Gurkha Hill Nepalese Restaurant in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Phenomenal food and service as always.

2nd time we have been here, and always enjoy. Should do it more often. Polite staff and never feel rushed

I have dined here several times this year and it’s absolutely brilliant food. Nepalese food is not your standard Indian and it’s really nice to try different things. Sekwura Lamb and Hillboy Chicken are highly recommended.

Great place for Nepalese / Indian food in the area. The food tastes fantastic, very reasonable portions of great tasting Nepelease and Indian inspired food. The only down side was the cleanliness if the place, the seating was dirty and stained, menus sticky and dirty plus the toilets haven't altered in over 25 years ..and are in desperate need of a refurb which is a shame as it would help make the place. I'd defo go there again however just for the food and the great selection of beers.

Restaurant could do with a freshen up and lick of paint but food and service was amazing and food was very reasonable

We were here for a 50th birthday party and there were 21 of us which was the problem on this occasion. The staff were unable to service this number in a timely and efficient manner so all aspects suffered. This is still a great place to eat but for smaller groups only.

Absolutely stunning venue. The food is as good as it gets and Jurgen, the owner is very engaging and a top chef. Really couldn't recommend this place any higher. Go and try this menu, you won't be disappointed. Fab place

Me and my partner have been wanting to try the food here since it opened. Finally got around to getting a collection order today and have to say, it was excellent ! The lamb rara was delicious, my partner loved her saag aloo, and the peshwari naan was the best I’ve eaten. Staff were very friendly as well. 5/5, will definitely be eating here again

Amazing staff amazing people. I'm Asian and I eat from here so you know it's good lol

Had food here on a few occasions,always good, fresh and tasty. Had a take away for first time.

Really busy but still fast service. Very attentive and excellent food. Thank you. Thoroughly recommend

Hands down the best curry we've had in yrs!!! All about the food......

Visited early Saturday evening, and it was already busy. It has an interesting menu with Nepalese dishes and more traditional ones. The staff were pleasant and helpful in making our choices and even changed an ingredient to suit us. The food was delicious, especially the nan bread, best we've had. Recommended.

Delicious food, fantastic service, full enjoy, family environment, love it.

Best curries we've even had so we will definitely be returning. The service could be a little friendlier.

Spacious Nepalese restaurant in a former pub. Plentiful menu. I asked if a side dish can be served as a main dish instead which was fine. Tasty meals and polite staff. Licenced bar. Popular place.

Been several times now and the food and service is excellent. Everything cooked fresh. Highly recommended.

Wow, wow, wow, I have to say this has to up there with the michelin star restaurants, the food was outstanding and absolutely stunning, it certainly didn't disappoint, would highly recommend, and we will definitely be returning...

Every visit has been fantastic, great service and food highly recommended

Fantastic food and very attentive and polite staff. Really enjoyed out meal thank you!

Great tasty Nepali food and wonderfully warm hospitality. You won't be disappointed. We keep on coming back.

Delicious food, a twist on standard curry dishes by applying the Nepalese rich, and it works really well. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable, food was delivered quickly and drinks were easily kept on top of. Loses a point for atmosphere, but it is an ex-pub turned into a restaurant and the decor, lighting and furniture will, I'm sure, change to start reflecting the new use rather than echoing the old, but for now it feels very pop-up. But don't let that put you off - the food is worth the visit and with free parking behind the building, it's very accessible.

Great food, friendly atmosphere, will be back, many times hopefully

Unbelievably good food, drink and service at brilliant prices. Strange layout which when busy can be a little off putting and loud whilst eating food.

Absolutely divine, real traditional home cooked food. A must eat restaurant we will be back thank you for a wonderful dine.

We have been here a few times now and we would whole heartedly recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Even our young children love eating here and one is not a fan of curry but the Salmon Goan Curry is a winner every time. The staff are extremely attentive and polite. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely meal, faultless. Staff friendly. Definitely returning.

The service was good without being over the top. Really liked the food. It came good and hot ,temperature, and was as good to look at as it was to eat. We will go back again.

Called in on the off chance and we were not disappointed. The food was fantastic and served very quickly by friendly staff.

One of the finest curries around. Excellent detail in the dishes which are all very unique from one another. The nan bread is also the best I’ve had outside of London. Staff are polite and professional. Wish I lived closer as it would most defiantly be my regular.

First time here we love the food,staff are pleasant,nice the man asked if we was ready for our food before our meal came out ,nice decor ,my friend liked the drink as well,I recommend the butter chicken,mushroom rice.I hope to come back.

It's been on the go-to list for some time now. Finally managed to get some time to visit and it didn't disappoint. The food was stunning and didn't break the bank. We will definitely be returning again.

