Gurkha 3 Nepalese & Indian Cuisine in Taunton Deane

This is our “go to” Nepalese Restaurant.- and arguably the finest in the South West Padam and his wonderful team NEVER let us down - the food quality is exceptional as is the service. Thursdays evenings are brilliant with Padam serving their buffet night - which means that you choose (from the normal menu) a Starter, Main Course, Side Dish, choice of Naan Bread for an amazing £16:95! Try it - you won’t be disappointed…. Thanks Padam

Turned up to find they were booked out but the managed to fit my wife and I in and I an M so glad they did wonderful meal starter was great and the Lamb dishes we ordered were delicious and the naan light and tasty 10/10

Better than its dark-windowed fromt suggests. I had a pacy lamb dhansak (perhaps a tiny but heavy on the tomato), a roti and a half of lager for £15. The place was pretty busy. Efficient and civilised service. Just the ticket.

The food was excellent and served without delay. I came in on the off chance before going to a concert at the Brewhouse and found it was banquet night. £16.95.. for starter and main with sides.

Very disappointed, this place has really gone downhill, ordered a bottle of wine for us to share, we were given a bottle of Shiraz, which was plonked on the table, unopened, the food followed the rice was clumped together and the dish was not good at all, we both agreed that we we not be returning

We wanted something hot and spicy on a very cold winter night. We had not had Nepalese food before so decided to give it a try. The restaurant looked closed from across the road as it was dimly lit outside and inside. I feel that more people would patronise the restaurant if there were signs of life. The food was quite good and the service was okay but we felt a little ignored and folks who came in after us had their orders taken first. We had to wave to our waiter 3 times to make requests. A little more attentiveness would be welcomed from the staff. We ordered Aloo Bodi Tama with Prawns Bhuna-style. Both were very delicious though didn't expect the small prawns. We shared 2 curries and had enough to take home for another meal. Our total bill with popadoms, sides and drinks came to £33.00. Good value, great food - lovely first experience!

a great family takeaway, lovely service, and the food was very very good when we got it home, polite and pleasant staff, thank you guys

Really unpleasant experience - particularly for our autistic member of the group! One to avoid! Visited this restaurant one weekday evening with a friend on the autistic spectrum. After ordering our meal a large and very noisy family group of approximately a dozen people arrived and were shown to their nearby table by the waiter. The four children (aged 5-6) proceeded to noisily run around the restaurant, as if it were a playground - and not a restaurant - bumping into our chairs and completely oblivious of the detrimental impact that they were having on our relaxed dinner experience. This unreasonable behaviour went completely unchecked and was allowed to continue by both the so called ‘responsible’ adults within the group and the waiting staff who physically dodged round the noisy and disruptive children, as they brought our food to our table. When we politely asked the waiter to ask the group to supervise their children, and explained that the children’s continued behaviour was having a detrimental effect on our dining experience, and particularly distracting for my friend on the autistic spectrum, the waiter simply dismissed our polite remarks and requests, adding that this is a family with children so “just put up with it”! This message was reiterated by the restaurant manager who came over to our table and delivered the same message, as our food order was was brought to our table. We politely explained to the manager the children’s behaviour was entirely ruining our dining experience and if the ‘responsible’ adults and restaurant staff allowed it to continue we would simply leave to go to another restaurant that provide a calmer, quieter and more relaxed ambiance. The manager said to us that he was going to allow it to continue and after this his apparent familiar tone and body language - as he cheerily chatted to the group - suggested that the group were friends of his. The situation became intolerable, prompting us to walk out before we even so much as picked up our cutlery, so no food was eaten. We went the the bar area where we were asked to pay for the full order, including the uneaten and untouched food. We refused and said that we would pay for our drinks however it was unreasonable to expect us to pay for the uneaten food. The manager angrily said that we barred from the restaurant, which is no loss to us us, as we would not want go there ever again. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

We were staying in Taunton for the weekend and gave this place a try. We were not disappointed. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is authentic and amazing. The naan breads are soft and light. The food has a real depth of taste. If I lived lose by I would visit all the time.

