Gurkha Dining in Cheshire East

Had a good meal with family after long time. Good Nepalese food, great service, polite and friendly staffs. Plesent atmosphere. Looking forward to going back soon. Hidden gem in Macclesfield

An excellent night out. On the worst night of December the Ghurka Dining, in Macclesfield, was the place to be. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the Biryani I had was superb ( Chef to be congratulated ) . My wife and daughter really enjoyed their meals. The whole experience very pleasant and excellent value for money. I would recommend the restaurant for a great night out. Thankyou so much. Alf, Sheila and Christine Ellis

Wonderful restaurant, have been several times and always enjoyed ourselves immensely. Tonight as it was Sat night we asked for a quiet table as I'm autistic and sensitive to sound. The waiter suggested we move from the first table we were placed at as they had realised there would be a large party group arriving later. We were seated in the other side of the restaurant and it was v quiet. The menu is very varied with lots of choices. The food was amazingly tasty and we were asked how hot we wanted our dishes so they weren't too hot. The staff were really friendly and helpful. A fab place to go!

Five adults, two courses, drinks, about £36 each. Delicious food and great service. Very friendly. We can't wait to go back!

My friends and I visited Gurkhas Dining recently, and we were thoroughly impressed! The food was outstanding—each dish, from the flavourful momo was perfectly spiced and delicious. The cozy atmosphere made us feel right at home, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, offering great recommendations throughout our meal. We had an amazing experience and highly recommend it for anyone craving authentic Nepalese cuisine!

I came all the way from London to visit Macclesfield with my husband and saw Gurkha dining.I had momos over there which tastes so nice,exactly nepalese momos!Loved it!!Staffs are friendly ,service was amazing.The restaurant was very neat and tidy. To be honest,We had a good time. We wish to visit Gurkha dining again.

Pleasant enthusiastic staff with excellent food and interesting menu. Enjoyed our meal . Will be back to try everything on the menu. Many thanks

Were visiting from Yorkshire and chose this place amongst the many local restaurants in Macclesfield. We were not disappointed. Ordered the paneer dosa and a Nepalese lamb curry. Beautifully cooked, great flavours, washed down with a couple of pints of Kingfisher. Simple, authentic food done very well. No nonsense, just a banging curry and dosa. Really hit the spot.

Great quality food and super efficient delivery time. Spur of the moment decision and thoroughly enjoyed it! Will definitely use again in the future.

Walked in with friends. From the start service was ok bit soon to turn bad. On the sauce trays next to nothing in them then when you asked for more you got charged. The mixed starter was average. Then you get the the mains I cut the chicken and was pink. Issue was addressed but tried to brush a side three different opinions from the staff. I would never go back. This place needs a environmental health check.

the delivery driver marked that the order was delivered but only after 15-30 mins did they realize they delivered the food at the wrong address. food was cold and terrible to eat. waste of money

Highly recommend both the hot and sour soup and the sherpa lamb curry that I had tonight.

One of the best Nepalese restaurants I have ever visited with an interesting mix of sub continent standards and Nepalese speialities on offer. All are served by a friendly and chatty group of attentive waiters who are happy to make recommendations. This is our second visit - almost exactly on the anniversary of our first. We are a group of old lags from Macc who return annually for a couple of days' walking and fun. I can see that Gurkha Dining will become a tour fixture for us - and I would certainly recommend it to anyone else with discerning taste buds and a yen for discovering some out-of-the-ordinary options.

We had not visited this restaurant since before Covid. Very pleased that we went again last night . The menu is extensive and much more interesting than competitor restaurants in Macclesfield . Beautifully cooked food, well presented and tasted delicious . Only advice would be not to waste stomach capacity on popadoms as you need the space for later!

Poppadoms and naan past there best so it was a bit disappointing

This is the first report I have ever written about a restaurant. The Gurkha Indian restaurant in Macclesfield is quite frankly appalling. How can anyone trying to produce good takeaway food produce such utter crap. The spicey poppadom's where burnt, the dips where insipid and the depth of curry made hot fairy liquid water look appealing. Hoe does such an establishment survive|? One of the wonders of the world! Paul, Macclesfield. Never Again!

