Gurkha Junction Restaurant in Derby

lovely food, really well cooked - great flavours, first time going here, but will be coming back!

I found some cement or plaster attached to my nan bread. Not impressed at all. Makes you wonder what conditions they cook and prepare food in. Won't be ordering from there again.

Best chicken Tikka Masala Ever!!!

The mixed grill and vegan aubergine thing nice but the naans very rough and chewy and the samosas were very stale tasting like out of a packet which was disappointing

Absolutely delicious food, top marks to Gurkha Junction

Very nice place.foods excellent.we are happy to celebrate my wedding anniversary there with delicious food .

Great, will certainly use again

We have a takeaway from you guys twice a month, excellent food can't fault it. The guy who brings our food is super friendly.. Thanks from Ian and Sarah 😊

Always, always perfect and delicious. Such tasty food, delivered on time always. Well packaged. Super friendly delivery driver. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Yup this is what £37 looks like in a bin. This restaurant is lucky they don’t get a lot of asians coming in otherwise the rating would not be more than 2 stars because we know what this food is supposed to taste like. Congratulations you fooled me with 4.6 stars. I hope this review helps(the customers). I don’t know how to reply to your reply to my review, ok to clarify what was wrong with the food. 1. The aloo gobi(cauliflower and potato) sabji was a disaster, let me tell you how. Number one the gobi was under cooked it was still hard to chew and nobody had the curtesy to peel the potatoes before putting them in and no one puts degi mirch in this dish to make it red, the only spice that should be used to colour it is turmeric. 2. The chicken kali mirch had almost a sweet flavour which might be because of whatever used to thicken up the curry but that is why black pepper is used in this dish and sufficient salt is used to balance out the black pepper. I was literally so hungry coming back from work that i literally just picked meat out of it to eat and left the curry. 3. Your naan bread literally felt like those packaged naans off grocery stores, they were so soggy, brittle and sweet, i couldn’t eat more than half of it and let me tell you i can eat atleast 3 of them when they are good. 4. The chapati’s i wouldn’t feed them to a dog if i had one. The dough for a chapati is only made from whole grain wheat flour preferably with lower level of gluten. A freshly made soft sticky dough and a thin rolled chapati that should fluff up when cooked is called a chapati. Yours was cooked on high flame making it overcooked on the outside and undercooked from the inside. A chapati when held between your thumb and middle finger should be able to break apart a piece using just your index finger. When you have to use both your hands to do this then you can relate to a person serving a life sentence in a correctional facility. 5. Your salad was not fresh, it was dead. It was soggy and just some lettuce leaves and a tomato for a salad, is a disaster on its own. 6. We liked your momos, my wife had 2 and i had 2. I wish we had more. Honestly i feel like i should cook this order myself at home and bring it to you, so that you know what it is supposed to taste and look like.

It’s always a pleasant night at ghurka junction with the best food I’ve tasted and always hot and to our liking.You can’t beat this place for value for money that’s why we visit once a week where we can. The staff cannot do enough for you and there to help you decide if you’re not sure of what you fancy and there is quite a lot to choose from. That’s why we highly recommend this place and take family and friends for all occasions.

We highly recommend this corner/junction Nepalese restaurant. It was not just because of its always high standard quality (foods and drinks) but also the lovely tall fish tank. Thanks for Ram (chef) and Krish (manager)'s chatty and nice entertainment. We will become regular customers soon.

Always amazing food and service

First visit to this restaurant but won't be the last. The service was A1, the food was excellent, portion size was fantastic and the price was spot on. We both had Lamb based dishes, the meat was so tender, the sauces they came in were so flavoursome. Unfortunately, due to the horrendous weather conditions, the restaurant only had an handful of customers but I'm sure that when it's busier, the atmosphere will be buzzing. The staff were very polite and welcoming and the service brilliant.

