Gurkha Chefs in Mansfield

Excellent meal, lovely place and great service

I never write reviews but this place deserved one. My partner being a brummie knows his curries. We've tried many places but this deffo gets 5 stars I had the lamb saag the lamb was succulent and the flavours were amazing. He had a chicken balti and said it was one of the best he's had this side of birmingham. The keema naan was full of meat which you don't often get. Massive potion of chips. Well worth the money will highly recommend and will 100% order again 😀

Food was stunning. Tastes like a real homemade curry and nothing like most takeaways who add loads of sugar and colouring. The sizzling meats were amazing and even our fussy 9yr old who ordered nuggets and chips was tucking into to the meats and tried all the curry's. Lamb samosas were really nice. Brought loads back with us. Will be hard to beat this place for food!

Fantastic meal as always Walked in for a table of 5. Always great service, child friendly , kind and approachable. Great value for money. Always a pleasure to visit

Fantastic restaurant. Good Nepalese indian food Excelente quality price. Nice staff.

Had a take out from here but first time eating in. Service was lovely and friendly and very quick from ordering drinks to food arriving. The food came out really quick and tasted amazing. The portion sizes are very generous. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be going back 👍

Food in my eyes is always lovely

Father's Day Meal. Very enjoyable. Great food and service. Very comfortable atmosphere. Had takeaways before first dine in. Reasonably priced. Well recommended

Very nice. Delivery could have been better, took 3 attempts. However, small refund given and they were very apologetic. Food is very nice.

Had a great meal here. Ordered a Nepalese starter and main, the Gurkha Rifle in particular was delicious! Attentive service, good food and a pleasant atmosphere. Hope to go back next time I'm in the area!

Ordered tonight and food was very tasty delivered hot and quick will come again thankyou

First time using Gurkha Chefs, we had a order to collect... I will definitely use again! The food was great! Service was polite and fast. Five ⭐

Absolutely brilliant. My wife and I went there for a birthday meal having had 1000 Indian meals but never a Nepalese. We were not dissapointed. Nice place very clean. Pleasant and helpful staff and wonderful food. Very reasonably priced and we will 100% return . One tip. Don’t eat the mints. Not what they seem 😂😂😂😂😂

Birthday meal with my wife. Food excellent as per usual and staff very friendly. Would recommend without any hesitation!

I book for a group of 15. We had amazing food. The service was excellent and the whole event was fantastic. We are definitely going again as a group

Exceptionally tasty curry, wholeheartedly recommended

Such a lovely place . staff so helpful and friendly. The food was delicious , it’s nice to try different foods but still have the Indian favourites to fall back on 😁will definitely be going back .

Ordered take away. Food was amazing. Portion sizes very generous. Service very friendly. Will definitely use again

Spam calling for no reason. I don't even live in Mansfield.

We have had many meals at this restaurant, but last night 24th feb we decided to have a set meal for 2 delivered. 5 star for service and a speedy and friendly service from delivery driver, as usual excellent food all round thanks Big Al an Sarah

Great food. Was a good recommendation. Food hot and good service.

Great restaurant, with plenty of choice 👌 Smart, friendly and professional staff. The take-out menu is fab and the delivery option is swift too 😋

Went for a New years eve meal Lovely food Great price and good staff

Very nice place with friendly staff. The food is absolutely amazing, after visiting them some time ago, we regularly order their food with delivery. I especially recommend momo, the dumplings 👌

Christmas day lunch, it was excellent value for money and friendly customer service.

First time trying since the new management took over. Fast delivery to farnsfield, food very hot and very tasty. Big portions, good value for money, spot on! We will be returning!

Great resturant. We went for my fathers birthday as a large group and they managed with sucess to please every person in the party, get the food out together at same time. The food was great and good portion sizes. Thanks all

(Delivery) delicious food, hot, lovely flavours.. everything absolutely delicious not a fault wrong. Delivery driver friendly. Overall wonderful would definitely order again and recommendation for anyone else to order also.

