Ghurkha Bhansa Ghar in Ashford

I had a wonderful dining experience last night. The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. I want to specifically acknowledge waiter who served us last night. Highly recommended !!

Boyfriend and I dined here last night and WOW!! The food and service were both excellent. The young lad who served us was absolutely lovely. Food was absolutely 10/10. I forgot to photo the goat thali but it was better than most we had in Nepal! And the Pani Puri was to die for 😍❤️. Will be back!!!!

Food was delicious and on time… shout out to all the staff members who welcomed in such a warm and polite manner but big mention to little beauty miss RONI who was tremendously polite and very charming with her well spoken and helpful demeanour.

Excellent food, served by 2 wonderfully friendly waitresses, & good value. So glad we went. Thank you

Fantastic restaurant, amazing food and very friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting your establishment after hearing about the new management. I was impressed with the reasonably priced food and outstanding customer service. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience.

Authentic Nepali food experience. Good price, excellent flavors and quality. Will definitely come back!

The food was delicious, the sukuti and the service was 10/10, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any one visiting Ashford

The closest thing you’ll get to a Nepali cuisine in the UK. The service was amazing; everyone greeted in a Nepali namaste. The silverware, table, and the washroom has been the cleanest one I’ve ever been to.

fantastic food, can't wait to order from here again.

Absolutely amazing place and the food is fantastic! We loved it and enjoyed the atmosphere too. The waiter was very lovely as well. Great service all throughout. Thank you very much! We will be back soon.

Excellent Gurkha cuisine. Really nice to experience a different cultures food. Attentive polite staff who gave good recommendations.

Best onion barbies I have ever had and had pork chow main I would definitely say to anyone this is one of the best restaurants I have visited in ashford would say to anyone give it a go you will have your taste buds exited bravo to the staff and chefs

This place is so good, we visited it two days in a row! We were on a vacation which meant we were travelling all day long and we wanted a place to eat after 10pm. This place was not only open but they also called us back for us to confirm the booking. We ordered a ton food and everything was made to perfection! We are a group of indians so trust us when we say thay the Chicken Biryani at this place was one of the best we had in the UK. And their Polekos are really good! The pork was cooked perfectly and their momos had a unique taste! Definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone who is visiting Ashford or anywhere in the Kent area!

We enjoy a Nepalese restaurant close to home so went to this one to compare. It was ok but not really much more. The place was very busy, mainly with families, and the food was ok.

We dined here twice as first experience was very awesome as they were fully booked when we called but they took the time to call us back when they had a slot available and we had a late night dinner as we had no one place to go. When we arrived the food was awesome and we tried most of the options on the menu and the food was amazing hence we came back for lunch the following day. My friends will also be sharing their experience here soon. I have attached photos from my order. Must try is the C Momos and Chicken Biryani.

I came here recently to visit after hearing about the new management. It was nothing short of exceptional, the food delicious, well priced, and the customer service amazing. (a very good looking waiter too). I came here with very high expectations especially since many of my friends have been recommending it, and it did not disappoint. The chola bhatura and chowmein are a must. Will definitely be coming back again, thank you so much!

Absolutely fantastic food and service!will definitely be back!

First time coming here and was lovely, the new decor was very nice and staff were great recommending dishes to try. The food was lovely very authentic, and delicious. Highly recommend and may need to book in advance.

Visited here on a Monday evening so it was quiet. Service was great, staff friendly, welcoming, and keen to give advice on dishes. Onion bajhis were delicious and lamb biryani very tasty. Great selection of drinks. Beautiful, spotlessly clean restaurant. Fantastic value for money. Will definitely visit again!

धेरै मिठो. झानेको दाल देखि लिएर सुँगुर को कान सम्म. Delicious dishes from daal to barbeque pork. Totally would recommend.

Loved the samosa chart and chilli paneer but Egg rice was bland and rice were not fully cooked, veg chow mien was bland and had no taste.

Were missing our puri balls but they sent it out once we rang. Delicious samosas. FYI - just eat says you get 3 pieces so people might complain in future. Might be worth updating. Nevertheless, food was good and we're happy :)

First time visit to this restaurant, but really glad we did. Excellent food, great friendly service and a brilliant atmosphere! We will be going back!

food was ok but it took so long almost 2hours just for our dish.

Best Nepalese cuisine in Ashford!👍

Wow! The food is incredible here. My favourite: Samosa and goat biryani. Although we have only ordered for collection, the atmosphere in there is so nice! The owners are fantastic and I really hope the new owners of this place thrive. Absolutely love Nepalese food and the Nepalese community. I wish you guys success and I will definitely eat my bodyweight in biryani from you guys 😂🫶🏻

Today we ordered for click and collect with the new owners in Gurkha Bhansa Ghar. The food was OUTSTANDING. The biryani was the best I’ve had during my 24 years on Earth. The pork chow mein noodles were full of flavour and the portions were absolutely perfect. Really enjoyed conversing with the new owners and we will be sure to return to eat in store. You can take all my money!

