Gurkha Express Fine Dine Restaurant in Melton

Researched for the best Curry in Melton Mowbray, and the Gurkhur Express, did not fail. Flavourful food, lovely service. Easy to park, pay and display parking is virtually next door. Being half asian family, it would have been nice to be given finger bowls. Good value for money. Lamb saag, was particularly good.

By far the best dining experience in melton Mowbray so far! Delicious; freshly cooked food and amazing service . Ambience was relaxed and we didn’t feel rushed so were able to enjoy our food and good conversation . Would recommend the tasty curries , sides .. we didn’t have room for dessert !!

Really good curry one the best I've had for a while. Got a free taster dish and drink to finish off. Good service and decent prices

I’ve past this little gem a few times now but took the plunge to go in finally. I wish I had tried this place sooner. The initial staff reception was fantastic and the food complimented the amazing service. I highly recommend trying this gem if you haven’t already.

Well looked after and food is definitely worth the trip, service by the lady is on point! Glad to find a place like this when working away

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

What a little gem in the centre of melton! Really great Nepalese food and fabulous staff, Susma was very attentive and cheerful. A definite return for me.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience The flavours are slightly different from all the other lndian, Bangladeshi & Pakistani restaurants l’ve enjoyed It’s now my ‘go to’ for eating out & their delivery service is outstanding too -I’ve had a banquet on my table within 30minutes of ordering on several occasions Definitely try it!

We were a family party of seven adults (one local, two from Australia and three from NZ) and had an amazing meal at the Ghurka Express. The food was really good and the service from Susma was excellent. We were also given a complimentary dish to start and strawberry lassi to finish! We had a great night and wouldn’t hesitate to go back again. Thanks for a very enjoyable meal that we will remember!

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

We visited with friends and had an excellent meal in a lovely friendly environment. Service was spot on, not too intrusive but always there when you needed them. We have previously had takeaways but will be back to eat in again. Thank you 😊

Great Food with excellent service. One of the best curries I’ve had in a long time. Great selection of food available and staff were great. A

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Perfect. Great atmosphere and food. Highly recommend.

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

Thank you for a wonderful family birthday celebration.

Great Friday night: lovely curry, great staff!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Great taste and atmosphere at Gurkha Express.

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

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

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!

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 .

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

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

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.

Open on Xmas eve for a great takeaway!

Gurkha Express Melton serves the absolute best food! Exceptional flavors, impeccable service – a must-visit for an unforgettable culinary experience!

Maravillosa Comida y acogedor lugar...

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.

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!!!👍👍👍

I've been to Gurkha express on a number of occasions in the beginning well worth the money the fine dining was as advertised the second visit I brought 9 guests we were impressed again we got to know our host Casper had a great meal with the attention to detail one would expect of a fine dining experience, the next visit I brought 10 guests no Casper obvious under staffed all visits were on Saturday night the service was poor very poor so disappointed we decided to visit this last Saturday to see if Casper had a night off 28/10/23 no Casper , served by young girl about 16yrs of age lovely young girl been in the country one month loved her efforts but long way to go to be a fine dining waitress not her fault. So in conclusion in the past month I have spent approximately £600. On entertaining my guests to be embarrassed twice unfortunately I will not be visiting again as I can get this level of service in any curry house in the country I will add the last visit we took a take away for our daughter and someone forgot to put the rice in the bag and as we live a considerable distance from Melton we decided to forget it and just not patronise this establishment again such a shame they nearly got it right.. If you want a fine dining restaurant with premium prices this will dissapoint such a shame

Really enjoyable evening. Our party of 10, all had drinks served within 10 minutes of arrival and food was very quick as well. Absolutely delicious and tasty, we all loved it. Highly recommended.

Went here on a Sunday evening with my Son on the recommendation of a friend. Absolutely Superb Experience. Food and Service were Excellent. This restaurant now sets the standard for all other Indian restaurants in Melton. The best Garlic & Cheese Nan we've ever had. Would highly recommend

Lovely meal with good service and atmosphere.

Great food actually better than I expected!