Excellent food. Can personally recommend the Lamb Everest Masala

Absolutely amazing , the service , the food everything .. will definitely be going back. The best Indian meal I’ve had in a very long time

Freshly cooked authentic food. Very tasty and generous portions. Highly recommend.

We tried this place tonight and we’re really impressed. The Momo starter was fantastic, curry was great - different to normal but in a good way. The service was top notch, all the guys in here were brilliant and they obviously had a good relationship with the regulars. We’ll definitely be coming here more often

Very Good Food, Very Good service, staff couldn’t be more helpful, had a table in restaurant early Friday evening, not busy got a table straight away, no hesitation in recommending. 👍🏻

What a gem this is. Simply put the best food of its type we have ever had. I have no concerns about recommending the Ghurka Chefs to anyone. We both had complete different dishes and they were all absolutely outstanding. Please give it a try - you will not be disappointed I am sure. It also has its own secure car park. An excellent dining experience Paul & Yvonne

Second time eating here.was in a party of 7 and all rated it as the tastiest curry we all have had. Really amazing.staff great,service perfect and food absolutely amazing.highly recommend 👍👍

Brilliant restaurant! Amazing food and the staff were amazing. Couldn't do enough. Will definitely come again

Really good food, very friendly staff. First visit, I'm sure it will not be the last.

One of the best foods I have had for a long time with a fast service and lovely design and the workers are amazing

We had a lovely starter and main meal for 2, with sides aswell. The place is clean and comfortable and the staff were lovely. The food was delicious and portions were great for the price we paid. We even took our leftovers home with us. We will definitely be visiting again.

Went Friday 7.00pm 1/09/23 Fantastic food good choice and great service, would recommend to anyone who like Indian cuisine.

1st time using Gurkha Chefs was an absolutely faultless with beautiful food hower the 2nd time placed an order on a Monday at around 4pm for COLLECTION on just eat but our order was cancelled...and the restaurant was all of a sudden 'closed'. Two conflicting bits of information on Google and Just Eat.....

Would highly recommend. Food and service fantastic. Will definitely return. Thank you.

Reasonable food...but all sauces for our 4 different dishes, tasted the same!!

Really good quality food, good size portions. Staff all attentive and helpful. We had a lovely family evening. Will definitely come back.

I have been to numerous Indian restaurants in my life, but this was my first Nepalese. My taste buds were aroused from the very first bite and by the end of the night they were in paradise. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The Kathmandu malai is the best curry I've ever had highly recommended always hot n fresh food definitely be going again 💯👍

Wonderful. Fantastic Nepalese food, something a little different from the same Indian menu and food. They do serve Indian dishes, but nice to try something different. Great food and excellent service at a good price.

We went for a meal 6 of us on the Thursday night we were very picky with our meals as it was our first time trying Nepalese food but the waiter Viraj was most helpfull with the option and recommended the hariyali which I was not disappointed with what an incredible dish it was 10/10

Lovely food, lovely service, the atmosphere was lovely, biraj the waiter was very helpful and friendly, couldn't do more to help us, definitely will return

The food was brilliant, our waiter Birajwas excellent

Atmosphere was really relaxing & comfortable... the waiters was helpful when asking for advice on a dish from the menu...the food that we ordered was enjoyable, the portion sizes was lovely... the resteraunt in general was very clean,& was a joy to visit... we will be going again at some point in the future... many thanks to all the staff for a lovely time.

Amazing food, really tasty and full of flavour. staff are really friendly amd helpful. Would reccomend 100 %

We recently tried Gurkha Chefs for the first time and all I can saw is WOW. The service was exceptional and the food was easily in the top ten for Indian food I've ever had. I didn't catch the gentleman's name who waited on us but he was polite, attentive and had a fantastic sense of humour which we genuinely appreciated. We visited on a Tuesday and whilst there were a few patrons it was largely quiet at the time we dined so I truly hope more people begin to custom this fine establishment as it really is a gem in the community! The prices were also extremely reasonable and they give you a very generous portion so we'll definitely be returning in the near future! I also wanted to add that if you were in any way put off by older reviews that gave this establishment a less than favourable rating, please note that the old restaurant closed and the new restaurant seems to have inadvertently inherited the old restaurants reviews. Gurkha Chefs is a recent addition to Rainworth so the reviews from over a year ago are irrelevant. I can agree with them, though. The old restaurant wasn't as nice.

