Gurkha 3 in Taunton Deane

We recently visited Gurkha 3 to celebrate my brother-in-law’s birthday, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. Despite the restaurant being very busy (a clear sign of its popularity), the service and atmosphere were warm and welcoming, creating a lovely environment for a gathering of family and friends. The food was exceptional. My wife enjoyed the Chicken Bhuna, which was bursting with flavour and perfectly spiced. I had the Chicken Korma, a creamy delight with tender chicken that melted in the mouth. We also shared Peshwari Naans, which were light, soft, and had a wonderful hint of sweetness that complemented our dishes beautifully. It was a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience, and the quality of the food and service exceeded our expectations. Gurkha 3 is a place we would visit again and wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves Nepalese and Indian cuisine.

The best food in taunton clean friendly and good price 👌 I ordered regularly my children love the food for here ....definitely recommend 100%...

Lovely fresh prepard and interesting cusine. Great value.

Didn't have a chance to order over the phone so ordered in the restaurant. Arrived at 18.55, and ordered 3 starters, 3 mains and a couple of sides and poppadoms. The food was finally ready at 19.40! Restaurant had maybe 3 tables to attend to in the restaurant. Not great service, considering they weren't busy and others had arrived after me, ordered, and been given their food before me. Will think twice before returning...may be time to find a new indian takeaway for me

Just popped in to collect take away. Service was good. The food was superb!

Really fresh and tasty dinner, will order again soon.

Really worth finding this restaurant to eat in rather than ordering a takeaway and sitting at home. Great tasting food, not overly hot but full of flavour.

Everything we got was very nice 👌😊

The best Indian restaurant / takeaway in Taunton. Have been coming here for over 15 years and the food is always fantastic. So much flavour and brilliant service.

Super good food, and a lot of it! Tasty, great value for money and the staff was extremely polite. All the people at a table of 8 were very satisfied with what they ordered.

Nice food and welcoming staff. Thank you

Been her twice, both times good service, bland food.

Gurkha 3 is a wonderful restaurant, food is always top quality, served hot and fast with large portions. Staff are always friendly and handle anything with ease, a very efficient team. Service is always fast, surprisingly so at times which is great. Nice atmosphere and everything is very reasonably prices considering the quality. I have come here many times and have never been disappointed.

This is the best restaurant in Taunton. It is also the epitome of the Gurkha way , Humble , Kind , Polite , all with food cooked to perfection. Thank you for the great meal!

Thank you Gurka 3 for a wonderful evening. The food and service was amazing, especially for a table of 27! You were so professional and accommodating. We will definitely be back. From all at Taunton Gang Show 🙂

Friendly environment and services Excellent authentic test.

We've just had a indian takeaway, and my lamb madras wasn't what I'm used too,it was far too salty very bland and I hate to say this but I've had better curries from supermarkets.Certainly won't be going back there.

Superb food! Prices reasonable!

Best Indian in Somerset. Always fantastic food and delivery service. Use every week and can’t fault.

By far the best food in Taunton. Very friendly competent staff. Everything fresh traditional Nepalese delicious food! Applause to the chef, management and staff 👏

Visit regularly and always so pressed with the food. The ghurkali chicken is a favourite!

We visit Gurkha 3 every year during a lads’ weekend and are never disappointed. As a peanut-allergy sufferer, I tentatively visit Asian restaurants, but Gurkha 3 always look after me - and don’t have peanuts anywhere near their menu, so are as safe as I can hope for. As is my custom these days, I went for the Himalayan Lamb Curry, which packs as much punch as it does flavour. Succulent lamb pieces in a delicious chilli garlic tomato sauce. Precede it with some poppadoms and accompany it with some pilau rice, a garlic naan and a brace of lagers, and you’re onto a winner. All for around £33 a man. Can’t go wrong.

Best curry in taunton at normal price.

A great place to go for a Thursday night banquet!

Had a wonderful meal at the Gurkha last week. It was everything I wanted and more. Thank you!