Haven't eaten there for well over 10 years and it hasn't changed. The food is still very nice

Food was cold when came unfortunately

Delivery was way too late, ordered at 18:10 order arrived at 19:50. Food when arrived cold - watery tikka & cold naan bread. Food taste doesn’t reflect on good reviews - bland & tasteless. Unfortunately won’t order at Gurkha again.

we've eaten at ghurka for years and have never ever had a meal we don't like!

Top class food with great friendly service 10/10

Wow what a feast. The food was absolutely amazing and so many delicious options to choose from. Service is equally important and the service matched the quality of the food. If you aren't sure about this restaurant let me assure you i have been 4 times and every single time i have been impressed.

Still serving the best Indian food in Macclesfield. Menu covers north Indian, Nepalese and a some southern Indian dishes. Highlights are the onion bhaji, dosa and Nepalese lamb & fish specials e.g. Sherpa lamb. Service as always friendly and efficient. It's a big restaurant split into 2 halves so there's always space yet has a cosy atmosphere. We went on 10th anniversary night and received a free drink & choc cake!

I have lived locally for over 3 years & I used to live outside New York City and there was a hugely successful and well known Indian restaurant called Cinnamon. I thought I wouldn’t be able to find a match for it, but not only have I found a match for it, Gurkha’s delicious food supersedes it!!! The folks working there are also very kind! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My favorite take-away for miles and miles.

Great quality produce expertly cooked and spiced, the best Indian restaurant in Macclesfield and beyond

Always friendly, always really excellent food. Thank you!

Bristles from basting brush in both orders (or from a wig? it was definitely synthetic), also food not as tasty as when we've eaten in. Very disappointing. Super fast delivery from your driver thank you

Good food but they forgot the chutney tray

I had a great time with my family here at Gurkha Dining. The food was amazing and so delicious, can't be expressed in words. The staffs were so cheerful and lovely, and their service was topmost.

Great meal, naan bread sadly cold on delivery

Food was very average, mild biryani was way too hot and the chips came cold

Fantastic meal plenty of food best I have had . It was my birthday and I was treated like a special guest. Staff are amazing nothing too much trouble highly recommended

The staff at Gurkha are always so obliging and friendly. What is even more remarkable is the food: my family have owned Indian dining establishments and I have huge experience in tasting Indian food. From all this, Gurkha features as probably the best Indian food (although Nepalese more correctly) that I have ever tasted. Extremely fresh ingredients coupled with the use of a variety of whole spices enhance the dishes to a cut above other places. Delicious!

Simply the best. Great team, fantastic food

On narrow boat on Macclesfield Canal. Rang for delivery. Delivered well within eta. Food was excellent. Friendly delivery lady. Will order again on return journey.

On a narrow boat on Macclesfield Canal. Rang in order and gave directions. Food arrived well ahead of eta. Food was amazing. Definitely order delivery on way back

Delivery was a bit later than expected, but worth the wait. Food was very, very tasty and good quality ingredients 👍🏻

We ordered a takeaway and asked that arrived hot and it certainly did ! Food was spicy and flavoursome and delivered with a smile, couldn’t ask for more, first class all round 👌

Excellent food and excellent service, great portion sizes and very reasonable prices.

Went for our evening meal when in Macclesfield. Welcome was warm, food was amazing and service throughout was professional. The poppadoms and pickle tray were fresh and tasty. For starters both the Aloo Tikki and Paneer Pakora were full of flavour. For mains we had Shahi Paneer and a Kidney bean dish with ginger and garlic. Both were great. We had pilau rice and roti to go with them. Good value too.

10/10 Best curries in Macclesfield. Gurkha never misses!

Way to much sauce and for a mild dish Karahi chicken was on fire. Massala had no flavour and soooo much sauce and the nann breads hmmmm looked and tasted like shop bought. 1st and last time.

This restaurant never fails. Excellent food and even better customer service. The servers have great menu knowledge and are always happy to suggest a meal that is always delicious. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and the owners and staff go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your visit.

my fav restaurant & takeaway by far🎉 all the staff are so professional & friendly. if i could give 6stars i would. please don’t change anything🥰🥰🥰

We are visiting Gurkha Dining for dinners since last few years, it is one of the best quality indian/nepalease food i came across during my last 14 years in and around Manchester. very polite and friendly staff as well with lovely ambience inside.