Really nice restaurant polite and food really what I expected price qas £110 for 4 of us so didn't break the bank either the Gurkha beer is to climb Mt Everest for so do try this beer Nepalese food with Indian take if required

What can I say, my weekly visit to this amazing place is what keeps me going most weeks, the food is incredible, every mouthful offers a special something you can never quite put your finger on, but my word, it's a treat for your tastebuds, Staff are great, it's very friendly and like eating at your favourite relatives. The decor isn't immaculate...who cares, it's homely, that's what matters. I'd eat there every night if I could afford it. You will never get better, and I've eaten similar across the UK on my travels, this place is unique, it's local and its like home, well done everyone, please keep up the good work, see you soon Cheers Karl and family

We felt taken good care of. They even customised some food for us vegetarian souls and make them well. Not that typical Bangladeshi Indian food - well cooked, not very oily and wonderfully flavoured. Good and fast service. Book in advance I would say. Recommended any day.

We had a fabulous night, there was a wide variety of food to choose from, and the service was excellent. I would certainly return for another meal.

Fantastic food and service, will definitely be returning

Food is outstanding and very authentic. Service is very efficient and helpful if you are not sure what you are ordering Only been there at quiet times but does appear to get busy later If you like spicey medium or mild CHECK IT OUT.

Myself and my wife have wanted to go eat for sometime so we had the opportunity today. We thought we would try a carry-out initially so we ordered. The staff are very friendly and polite so we had a few beers waiting for our food order. A good range of beers. We orderd onion bhaji, hot chicken tikka masala, king prawn tandoori and muchroom rice and garlic nan. We got home reheated the food.. The result was stunning, fantastic and great quality food. Highly recommended and will be back, very often👌😁

Warm welcome. Friendly service. Decor a bit old fashioned but the food is what you come here for and it is was amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious and you could tell it was all freshly cooked to order. The peshwari naan was the best naan I have ever had. So light and the perfect lick of char. The Gurkha lager was a great accompaniment to the food. We didn’t order wine but saw on the wine list that there was a good choice from which you can order by the glass or bottle.

I love a curry, my family love a curry and this place is at the top of my list. The food is really taste and the staff are always really friendly. I love this place, I’m working my way through the menu

Excellent food good service and friendly staff will definitely recommend

First class meal ! We shall definitely be returning.. wow. Staff very friendly and polite. We opted for the sharing starter for two, portions great. Our mains stunning, we will be back.

The best curry I've ever had. I cannot wait to return. Food was outstanding, fresh and beautifully presented. Marked down one star on service, but I think it was a bad day as they seemed short staffed, I'm sure it's normally great. Looking forward to coming back in September.

Food was fantastic! One of the Loveliest Chicken Kormas I've ever tasted 🥘 with Chips 🍟and Mushroom Fried Rice 🍚 plus a Naan 🫓 Food was really hot but Rice portions were tiny. Sooo good tho ❤️ The Girls serving were great but this is not an attractive venue - Cud very much do with a Makeover 🤔 Menu tho small was varied. Fancy trying the Crispy Chilli Chicken and Egg Fried Rice if there again 👍🏻

Amazing taste of food and culture. 100% recommend. The staff are extremely friendly and each is an explosion of flavour.

Excellent. Greeted by welcoming staff who were helpful and friendly throughout. We had poppadoms and onion bhajis to start. For main I had the Gurkha Special Curry (Chicken) and opted for hot (when given the choice between medium and hot). Shared Garlic & Chilli Rice (not on the menu, but cooked upon request) and a Keema naan. For the table we had Bombay aloo and Paneer tikka masala. All of the dishes where excellent and full of flavour (the tikka masala sauce especially had a unique flavour). The chicken was cooked perfectly, tender and falling apart. Bhajis where crispy and light. Paneer was the best I've tried, with a light and fluffy texture (and not rubbery). Overall a fantastic experience, thank you!

The staff were really friendly here and the food was amazing. We had the piri calamari to start and that was so tasty, then himali chicken which was also really tasty. Would definitely come back here. They also do take away.

This is a really unique restaurant in an old pub setting. Rare to find authentic Nepalese food and beer. The momos are great and the staff are really friendly. Good value too. Would highly recommend!

Never went. Parked outside to drop the Mrs off.

Lovely restaurant and staff were friendly. Portion sizes perfect food was lovely. Would recommend.

Lovely food, some very different tastes and flavours. A big old pub turned into a restaurant, it was a bit noisy, not helped by the drunken valley commando who was the only voice you could hear all evening. The staff were all very attentive though and the food was definitely the star of the show!

Lovely food and great service. Recommended.

Food flavours okay, no better or worse than any Indian restaurant I've been to. However portions are tiny and considering this, the prices are steep! Staff kindly fitted us in - even though we hadn't booked - which was great. Decor etc was okay, ambience could be better. Can't fault cleanliness.

Absolutely beautiful is the only way I can describe the food in this establishment. Very relaxing atmosphere with very helpful and friendly staff, always willing to help you including explaining the different dishes. There is a carpark to the rear and The toilets are very clean and hygiene. I highly recommend a visit. They accomodate small or large groups. There are bottles of 660ml Gurkha larger which is nice and refreshing amongst other drinks.