Some of the best food in Kent! Super intense flavour and really delicious. Delivery was pretty quick also. Would reccomend to everyone. The only place I have been too where extra spicy actually means extra spicy.

First time ordering and the goat byrani was fantastic and authentic NOT pilau rice with some chopped up meat! If the rest of menu is just as good I’m going to become quite the regular. Well done. Superb!

I'm updating my previous review, because it's warranted. We have been going to Bhansa Ghar regularly because the food has been great. However, the place has recently transitioned under new management, and with that the food has improved further to another level. This is as of mid-march 2024, momos are perfect, the C-momos are ideally balanced, not too spicy 🔥 but just right. We have discovered the best 'bhel' in Kent so far in the puffed rice starter called Chatpate, which can be tailored to your spice levels. However the Chowmein is exceptional, we had the chicken version, boneless thigh pieces, cooked on high flame that gives the noodles a sear and smoke flavour, and again made to order without the heat for our toddler, but still full of flavour. The new management is also engaging and solicits feedback. In my opinion the best value as well as the best food offering Nepalese restaurant in Ashford.

We visited in July 2023. 4.5/5. Don’t judge a book by its cover. After a trip to the local outlet, we were in the mood for some spice. After a Google maps search, the reviews were spot on for this Nepalese place. The restaurant is an old pub converted, which does look tired in places. The service was friendly and polite. The portions were generous. We went for classic staples; momos, chicken lollipops, spring rolls and pani puri and a Thali. All delicious, nicely spiced and fresh. It wasn’t very busy but there was a steady of flow of people. Parking is across the road and fairly accessible. If you’re in the area and looking for some fresh and spicy, definitely recommended.

We absolutely love it here. The food is lovely, the service us fab and the price is really reasonable. Top recommendation is the onion bhajis. I can't explain enough how wonderful they are. It is as if they were made by the hands of angels. The pani puri is also pretty wonderful

Great food ! Momo's to die for !

delicious food, nice service, reasonable price….. sitting area not enough,

This is one of my favourite restaurants. The authentic Nepalese food is amazing. Fantastic value for money and lovely service. Definitely try the Bhatura bread.

En route to Spain via Le Shuttle, we stayed overnight in Ashford. Arriving quite late, we basically went to the nearest restaurant we could find to the Ashford Travelodge, where we were staying. They were out of King Prawns, which was a bit of a blow, as we both wanted King Prawn dishes, but the recommended substitutes were excellent and I became a convert to Gurkha food, particularly enjoying the pasta dish and the Gurkha bread, which was to die for. House wine was perfectly ok and reasonably priced and the service was friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back, if I was in Ashford, but please order more King Prawns!

Call the restaurant for a delivery as it is mentioned on the Internet only to find out they don't do delivery anymore. Then, I ordered on through the phone for collection in 30 minutes. When I got there for collection, I was pleased that the food was ready for collection. However, when I paid them on cash, they returned me 4 pence less and asked me if that is okay. (I felt like this restaurant asked for tips rather than the customer gave them willingly, so I said that is fine.) The worst experience with the food was cold. Then chill chicken momo was sluggy. Chowmin was cold. Sukuti chapatte only a few bits of actual sukuti in it and very hard to find onion and cucumber and also can't taste any lemon. Alloo- nimkee was delicious out of 4 food I ordered. It was my first experience with this restaurant, and it will also be the last one as well.

Loved it. Incredibly good dumplings Second time there all the way from London. Absolutely incredible food,tasty, decent portions and I would recommend the lassi

Very friendly staff and authentic flavours and delicious food. I have been here a number of times and never had disappointing food. You can get your food as spicy as you like 😋

Delicious Nepalese authentic food.

ABSOLUTLEY delicious! Authentic experience and fantastic food. We hadn’t booked, walked in and felt very welcome. We will definitely be back

SO GOOD!!! And the vegan options are also amazing. Highly recommend!

The food was not only delicious, and flavoursome but also very reasonable price. The service was lovely.

Oh my god, it is the best restaurant in the town. For a price of McDonalds you will get bigger and testier portion of meat and vegetables. I love pork belly in it because for ≈8£ you got a lot of meat and fried potatoes. Thank you for such good food guys.

Amazing place and scrumptious food. Chilli Pork Momos are simply delicious. Nice food portion. Decently and reasonably priced.

Stopped off in Ashford to save queueing for Dartford Tunnel. Luckily we found this superb restaurant. Obviously frequented by the local Gurka population. Extensive menu. Great food.

