them up again, which is what was offered on ringing up. “I will remember you next time for complimentary poppadoms and dips” also not a good enough answer, sorry and you also didn’t even take enough details to really honour that either, not that we would be in a rush to order again anyway. I could clearly hear the manager/owner speaking to the person on the phone, giving him the answers, which is disappointing really. Just come to the phone and speak to me in person when you have made a mistake to offer your own apologies and rectify the situation. If this doesn’t happen very often, arrange for someone to drive it round the corner to us.

Went again last Monday. We tend to go around twice a month and it is really the only restaurant I go to. Tripadvisor only allows reviews at 3-month intervals or I would write more. The food remains consistently outstanding. I like spicy food and almost always have the same things. Chicken Pakhete to start followed by Chicken Namche or Chicken/Lamb Dhede Khursani with Lasooni (garlic)bread. Service is efficient and friendly. I think a recent bad review relates to another establishment with a similar name. This place is faultless.
