We went with friends as a group of 9 and had a fantastic meal. We had poppadoms to start and were given a variety of dips that were different and tasty. We were then given a delicious complimentary starter which was very tasty. The meal was fantastic from start to finish. I particularly liked the special vegetable rice which was full of fresh vegetables. We ended the meal with a complimentary short of baileys, whiskey or brandy. The service was excellent and the food delicious. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. We had a great time.

My wife and I went here for a family meal with my in-laws. The food and service were both excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive. We had the onion bhajis and samosas to start which were well presented and tasty. We had four different mains with two rice and two naans. Everyone enjoyed their food and the plates were empty. The desserts were mostly ice cream based and the ones we tried were great. Overall we have a lovely meal in a great setting.

For the ultimate Indian dining experience, Gurkha Express Melton is the place to be. Impeccable service, delicious food, and a welcoming ambiance – they truly excel in every aspect

A laid-back, relaxed restaurant - don't be fooled by the 'express' in the title - this is the ideal spot for a contemplative curry. The staff know their trade well, and are attentive without becoming intrusive. The food is a judicious blend of Nepali styles and Indian classics, and it works a treat; don't miss the starters, as they are really something impressive. The by-the-glass house wines are well-chosen French vin de pays rather than mass-produced plonk, and even the beer selection has had some thought put into it. Every dish is good, many are excellent, and to top it all they don't charge a fortune either. Just give yourself time to enjoy it properly.

It is rare to find a jewel such as this in a sea of generic Indian restaurants. And it's not Indian, but Neapalese. After receiving a warm welcome from the friendly and staff, the food did not disappoint. Popadoms as a staple entree with some different chutneys, the chilli carrot was quite something. Would recommend the Momo starters, freshly made and very tasty. For a main either the Nepalese Lamb or the Nepal Home curry, incredible flavours and very different to a regular curry. All in all an excellent dining experience. Great service, great food and good value.

Visited with family. High quality food, well spiced and well presented. Throughly recommended. We ordered 3 separate dishes to share and each one was distinctly individual in flavour. Great really fresh naan accompaniments. Have eaten plenty of curries over the years and this restaurant is right up there in quality. Charming service and the location in an old town pub added to a very enjoyable visit. Thank you.

MrDW choose this place due to the Nepalese food. We went quite early & were the only people there so we got all the attention. The man who served us was word perfect & had impeccable manners, he was good! If I wanted to employ someone to deal with my customers I would want him. I felt a bit claustrophobic in the champagne bar in the back, although I suppose I could’ve asked to sit in the bar area. But I believe that the guys who deliver the takeaway food were in there waiting for the orders. The food was most enjoyable, MrDW had the Madras & raved about his naan with cheese, whilst I had an excellent Saag. I thought the wine a little bit expensive for a glass so I had a beer, MrDW had a cider. I’d highly recommend this place.

After finding no tables free at the Empress of India or Purple Garlic, we tried Gurkha Express for the first time since it changed from being Spice Club, and were so glad we did. Having recently been to Nepal, I found it a particularly exciting experience and found the food even better than the usual Indian fair on offer in Melton. We were concerned at first as it was really quiet but the staff were brilliant, food superb (I had Poppadoms, Momos and Chicken Nepal with rice and Peshwari Naan) and Kasper did an excellent job making us feel welcome. We will definitely being returning and recommending it to our friends.

Went here last Thursday, party of 3 and we all thought hands down the nicest Indian food we have had in a very long time. Chilli fish starter was simply divine and for once we were served Roti and Nann that is more towards the genuine article than the overly doughy fair usually knocked up for a western palette

Wow! Just delicious food, We had previously been to this restaurant under different management and it was spot on so we wanted to come back and try the new menu under the owners and woahhhh… exceptional. So it’s slightly different to a curry restaurant but oh my word please go here and try the different ghurka cuisine. I could have ordered everything on the menu it all sounded so good. I opted for ghurka lamb it was a dream, creamy spicy and the lamb so tender. All our party had something different and each one of us said how it was the best curry we have had. The breads were piping hot and delicious, the rice was perfect and the popadoms and pickle tray to start was unreal. Honestly I have eaten at so many curry places but this one has to be the top right now. The owner came over to us to chat and tell us about his passion of food and cooking the freshest tasting dishes which really made the meal. This place is a gem. All finer details like cutlery/ glasses and the after dinner wipes are luxury. It was very busy when we arrived but we were seen within 5 mins and just shows how the place is getting busy now so booking would be advisable. We weee that impressed we ordered a takeout for a family member who couldn’t make it. Overall I would definitely recommend this restaurant as the food it’s absolutely incredible!!! Can’t wait to go back next time I am in Melton.

Came here for a birthday outing with my other half, and we were delighted by the warmth of the welcome and the quality of the dining experience. The food was wonderfully rich, with contrasting flavours and textures, delivered fairly rapidly by friendly and efficient staff. The menu is quite extensive with ‘curry classics’, alongside a plethora of exotic and original dishes – I think my hardest challenge was finding which one to select this night! I was not disappointed, but the experience left me wanting to return and explore the menu choices further! The restaurant environment itself as a whole is also a charming one, with fascinating décor and music pitched at the perfect soft background level. We arrived as the only diners, but this only gave the place a more intimate feel. As other diners arrived over the next hour or so, this only added to the pleasure of dining out. I shall certainly be returning to the Purple Garlic in the not too distant future. Thank you!

Chiken kebab meat prepared on the frying pan reheated in microwave. This place is a not funny joke.

Ordered a meal from Simla and was informed via email it was being prepared only then 40mins later I receive a message informing me order had been cancelled without any explanation! I tried to call restaurant but no answer at all, I have also emailed and still received no explanation. I'm also still awaiting refund! Absolutely appalling and would not order ever again its a shame because this place used to be good but sadly gone downhill!