Came to the restaurant for my wedding anniversary. Was greeted with happy smiling faces, food was absolutely amazing !!!! Genuinely full of flavour and well presented. Would most certainly recommend to anyone and will be coming back to eat in and get takeaway too. Thankyou to all the staff. Excellent.

Always a warm welcome, never been disappointed with the food and service always excellent.

About two weeks ago, we were looking for a place to eat before catching our train, and the kind staff was happily able to fit us in even though the whole restaurant was basically fully booked. The food arrived quickly and all our dishes tasted amazing. The prices were good as well. Thanks again for having us! :)

I love this place and frequently order. The food is amazing. Tonight they added spice when I had put “ not spicey” on the notes section when ordering online. It was HoT! When I phoned to say there was a mistake they said they would replace it and within a short time had delivered another. Excellent customer service.

Absolutely delicious food. Try the gurkha specialities. Very generous portions. Recommended.

The dining experience left much to be desired despite the good quality of the food. The service fell significantly short of expectations. While we were promptly served popadoms and drinks initially, we encountered an hour-long wait for our curry to be served. There was no communication to update us of the delay, and no one asked if we needed any more drinks. This lead to us going up to the front desk and ordering ourselves. After finishing our mains, an extended period passed without any effort to clear our table. There were similar delays when attempting to order desserts, leaving us with a sense of being overlooked. We had a further wait when requesting our bill and seemingly no one was interested in taking payment. We expressed our concerns about the service to two different members of staff. The first member of staff acknowledged our concerns and walked away after hearing them. We assumed perhaps he had gone to get his manager. However, he didn’t return and no action was taken. Similarly, after we got the attention of another member of staff he acknowledged our concerns but again walked off and we were left to our own accord again. Around ten minutes later, after seeing this same member of staff folding table cloths, we realised we had probably been forgotten. We proceeded to the main desk to settle payment ourselves. We were in the restaurant for three hours during which we felt neglected and forgotten. The service was extremely poor and made for a disappointing experience.

Been using this place for years and not too bad, but lately the food is either burnt or raw. Won’t be using again don’t want to risk food poisoning.

One of the best Indians in town! The Nepali Soup is absolutely amazing! I recently brought my family here for a meal as they were vising from abroad and they absolutely loved it! The service was spot on, they were very quick and polite, and the food was delicious! It was the first time they had a proper Indian, but they couldn't stop talking about it afterwards, they were that impressed. Would definitely recommend bringing family or loved ones here because they never disappoint 👌🏻 thank you!

Lovely, food, atmosphere, staff. Should try it, you won't be disappointed

Summary: Visited on bank holiday weekend with family. Great food, good service and decent value for money. Location: On the high street of Taunton, this wasn’t just another British-Indian restaurant. Easy access and plenty of parking on street outside. Ambiance: The restaurant is not too big but ambiance is nice and cosy. It can get too crowded too quickly and therefore noisy too. Not an issue though. Facilities: It has a bar, decent sized tables and comfortable chairs. Toilets to use but not in the perfect condition and not very clean. Wouldn’t rate it lower for just this. Service: On our visit despite bank holiday the restaurant wasn’t overly busy but near to full. We sat down and ordered drinks and shortly later starters and mains. The food arrived quickly but overall staff isn’t the best trained for hospitality. It’s just average service. It’s hard to get staff’s attention and therefore it can take a while to get your needs met whilst eating/reordering. Practicality: For a niche cuisine restaurant this place is very well placed location wise. Easy parking outside. Opening hours are reasonable. Their online presence is good which allowed us to find them and book a table over a phone call at short notice. Value for money: The items were fairly priced. Quality of food was pretty good not at all British-cised. Authentic Nepali-Indian cuisine. Portion sizes were also better than average Indian restaurants. Pros: Food. Menu variety. Value. Cons: Service. Overall cleanliness. Items to order: Momos, Aloo bodi tama, Banta and Gurkhali Mix Veg - all breads were good too. Items to avoid: Samosa, Chana masala Highlight (if any): Starters were brilliant. Momos were too close to authentic Tibetan/Nepali momos. Food items have good selections.