Absolutely fabulous evening. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. The chef has many years of experience and it definitely shows. By far the best onion bhajis I’ve ever eaten. Crispy light and delicious. The special curries were fabulous. I had the curry with loads of garlic and the perfect amount of heat. The roti were devine. Drinks, desserts were also brilliant and not over priced. We had a fabulous evening and will definitely be back. Well done everyone and I really hope you make a success of your restaurant. Ps looking forward to your Sunday buffet!!

Thought we would give this a bash after the terrible kashmir was taken over . Good reviews 🎉. Chicken vindaloo "extremely hot" , but closer to chicken soup, no kick at all. Complained and got a fresh one but still the same. Chicken sagg looked like it had been through a baby. Replaced but still the same. More expensive than modhu mitha and not even close to the same standards. 50 quid down the spout but if you don't try you'll never know 💔. That's us done.

One of the best curries I've had in ages. All 4 of us thought this place takes some beating.

Had heard great things about the food and it didn’t disappoint! Nice friendly service would definitely recommend and will definitely visit again .

Had the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant !!! Will not be ordering again!

Lovely meal I will be going back there 10 out of 10

Stopped in in way home on off chance on a Saturday evening, fairly busy in house and numerous takeaways being sent out. Outside looks a little bland, inconspicuous, as admittedly does the inside. You're in for a culinary surprise, the gurkhali butwae has excellent balance between spice and flavour, the garlic 🧄 naan is lovely too. Plenty of off road parking, easy to find and good value. (Cash or card).

This is our first time since it had new owners and I can honestly say the food was delicious. It’s hard to find a good Indian restaurant around here and I was worried about trying somewhere new but I really needn’t have been. The service was great, portions were well worth the money and although the inside decor was understated it didn’t take away from the quality of the food. Will definitely make it a regular visit.

I love curry. I travel far and wide to experience curry Now I am treated to this wonderful Indian Reataurant right on my doorstep with some of the best Indian food I have ever had. I highly recoment the Gurkha Chef's Special - delicous. What a great improvement to the old Indian restaurant we had in the village

Quiet when we visited for the Sunday buffet lovely hot food , amazing value will definitely return again Great welcoming service would highly recommend

Popped in for the first time on Sunday with my family - nice people and great food

The food is lovely and fresh, service is fab really pleased to have a nice restaurant in the village.

The food was delicious and plenty in a portion. The guy who looked after us was great, very helpful and happy to talk to us. Very accommodating with food allergies and we got a surprise celebration cake to top off what was already a fantastic evening. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back.

New owners have improved this place massively. Delivery is very quick and food isn't bad either.

Outstanding food and very reasonably priced. They even gave me a complimentary dish as it was my birthday.

Didn't get the discount but they put popadoms and chutney into the order. The food was great, portion sizes good too.

Went for a meal last night with my wife. Used to be a regular at the previous incarnation Kashmir, but over the last two years it had declined. However, the new management are producing a great menu in pleasant surroundings. It is a little more expensive that previously, but we'll worth it. The waiter we had was pleasant, courteous and caring. Could not have asked for more.