Been 3 times now and the food does not disappoint the starters are amazing. Lamb sekuwa 10/10, lamb chops juiciest chops I’ve ever had, masala chips best in derby 👌🏼 tandoori king prawns also Lovley and can’t fault the curry’s rice and fresh naan worth going to anyone who is unsure if u see a bad review about the place it’s because the people don’t appreciate good food and their tastebuds aren’t working

Amazing Food and Exceptional Service! I recently ordered Paneer Bhutawa, Aloo Gobi, Pilau Rice, Chapati, and Garlic & Cheese Naan from Gurkha Junction, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! From the first bite, it was clear that the food was prepared with care and authentic flavors. The Paneer Bhutawa was a standout – perfectly spiced and bursting with rich flavors. The Aloo Gobi was equally delightful, cooked to perfection with just the right balance of spices. The Pilau Rice was aromatic and fluffy, complementing the dishes beautifully. The Garlic and Cheese Naan was a real treat – soft, cheesy, and with a delicious garlicky punch, while the Chapati was warm and fresh, just how I like it. On top of the excellent food, the service was exceptional. My order was ready for collection right on time, and the staff were polite and friendly. Considering the generous portions and high quality of the food, it was definitely worth every penny. I would highly recommend Gurkha Junction to anyone looking for delicious, authentic cuisine at a great price. I will definitely be ordering again soon!

Delicious Food That Reminds Me of Home! My name is Sunanina, and as an Indian student living in Derby, I have always been on the lookout for food that reminds me of home. Since discovering Gurkha Junction in Spondon, it has quickly become my favorite spot for authentic Indian and Nepali dishes. I’ve ordered takeaway from here many times, and every time, the food has been consistently amazing. Recently, I tried the Nepaliyan Tikka and Hariyali Paneer Tikka for starters, and both were incredibly flavorful and well-prepared. The paneer was perfectly cooked, with the right balance of spices, and the Nepaliyan Tikka had a unique taste that I loved. For the main course, I ordered Indian-style spicy Tadka Dal, Saag Paneer, and of course, Chapati and Butter Naan. Each dish was a true reminder of home. The Tadka Dal was rich and spicy, just the way I like it, and the Saag Paneer had that perfect, creamy texture that makes it one of my favorite dishes. The Chapati and Butter Naan were soft, fresh, and complemented the mains perfectly. I was impressed with the quality and authenticity of every item. It felt like I was enjoying a home-cooked meal straight from India. I’m so grateful to have found a place like Gurkha Junction, where the food is not only delicious but also brings back wonderful memories of my hometown. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful dishes. Thank you, Gurkha Junction, for making me feel at home, even when I’m far away. I will definitely continue to order from here regularly!

Amazing Experience at Gurkha Junction, Spondon! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gurkha Junction in Spondon, and I can confidently say this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. From start to finish, everything was simply outstanding. We began with a selection of starters, including Onion Bhaji, Chicken Sekuwa, and the Masu Platter. Each dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and served hot. The Chicken Sekuwa, in particular, was incredibly tender, and the Masu Platter was a perfect combination of different meats—an ideal choice for sharing. For our main course, we opted for a variety of dishes: Chicken Kadhai, Lamb Rifle, Vegetable Biryani, and Chicken Kali Mirch. We requested them to be prepared Indian-style spicy, and the chef did an excellent job. Each dish was packed with authentic spices and rich flavors. The Chicken Kali Mirch had the perfect balance of black pepper and spice, while the Lamb Rifle was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and well-seasoned. The Vegetable Biryani was fragrant and flavorful, with the right amount of heat. Now, let me talk about the breads—we ordered Naan, Chapati, and Roti, and I was blown away by the texture and flavor. These were some of the best naans and chapatis I’ve ever had. The naans were soft yet slightly crispy on the edges, and the chapati had a perfectly light and fluffy texture—completely different from the packaged ones you find in stores. Every bite was a delight! Overall, Gurkha Junction has truly raised the bar for quality and authenticity in every dish they serve. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for genuine, flavorful, and delicious Indian and Nepali cuisine. Thank you, Gurkha Junction, for a memorable meal! I’ll definitely be back soon.

Worst food ever i had in my life . All i can say wastage of money i felt mcdonald’s burger is much better than this

Amazing food as always, had a slight problem, ordered something vegetarian and it was delivered with meat it but rang them up and they got me my curry straight away which was amazing customer service. Best nan bread I've ever had. Please with it. Thank you so much for rectify my order so quickly and being so polite, especially the delivery driver he was so kind.

I had a take away on 12 Sept 2024 which was absolutely superb. Lovely fresh flavours. The strips of fresh ginger gave the aloo gobi a lift and a zing I have not previously experienced. The food arrived before the estimate and the delivery gentleman was so pleasant. 🙂👍

Truly delicious food - a delight for the taste buds

Food was absolutely delicious, can't fault the taste. Disappointing that they missed one of the curry's though so have had to request a refund for that, luckily we had enough to go around.

our food was cold and took ages to come!