We really enjoyed the food here, the butter chicken, the chili chicken and the mixed plattet were all excellent. The place hot busy so we were glad we got a reservation for 6:30.

The first time we have been to this establishment, and won't be the last . The welcome you receive when you walk in is very welcoming, the service is good and the food is excellent. Highly recommend.

A popular and busy restaurant near the cricket ground and rail station Good quality food at appropriate prices Efficient service although very busy when we went

Friendly and speedy service. Wide selection of dishes. Very tasty and inexpensive food. Only complaint - perhaps the servings are too big!

Far too much salt in the chicken Madras and the Gurkhali chicken that we ordered this time. The portion sizes are still good, but the takeaway dishes were cold except for the vegetable Korma, even though I served them within 12 minutes of collection. The nans were very poor indeed. Were they cooked in a tandoori oven? - they were no better than supermarket ones. Dissapointed.

Been here twice, Both times food and atmosphere were great. Staff attentive. As vegans, there was a good choice. When busy, be prepared to wait a little longer for your food. It’s nice to be able to sample some indo Chinese food by way of change.

Wir waren zum Abendessen hier. Alle Speisen sind hervorragend gekocht und sehr lecker. Man hat eine reiche Auswahl an Vor- und Hauptspeisen. Das Personal ist effizient und kundenorientiert.

Tried the Gurkha again after using another Indian restaurant recently, the food was average, but really sorry the young waiter that served us had such a bad table manner, we were all very disappointed with his lack of interest and manners

I’m from Sheffield and currently working at the Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. Last night I dined here with a colleague and had no problem getting a table without a reservation. Tonight, I walked in as a sole diner and was asked if I’d booked. It was quite early when I arrived and I could see plenty of empty tables and they still refused entry. This hurts as they quite happily took our money when there was two of us. I therefore had to find another restaurant and when I passed this restaurant again on the way back to the hotel I could see through the window, plenty of empty tables. This was a restaurant I was hoping to recommend to surgeons and other medical staff working at the hospital. Now you will never have my custom again and I will also tell staff members and colleagues to avoid!

What an absolutely beautiful meal we have had tonight. Only a curry house in London and Manchester beat in my opinion. All the dishes were cooked to perfection

This place is a little gem, came here with my wife, as we are new to the area and are experimenting with places to eat. Can i say the food here was excellent, nice tasty not too spicy and the service was efficient and not over bearing. Its a medium sized restaurant, and nice seating. Service was prompt and efficient. Staff were very polite and friendly. Cost of the meal was within the price range of other places in the area, we will be returning, in the future. Would recommend this place.

I came here for a meal with family. I have had a take out from there many times so was looking forward to actually going into the restaurant. The food was really great as always, although the portions seemed smaller. My only quibble was the staff, the male waiter was just quite rude. Minimal words spoken and quite sharp. It would have been lovely to have a friendly service to go with a nice family meal.

Always order 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.

Driving through again, we decided to come back to this Nepalese restaurant as the the food was lovely last time. They were very very busy but managed to find us a table by the entrance to the kitchen. - not ideal, but it was all that was available.There was a large party of about 20 or so people on the table behind us, and to say that they were noisy is an understatement. There is loud and loud, but this lot were overly loud, to the extent of it being very uncomfortable.. piercing high pitched voices! In order to try to have a conversation with each other we had to literally shout. Not a pleasant experience BUT; The food was excellent - thank you The service was excellent - thank you Would we come back again? Yes, but not if there is a table for 20+ People all trying to out shout each other .. it spoils the ambience..

I know they can produce good quality meal quite quickly as I have eaten in the restaurant before. However, I made the mistake of ordering online for delivery. The quoted time was 70 minutes. The actual delivery time was an hour beyond this and that was after I had rung the restaurant to chase progress. As a result of the delay the food was barely lukewarm. Not an experience I wish to repeat.

