Gurkha Express in Melton

Hira and the team were amazing and great food and atmosphere x

Our evening started with complementary chicken skewers followed by our choice of Lamb Momo and Vegetable Dansak. All the food was delicious and perfectly spiced. The meal was supported by just the right amount of attentive service and generosity.

Ordered whilst on a job for me and a colleague and was very disappointed. Quality isn't great. I will order from elsewhere next time. This is the old spice club which I did rate highly however this new place isn't great

Great food and service! Will visit again!

Staying at a local campsite and 1 of the staff came and picked us up for free. Restaurant was quiet being a bank holiday Monday but food was fabulous, staff attentive and a free taster plus nightcap at the end. Same staff gave us a lift back too. Having been to the restaurant before when was the spice cafe I have to say the new owners are equally as good as the previous ones. It won't be our last visit. Thanks

The staff are brilliant and so friendly and the food is always top notch. Our go to restaurant if we’re going out for a meal.

There are a couple of issues with this visit. Service was slow.....45 mins for starters to arrive and the draft beer was flat. Turns out this is due to the way it's stored. Bottled beer is fine and there's a good selection at the same price as the draught.....660ml for the price of a pint Was also very quiet for a Friday evening. The food is spot on however, very tasty, rice cooked well chapatis were great as were the onion bhaji starter. Work to do to to raise the standard but it's fixable and could be a great little restaurant

Lovely food, and a nice atmosphere. We were well looked after and it was good value. Would definitely visit again.

This place is a real gem- every time we go we have excellent service- and the food- wow- supper speed, presentation, quantity but mostly quality. Tonight was no different - with a recommendation given which was great! Piping hot food and really reasonable - thanks for a lovely meal

Super good food, everything was exceptional, service from Susma was top notch, will definitely be back in the future, and lots of complimentary food!

I went with friend yesterday for nice dinner and I can only say that this place have it's unique charm, great customer service and delicious food!

I can recommend the Lamb Momo and the Salmon Tikka.

Great food, generous portions and friendly delivery. Would definitely recommend and will use again.

Lovely food, polite delivery, 10/10 would order again

Friendly staff, excellent food.. possibly the best curry I’ve ever had!

Blisteringly fast delivery. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended

The atmosphere was pleasant, the food was good, and the service was friendly. We enjoyed our evening.

I came for my son's 13th birthday and had great food with excellent service where they were very accommodating.

Nice food with excellent service ! Mixed of variety to keep every dining experience special.

The best meal I've had in a long while - beautiful ly presented and absolutely delicious. The staff were really attentive and friendly

Great atmosphere, tasty food, and friendly service. Had a wonderful evening.

Can't give enough stars; it's great to see staff and owners care about their business and customers.

Perfect. Great atmosphere and food. Highly recommend.

Great Friday night: lovely curry, great staff!

Thank you for a wonderful family birthday celebration.

Excellent Indian restaurant with customizable spice levels from mild to very spicy. Friendly staff and a very personable owner.

This restaurant rocks! Food's always yummy, especially the onion bhaji. Loads of unique dishes and top-notch service. Definitely recommend!

Excellent Nepalese food, if you like Indian food then you will like this restaurant. Very friendly, professional staff, excellent service

Great service from beginning to end. The food was amazing including the recommendations. Great atmosphere, not rushed, loved it!

We had a great birthday celebration at Uzzel's with amazing food, excellent service, and thoughtful decorations and cake provided by his staff, making it a truly memorable night.

Great restaurant with attentive service, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere. Would definitely return if we lived nearby!

We had a great first visit last night. The food was delicious, service was excellent, and we're already recommending it to others.

Great spot! Even though I'm not local, I often pass by and decided to give it a try. Had an excellent meal and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend checking it out! Normally don't leave reviews, but this one's worth it.

Fantastic restaurant in Melton Mowbray. Top-notch food served piping hot. Exceptional service, incredibly attentive and polite. Our visit last night was flawless.

The Spice Club staff is amazing! Great food, top-notch service, and friendly staff. It's a bit pricey but totally worth it. They have a wide range of drinks and dishes, catering to all tastes, from mild to super spicy. Overall, my favorite Indian restaurant ever!

The food was great, the atmosphere was lively, and the staff made it fun with games and jokes. A fantastic night out!

I had a wonderful meal at Gurkha Express with excellent customer service. As a vegan, I appreciated them pointing out which meals could be made vegan and offering recommendations. Overall, a great experience. Can't wait to order again.