Excellent food, excellent value for money, excellent service! Thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the evening.

Always enjoy dining at this wonderful authentic restaurant. The dishes are delicious and look forward to returning in the very near future.

This restaurant has a nice presentation with excellent service and delicious food. Server was a nice, lovely young lady. Decent prices and portions are quite large. Visited on Saturday evening. Good atmosphere. Especially loved the spicy chatpate 🥵😍

Chilli momo was excellent, food and drink generally was tasty too. Service was okay with the food arriving in good time, but we got booked on the wrong date and had to move tables because of this. The door didn’t close properly and also people didn’t close the door when they entered/left, to be reseated right next to the door on a cold day was not that pleasant 🙃

Love this restaurant aboslutly fantastic food lovely staff and reasonably priced. A real must to try

Great food great friendly staff

Food is fantastic everything we had was really good had a little bit of spice in it! The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Very reasonably priced good selection of drinks too such a lovely restaurant.

Food was authentic and came out hot. Decor was ok, although the background music was a bit too loud. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff. I would have given a five star, if I hadn't seen a fly or two flying.

This is good place for food & programme.

I visited this resturant and for the first time tried their traditional Nepalese cuisine. I was amazing and most enjoyable. A great welcome and great service. Definitely going again!!! Brilliant, thank you!

Chilled restaurant serving lovely authentic Nepalese food.

Excellent selection of food and drink. Looking around at the customers you’ll see a lots of people with Nepalese heritage which would suggest that this restaurant serves traditional/authentic food. Certainly the food I tried was different to the usual ‘curry house’ menu. I really enjoyed the whole experience and will be back soon.

Absolutely well worth the journey to enjoy fantastic tasting food and excellent service. A very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

3 of us went Monday very disappointing staff very friendly but im afraid food very bland

The best place we have ever eaten in Ashford! The most authentic food, where all the local Gurkhas eat. It’s absolutely fabulous.

Delicious foods, very clean, lots of space and friendly staff. Highly recommend to everyone!

Great food, cosy place, friendly staff. I love the variety of delicious food on offer.

Good food albeit little delay on service on a Fri evening. Also noticed lately 2x non consumed items were added on the Bill which I should have checked during payment.

Great food, excellent value for money and friendly staff.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The staff were very accommodating. Arrived c. 19:15 and the restaurant was busy (midweek). Had time to choose my meal before they asked what drink I would like though I could have asked for a drink immediately if I had wanted one. Prices were very reasonable and there was a good choice of dishes from the menu. The staff worked well and seemed genuinely interested in their customers enjoyment of their meals. I have experienced better fare but this was very good and much cheaper than many other restaurants visited.

Better call for book the table, because a lot ppl coming there. Waitress sending positive vibes. Food is amazing. Small menu but really after dinner we can't forgot the tayst 😍😂 Very recommended

Disappointed ...they should make that clear...and why not? As a food business...it doesn't make any sense

Too delay on serving Had to wait 1 and half hour to get the food

Great food and lovely people. Recommended.

Absolutely delicious food. Our favourite restaurant in Ashford and somewhere we will return to time and time again. Thank you Ghurkha Bhansa Ghar!

One of the best Napelese restaurant and take away in Ashford Kent! 👌👍

This restaurant despite being in a converted pub? is like stepping into a restaurant in the back streets of Katmandu......... very authentic food ...well cooked , very tasty and a good variety........ but no frills. It is very reasonably priced and is always well attended by Nepalese diners which is a great sign. My son wants his 21st here .......

really yummy food. the pork momo and chicken lolipops are delicious. even serve bibimbap too. really authentic nepali cuisine

Chatpatey was just about okay nothing special not worth the asking price , Samosa was excellent. Pani Puri filling was like some red saucy aloo , tasted awful, veg MOMO was bland , I know veg MOMO is usually blander than meat but this one of the worst I've tried. seating & spacing not that great as it's very tight & compact. Staff are nice, love the look of their menu.

Due to family and friends recommendation came all the way from london twice but each time its closed all though it said opened on google. Need to update the timings. Even today it was closed on 1415.

A friend and I arrived at around 9pm on a Saturday evening, quite a few people dining inside and available tables but was shooed away by the waiter as they were closed despite their opening hours being advertised as open until 11pm. If they don't want my custom they can have my review instead. Go elsewhere.