5 of us visited this place last night and we were not dissapointed! We were greeted by Padam and shown to our table. The atmosphere was lovely, fantastic art work hung around and traditional music playing quietly in the background. Padam was polite, friendly and attentive. He gave the impression nothing was too much trouble, even when I couldn't eat all mine and he offered to bag it for me to take home! We had a variety of dishes between us and everyone said how tasty and fresh the food was. Would definitely recommend and return!

We had high hopes looking at the reviews here. However it was not a great Gurkha restaurant. I’ve been lucky enough to eat Nepalese food served by Gurkha chefs and at the Roadmaker in Newent. The MoMo starters were hard and glutinous not the expected soft tasty dumpling I’m used to, Samosa were ok but lacked Flavor. It was very difficult to tell the difference between the Gurkali Aloo, the Himalayan Garlic Chicken and the chicken Dhansak all exactly the same colour and consistency and to be honest almost the same flavour. The nann was stodgy and glutinous on the plus side the popaduns and rice were good and the mixed pickle was hot and spicy. As I said very disappointed and 95% of the food was just thrown into the bin complete waste of £36 I would say I won’t be back but as we were visitors to the area we certainly won’t be. How we wish we’d gone for fish and chips !!! As I sit here writing this I feel that I’ve been seriously ripped off

Recommend the food and service at this restaurant. Good choice of dishes either spicy hot or not. 👍👍

Visited friends and had a delivery. Massive sized pieces of tender meat and big naan bread with plenty of sauce for dipping and crisp Baji. Really nice flavours. Was a great treat

Best Nepalese Restaurant I've been to. The restaurant was attractive and spacious, the staff were friendly and attentive and best of all the food was superb. The Gurkha beer went down very well.

A group of 4 of us met up for a meal out- the first time since the Pandemic. We had been to the Gurka3 years ago and enjoyed it then- this time it was even better than we remembered. Our mains varied from the Tandoori Grill, Himalayan garlic Lamb and the Chilli Chicken - all were delicious and together with the Rice, sag aloo, nanns and other such side we had more than enough on our plates and it was all delicious. Service was prompt, efficient and I cannot wait for a return visit.

Super meal for one. The staff were pleasant and attentive. A nice bottle of Gurkha beer while viewing the menu. There was a mix of traditional dishes from Nepal and Indian staples. Tandoori lamb kebab was tender and delicious

Home delivery meal arrived exactly on time and was delicious, I will definitely order from there again.

Sadly tonight’s order failed to deliver! Nearly a two hour wait for it to arrive after being given time of arrival on order. Some of the dishes were cold and had to be re-heated. We have ordered from here for many years but recent orders have been extremely disappointing, I am sorry to say .

Such a shame that another good restaurant has fallen victim of becoming commercial to people’s taste in the UK.Originally when we have ordered from this establishment the food was always on point, very tasty, flavorful, and delivered hot.Recently when we have ordered takeout from here the food is just above tepid when it arrives, but lacks the ZAZ of a good Indian restaurant.The chicken tikka might as well have been a watery tin of Heinz tomato soup with some coconut and a sparing pinch of spices and a drop of cream. The special rice was so cold and oily I could have drained it off and fried an egg in a pan with the excess.And the naan breads and the rotis were so glutinous and Stodgy, they clearly were made with no care and attention.It’s such a shame as this restaurant was always the best Indian in Taunton for both take away and eat in, however the lack of care and attention that we have received on both times we have ordered takeaway and eating in once l, we won’t be able to eat or order here again.

We went for my birthday celebration to this restaurant and we all enjoyed our food it was tasty and the service was also good

Excellent takeaway. It was a treat for our wedding anniversary and our sons birthday. The food was delivered in good time. Excellent meal. My first Nepalese meal. I loved it

COVID ... what COVID !! Worse place I’ve ever been. Table of 6 ( sometime 8 !) sat next to us . No mask , standing up when even , coughing and think it’s funny . Staff ... did nothing . Even when on two a occasion I bought to your attention. Paid and left very quickly !!