Cold food and quality very poor! Chicken tikka wasn't edible. Also delivery driver was rude.

Delicious food, excellent service, and always a great time.

My grandson chose an Indian restaurant for his 16th birthday. It was his first authentic Indian meal. The atmosphere got 4 stars as we were the only customers. The food and service were excellent, though a bit pricey.

Fantastic food. Very friendly staff.

Curry was spilt inside the bag all over the other items because the lid wasn’t closed properly. Naan bread was cold and the lamb was tough. Very disappointed

This is the best takeaway in Melton! The menu is incredibly varied and unique, not just the usual Indian fare. Everything we've tried has been delicious, and the service is fantastic.

Had a lovely meal tonight at the gurkha express, will definitely be returning 5 star from us

Fantastic meal! Delicious food and excellent service. Can't fault anything. Will definitely be back soon.

The staff clearly have a high standard, and this is also reflected in the food.Our meal was delicious, and very well presented.Well worth a visit.

Another fabulous takeaway this weekend. weekend, we've had a number of takeaways now and eaten in. The dansak is definitely my favourite one in Melton. but we've also enjoyed the garlic chilli chicken, chicken tikka, lamb tawa and chicken khiari. We've had some nice starters when eating in the restaurant as well. Very tasty!

Great taste and atmosphere at Gurkha Express.

Great food, really tasty. Best on Melton Mowbray

First visit last night was fantastic! Delicious food and attentive staff. Definitely returning soon!

First time ordering here and overall was an okay experience. Ordered the Squid Starter and I'm afraid to say, it was horrible. Didn't taste fresh, salty and chewy. The mains were okay. Good chunks of chicken and was nice and hot. My eldest said the Masala was spicier and sweeter than what they had before, but still ate it. Poppadoms were stale but the Naans were delicious. I wouldn't have paid the £40+ cost without the 40% discount though, so for £25 it wasn't bad. x

Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended restaurant.

beautiful delicious food and very prompt delivery 👍❤️

food was great and staff polite and quick service would order again anytime

Absolutely delicious. Superb flavours & generous portions. Keenly priced. Highly recommended

Excellent food, excellent quality, insanely fast delivery time. Highly recommended

First time ordering and I will certainly be back. The food was delicious

Delicious, well balanced flavours & superb delivery time. I strongly recommend you try their Biryani with raita and sag aloo with a naan each…

Wonderful meal and service at this restaurant. The food was amazing and so fresh. The lady looking after us couldnt do enough for us. Sadly we live 3 hours away, otherwise we would be coming here often!

Insanely fast delivery. Outstanding delicious food. Highly recommended

Very very good! Hot food on delivery and extremely tasty! Will definitely order again

The food was terrible the exact same sauces were used for both curries and the tadka daal had a very stale smell to it and was overcooked too, I definatly won't be ordering from here again. £36 certainly wasted and still hungry. Over all disappointed.

Lovely food but this is the second time it was delivered early- this time 35 minutes early. We were only just home and doing household jobs so the food was cold by the time we were able to eat it. The food is amazing but it would be nice to receive the food roughly when we ordered it.

Food was cold and poor quality.

Really nice meal and delivered fast - food was still hot 5/5

Compliments to the chef. We've ordered from Gurkha Express for quite a few weeks now and it has always been delicious. We will definitely be ordering again. Our favourites are the chicken korma and the lamb dansak, wow the lamb dansak is just the best! The only downside is that the poppadoms are not complimentary 😔😆😋 Still give them 5 stars.

We dined in the restaurant on Monday evening with our baby and we all loved it. We were greeted and provided with a highchair and were the only customers because we had booked as early as possible. Everywhere was clean, tidy, and the waitress was lovely. The poppadoms were warm and crunchy, and the mint dip was fantastic. The mango chutney was the best I've ever tried. Whilst waiting for our main course, we were gifted with a complimentary starter. We don't usually go for starters, but from now on, we definitely will be, as it was delicious. When our mains came out, we were so excited to try the food, and honestly, it was the best tikka masala we've had in Melton. The garlic chilli chicken was also lovely, and spicy, and my raita dip came in handy to cool it down. The garlic naan was lovely as well. I don't usually eat everything on my plate, but I nearly enough polished off the whole thing. Safe to say, we will be returning! Finally we were given the bill with some yummy mint chocolates cold out the fridge. The best mint chocolate I've ever had, so overall, we were amazed with everything and really happy about the service. We can't wait to come back!

