Gurka Restaurant, 36-38 Fore Street, Saint Austell, Pl25 5pa in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We have visited this restaurant many times, the food is very good and not generic like some similar restaurants, some of the dishes are unique to this restaurant including the excellent naan breads, light and tasty and not bloating! I try something different every time we go in, they will adjust a dish to suit your taste! The service is great and friendly, and they have purchased new chairs and tables which are very comfortable! However I would like to add some constructive criticism, the decoration looks very bad, and not professional, also some of the staff could tidy themselves up a bit, maybe a nice pair of trousers a white shirt and maybe a waistcoat! I am in hospitality so I know that a well presented member of staff is a plus! Hopefully you will consider my observation, and we look forward to our next visit!

First time here and it did not disappoint, friendly staff, great service and the food was fantastic. Will be making this a regular eatery

Nothing good to say about this restaurant. No ambience. Decor poor. Food very poor. Service ok. Not sure why it’s rated over 4.

A truly great restaurant, you won't be disappointed. Decided to have dinner here during a recent trip to Cornwall. Was pleasantly surprised and surpassed my expectations. Staff were friendly, kind & attentive - adding to the overall experience. A menu of unique dishes that are exciting & really work, capturing a variety of flavours. For a regular lover of Indian cuisine, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. A perfect end to a wonderful evening. Johann

The waiter, Rupesh, was welcoming, helpful, informative, professional and friendly. Rupesh asked us which table we would prefer as it was very quiet on a Monday evening. He helped us choose our meals as we were unsure how spicy and tasty some of the items on the menu were. The menu was extensive so should satisfy anyones requirements. All the dishes were very enjoyable. If there was a downside it was trying to find the restaurant as we don't know St. Austell well. The decoration was bright and not to our liking but hey they weren't pretending to be Grand Designs! A family run business

Fantastic food! So sad that we were just visiting the area and that this isn’t my local place. Naans were perfect. All the dishes we ordered were delicious and spiced to perfection. The staff I spoke to were so friendly too. I would definitely recommend this place.

Excellent meal with really helpful and friendly waiter Rupesh. Menu was very varied and interesting, all food was delicious. Don’t be put off by the approach to the restaurant. Would highly recommend

We arrived in St Austell after a long day in the saddle cycling from Helston and needed somewhere to eat. The restaurant staff were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was bright decorated and clean. We enjoyed a range of tasty dishes from their buffet even though the buffet was only available if you pre-booked it which we hadn’t. Highly recommend if you’re staying or visit St Austell.

I have been here with mine friends last night …all the meal were nice but king prawn rasilo was superb. Will be visiting there again…such a lovely gesture and a great food..thanks

The chitwan bazaar was amazing loved the flavors and I loved it. definitely be ordering that dish again and coming back.