Firstly have been here many times before and always enjoyed it, but not for a while... I phoned on Saturday 3rd October at 5pm to order a takeaway to be delivered at 6pm. I even said to the guy on the phone 6.30 was fine if they were busy.. “no it’s fine we’ll be with you at six.”6pm comes and goes, no contact, can’t get through on the phone and food eventually arrives at 6.40pmThis put a spanner in the works as food was also being cooked in the house for 6 for other members of the family. Naan bread bland and cold, Lamb Bhuna was just ‘OK’. All in all I wouldn’t use again. Sent an email to complain about the lateness and refused a reply saying they’d consider not offering delivery in future!

Four of us ate here during the 'eat out to help out' scheme. We had heard really good things about this restaurant and had never eaten there before. Sadly we won't be going back. The front of house service was very poor. Our waiter barely made eye contact with us, didn't engage with us at all, and made no effort to make us feel welcome. The food was uninspiring, my husband's vegetarian dish had lots of oil in it and was very greasy, my salmon was tasteless and rather dry. To be honest we would have got a better meal if we'd got ready meals from M&S - and it would have been cheaper too.

We ordered pompardoms for starters and a main each. Waited over an hour which we don’t mind if it’s freshly cooked. When it came out it all came together when pointed out to waiter he didn’t see what the problem was and half heartily offered to take mains back to kitchen. Have to say the two curries we had were excellent and full of taste. Another thing which put us off is they rolled a trolley up by us and started clearing a nearby table scrapping the left overs on to one plate this should be done in the kitchen not right next to us when we are eating our meal. Shame as food was good.

Arrived 6.30 stsrters came quick but main meal took some time to arrive. More concerned with takeaway orders. No wiping memus after each use. One waiter was not wearing mask and got quite close to.guests. wouldnt go again

I’ve been told that this is a great restaurant and it probably is however on this occasion we were severely disappointed. Online order for pick up with 10% of fantastic, husband went to pick up didn’t check the order as he trusts that in the very least they will have the order correct.... wrong. No naans, wouldn’t mind but there not the cheapest of sides costing £6.00 for 3, poppadoms that cost 75p each were all shattered to shards .... rice was shocking in the smallest foil container, we used to get 2 between 3 of us, no chance. Lamb passanda well I needed a magnifying glass to find the lamb.... half of the container is sauce. Not good value for money. I get that the covid has hit people hard but this is a big kick in the teeth for trying to support local businesses. Paid a whopping £42 for 3 people for a takeaway.... nah never again. Oh forgot to mention no one picks up the phone so other half had to drive back, by the time he got home everything was cold and frankly appetite gone. I will not be going there again.

We ordered a takeaway online for collection and it was delicious! The portions were huge and the chef didn’t scrimp on the meat! Very friendly staff. Hand sanitiser was available on arrival and the staff left our food on a table to collect to avoid contact. Would highly recommend!

This must be some of the best asian food in taunton/somerset. incredible variety of meat and veggie dishes on their takeaway menu. Brilliantly cooked and amazingly tasty - full marks to the chefs! We collected, but think they offer delivery also. Waiting time... one minute!

Recently visited this lovely restaurant. The staff are always friendly and the food is always excellent. Always hot, very tasty with good sized portions.

We booked in here as a large group of 16 on a Saturday night and were taken care of very well , the food was interesting variations on the theme , as it was Nepalese as well as Indian cuisine . The restaurant was really busy, but the food came up quickly and was enjoyed by us all ! The staff were always smiling and good natured even though they were obviously under pressure .