Not a generic 5* review, we just love this place. I've tried about 3 different curry dishes and loved them. The meat-chunks starter is fantastic. The atmosphere is fine, just what you'd want if you're eating-in. And the service is as good as anywhere you could hope for 👍

food was tasty, think May have been mix up with one of the curries as didn't look or taste like masala more like a korma, was still nice all the same. poppadoms all broken, but not end of the world

Great food for the price, friendly staff who are very happy to make recommendations!

Just had probably the most adventurous and tastiest meal I've ever eaten. With such a selection I wasn't sure what to have. Our lovely waiter Newash (kneewash) recommended the Gurka soldier. The different flavours were sublime. Seriously can't recommend it enough. The great thing is that our other waiter Ali offered to take us Gurkha training afterwards 😉 Sabina was a wonderful hostess. And whoever the chef was (know what I mean Harry) certainly knows his stuff. Not in anyway expensive. Newash thanks for the Nepalese 💧. Will definitely be back on a regular basis.

Lovely restaurant, friendly staff, nice surroundings and excellent food, an extremely pleasant dining experience 😊

5 Star Food, Service and Atmosphere. A great place to go. Food is fantastic and comes in good time and organised. FANTASTIC!!!

Genuinely think this was the best masala dosa I’ve ever eaten in my life! Incredibly delicious, really recommend eating here

I booked a table for 4 for my birthday celebration Having never been here before I wasn't sure what to expect. From the moment we walked in the staff were friendly and polite They didn't rush us to choose what we wanted The food was amazing spicy enough to give it a kick but not so much that you couldn't taste the meat May have been out first visit but definitely won't be the last

Went here with a large group, food was great with generous portions and the staff are attentive and friendly.

Had an enjoyable meal with a group of colleagues. Very accommodating, very friendly and attentive service. Good tastey food.

Food was nice until I found a hair in my food it was a long brown hair as well and I’m blonde

Simply delicious. I went for the daa kula lamb, now it says it’s a curry but to me it’s more like a stew, the pieces of lamb are decent and fall apart when you eat them, I went for the house special fried rice and it’s a perfect complement, It’s also very filling. I will definitely be ordering from here again. An easy 5 stars.

Food was excellent. Korma was spot on, Jafrezi was full of crunchy vegetables and thick chunks of ckicken, and the Madras was lovely and spicy hot. Rice, Naan and poppadoms were superb.

Lovely food would recommend to anyone really enjoyed it

We love, love Gurkha dinning! It’s the best Indian in Macclesfield, we try to come in at least ones a month just for how amazing the food and people are! Would recommend highly!

Been here multiple times and always leave with a great experience. The momo was usual was amazing. Also ordered the lamb sank for the first time which was fantastic and would definitely recommend to everyone.

My husband and I booked Christmas day lunch at the Gurkha restaurant. We were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and made very welcome by Hari, his lovely wife and staff. The organistaion was like a well oiled machine, the food arrived promptly and the timing between courses was perfect. As a starter we both had the smoked salmon and avocado cocktail, delicious! (Can I have the recipe please??) Followed by roast turkey with all the trimmings, everything cooked to perfection. Finally, apple and cinnamon pie with brandy custard, coffee and mince pies. A thoroughly enjoyable and happy experience and excellent value for money.

Food great as ever but only 3 poppadoms delivered when 7 ordered!

Fantastic. Onion bhaji’s were massive. Samosa’s were massive. Food delicious. Quick delivery. Nailed it.

Absolutely 1st Class, everything. Loved the place ❤

Lovely food, arrived on time, lovely delivery lady.

Really tasty food, naan breads could be a bit bigger. We couldn’t really taste the difference between keema naan and regular naan but the onion bhaji’s were a good size and we’re very nice. We would buy from here again.

Great food and interesting menu

Terrible its disgusting how this restaurant can deliver food in such poor condition and charge for it.

Disappointed only used because it’s Cheeky Tuesday and 20% off but chips were stone cold and the Chicken Tikka Massala was more of a Korma in taste and appearance. Garlic and Coriander Naan bread was very small, hard and dry so sorry tried you after a 18 month absence but still the same average food.

