Gurkha Bar and Restaurant in East Lothian

Not complaining ahaha i got double the food that i ordered

Wow what a taste fest simply outstanding food staff really nice and attentive loved it and will definitely return

Foods was fantastic as always. Always arrives hot and fresh

The staff were incredibly welcoming, very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was amazing. A new favourite. What did I wait so long to try this place. Best currys around. The momo is amazing.

We recently moved to the area and this is one of the best takeaways we have had in the five years living in Edinburgh. Food tasted amazing and the portion sizes were reasonably big! Definitely our new go to restaurant

Absolutely amazing food and staff so attentive

Great service. Delicious food. So much depth of flavour. Presented beautifully. Momos and chicken lollipops are fab. Wife's curry was melt in the mouth!

5 of us and every dish was delicious. Friendly attentive staff too Well done Ghurka

2nd time ordering and loved it again! good prices fast delivery and wonderful food !

Fabulous food as always . Will always be our favourite

Beautiful food, lollipop chicken was 10/10 I will be ordering from gurka in future

Excellent food from one of my favourite Indian restaurants/takeaways. Arrived much more quickly than expected but that's a bonus!

Food great service fab really nice atmosphere

First time visit, was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint, staff amazing, and food was fantastic 👌 top quality, I will definitely be back

One of the best biryani in town a lot of flavour and spice. Amount of portion was more then expected and price was reasonable and all staffs were friendly.

Staff are so kind and friendly. You are made to feel at home and that it is a pleasure to bring food to you. The food is so beautifully prepared and the sauces are exceptional. Thank you for a delightful evening.

This really is the place to go for an Indian meal. The restaurant itself feels like a special place to go and the food is amazing, even the simple dishes are better han I've tasted elsewhere. You won't be disappointed. Service just right too

Relaxed and traditional environment, delicious food with a huge range of options for all of the family. Service was attentive but not intrusive. We all had a great time and will continue to return. No point looking any further.

What a lovely, award winning and extremely friendly restaurant and I love all the decorations and awards around the dinning area which has a lovely atmosphere and is very clean and welcoming The menu is vast and has so much choice and decided to try something new which didn't disappoint Really nice flavour, nicely spiced and way way better than the last curry I had in the area a couple of weeks ago who's name escapes me but I did review it. Really enjoyed it and so did my work mate so we will definitely return next time we work in this area 💯

Thought the food was of really high quality - very tasty and they obviously have very talented kitchen staff. I was disappointed with the service though - it was busy but not full - and yet it took quite a while to take our order and we weren’t offered dessert menus (which we were waiting on). In the end we just got the bill and heading off which was a shame. I’ll give it another chance though as the food was worth the visit.

Excellent quality and service yet again from Gurkha! Can’t recommend this place highly enough

Absolutely lovely meal and experience. From first stepping in the door to finishing our delicious food . Everything was perfect. Food was delicious veg momo were divine ! Main course also delicious obviously fresh ingredients used - flavoursome and beautifully cooked. Staff attentive and appropriately timed checks in on table … Nothing could have made this better ! Ambience - very chilled and peaceful - just what we needed ! Thank you !

wonderful food as always, not greasy and extra poppadoms and chutneys free!

I came here with my girlfriend for some dinner and drinks and it was amazing, staff were very polite. Nice environment. Couldn’t say a bad word!

The food was okay but both main courses were not warm enough temperature wise and the pickle tray was disappointing for the price paid and the peshwari nan was soggy. Disappointed as really looking forward to our meal based on other people’s reviews which did not match our experience!

Had lunch here today, absolutely beautiful, all served piping hot and the waiter was very attentive. My husband ordered a lamb jalfreizi, when the food arrived it was chicken he had been given. I called the waiter over and explained the mistake to him, he apologised and asked us to wait one moment. My husband, not wanting to cause a scene said, it's ok Ile just eat it.....within a few minutes the waiter was back with lamb jalfreizi, he had picked the wrong one up from the kitchen. He told my husband just to eat the two if he could manage...he did!!! He also gave us both a nepalese tea on the house which was beautiful. Excellent customer service and the food was beautiful, thank you team Ghurka

Delicious food! Really tender lamb in both dishes, and the prawn starter was exceptional.