After ordering a delivery that supposed to be 1 hour it was 1hour and 40 minutes until we received our food called them to tell them it was very late didn't even get an apology it was cold and bland and greasyonion bhajis were cold and soggy and very Grady so was the stuffed mushroom starterTERRIBLE AVOID

1 hour 40 minutes waiting for our meal, and they had forgotten one of us.Food tasted great but was cold.They seem to give priority to takeaway customers as constant stream of bags going from kitchen to front counter.Staff seem not interested in looking after their tables.Maybe give this place a miss at weekends and try it on a week night

Super quality food, with the ubiquitous and beautiful momos excellent service, wide ranging variety, unique curries and Nepalese food. Just luscious, we only wish thy were closer to our new home - come on chaps open another in Glastonbury ! Please ! If you love Asian food, love unique curries and polite elegant service, this is the place for you, and if you over indulge when ordering, they will pack the remains up for you to take home so you get a super addendum for lunch the next day

Excellent food, with a large range of choice and loads of flavour. Cosy, pleasant atmosphere, quick service and reasonable prices.Only negative was when the waiter dropped a dish and splattered me in curry sauce which permanently stained my shirt, with little more than a brief apology. This could have been handled better, but it was just an accident.

Invited here for family birthday meal for 15 people .never been before but can say it was very nice indeed. Staff fantastic made sure everything was as it should be . Food was hot & tasty and plenty of it.thankyou for a lovely evening.well worth a visit.

My husband and I decided to go to this restaurant with my parents for a special New Year’s Eve meal as not been for a couple years and remembered it to be top notch previously... well, after last nights fiasco we may not be returning... when we showed up there was only 1 table occupied so pretty empty, this we thought would be ideal as we would be served pretty quickly.. how wrong we were! Due to the restaurant having many telephone takeaway orders (which you could tell as many people were turning up to collect their food and go) we waited ages to have our order taken and then around an hour and a half for our order to turn up to our table! We had asked twice how long it was going to be and kept being told 5 mins! This was obviously to keep us waiting but it was clear they were trying to sort their takeaway orders as a priority! On the last request I was not happy and said to the manager that if the food wasn’t out in 10 mins we would be leaving! When the food came out it wasn’t the full order and 2 of the meals were luke warm! Extremely disappointed with the whole situation. By the time our food arrived there were other guests who had sat down that were also complaining about the time taken (and lack of apology) from the staff! When we went to pay the manager did give us a small discount and agreed they had stopped taking telephone orders as they were getting too busy, but to be honest, our special evening out had already turned into a stressful and disappointing one! The food itself was ok, albeit not as hot as it should have been, but they have let themselves down as we won’t be returning anytime soon and we will certainly go somewhere else. Shame

Have been here a few times and last night the service was slow. Food not quite as tasty as it has been previously. I had the Chicken Balti which was way too salty.

Regularly get takeaway from Gurkha 3 so it was nice to sit in and eat for once.

Comprehensive menu but food just about average. Would go here again but wouldn't rave about it. Fairly centrally located and relatively easy parking

We have visited Gurkha 3 many times and, in my opinion, this is the best curry house in Taunton. Great menu and service, always a good atmosphere and excellent cuisine at reasonable price. WILL BE back again soon.

Have visited here before multiple times and the food and service is fantastic, however this recent visit was slightly poor and not up to usual standard. The restaurant was almost fully booked, and after ordering for a table of seven, multiple tables began getting their meals whilst we still hadn't received ours. After waiting for over an hour, we asked multiple waiters who each time disappeared and didn't come back to explain. When the food finally came, some of the dishes were cold, and we were missing one meal. We inquired several times for this meal and again went missing for 15 minutes plus before it finally came. Despite this, the food is still amazing and really good value for money, I assume the service was poor due to having overbooked the restaurant and not being able to cope.

Friday evening visit. I have been to this restaurant previously and been impressed, unfortunately this visit was disappointing. Booking a table was easy. No welcome on the door, basic if clean decor, no table cloths etc. Wine ordered which was left on the table unopened and the waiter disappeared. I am not in the habit of carrying my own corkscrew so we sat for a few minutes and after being ignored went to the bar to get the cork removed. The Chablis was nice and cold but was mediocre at best (not corked so not sent back). I had lamb sekuwa to start which is diced lamb cooked with onions and spices. Hot garlic chicken for main, chana masala, rice and “bullet” naan. Over all the food was underwhelming. Starter tasted only of cooked onions, main had large pieces of raw garlic in it, naan was nothing special. Service was poor. Over all it was quite a dissapointment.