Superb food again. Bhutwa is the top dish every time

Food was cold and they missed part of the order. Communication was difficult when I tried to call to report the missing items.

Great food (hope you like heat!) and service and very reasonably priced; will definitely be returning

They have great range of Nepalese food and I love their thali and chicken momo. The starters are great. Very good atmosphere and staffs are friendly and polite.

We have a curry club which meets monthly, I had encouraged the club to visit the Ghurka in Macclesfield. The starters had been very good, full of flavour, we had been determined to stay with the Ghurka menu. There had been four of us in attendance, my meals had been very good, value for money was good too…flavours excellent, just perhaps go easy on the salt in the cooking. The staff were excellent and very helpful. I would recommend this restaurant for all visitors…

I always visit here when I’m Macclesfield. I come down from Edinburgh and this is a must for every trip. Great food and great service, couldn’t ask for anything more

What a great little find this was; mixed Indian menu but with Nepalese food with some fab flavours I've never even tasted before... well worth a 2nd, 3rd, 4th visit & more ....

Number 1 in Macclesfield....superb dining experience

Far too many cloves and cardamom seeds. Hard to eat

Good quality food, great taste, good portion.

Great experience from the get go. Delicious food; great service, lovely place and lovely staff. Great value. We will be back.

Fantastic food from a great restaurant. Strongly recommended.

Gurkha Dining is the ideal restaurant for having a get together with friends. My friends and I all loved our meals. I ordered chicken momos for the first time and I was blown away by the delicious flavour. My friends had main dishes including the Daa Kula lamb and the Everest lamb and they were very happy with their meals. I also ordered a mixed grill and I was very impressed. I can’t wait to come back.

My family and I dined in at Gurkha Dining and had another wonderful time. I ordered a mixed grill which was marinated and cooked to perfection. My wife greatly enjoyed the Sherpa lamb curry and garlic coriander naan, whilst my kids loved their piro prawn and gurkha regimental meals. The service was also very welcoming and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasant. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all foodies.

We had an amazing experience in Gurkha Dinning. One of my regulars in the town. Had a lot of tasty dishes. My favorites were Momos and Chowmein. One of the authentic taste of Nepal.

Try the specialist Nepali dishes such as Sherpa Lamb in preference to the standard Indian fare (Madras, Vindaloo etc), although the latter are perfectly good.

Had the mixed starter, excellent flavour & the lamb was superb, I was being a whimp and had a biryanis for a change, oh the best ever,

Not happy with the food taste and cooking style.

I had the worst experience with the proprietor of this restaurant...she is extremely rude ..fails to comply with how the customer feels... absolutely shocking..I dine alot in London.. Birmingham also Manchester.. never have I had to deal with such a rude insulting person..kept my order over an HR ..failed to call my contact number as most would automatically call and explain the delivery driver is late ..not started prepping..she thought this was ok ...she even put the phone down on me..no it isn't ..shabby rude and totally unprofessional..I would not want to spend a penny of my money on such an establishment..I like to go to places that respect customers....i feel it's important..I think her unprofessional attitude reflects the ombience of the place ..this has maybe saved me from a feeling of waste of money experience..if she can treat customers with such disrespect.. Money back for me ..no Thankyou!!..

Delicious food, as usual. I love that they focus on flavour, not simply spice.

So good. Delicious food. 2 visits though four years ago. I'd like to think it's still special. Reading some reviews below, it is! Unfortunately it's 27 miles away.

Great service (early delivery). Good packaging (no leaks). Tried the new curry recently added to the menu, Everest Lamb, it was wonderful, highly recommended!

Says it's open both on the internet and on the door. But it's CLOSED at 1pm. No excuse whatsoever, shame on you.

Wow. I just loved it here. Food was out of this world and fair prices. It's a long way to travel for me but I'd make the effort and go again.

Order was ready in good time, Food was delicious. Can’t fault it 😊

The customer service is amazing! The food is good.

The food is 11/10 absolutely banging

Starters arrived after a long wait.... almost 2 hours later we asked about our main course.... apparently, they were busy. Nobody said anything about this when we arrived.... 2 hours and no main course.... apparently, we were out off order for asked where are food was.....