Not a big menu. And chips could be better and not from frozen. But have visited twice now and really enjoyed it. Decent parking facilities. Warmly welcomed and most importantly very tasty. Satay dishes would be nice 👍 will definitely return.

Amazing food, great service, good price! Definitely coming back!

Been to this Restaurant twice and both times were great, very friendly staff and excellent Food. Well worth a visit you wont be disappointed.

Fantastic food very friendly staff

Every aspect excellent Warm welcome.

Foodvis excellent service very good, ambience still looks like s pub. TV screen up with music channel playing, maybe for some, not for me. It split the evening

First time eating here, always a good sign to see a packed restaurant and not to be dissapointed the food was lovely.

Amazing food and great service 👍

Went with a mate on Friday night for the first time. Lovely food, friendly staff, and full of people who seemed to be regulars, as the Maitre D was greeting the arrivals as friends. Can't wait to go again.

Nice food no madras on menu but made for me

What a fantastic place to eat . Used to be the crown pub , but now Gurkha hill. The food here gets better every time I’ve eaten here . If you like Indian cuisine then this is another level, flavour of every dish make your taste buds glows . Eating here , you wont be disappointed. Enjoy

Everything is amazing. The people working there are amazing and highly recommend. The food tastes so good and proportions are good too. I give 3* for the atmosphere because of the decorations and the time where I stayed it wasn't playing any lovely traditional songs of the culture.

This place is an absolute must for lovers of oriental food. Delicious! My wife and I travelled down from Bangor a day early for a show we were doing, just so we could try Gurkha Hill. We both agree that it was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. We had veggie dumplings to start and then shared the sea bass Goan curry and the Fewa King prawns. Go there, but you need to book. Very popular place.

This is a must visit restaurant.

If you haven’t eaten at this restaurant, you are truly missing out. The owners are friendly and welcoming and the food is outstanding. We eat in as much as we can but if we can’t, the takeaway is exactly the same quality and eating in. They cater for most dietary requirements and the food is so clean in taste. It is presented very well and tastes fantastic . We absolutely love going to this restaurant, it’s the best.

This restaurant inside former pub serves absolutely astonishing food. Delicious, amazing, wonderful.

Food lush, service impeccable, clean, friendly will definitely come again, recommended!

Really enjoyed the food and a relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again top marks

A very friendly place with a good choice of dishes . Had a lovely evening. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble . Can't wait to return .

Had a superb family meal there last night for my twin daughters. Friendly staff and excellent food, look forward to going back.

Excellent food with friendly and helpful staff. Thanks

fab place lovely food and great service

Excellent food and service. Great atmosphere. Well worth a visit you won't be disappointed

Had a lovely evening with my partner here. The food was gorgeous and the service was friendly and attentive. The rice dishes could have been a bit more generous though. I think the atmosphere could be enhanced with better lighting, maybe lamps on the tables rather than the stark pub ceiling lights. All in all we had a very nice time .

Cracking meal here this evening. Everest lamb, veg tikka, aloo paneer all great. Great service too. And the Gurkha beer is perfect for a curry

Ordering from the menu slightly difficult as we didn't know if main came with sauce or not. But was pretty good overall.

Lovely, attentive staff, quick service and delicious food. Can't wait to visit again!

Food was beautiful highly recommend

Fab meal fab staff fab venue so glad we went we will be back x

Had a lovely evening again last night. Food great, service great, prices great. What's not to like. Thanks Yogen & everyone.

Food is great but portions are less, would suggest to move away from small bowls for rice

Great food and attentive service. Haven’t visited before but I know we’ll be back.

One of the best curries I have ever eaten. Lovely quite atmosphere, and excellent service. Try it!

Lovely food and great service, highly recommended 👍

We enjoyed our dishes here, visiting from London and needing a dinner on a Sunday night. The host asked what kind of dishes we already liked, then kindly tweaked the dish to suit our taste or made suggestions. I enjoyed the King Prawns, that were actually king size compared to other restaurants, they were cooked every well with mango and onion sauce. Extra chillies too. The smoked clay ovan dishes with chicken work really well. We would eat here again and recommend to others.

Well the meal was excellent and staff attentive. Bit noisy but a fun night out.

Great food and service. Visited on Wednesday. This was our 2nd visit and the food was as good as the first. Really highly recommended.

Great food with very authentic taste and Very Friendly staff! Highly recommend !

A superb Nepalese restaurant serving excellent tasty food with friendly staff and good prices. Some of the food you will find in an Indian restaurant but tasting so much better 😁 This is the place to go for that special meal. Highly recommended 👍

I love this restaurant, the delicious food, great staff and the hospitality makes this place especial and I want to visit again and again.

First time I went to this restaurant today with my Nepalese friends.What a warm welcome, the service was exceptional and the food was out of this world. Will definitely be back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Food was good , amazing service .excellent environment. Thank you