Visited very early evening on a Tuesday so no problem getting a table. All the food was excellent. Himalayan curry delicious. Service great. The Gurkha beer worth trying. All In all top.

Came here for the first time to try the buffet, all in all was a nice meal. Had three curries to choose from which were all tasty. However I do think there wasn’t quite as much choice as you would expect from a buffet could have done with a few more options. The restaurant is clean, nice setting and a peaceful atmosphere. Thank you !

Our latest visit to the Gurkha was a group of 15 friends from work some new to the restaurant and some firm fans. It was a Thursday as well so a good deal for the meal. Lots to choose from and all very fresh. There are so many Indian restaurants in Taunton but in my opinion this is the best.

Dined here last night, 21/9/19, and really pleased to go to a restaurant where Gluten is clearly identified on the menu. Able to choose a meal easily and the food was excellent. We all choose Nepalese dishes and they did not disappoint. As for price we had 4 starters, 4 main, 3 rice, 2 sides & a Naan bread with 8 drinks for £112. We thought really good value for good service and food. Will visit again !!

My wife and I had been recommended this restaurant. What a great disappointment it was. The female staff were incredibly rude and the food was at best seconds rate. We love Indian food and it was a no brainier that we would have Indian for our 27th anniversary meal. We ordered chicken dhansak, a favourite of ours, which tasted like it had been made with a cheap tin of tomato soup. So disgusting we couldn’t eat it. We left and won’t go back. Such a shame as we now have to find a different Indian for the next 2 years in Taunton.

Very open and airy restaurant, good place settings and decor. I ordered popadoms that came out with the starter which I found unusual. The starter had great flavour and I enjoyed it although not the best I have eaten I have no negatives. The main I had was like a sauce pre made and then meat thrown in, no chance for the meat to take on the flavour. The flavour of the sauce was good but felt that the meat was an after thought. Overall I would eat here again as the waiter was polite and friendly but some of the staff did not appear as happy yo see customers.

Visited this restaurant with my family to celebrate my niece’s birthday. It was a Thursday evening which was really busy. However the service and the food was second to none and we were all looked after really well with attentive waiters ensuring our glasses were full and our needs were met. Strongly recommend this place - even on a busy night. Will return.

Well can say the food is excellent but that is it as the service was so slow only had one drink with the meal all night as getting another one was a no no.

We got some take away from this place one evening after a cricket match. We had to wait an hour for our food to be ready (an hour from the time they told us it'd be ready to collect). They said it was down to the cricket crowd that descended on the restaurant, which it could have been in part but an hour is still too long. However the food was very good and very plentiful. We had the rest for lunch the following day. Would order from there again.

Can't remember how many times we've eaten here. Great food, great service, great value. What more can you ask? Will be back soon. Best to book in advance.

Best Indian around for about 20 miles.

Tried the Thursday night meal offer. Great range of foods. The food was excellent, the price was reasonable and the service was good. The best Indian restaurant in Taunton.

Good food as well as value for money. In addition friendly staff who deal with requests benignly. The variety of cuisine is wholesome as well as widespread.

Twice for evening meals and will go again. Comfortable and quiet with friendly staff. Quick service, good size portions, well cooked tasty food.

Great deal on a Thursday night when you can choose any starter, main meal with rice and a naan - tried something different and was not disappointed.

This is the second time I have eaten here. Last time was OK, but didn't set the world on fire... I was hoping for a better experience this time as I was hoping that was a one-off...

Went to this resturant not knowing anything about it. Food excellent, we had the buffet which meant you could try small bit of different things, great idea if you are not sure of what you would like, then you could go back for more. trouble is you might over indulge. would highly recommend.

Fantastic food at a sensible price. Plenty of high quality tasty food, served quickly and hot. Nothing to complain about, we will certainly recommend this restaurant, and will be back for more.

Lots of locals were clearly regular visitors - a good sign.

I love Gurkha 3 - the restaurant is fab and the food is amazing... but when we order home delivery it takes aaaages. One time it was over an hour and a half and then the delivery guy didn’t have change so we paid more for the privilege. I wouldn’t get home delivery again but I would still thoroughly recommend the restaurant.