Was supposed to be a good night, but starter arrived no napkins or cutlery on table ordered drinks no gurkar beer had to have cobra ? Main come , curry and rice good biryani Came with out egg and no Rita was told egg was runney, but still no ritata (very dry meal ))not a good evening such a shame , not a nice experience, and no discount for the not complete main meal , think will have to back with my secret dinner friend Yes

The food tasted absolutely great, so why 2 stars? We entered the restaurant and was immediately seated to an un-laid table directly by the door which was constantly being opened and not closed for the entire meal which led to a cold (almost freezing) breeze persistently cutting across our legs, feet and necks, also' the table was squeezed beside a radiator which was so hot that our elbows and legs would scald whenever contact was made. Before our order was placed a quick visit to the unisex toilets was an eye opener as the toilet door was held wide open with two ladies standing and chatting to a third who was seated on the business throne doing business stuff (I'm a man who don't embarrass easily but even I know that ain't quite the right image). Our food was ordered and I retrieved the napkins, etc to lay the table myself. Our starter came and very soon after an adorable child appeared at the table, the child was chatty and tried to get her fingers into our food on several occasions (this random in-house entertainment was repeated throughout the meal). The time between the starter and the main meal felt like an eternity which led to us ordering another starter which then turned up after the main meal. As said, 'the food was exceptionally tasty however, one of our dishes fell short of the expectation, the Chicken Biryani was missing it's boiled eggs and raita as described on the menu. This was addressed with the waiter who assured us that this was because when they cooked the eggs they cracked them open to find that they was raw..! We skipped the offer of new eggs but still did not receive the raita. In fairness, the food that we was served was probably worth +4 stars so we asked about their take away service and menu, we was promptly given two restaurant menus and told to photograph them. Sadly, we will not dining or ordering a take-out from Gaurkha Bhansa. The management of this establishment really ought to look at the restaurant logistics because the food is so good that they could make it something special for the people of Ashford.

Walked in here because we could get in at our first choice. Place was full of Napalese eating which I thought was a good sign. The food was disappointing really, very salty and served on what I think prisoners get their food on, those trays with different sections. A positive was that it was real chicken and not processed like what is served in Chinese restaurants.

Great service. Food was very tasty. Steamed momo recommended

Never been here before, have tried a few Gurkha restaurants in the past. We went on a Saturday night, glad we booked it was very busy. It took a while to pick our dishes as we were unfamiliar with those on offer. After deciding to mix and share we ordered our meals. The food that came out was well presented and tasted great some dishes were hot, but we managed them. The service was a bit hit and miss, we had to attract the waitresses eye to order extra dishes and drinks. Overall the experience was really good, we will definitely return

Friendly staff, nice place for a lunch or dinner. Food taste good and great value for money.

Amazing food, especially considering the prices. Visited twice in a short 3 day visit to the area and enjoyed every single meal on both visits. Staff were very friendly and helpful too. Highly recommended

Wow! That's the most authentic Nepalese restaurant I have used outside of Nepal. Took me straight back to Pokhara. No wonder it was full of Nepalese enjoying the food. Service was slow but the food more than made up for that

Fantastic lunch had C-Momo in sauce. Very tasty never had this before. Will order again when I revisit in future

Loved everything about this place, food was delicious. I recommend the goat curry, momos and biryani. The service is exceptional and the prices are unbeatable. Good portion sizes too. If in the area again I would definitely revisit.

Nice food, need bit organising

Food was absolutely good, with lots of varieties of nepalese type food and most is spicy with green peppers

Good food, calming ambience, good stuff.

Service delightful, food exquisite and not expensive. Only sadness is some items (including Ghurka beer) not available on the menu because of covid (also the chow mein and the king prawns). Authentic and hospitable.

Nice friendly restaurant and good food.. my kids love their momo

Great restaurant- good atmosphere, great food and excellent service. Happy Days

Unexpectedly found ourselves in Ashford for a night. Quick check of Google maps and saw this place near the top of the list. I love goat curry and my wife had never tried it so it was a quick decision. Nice welcome and quickly seated by the waiter followed by prompt and efficient service, offering advice on things we liked the sound of and answering our questions before taking the order. Good arrived in good time and was absolutely superb. Starter portions were very generous so we ended up getting some of the momos boxed up to take away for lunch tomorrow. Absolutely no complaints, food and service were superb and amazing value for money. Can't wait to come back again and would heartily recommend it to anyone.

Amazing food and brilliant service.

The ambience isn't the greatest I have seen so far. But if you have to experience authentic Nepalese food, this is the place to be.

Wonderful food, staff and atmosphere, we had a family celebration dinner here earlier in the year and planning another when we are all let out to play again. Mel Woods

Visited here with my husband for the first time last night for dinner. Very clean restaurant, excellent waiter service, really tasty food. Good portion sizes, I couldn't finish mine but they offered to box it up for me. Good value for money too quite cheap. Will definitely go again! 👍

Such a lovely place with really tasty food, it was my first time trying a Nepalese food and I loved it.
