Gurkha Mahal in North West Leicestershire

Turns out they have closed down but still accept payment on online orders. And Google maps still states they are open so very misleading Need to go via bank to get refund.

Our first experience of Nepalese cuisine. I think chef used up all the himalayan salt in the kitchen. Everything else was lovely. The starters were fresh, vibrant and full of flavour. The mains not so. Salt, salt and more. If the staff had approached us during the mains I certainly would have sent mine back. It was only when the waiter thought we had finished were we approached and able to make a complaint. At this point I was asked if I wanted a replacement.

Very nice staff, really friendly, food was great but we did wait a while but then, it was busy,

The curry the ghosts rate this a 10/10 must visit for donnington area

Really good takeaway. Delivery was quicker than I expected. Driver was really friendly. Hearty portions. Had a veggie starter and meat main and both had great flavour. All reasonably priced.

I had a delivered takeaway and to be honest, it was TOP CLASS. Hence spending a minute to do a review; really good rice, a fantastic curry (Balti Karachi...I seem to remember, but forgive me if I've remembered that wrong), really fresh naan and fresh salad. Great poppadoms and a lovely, smiley, positive delivery lady. I would say the best delivery and deliverer I've ever had! Huge thank you team.

The best food you will ever taste this place is excellent if you are a curry connoisseur

Lovely food, lovely staff at a reasonable price.

Always have a lovely meal here and excellent service....highly recommend the place....

Had our first takeaway from here tonight, delivery was prompt and the food was hot, tasty and really nice. Will definitely order from here again.

We had the most amazing Xmas day here and many more. Great place

Loved the food and the staff. Left totally stuffed after wanting to try too much Nepalese food. Recommend the veg momo

Wow I am surprised when I order delivery.chicken curry,lamb curry,very testy.I will definitely recommend this place for my family and friends.

Amazing food and friendly staff.

We ordered food tonight on Just Eat , told delivery was 35-50 mins. Phoned to confirm, then told 1-1.5 hours, after 1.75 hours called to be told just cooking now and busy so another 15 minutes, let's wait and hope!!!! Won't be using Gurkha Mahal again, never had this poor service at Curry Tonight

Been going here since it opened and has become our favourite Donington curry house. Great food and service, and reasonably priced

One of the best Nepalese restaurant.

Best curry house with excellent service. If you love curry this is the place to go.

Good food and excellent service

Lovely restaurant. Food is delicious and beautifully presented. Friendly helpful staff. Cobra beer on draught. Highly recommend

First time eating here and it did not disappoint. The food was fantastic, we will definitely be back Thank you for a lovely meal 😊

Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere with friendly staff. Thank you we will return

King prawn puri ...nope , back to tandoori nights we go . Big disappointed

Visited on Sunday evening, had a lovely meal with family with an incredibly warm welcome from the staff. Had the lamb shank and prawn madras and both were excellent. Will be back.

Ordered food was freshly made, very tasty and delivered by a friendly Lady. Perfect, thanks!

Since moving from Bradford 16 years ago, I've searched the Derby area for a decent curry, tried them all. I've now found Gurka Mahal, it's the best I've had and highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good curry.

Great food, staff very attentive, plenty of room between tables, would recommend.

Excellent food, excellent hospitality. Will be back 😃

Fantastic food. Felt like home. Nepalese food is similar to Bangladeshi. Very nice. Host was so pleasant and loved the warrior feel of the proud Ghurkalis. 👏

Before the restaurant opened I thought it was going to be similar to some of the other South Asian restaurants in the village… How wrong was I! This is an amazing addition to Donington, and the food is truly fantastic. The owner was very charismatic and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The complimentary coconut rice pudding was a lovely touch and to die for. Can’t wait to come back, thank you for a great evening :)

Excellent restaurant... Service was great.... Beer was fantastic.... Food was exceptional.