Food is absolutely amazing. Incredibly tasty and the perfect portions. Service is friendly and subtle.

Really enjoyed our meal from here. Will definitely come back

We drive from Bridgwater to Taunton, especially for Gurka3.

We had a relaxed, delicious filling meal here. Curry as mild or as spicy as you choose. Had too much but we're given containers to take the left overs home!

First time there, dining in, delicious food. Nice atmosphere.

Great food, large portions and extremely good value.

I always order food from this restaurant and sometimes we gp to eat I'm there but is the only restaurant so clean and the food is alright fresh and hot and very good price..... I love it 100%recommended

Excellent restaurant offering a variation on the typical Indian dishes. Very popular so it can take some time before food arrives. Not a place for those in a hurry! They serve a very good bottled no-alcohol beer.

Really lovely experience. Food was excellent

Fantastic restaurant great food

We have bought from Gurka eveytime we want a curry for the last 5years sadly our resent experiences especially the inability to actually put garlic on their naan even when asking every time for extra extra garlic and the gurkali chicken was inedible as it was extremely hot compared to normal. It’s a shame but we have to look elsewhere in future.

We regularly drive the 20 minutes to collect our food from here as it’s by far the best Indian in the area. Always fresh and absolutely delicious. Booked a surprise meal with a very large table of 22 and still the food was outstanding!! No mess ups, food was piping hot, no long waits and great service with a smile. We can never fault this place!!! Thanks ghurka 👍🏼

Amazing food and really friendly staff. The banquet night is great value for money.

We've dined out here on a number of occasions now and the food is always delicious. However, there is a long wait for food to be cooked and served when you are dining in and the staff seem to prioritise takeaway orders. The restaurant always seems chilly inside too. Recommended for excellent Indian and Nepalese food in Taunton. No parking so you'd need to park in one of the town centre car parks, on Morrisons car park or catch the train or bus (railway station is less than 5 minutes away).

Went here with a friend after moving to the area a couple of years ago. Finally found a decent Indian restaurant/takeaway 😌

Excellent food. Staff very busy but did what they could to be helpful

We live around the corrner so we visited a few times already - as a couple, and in bigger groups. Every time the food is delicious and the service is lovely. Highly recommended, can't wait to visit again!

Well tastless indian takeway ever.ordered potatows has fish smell.curry is runny and tastless.No even sure if it was cooked or just heated curry from budget shop

Great food, great company. We will be back!

I’m disgusted in what has been sent to me through delivery, not only was the manager rude but he started using foul language towards me after I asked for a refund for the food he messed up. Quality of food was not the best either

Hadn't been here for a few years due to lockdowns etc so thought it was worth a try again and I am SO glad that i did! I could not fault anything. All 4 of us had something different that we hadn't tried before and all 4 dishes far exceeded expectations. I regularly eat out and have eaten at all the main competition, if this is the regular standard then this has too be the best in the area. Superb 5*

Always ordered lamb briyani from Gurkha 3. Portion was right to reflect the price. Enough pieces of tender lamb meat and curry. Very dissapointed to see the portion of curry veg reduced to half. Indeed very sad to say even the meat is reduced to 2 pieces. Shocking. The price paid for is not cheap. Not sure I want to order from here again.

If you want AMAZING Indian food and a friendly atmosphere this is the place to go! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Very good quality, taste and service.

Absolutely lovely food and I truly mean lovely. Thank you

Great evening. We were a large party and everything ran smoothly. Food was fantastic possibly the best curry I've had.

Not bad grub seeing that we haven't been there for a couple of years or so

Nice menu, good food. Parking requires planning as nothing outside. Shame buffet has been stopped, really hope that comes back. Bit slow or taking orders and asking if you want a drink or popadoms. Once food came out it was enjoyable. Keema nann had meet inside, unlike some places which don't. Overall pretty good and would look to return. Ideally they need to bring back the buffet!