Extremely enjoyable - I am a frequent customer. Whilst expensive (particularly drinks), the portions are a great size and there is an excellent Thursday meal deal (£13.95 Banquet). Great atmosphere and superb service. Far superior to comparable Indian restaurants in Taunton.

Myself and my partner had chicken tikka masala and chicken madras as our main meals. Sauces and chicken were very tasty. The sag aloo had more spinach on it than we would’ve liked but was still delicious. Would definitely go back again

Went to the Sunday evening buffet. Food was cold and there was lots missing. Told the staff but still took 20 minutes for more food to come out. Disappointing meal.

Never had a bad meal- either eat-in or take-away; staff always friendly and attentive. Would not go for a curry anywhere else in Taunton!

always lovey Service. Friendly staff. The curries are amazing, I would say the best in Taunton. Loads of vegetarian choices to choose from. We always try and visit once a month for a couples date night.

Best curry in Taunton and reasonably priced. Have been here as a couple and in a group, each time has been excellent, would highly recommend this place

Suitable location with all Nepalese and Indian foods. Totally hygienic and friendly peoples and lovely to visits and eat food with Nepalese flavours . Proudly it’s the Gorkha Three resturant .

Had a works Christmas party here, food was amazing , good value for money and the staff extremely quick and helpful, and very efficient.

Very tasty, authentic food and a great variety on the menu. I usually do a bit research before going out for dinner whilst away with work, but I didn't have time and I stumbled accross Gurkha as it's close to the train station. The service is average - not checks to see if you're enjoying your meal, and the head waiter was just sat down by the entrance on his phone, greeting people as they entered, then back on his phone when they were sat at their tables. Still, excellent food and excellent value. Under £24 for starter, main, side, rice, naan, poppadoms and a pint of Cobra! (yes I was hungry!)

Fabulous food, shame the majority of waitresses are extremely rude! They need some training in being polite!

Beautiful quality food- delicious. Fantastic service from all staff. I would highly recommend! We will return for sure.

We have booked a table for 4 this evening. We have ordered some drinks and they arrived quickly. Food orders consists of poppadum, two starters, 4 mains, various rice dishes and nann bread. I have lamb tikka as starter, follow by chicken jalfrezi with nann bread. Starter is good and plenty. Main is good too - but not warrant an excellent.

Just wanted to say yet again a superb meal at Gurkha 3. Best Nepalese /Indian food in Taunton. Or even Somerset.!

I think this restaurant is the best Indian in Taunton. The addition of Nepalese dishes adds to the attraction. The vegetarian options are also very good.

Love this place. It is our go to place in taunton if we want a curry to eat in or take away. Great food and friendly staff.

Not much to say about this place except the service is good and the Nepalese Chilli chicken is the best. The dhal is also excellent as are the rotis.

Ate here early on a Friday evening. Good food, portions & value. Certainly eat here again if visiting

Pobably the best Indian restaurant in Taunton. The place is spotlessly clean, the staff are friendly and the food is plentiful and of generous proportions.

We booked a table to the Gurka 3 as it's a favourite for the in-laws. Despite having around only 3 tables seated and them gladly accepting us 1 hour earlier than our booking it took over 1 hour and 40 minutes to receive our main and when we received it wasn't as good as usual and there were items missing from our order. Normally this place gets a 5 star (and I have been here 8 times in 6 months) but today was awful and not so much as a genuine apology from the staff. I try to put this down to a bad, busy, understaffed day but very disappointed and will seriously reconsider going in the future.

Walked in on the off chance off a table on a Wednesday evening. The Restruant was surprisingly busy for mid week, staff were very attentive and helpful. The food tasted excellent and was very well presented,Definatly a vote for the best Indian in Taunton.

Having walked up and down the main street pressing our noses against several Curry House windows, we chose to eat at Gurkha 3.

Best Asian food ever eaten...fresh..tasty..would have been 5 but for crap slow service. You've been warned et