Excellent food and service as always

Lovely food and service, delivered to Donington Park circuit to feed a hungry mechanic. 5*****

The best food, fantastic & friendly delivery lady, good price and good portions, would recommend, absolutely delicious thank you 🙏

Absolutely wonderful food and great service at a reasonable price. Will definitely be visiting again next time I'm in the area.

Solid Nepalese food and excellent service. Went on a Thursday night and it was pleasantly busy, staff were attentive and food arrived at a good pace. The starters were a solid 7/10, but the main courses were excellent. The portions were very generous, and we left with enough food for at least one more meal. We'd gone out for a meal for a birthday, and the staff made it one to remember with their kind service and a cake and khuhri rum offered at the end of the meal. The final price was far less than expected, and we will certainly be returning.

Amazing food - very tasty chicken tikka very succulent 😋 Dahl makhani really good 7 of us all had great food 😀👍

Food was awesome and delivery was very fast , I ordered my food in hilton they delivered in few minutes. And it was very delicious specially mutton rogan josh and cheese nan

Good food, good prices, excellent staff. Welcome to the village👍

Excellent experience - surroundings were bright and clean, service was very good and the food was very, very tasty. First visit but won't be our last.

Fantastic food again. Staff lovely. Would recommend a visit.

Dined in and had an amazing meal. Napolease food was all very fresh and full of flavour, service and staff were excellent and prices were very reasonable. Fully recommend this place

Absolute delight. Beautiful authentic Gurkha cuisine at the Gurkha Mahal. Newly opened following on from rose of bengal which we used to frequent often. Can honestly say food and service are second to none and the surprise Birthday cake from Salik was amazing!! Will definetly travel from Derby to this gem in the future. Wish them all the success!!

Absolutely lovely place with fantastic service. The food is to die for! Highly recommended for the finest food in Castle Donington.

Had an amazing Nepalese meal tonight. Couldn’t tell you the name but a veggie dish and lamb with gorgeous peshwari Nan Very reasonable and very pleasant staff. Much tastier than your usual Indians. X

First visit, with family. Very clean,staff attentive . The food was DELICIOUS and most enjoyable . HOPEFULLY returning soon.......

Amazing food, amazing staff and expertly looked after by Shalik yet again - definitely recommend

First time we have tried here for takeaway. We ordered the Nepalese Desi Lamb with mushroom rice. Really enjoyed and will be going back. Restaurant did have customers but wasn't too busy at 6.30 pm.

First time in gurkha mahal and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The Adraki lamb chop, boat Zhinga and momos is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.

Absolutely Beautiful Food. Lovely staff!! Highly recommended

Just had fantastic meal at Gurka Mahals for my daughters birthday. Salic and his team made it all very special for her birthday, the food was amazing. Would highly recomend. Thank you we all had a brillant time

Being the new place in town, thought we would order a takeaway. Thought it was a bit pricey, but not outrageous. Meal took about an hour to arrive. The poppadoms were OK, but the pickle tray did not have a great amount of quantity for 4. There were 4 onion Bahji's, but they were undercooked and not very pleasant. For the mains we ordered the Desi Lamb, Mircha Masla, Palak Gohst amd Chicken Korma. The pilau rice although OK, was unattractive to look at. The C Korma was fine, but the other 3 had far too much salt in them and more sauce that meat. None of the dishes were particularly memorable or enjoyable While nothing terrible wrong with the meal, it was disappointing in quality, especially since 3 of the dishes were specialties of the restaurant. Could just be a one off, but unlikely to re-order

My daughter her boyfriend and I went to the Gherkin Mahal on New Year's Eve after being let down buy another local Indian restaurant, the food is nothing short of absolutely amazing, whilst we were having a few problems understanding the waiter especially with having to wear a face mask, he was thoroughly competent and a pleasant man so get yourself to the Gurkha Mahal you will not be disappointed, we are already on our second visit 😊

We went on opening night... Awesome food and service friendly staff Will go again