Can't fault the place at all, the extremely polite and helpful manager greeted us when we arrived and provided us with a top level of service, the food is fantastic and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Absolutely adore this place the food is exquisite

Came here for a takeaway. It looks nice, but I did not eat in, so I couldn't really comment on the atmosphere inside. It looks okay.

We decided at the last minute to eat at Gurkha Junction. We had not eaten in here for a couple of years, though we have had takeaways, and it was as good as we remembered. There were 5 of us, and we were all very happy with our experience. The service was very good from start to finish. The food was really good, and the choice was excellent. We would recommend to anyone .

10/10 thank you very much, the best place to order from.

Food was shocking! All came cold, portion sizes compared to pricing is extortionate and then 45 minutes after the food being delivered I received a text message from the restaurant with a link to "pay my bill" EVEN THOUGH WE ORDERED THROUGH JUST EAT!? I don't normally write reviews but this place is ridiculous and we will NOT be returning!!!

Tasty food, good portions and reasonable price recommended 👌

Ordered take away, ordered chicken korma. Korma sauce. Rice. Chips. Naan and popodom. Waited agers for the order to come and when it did both the korma sauce and the chicken korma were not kormas at all. Phoned up when was told I could have my order sent again. Coke again and was a exactly the same. Got absolutely nowhere phoning up, very rude man would not accept responsibility. It had never been a korma. Not happy. Disgusting food. Sauce tasted like a tikka masala sauce from a jar. Will never order again.

Fantastic food not ordered for a while so was a nice treat

Great food that I had would like to work my way through the menu

Not actually been to the restaurant but the delivered food has been great.

I lovely food varied menu generous portion size truthful about delivery time.. Had an excellent eat in meal last night. Food was fantastic.. Varied menu with great description.. Plenty of non meat choices if you want. Great freindly service and very clean.

This is a hidden Gem. Food and staff are fantastic. Extremely reasonable prices.

Happy with the food, service, and the inside atmosphere. Anyone likes the Indian and Nepal food, must give it a go. The food and inside feelings are different from other Indian restaurants I went before.

The food was faultless, full of flavour and arrived hot. Also, a big shout out to the delivery driver who was speedy and courteous. would happily order from here again!

Exceptionally tasty food with a timely delivery. Highly recommend 😁

Lovely food! First time I’ve ordered from there and will definitely be ordering again ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

First I have to say the meal was absolutely delicious. I would recommend it without hesitation. The menu is extensive, so the most difficult part was choosing what to eat. The service, this was slow, but only one person was taking orders, delivering food and cleaning tables, but always pleasant.

There were stones in the curry. How does that even happen

Absolutely amazing every time can’t big this place up enough

Excellent food, the Chicken in both the Shashlick and the Nepalaya Makhmali starter was fantastic, huge bits of Chicken - will definitely be using this place again.

all food was cold ,weird sauces and chickpeas were horrible

Only people in there. Shame because the food was excellent.

This is definitely the best takeaway in my opinion. Unlike most, the food has many flavor levels even when hot. Fresh ginger, garlic and whole pepper corns make an amazing difference. Please give them a try.

I screwed up but they rang and fixed it with me excellent customer service and communication

Best Gurkha food in East Midlands, you must try. EMA curry club best restaurant.🥰

Great food and service. Good selection of Ghurka dishes very well cokked and tailored to meet my requirements. Lovely staff too

food was great and very good value but was cold so had to microwave which was a shame

Love their vegetarian food. Such wonderful flavours. Definitely recommend.

I consider myself a bit of a curry connoisseur 😂 usually eat on the curry mile manchester but travelling for work I try many restaurants around the country. The food in this place is up there with the best 100% the taste and quality of the meat was exceptional

Rice was bit cold & chicken is very dry over cook

This used to be our 100% restaurant until it changed hands about 6 years ago and went seriously down hill. However due again to change of ownership our number two takeaway went down the same hill and we decided to give gurkha junction another chance. Imagine my suprise, new owners, don't know how long ago, and really good food. Tonight will be my fourth visit in six weeks so must be really good again. MY only negative would be that I don't know what half of the dishes are, what flavours or how hot. Just have to try them all I guess.

Excellent food and service as usual.