Gurkha Chefs Nepalese Restaurant, Rainworth, Nottinghamshire. Ratings based on image portrayed and price point. See our featured posts for scale. Overall experience 7/10 Service 7/10 dropping to 4/10 Food 7/10 Setting/atmosphere 4/10 Cleanliness 7/10 Food ordered Starters Poppadoms £0.80 each and pickle tray £2.80 Momo (Nepalese chicken dumplings) £5.95 Gurkha Sizzlers £11.50 Mains/sides Pilau rice £2.75 2x Keema Naan £2.95 each Lamb Hariyali £11.95 Honey Chilli Chicken £11.50 Chicken Korma £9.95 We stopped by this recently opened (new owners) Nepalese and Indian restaurant on a Sunday evening. It was quite quiet with only 3 other tables full. The kerb appeal of this establishment is somewhat lacking, very plain and uninviting to say the least. This seemed to carry on inside. The restaurant was very plain and lacked any sort of character. everything had had a fresh lick of paint as expected under new ownership and overall seemed clean. Being greeted and seated by the waiter we were offered the buffet that was available but chose to ask for menus to make our own choices. Our waiter then handed over the menus and proceeded to set the table (it was set differently for the buffet) polishing each piece of cutlery and plate before placing it down. A nice attention to detail that immediately caught our eye and raised our expectations for the meal ahead. We ordered a selection of starters and mains opting for a mix of familiar and never before tried options. The Momo starter was delicious, the dipping sauce was flavourful but with the dumplings being hot and the sauce cold it was a bit of an odd sensation in the mouth. The poppadoms were fresh and crisp and the pickle tray the same, clean flavours with the Gurkha's on twist adding a pleasant dimension. The mains were also of a high standard. The Lamb Hariyali was new to us and though it was not a dish to our taste we can appreciate the quality of it. Well cooked lamb and a distinct but not overpowering mint flavour running through it. The Honey Chilli Chicken was again a new to us dish. The chicken and the whole dish in fact was melt in the mouth. It literally dissolved on the tongue,. While a little on the sweet side (it was a honey dish) it was very nice but one we suggest should be shared, It could become a bit sickly after a few spoonfuls. The Korma was the real star of the show. We always order Korma as a standard marker. It was exceptional. Thick, creamy and packed with flavour. One of the best we have ever had. As were the Keema naans. unlike many places these were thin, very light, a slightly crisp outer and a soft centre with a nice even spread of keema meat throughout. The rice was distinctly average, perfectly pleasant but nothing special. The service was great up to getting our mains then we seem to be left alone as if we were no longer important once the money had been spent. Up to this point it was great. The Pecking Order final verdict- The food is the star of this show, the setting really needs some attention to make this a place for a real dining experience. Definitely has potential. A return visit is in order once the new owners have had time to make their mark on the place.

Fantastic Ruby house. Best for miles

Me and my family have been here today 21.05.23 for the all you can eat buffet the fppd was second to none and the service was impeccable. Definitely will come again in the near future. Thankyou very much.

A fine eatery in the village with very friendly and courteous staff, nothing too much trouble. Explained the dishes we had not encountered before. Will definitely visit regularly

I ordered food at 6.43 and was told food will be get delivered between 50.60 mins.waited 1 hr and 20 mins so when I rang back she said let me find out where the driver is and I'll call you back in few mins to let you know, waited 12 mins but no call from them so when I call them again to find out what's happening , I was told that my food has just left because they were too busy but that's not my fault, why would you take an order when you're not gonna deliver on time so I've cancelled my order. I've a child who wanted a food before she goes to bed..... unbelievable......be honest with your customers. Won't be ordering again if that's how you treat your customers.

Great little place, lovely team, very accommodating, beautiful food and priced well.

Had a meal here tonight for my daughter birthday and wow! The food was absolutely amazing and the service was excellent they couldn’t do enough for you! Would highly recommend we had 4 different dishes and all we fabulous will definitely be back

Great place. Had takeout, it was so nice

Been a regular customer of this restaurant. But tonight’s order was disgusting. Had 2 chicken dishes. The chicken tasted and smelled totally awful it tasted fishy. Don’t think I’ll be using this place ever again.

Chicken wings and chips are to die for very nice service and staff always friendly and polite 👍👍

Food was gorgeous. Kebab was fresh and delicious. Curry was piping hot and tasty.

Ordered a takeaway 27th July 2022 and can’t believe the difference a few weeks have made, last time we ordered the chicken was great and very tasty curry, this time possibly the worst meat I’ve ever bitten into tough tasteless and stringy and the tikka tasted of tomato soup one of the worst curry’s I’ve ever had such a shame as I started using this place when it opened years ago then I left the area came back and it was as good as ever but mow it’s fell off the cliff

Fantastic host, the restaurant was very quiet and we wanted for nothing, the portions were great but the food was so good we took the left overs home A*****

This was VERY disappointing. Starters all ok, but three different main courses, all completely bland and tasteless. Apparently their Dhansak is Korma with pineapple... Not in my recipe book it's not! The tikka massala sauce was luminous red but with zero flavour. It could have been anything. One trip was enough.