Lovely Indian food. Nice interior. Service was a bit slow between starter and main course. All in all would visit again.

Visited here for a restaurant meal a few weeks ago. We had a warm welcome, and the service overall was second to none. 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.

Wonderful tasty food,with great service. First visit ,but will be back

My self and a small group were in the area for our cub scout camp. We made a phone order pretty late on Friday night about 955pm. The order we was ready in 30 minutes for us to collect. The food was brilliant, with great size portions, and very well cooked. We thoroughly enjoyed the meals and will use you again for our next camp:)

Amazing meal here last night, there was absolutely nothing we could fault. Food was delicious and excellent service, will definitely be returning soon.

Very enjoyable Nepalese dishes, delicious, authentic, expediently prepared takeaway. Very reasonable priced. Thank you very much see you soon.

Ordered from here a few weeks back and it was a Chicken Vindaloo with rice etc and wasn't impressed with it at all, the curry was quite watery and the rice wasn't great either. I probably wouldn't bother again

Thank you Casper for the excellent service

Excellent restaurant. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. The food was very good and nicely presented.

Great food, great service and as always a wonderful time.

Wonderful flavoursome food beautifully presented. The service was second to none and waiter Casper deserves a special mention. Highly recommended.

First visit last night and it won't be our last...food was very good and tasty.. service excellent..we are already recommending it to people.

Ordered, delivered on time and a superb taste experience. Don't miss this food!

Housed in a refurbished pub the Gurkha is a fantastic addition to Melton Mowbray's restaurants. We were greeted by our very friendly, very polite Polish waiter and seated at a round table, a rare piece of furniture for restaurants. Well laid tables with cloth napkins and designer cutlery all add to an upmarket feel . Serving some traditional Gurkha dishes the lamb handi was particularly delicious. Portions are generous and prices are reasonably inexpensive. If you are looking for an Indian restaurant in Melton, this is the one to visit.

Visiting for an event and fancied a curry, best decision we made! Service was beautiful and so friendly! Everything was fresh and the chicken was beautifully cooked. Highly recommend :)

One of the best curry’s I’ve had, the garlic Chilli chicken is outstanding definitely worth the money 👏

This is a big place, the food is delicious and the young person serving us was polite and friendly

Just had an excellent meal at the Gurkha Express. Wonderful food and really friendly staff. Cannot recommend highly enough, would definitely come again when in Melton Mowbray

Excellent food and friendly service, a little more upmarket than before but welcoming.

Spice club - 5 Stars are not enough. The food here is always amazing. The level of service and generosity of the staff can not be matched, the management have a clear love for the job and what they do. We asked for a simple birthday message to bring a little joy to my pregnant wife to be and what we received was unimaginable. The staff gave us flowers and a drink for our meal, we can not show enough gratitude to this restaurant! They bring happiness with every meal.

Grandson decided he wanted to go to an Indian restaurant for his 16th birthday. He had never had an authentic Indian meal. Only gave 4 stars for atmosphere as we were the only customers there at the time. However, food and service were top class, if a little expensive.

Fantastic food. Been to many Indian restaurants and this one is top notch.

This was our second time here tonight since moving to Melton and have found one of the best Indian restaurants we have been to! All of the food is fresh, a good level of spice and top service. Recommend the lamb cutlet starter, lots of meat and flavour and perfectly cooked. Best Indian in Melton!

Everything about this restaurant was exceptional. The menu has both unique and traditional meals to choose from. The food was excellent, exactly as described and beautifully presented. Both food and drinks are reasonably priced. Service was excellent, lovely atmosphere. We will certainly be visiting again and would feel very confident in recommending to anyone.

Food was nice. They forgot about our online reservation. Ripped by boots on sharp stair waitress was as bothered as Vicky Pollard. Was quite busy. Popadom, curry, sides and a couple of beers was £33 each so not too bad.

Had a wonderful meal from Gurkha Express, the customer service is excellent. I am vegan, and while there are only a couple of vegan specific items on the menu, they told us which meals they could make vegan by request as well as giving us recommendations. All in all a really great experience. Can't wait to order again.