Good food, great prices but rather busy and noisy. Staff attentive and kind.

First class. On time, hot and tasted amazing

I went to the Gurkha with my mum and sister for dinner. The service was excellent, the staff are very friendly and polite. It has a nice chilled out ambience and the sandalwood burners give it a nice aroma. The establishment looks very clean and well kept and the staff look bright and smart. I had the Chicken Tikka Saslik it was very tasty and I would definitely recommend. Very flavoursome meal around. I've been here a few times over the years and it has never disappointed me yet. If you're in musselburgh looking for a lace to eat I would highly recommend.

Firstly, the food is delicious! It's quite pricey for a takeaway, but restaurant quality food. Take my advise and don't get a delivery! We had been driving all day and didn't want to go out again, so ordered at 5 to 5pm. Phoned again at 5 past 6. It arrived at 6.20. The food was lovely, but sadly it was lukewarm. Must've been out for delivery for a while and wasn't hot enough. We paid just under £40 for 2 mains, a rice and 2 naans and delivery. Quite alot for lukewarm food that needed heated up. Went thought that as it was early and the website and on the phone was told it would be an hour at most, that it would've arrived sooner. Later on in the night would no doubt take alot longer. So don't hesitate to go to the restaurant for a meal, which we've done in the past. But beware about a delivery. I don't normally leave negative reviews, but just want to want people as no-one wants cold food! Especially when you've paid so much for it!

Best curry house in East Lothian. Go there

The food was delicious as always. Wouldn't order from anywhere else.

Excellent curry on NYE, with the restaurant very busy but service was still good. Food in general is a notch above other similar restaurants

Was going to go into the restaurant but weather stopped us so ordered a delivery but this place is next level food is amazing and portion size huge well worth the money definitely going in restaurant next time so I can thank them face to face 5 stars from me

Great food as always. Customised our order to make one main extra hot - perfect ! Mains have plenty of the main contents (chicken & king prawns for us). All the food was hot when it arrived too ! Look forward to our next order ! 👏👏👏

The people and the quality of the food was and is excellent

Best restaurant in Musselburgh. Food excellent

I find that for the last 10 years it is really hard to get a good Indian meal any more in Edinburgh but the meal I got last night (Lamb Vindaloo) was fantastic and I will definitely be ordering from them again

Great food. This has to be one of the best restaurants in the area. Lots of meat in the dishes and tasted absolutely amazing.

Came along at lunchtime Saturday, Amazing food and amazing presentation and great service, also done kids portions which meant they could share some starters to taste would highly recommend

They gave us extra food and it was delicious - thanks so much!

I recently visited Gurkhas bar and restaurant with my friends and it was a delightful dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely exquisite. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing fresh ingredients and impressive flavors. The quality of the ingredients really shone through, and you could tell the kitchen takes pride in using fresh, local produce. The presentation of the dishes was equally impressive, adding to the overall appeal. As for the service, it was top-notch. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The wait time was reasonable, and our orders were delivered promptly. The ambiance of the restaurant also contributed to a great experience—clean, cozy, and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a casual dinner or a special occasion. Overall, I would highly recommend Gurkhas bar and restaurant for anyone looking for delicious food, high-quality ingredients, and exceptional service.

Food was 5 star quality, absolutely delicious. Kids portions where also adequate. Staff attentive and the food presentation was outstanding. Will definitely be back.

Placed my order for 8pm which turned up 2 hours early. Was collected then a new order redelivered to find one of the dishes was wrong. Bit disappointed as never had any issues before.

We were here from the US visiting family and decided to find some local Indian food. We loved this place. Cozy and welcoming. The food was truly delicious and the service was very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!!

Food was lovely will definitely order again was fresh and chicken was lovely

An amazing night , the food was delicious, and the staff are so lovely. Would highly recommend coming for a nice family meal.

