Always had a great experience eating in and take aways from here from the moment gurkha express open. But now as the prices go up the quality is going down. Just had a take away with my usual mix grill platter order which has gone up to almost £18 ,to open the lid to a load of red dyed meat and a lamb chop that could of cone from a ferret. i've alway raved about this place for the quality and consistency of the food but now I won't be rushing back

My wife and I just had a meal delivered this evening. Recent experiences of Indian food, be it at so called restaurant in Stapleford, or a takeaway delivered to our home in Ilkeston , have left me despairing. The food this evening was awesome. The best in a long time. Not cheap, but lovely. Well done guys

Really disappointing. Lovely food.. but we order chicken tikka masala it says mild on the description. It was so so spicey. I couldn't bare it. And my son couldnt either.. we wasted 45 pound on food we couldn't eat.. it's chicken tikka masala.. why was is that spicey.. it was ridiculous.. it was a similar spice to a vindaloo.. I thought they'd sent the wrong curry so I asked.. and they were just rude about it.. I can handle heat.. but this was ridiculous..

Not the restaurant but the flat they rent out. Cancelled it whilst we were standing outside the door to the property as they'd let the previous people stay. Then tried to get me to cancel which I then would have lost my deposit. Disgusting behavior. Renting out flats to groups of lads when it's only designed for 3.

Came to this restaurant on a Sunday evening. Arrived about 6.15pm when we were the only people in. Friendly welcome and good service re drinks and food order. Cobra beer on draught. I had my usual chicken madras and the wife had a chicken rogan josh. My madras wasn't the best I've ever had and my wife said that her rogan josh was hotter than expected. Good service and nice surroundings but the food was a bit different to what we are used to. However the wife's chicken tikka starter was excellent.

Food was nice when it arrived. We have starter/ mains, starter came out in good time then after 20mins we was handed the bill as they forgot to send our mains out.... they had a massive group of lads up at the top who kept shouting all night and ruined the atmosphere. We won't be going back again which is unfortunate as we was regulars plus got take outs.

This is the fourth or fifth time dining here, food always nice however the staff rush you. One lady waitress clearing glasses before you’ve finished, I was chewing my last bite of poppadom when she whipped my plate. Got asked if we were ready to order on a table of 8 when only four people had arrived, I mean omg!!!!!! Please just let your customers relax and enjoy their meal. Has put me off returning. Eight of us were in and out within an hour for a birthday celebration…… totally ruined our night !! Over attentive is actually just as bad as under attentive.

We have been a regular customer at Gurkha since it opened, both takeaway and restaurant over the years. However, following an issue on Friday we shall not be returning. I found a piece of smooth and straight wooden material in my food (approx 1.5cm in length) which was rock hard. It could have been a piece of wooden skewer (as I had a chicken dish) or most likely I assume a hard stem of some type of herb, it definitely splintered like wood when I snapped it to try and see what it was, and I THINK it was within an onion bhaji and not the curry. It was quite painful chomping down on it for sure! I called to speak to the manager to report this and flag it with them so that it could be investigated and could not happen to someone else and maybe cause a broken tooth or choking incident, but he was not available. I therefore tried speaking with the lady who answered the phone but she could not understand English well and simply passed the phone to a young lady who also seemed unsure of what to do and asked me to take a photo and would get the manager to call me back. I never heard. Finding the object in the food is one thing but for no one to give a care in the world about the matter (or their customers in general) is appalling. It's such a shame as the food here is lovely (minus wooden pieces!) but I won't be back now after this display of dreadful customer care, as I won't support a business who does not care about their customers, really disappointed. PS. Just noticed a 5 star google review from me 4 years ago for Gurkha Express which shows how long we have been a customer.

The best curry dishes we have ever eaten! Absolutely delicious, outstanding flavours, huge selection of standard curry dishes and Ghurka specials, all of which are amazing. All of the meats are cooked to perfection and just so succulent. The sauce's are all seasoned in a manner that will leave you wondering what the curry's were you tasted before. Personally we would not go anywhere else now as everything they do is faultless, from delivery (always early), to the Ghurka chips, which are also superb covered, as they are in herbs and spices, just fantastic. Don't believe me? Give them a try, you definitely will not be disappointed. Ghurka Express you are the best, thank you L&R.

I have been here 3 years, and haven’t had a take away since I had a Chinese meal when I arrived. My wife and I decided to have a meal delivered from the Gurkha Express in Eastwood and I was pleased I did. The food was well presented and very tasty. One of the meals had leaked in the bag, but that did not detract from the meal. The only negative thing I would say, is that there was too much sauce for the meat content. I will use them again as the whole meal was delicious. Worth the money.

Not sure what the covid guidelines are for restaurants but I’m not sure just hand sanitiser at the door is not it. It was very busy in there. No masks on staff or distancing from other diners. Staff were friendly but don’t be in a hurry if you go. Took 2.5 hrs from beginning to end but we were happy to sit and chat - just a little hungry ;)

Went during covid..... Given takeaway menus to order from and was told this was so they could be disposed of after...... I was certainly not the first person to order from the menu or the 10th person either! Really poor service by the lady server (the guy was great) you could see kids actually working in the kitchen..... Whether you order a regular or a large it will come in the same size bowl. Once we tried to pay we was told the takeaway prices are for takeaway not us even tho this hadn't been pointed out. They did eventually amend the prices to what we had been shown but it was certainly shown that she wasn't happy. The food however was nice and I did enjoy it althou it was certainly on the expensive side. I can't see me ever returning as the service is certainly much better at other local places

We ordered from here for the first time yesterday for a friend's 'lockdown in the garden 50th birthday celebrations'. We expected good things after being recommended this place & hoped for the best as this was not the way we had originally expected to be celebrating our friends special day, & wow, we were not disappointed. Every mouthful was a delight, from the starters to the rice & breads, to the mains. Each curry was unique & delicious. We would even go so far as to say this was the best takeaway curry we've ever eaten. And believe me, we love & know a good curry!! It was the perfect spread for our socially distanced lockdown spread Well done Gurkha Express, Eastwood. We're already looking forward to the next one .

Five of us visited for the first time on a Friday night. It wasn't busy. I can only assume this place stays in business with take away orders. We got a choice of one of two tables, but it didn't really matter as all the tables are set out in a long row. The layout and lack of soft furnishings and high ceiling gave the restaurant no atmosphere whatsoever. The staff were efficient at serving our food but didn't engage in any conversation. However, the food was hot and tasty with a good selection of wine at average prices. Strange name for a restaurant though. With 'express' in the name it sounds like a take away! Good for a group of diners making their own noise, but not ideal for a romantic dinner for two.