Food was so bland and cold. Popadoms were soggy

Excellent food. Definitely recommend

Very tasty food would highly recommend.

Food was on time,hot and absolutely delicious. Delivery was great too

Over an hour late on a Sunday. Poor quality. More stew like than curry. Will not use again.

Very nice restaurant, staff are very friendly especially the waiter. Me and my wife have come here twice now and will be coming again. It is also a nice place to relax, thanks 👍

Price too high, portion not enough, The menu said mixed biriyani but not a single prawn 🦐 in the box and many pieces of chicken and 2 pieces of Lamb was there. COMPARING WITH BOMBAY BIRIYANI NOTTINGHAM, GURKHA JUNCTION Restaurant is No where. 🤮🤮🤮

The Momo was lovely as was the lamb main but the paneer roll lacked paneer and tasted mainly of pastry. The paneer achari was sadly inedible- far too hot & we like spicy food, even covered in the watery raita it still couldn’t be eaten & ended up in the bin. Food was lukewarm. Disappointing as we’d really looked forward to trying here.

Lovely food - will definitely order again

Food is not really fresh. Test like microwave cook. Even Tuesday night Expensive as well. They charge everything even exra onion chutney

Exceptional staff and phenomenal food this is without a doubt one of the best restaurants I have ever ordered from 10/10 every time.

Possibly best takeaway of 2023 with this new discovery. Order authentic Himalayan and the food is awesome. Just love curry leaves ! Can’t wait to order again 👍👍

Seriously,one of the best vegetarian meals I had in a long while. Definitely will order from them again in future.

Great authentic food and decent price !

Food was cold by the time it arrived nearly 2 hours after ordering

Despite living locally for the last 30 years, it was the first time I have tried Gurkha and I was not disappointed. Food was hot, flavoursome and very enjoyable. Thanks Gurkha Junction!

Really tasty Indian food, very good service. I definitely recommend a visit!

First time ordering from here. Lovely food and arrived very early. Will def order again

Outstanding. Food and delivery 10/10

Been coming here for years, not sure if the chef has changed or they had accidentally tipped the salt over but every single dish, including the pickle tray dips were extremely salty and almost inedible.i was very disappointed as usually the food is lovely

Awesome food and plenty of it 😊

Excellent food as always!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In a word 'Wow'. Incredibly tasty food, delivered early by a very friendly delivery guy. This place has just become my new favourite restaurant can't recommend enough 10/10

Starter, curry and rice were absolutely beautiful but the nan bread was freezing and had hardly any cheese inside. Delivery took a long time but no longer than the estimated time given and it was a Friday so understandable.

1st time ordered, certainly won't be the last, excellent

Always have had a fabulous meal from this restaurant. Highly recommended

Never had a bad bad meal from here, easily our favorite curry house. The chutneys are the only thing that were not too keen on.

Lovely food and delivery as always

Amazing food. Very tasty and arrived hot. Will be ordering again.

Very friendly welcome. Good range of options. I enjoy the Salmon curry and chilli fish starter. Good Bombay Bicycle IPA on offer.

First time here and everything was cooked to perfection. The flavours and choice are amazing. Will definitely be back

Absolutely superb food cooked to perfection every single time. The staff are super friendly and always go out of their way for you. The prices are great especially considering the quality of the food. The best in Derby for Indian/Nepalese food by far.

Bit disappointed but maybe went on the wrong night

Friendly driver, on time and great food

Dont be thrown by the shabby exterior, this place is a great find! Nepalese chefs work miracles with their subtle combination of spices to give you a unique dining experience. Better than any indian meal I have had in a very long time, only the Balti at Matlock Bath is on a par with this place. If you go for the goat dish - be aware there may be bone in there. Batuka is my favourite at the moment but planning to work our way down the extensive menu. Bring your friends and family if you want something awesomely different. The servers are cute and happy to please. Seriously, this place is a gem hidden away in Spondon. Try it!

Delicious food, friendly and polite delivery driver.

Wow this food was so incredibly tasty, will be ordering again. The only thing I think could be improved is the chutneys

The food was cold the wrong curry was sent the delivery was late even after ringing the restaurant twice im very disappointed this is normally a reliable restaurant with great food to order from wont be ordering again

Always good and either before stated delivery time or before

Brilliant. Food is great and the delivery driver is always friendly.

Fantastic always is and will allways come back brilliant food very reasonable price