Food was amazing, the staff were so accommodating and nothing was too much of an ask. Would definitely recommend and come back when next in Edinburgh

Wonderful food and service. It was rhe best curry I have had. I highly recommend a visit to this amazing Indian restaurant.

Food was absolutely SUPERB! Could have been a little more on the hot side, but the taste was brilliant!!!

One of the best Indian takeaways I’ve had for a good while!

unfortunately you never gave me the spiced onions I ordered Don't deliver now please refund

Have ordered from Gurkha many times without issue. However this time the food arrived over 1 hour late and it was stone cold. very disappointing

Really tasty food and plenty of it

Food was quite cold and had to heat up in oven

A wonderful experience and delicious food!

Delivered by young woman who was very polite. Food excellent as per usual from Ghurka

Beautifully flavoured food, spicy but full of flavour 🙂

We went here for a meal last night, four Adults and two kids. The food was pretty decent, nice tasting and ok portion sizes. The service was lacking though, we were given the wrong breads, and had to wait on the correct ones coming, we had to ask three times for drinks/ water before it eventually arrived, and the waitress was trying to take our plates away while I was still eating my starter, had to tell her to wait a bit! Atmosphere wasn't great, felt like we were being rushed a bit.

We have been to the Gurkha on numerous occasions and thoroughly enjoy it, service is normally 1st class and food is lovely. However, we went last night and we were so disappointed. The place was so busy, they had the tables crammed together, you felt like you were having dinner with strangers, they tables were that close. We had not even finished our starters when our main meals arrived at the table, when I asked the waitress to take it back she refused. A couple next to us had a larger table and the waitress asked if she could dispose their table to allow another couple to sit between us the man refused however the waiter then came over and divided the tables. The waiting staff were rushing all over the place resulting in two of the banging into each other and food went everywhere all over a customers clothing. Felt like we were eating in a cattle market. Won’t rush back as it spoilt the whole experience.

Came here for a date night but would also be great to meet friends (or even alone). Lovely service and great food, as a vegetarian there was loads to choose from.

Excellent experience the food is delicious and the service was excellent. Very reasonably priced. We have eaten here numerous times and would highly recommend.

Went with my partner and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent service and delicious food. We would definitely recommend and will return

food was cold when arrived, the curry has a weird taste to it like it's off. gurkha used to be really good. won't be ordering again

Absolute gem of a restaurant. Had a lovely afternoon meal, great spicing, good portion sizes, no skimping on ingredients. The booths are really comfy. Liked the decor: prayer flags are a nice touch.

The paneer tikka was great but the saag paneer smelt and tasted stale, like it was spoilt . We’ve ordered so many times from Gurkha so this was quite unfortunate.

Delicious Indian food. Excellent job of finding us in our Airbnb apartment and couldn’t fault the food.

We had to wait 2+ hours for the Chicken Momos which we eventually took away with us as they arrived as we were about to ask for bill. We weren't charged for them... but, the waiting staff did not appreciate the situation and kept offering meaningless excuses. We tried at least a half a dozen approaches to get them to take the situation seriously. The Lady I was dining with had bad experiences on two previous occasions also. We only went there because I fancied something spicy and the Thai restaurant was closed on a Tuesday.

Been twice now and everything has been superb would totally recommend

We dined here with friends, have been many times and can see why they have won various awards. Service and ambience is very good...however food is delicious. Pickle tray and Poppadoms is worth trying. We shared Haggis Pakora and Onion Bhaji. Wide variety of curries however standout was Lamb Burkheio? Only slight criticism is we did feel slightly pressured to order food and also things were cleared away in a rush but apart from that a great meal. We are lucky to have Gurkha in Musselburgh... thank you!

Excellent dinner. Highly recommend the haggis pakora, channa masala, pan-fried sea bass, saag aloo. Great service.