Absolutely disgusting. Didn’t taste like Indian food at all. The person I spoke to tried to tell me that a korma is the same as Dansak and refused to accept responsibility for the awful food that we paid too much money for.

We had ordered 2 curry dishes, onion bhaji, rice and naan total cost £30. Way too expensive for 4 small pieces of chicken and prawn curry. It wasn’t even prawns but small shrimps. Potentially false advertising on menu & website This is a con . If anyone’s looking for a curry I don’t recommend

I’m sorry - we have had food from here before which was fine. Tonight the peshwari naan was raw dough topped with golden syrup! The food was tasteless and overly sweet. A really unpleasant experience and we won’t be reordering!! 😢

Honestly don’t know where to begin. Had a curry lastnight and it was so tasteless. The chicken tasted old and the rice was hard. My partner had a rogan josh and his been ill since being sick. I had a tikka masala and it had no spices in whatsoever for some reason it just tasted like flour. Ide have made a better one if Ide made it out a jar. 👎🏼

Seven of us went for a family meal sat inside the restaurant this evening. The food was really tasty, really fresh and piping hot, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The honey nans, chicken pakoras and karahi is to die for. With it being a sunday evening it was quiet in the restaurant but that was to our advantage as we felt like we had private dining! The service was very attentive and we felt very looked after, couldnt fault a thing. Thanks for such a lovely evening, we will be back.

The food is delicious and the prices are unbelievably good! We'll definitely be ordering from here again.

Food arrived pizza hot but tasted of dirty oil and hardly any meat on chips cold and like rubber then when told the restaurant they expected us to go collect another one even though we had paid for delivery there excuse was the delivery driver said it was hot when delivered how did they no did they open the food up never order from these again then they rang to tell me there fetching the old food lol

Polite staff, Great food, Will order again. Thank you

I’ll start with the good point. Good delivery time. Food was awful, didn’t even eat it. Ate one mouth full and left the rest. Rice was stodgy, meat was tough and chewy and dry. Naan was burnt. Awful!

Wow, amazing food! Great portions for such little price. Staff are very polite and very well mannered , I cant think of one fault. Definite RECCOMEND

Excellent service great food and very polite, definite recommend :)

We ate in, as soon as we sat down, we were brought out some poppadoms which we didn't order so assumed they were complimentary but they were added to our bill (£2.70). I ordered chicken tikka masala which was runny, didn't taste right and didn't have much chicken in it. It was also priced at £14.95 on the menu but our bill said £17.95. Our first experience will be our last which is a shame.

Worse Indian food I’ve ever had in UK. Man you got some guts to do some business here. What is it really? We are all ashamed

Had a fantastic meal, everything was cooked to perfection and nice and hot. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

DO NOT USE KASHMIR in rainworth, after mucking my order up they finally collect my wrong order back 2 hours later then only give me a partial refund. When I ring back to question it I'm told I have to pay £3 for the delivery and 2 cans of pop (that they told us to keep)! First they put the phone down on me so I ring back. I then end up in a 3 way argument where im being shouted at so I put the phone down. They then ring me back off a DIFFERENT number to argue with us more! Nasty nasty bunch of crooks. It's not the money, it's the principal. They clearly need the money. After using them for years I will never use them again

Such a shame the manager of this company is so very rude with no customer service skills, me and my wife ordered 2 pizza's. They were so disgusting my wife call and asked for a refund. Instead they tried to pressure us into ordering something else and he was very pushy about it. However my wife remained calm and demanded the refund eventually he gave in, however it didn't stop there when the driver returned our money they had taken out £3.00 for delivery. My wife then called again and she was just met with a very aggressive man shouting down the phone to her. I'm shocked and can't believe the extremely poor service she received. I would urge you to not order from this place at very best you will receive a poor meal and I dare you to complain about it. DISGUSTED!!