Always wonderful food and amazing service. Best in Taunton! 👍

Nice place and very nice curry's 👌

Very tasty food, especially the daal. Friendly service. Felt comfortable as a solo diner. Would recommend.

Brilliant food! We had a home delivery and it was excellent quality l. Look forward to eating in

Beautiful food excellent staff clean

Amazing place. I was not very keen on curries as such, but I had this place really recommend it and I decided to give it a go. I do not regret it. The food is delicious, with very generous portions, and very nice service all around. We have become regulars!

Absolutely delicious food. Can’t recommend enough. Great menu, outstanding service and food. Go try them!

What can I say. Been here in taunton for 10 years and that was mind blowing. We had a takeaway the himalayan curry with napali daal and I was absolutely blown away. The flavours were impeccable. Im a chef myself and have been for over decade, but these guys will make your taste buds go wild with delight. If you're in doubt and reading this ..... go for it. You won't be disappointed.

It was a very good dinning experience

We have eaten a few times here, and had take away. The food and hospitality is always the best. We had king prawn meals with sides, and it was amazing.

Beautiful, tasty food. All the flavours you'd want. Nice environment, helpful staff at fair price. I would go again.

Had a take away curry, lovely food great service

Best place to hang out! Mo Mo is awesome.

A fantastic restaurant with great food and friendly atmosphere. Price is reasonable and staffs are very friendly and helpful.

Decent and authentic Indian taste. Modest ambience, courteous staff, would recommend

Good food, standard menu, good portion size.

Stunning food, very authentic. Service could be improved though.

Amazing night food great staff brilliant

Friendly staff nice and clean food spot on and reasonably priced

Wonderful food, generous portions. Friendly staff. The Everest curry is a particular favourite. The only down is that we live just outside the delivery route......

Went there with friends from London and they didn't let me down. Have only ever had great food at Gurkha 3. Loved the Gurkhali chicken. Don't hesitate, just go there!

Whether eating in or getting it delivered its a great meal, helpful friendly staff and tasty food , 5 stars

Phoned for takeaway delivery and was told they would phone back in 5 mins as they were busy an hour later and I am still waiting tried phoning but they are permently engaged so have now ordered from the bay leaf got straight through and it will be here in 45 minutes so Ghurka lost a large order I do not understand why they didn’t just take my order and tell me how long it would have been not impressed with Ghurka customer service

We got the take-away and were not disappointed. Very nice curry and at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend.

One star does not reflect the food as I can only say this is exceptional, however having been a regular customer for the last year in Creech St Michael closer to the New Mill and ordering frequently, they decide to no longer deliver here. Very disappointed even offering a £10 delivery tip. I certainly wouldn’t be turning away the business during these unprecedented times!!

Ordered online for collection. Food was ready when we got there (which is always a good start). We had chicken dhansak and chicken vindaloo. Both were delicious and a bit cheeky (but not too much). Rice portions aren't big enough to share (not a negative, just an observation). Lovely curry. Thank you.

Amazing! Will definitely be back

Excellent food and service, the only down side is wine and beer were expensive.

Top service, highly recommended!

Yummy and generous portions of food!

Smaczne Nepalskie potrawy, dodatki i Piwo polecam z czystym sercem

Great food! Nice service.... Try the specials

Was expecting much of this place due to great reviews and a little disappointed. Not bad. Himalayan Garlic Lamb and Butter chicken were delightful.

Late and cold comes to mind!dreadful delivery service!took over an hour!food was cold and not great!won't use them again!

Lovely chicken korma lovely moist egg fried rice beautiful flavours recommended

Picked up a take away last night, Chicken korma was watery, Everest curry was average, the Keema Naan didn't have much flavour, same with the potato Naan, the Saag paeer was bitter. I have eaten inside the restaurant before and it was really enjoyable, however the take away was not up to a good standard, I feel paying £70+ for this wasn't worth the money at all.