Will start by saying food was delicious but delivery service was rubbish. Waited 2 hours after site saying 1 hour and a phone call to ask where our food was. Not happy with way phone call was dealt with as they were also serving a customer in the restaurant at the same time.

The food was late, we called the restaurant and they told us it had left and was out for delivery. Food arrived and unfortunately it was all cold.

Been so many times I have lost count.

Best Indian restaurant in Musselburgh Licensed Food always hot,well prepared,service good,prices reasonable Recommended

Fantastic food. Stopped in on the off chance, and was more than pleasantly suprised, great food, the staff are friendly and attentive. Will definitely pop in again when we're next back this way.

Went there Sunday,for a carry out,It was delicious. Generous portion sizes,had to keep some for next day. Keep up the good work team Gurkha.

Visited on a quiet Wednesday night. Wonderful food and super friendly service.

Really good. 10 times better than Kohi-Noor

Food was look warm. First time. Disappointed

The food is good quality and tasty, but by the time the food got here the majority of it was cold.

This hasnt arrived. Shocking yet again from Just Eat

Love this place food immense sometimes feel a bit rushed but staff in general are lovely don't come to east lothian without having a evening meal here , and they happily give you tubs for doggie bags 😀

Good hot food and large portions. Very tasty . Delivery guy was very friendly and pleasant. A great curry, thank you 🙂

Food was excellent and appreciate the generous portions!

Booked for later last Saturday. Arrived to ready table and helpful staff. We got the mixed pakora and mixed kebabs to share amongst 3. Great variety and excellent quality. The pickle tray even acts as a guide to the heat range of the meals themselves. A vegi Byriani, chicken tikka Byriani and seek kebab arrived as mains and again the quality was exceptional. Seek kebabs with a combination of chicken and lamb kept them a delicious consistency. The whole evening was a lesson in customer service we watched the staff deal with some professionally difficult customers with nothing short of text book, engaging them with empathy and a genuine understanding of the customer perspective. The food here is phenomenal, noticed a sign promoting a chief of the year 2024, it’s well deserved. The waiting and other support staff take that creative skill from the kitchen and enhance it with customer service that puts the diner at ease. Brilliant find.

An hour and a half delivery food cold

Really good food, helpful and patient staff

Seating to close wine far to dear ,you can get zinfandel wine in Aldi for £3,99 you sell it at £21.50..

Been here several times now , Ideal setting for a friendly meal out food was excellent, portions were enormous.. staff are lovely as always

I never received my order and I’ve not had a refund I’ve contacted both just eat and the gurka

Excellent friendly service, delicious poppadom and chutney. The mix grill could have used more spices, but very fresh. Nonetheless great for a date!

This place offer great selection of curries. Brilliant choice and first class execution. Highly recommend this place.

Excellent service, very relaxed and accommodating staff, stunning food and what a choice. Best in class. No more to say.

My brother and I actually visited twice last week such was the quality of the food and service. I tempt fate about once a year and go for a vindaloo, it was superb. My brother had the mixed grill selection and all was beautifully cooked and flavoured. We had a starter selection in advance and all was tasty. A couple of Gurkha beers too just for research purposes! The 2 waiters were most friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend.

Quick Saturday night meal with the (not adventurous) kids. What a beautiful meal, such varied flavours. Would definitely recommend!

as always. a great meal. getting a bit expensive for what you get.

I arrived to find various signs that the restaurant has won the Scottish Curry Awards. Perhaps a bit unfairly skeptical of the jury, my group reserved judgment until we had tried the food for ourselves. We ordered the chili momos, two curries, and doubled down on the momo vibe with the momo platter. There ought to be a Scottish Momo Award as the chili momos were absolutely perfect. I'd come back to Scotland just to have these again. The curries we tried were fantastic as well, convincing us that the Scottish Curry Awards carry some prestige. Great banter from the staff, who never once suggested that we might not be able to handle spicy foods. I always call out restaurants for being rude here, so I also give praise where the waitstaff takes a customer at their word that they're accustomed to spicy food.

Really really good food! arrived hot and quickly. would recommend!