Worst experience ever . Food quality is very low .

Such a shame that I am leaving the area. will really miss this excellent food and service.

Outstanding - delicious . Recommended

First time ordering from here and we will be ordering again! Generous portions and beautiful flavours as well as piping hot! Thank you.

I couldn't eat my butter chicken as it was too spicy. Butter chicken is meant to be a mild dish, but this had alot of spice in it, ruining it completely as I don't eat spicy food. Naan breads were cold.

Excellent food. Highly recommended restaurant

The driver couldn’t find my address and rude

Celebrated mine and a friend's birthday and would thoroughly recommend. The food was all served at the same time (and there were quite a few of us), all piping hot. Not one person on the night said they didn't like what they had chosen and would certainly go to this restaurant again.

Had a fantastic meal with the whole family. Such friendly service. We all had starters beautifully presented, main course again well presented and really tasty. We had ice-cream dessert to finish. Great value, friendly service and delicious food. Would highly recommend.

Been out for my birthday had a great night, food fantastic great service lovely staff

Absolutely fantastic meal. Thank you.

Amazing service, fast delivery, delicious food!

Great tasty food. Good quality meat.

Food was great but the order was wrong. Ordered a Peshwari Naan and Cheese Naan but they sent two plain naan which weren’t cooked enough.

Had a takeaway delivered of chicken tikka, Nan bread, rice and butter chicken It was one of the best takeaways we have ever had 😊

Absolutely delicous as always. Generous main portions. Recommended

Top notch takeaway. Superb curry, highly recommended.

Another delicious meal at very keen price. Highly recommended

Ordered a £52 takeaway and after all the restaurants discounts I paid £39. Outstanding food, really impressed and will likely be my go to place now

First time ordering from here and I'm disappointed to say the least. Ordered a chicken masala, and it came and definitely wasn't what I expected. (I was expecting a chicken tikka masala in a rich red sauce) it was a deep brown colour and a thick texture it was very very spicy and I'm now currently sat with horrible heartburn. I definitely wouldn't call that a masala and definitely think they sent me the wrong order. The delivery driver was lovely though and it was delivered in reasonable time.

food delicious, portions plentiful....I can't give anything of importance that I have found negative, liall take aways prices are on the up all the time...there are discounts to be had, I have just signed up to the website, just eat , I don't have many takeaways but the 3 deliveries I have had from here have been very good and managed to get some good discounts from justeat.

very pleased to have received a receipt and menu with the order. Food was delicious. The delivery driver was very smartly dressed.

Open on Xmas eve for a great takeaway!

Absolutely delicious as always. Highly recommended

Wonderful food and cozy place...

First time i have had a curry from here.......will not be the last. I can't give stars for the atmosphere because i had my first takeaway from here. I had just downloaded just eat app so ordered from them, well impressed. I know my curries and often cook my own. There was only one that i would order from and that was the Empress of india in asfordby, but now i have a choice of two.....in my opinion Gurkha Express is the best tasting indian food in Melton Mowbray and it was the first time i have ordered from these guys. Sunday 17th Dec 2023. i am not on any commission they don't even know me.... i just ordered a take away from just eat. i am just trying to inform fellow curry lovers what i think....so for me Melton Mowbray would be Gurkha Express and Asfordby the Empress of India.

I had a chicken vindaloo.....probably the best i have ever had......Delicious.

Great food. Second time we have ordered and it was as good as the first. Very tasty and not at all greasy or salty. Will be ordering again!

Great food and loads of vegetarian options!!! Delicious 10/10 recommend

100% best Gurkha/Indian I've had in a long time, eating this food feels like getting a cuddle from the inside out😋 Just dropped in tonight for nothing specific, asked for the most traditional lamb dish with spice and a naan and am unbelievably happy with the result. So tasty! The negative reviews about this place must be made by people who have no idea of what real Asian cuisine actually tastes or feels like (see quote of chewy, not airy and light naan... fresh bread is meant to be like that and I could smell from the second I was handed my takeaway bag that it was real bread, not from a packet). The "garlic chilli lamb" I received filled the takeaway tub completely, the meat is incredibly tender and I can't finish the portion, the huge punch of flavour alone is worth every penny. I will definitely be back. Great job guys, keep it up!!!👍👍👍

Great food, would order more often but the delivery charge is a bit of a rip off

Always early - always nice and hot - food was delicious as always - thank you!

Ridiculous delivery time, food cold and very bland
