It was our first visit and it won't be out last . The table we were offered was in the centre of the restaurant but we asked if we could have a table in a quiet corner and it was no problem. All the staff that came to our table were very nice and we had just the right amount of time in-between ordering and receiving our drinks and food. The food was served onto hot plates and was very nice. We thought it was a good potion size and very flavoursome. The only thing that we did not like was that the music was very loud. We will definitely visit again.

I ordered a delivery which took one and a half hours to be delivered on a Wednesday evening. When it arrived the food was just about warm. Very disappointing indeed. Will not be ordering again such a shame.

Ate here on Thursday Night for the first time as we had noticed it always smelled good when we walked by!. We were not disappointed, the Food both starters and Main were awesome, and good sized portions too and reasonably priced. A lovely Birthday treat! The restaurant itself was lovely, clean and comfy and the staff all so friendly and helpful. The added bonus was when we found out that there was 20% discount on a Thursday night, which we didn't know. Looking forward to going again to sample some more of their lovely dishes. Can Highly recommend

First time to this place on a Saturday night, couldn't believe how busy it was! Made a really nice atmosphere. All staff were very friendly and drink and food orders were taken quickly considering how many people were in. We have a few different starters and some of the chef special mains, everything was delicious! The spice level was just right and it was just the right size. We really rated it and will definitely be back.

We ordered food last night (Saturday)for delivery paid £52 they did warn us it could take upto an hour and half but aimed for an hour which we accepted. The food was delivered an hour and 25 minutes later. It was very disappointing when we started eating it firstly it wad only like warm the samosas had sweated in the box and were soggy in the middle the onion bhajis were cold and again. Sweated in Container we heated it in the microwave vut the taste of.the oil it.was cooked in overtook any flavour of.the onion bhaji. The butter chicken and pilau rice was OK after heating in the microwave the lamb organ josh was very bland and very disappointing. The keema nan and peswari nan was again cold and then soggy when reheated. Overall not a meal we enjoyed at all we threw the majority of it away. We have eaten in the restaurant before and that was enjoyable and the food was better. Definitely won't be ordering again.

Perhaps my timing was wrong.. i ordered a takeaway on a Saturday night, told to pick up in 45 mins, went to collect 45 mins later, the place was very busy, i waited another 30 mins in the restaurant for the food, while I was waiting some staff were asking other staff members which table number had just ordered food and drinks, also 2 seperate tables had complained while paying at the till whilst i was there, about the poor service.. Got home and the order was not as I asked for, i phoned back and demanded a full refund, which was given when i returned the food the next day.. poor attention to detail, badly trained staff which showed in the level of compitents and complaints..

Gurkha Oven has consistently earned my highest praise with a perfect 10/10 rating. In my 14 visits, I've never experienced anything less than fresh and flavorful dishes. The staff is kind and respectful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. It's not just about the outstanding taste; it's also remarkably affordable. Despite having explored various Indian restaurants in London, Gurkha Oven stands out as one of the best overall. I am confident that each visit will continue to exceed expectations, making it my go-to choice in the city.

Came in this evening table booked at 5.30. When we came in and was shown to our table and our drinks order was taken everything was good then our order as taken and again all was fine. Our starters arrived and as usual the food was fantastic and then our main arrived and again the chefs cooked the food perfectly. Then it all went down hill. By 6.30 the restaurant became full and the bar area was full with people having take away. Which meant that for us we was ignored. Not once did we have a server near us or did anyone come to see if we was ok. We would've had another bottle of wine if any staff came near us! We had finished our meal and had to just sit hoping someone would come to us! But they never did we was completely left alone. After finishing our meal and not having any check back to see if we were ok I had to signal to someone to please bring us the bill even though our food had not been cleared or any person had come to see if we had finished and taken our plates away or indeed if we wanted anything else not even an apology thr we hadn’t been seen to. Once the waitress brought our bill in some sort of tin and with no mention of asking if anything was ok or did we need anything else just put the bill on the table I then had to ask as she was walking away if she could bring the card machine as we just really wanted to leave as soon as possible as our evening had be ruined. we still had our food in front of us and dirty plates. She then said as she walked off she would get someone to bring it over to us. She then moved and took another few tables orders. I had to then get another waitress to bring the card machine we then paid the bill and still at this point we still had our main meal food and plates front of us!! I totally understand that the restaurant had gotten busy but the total lack of service that we had was unexceptionable because they clearly could not cope nor did there seem to be any sort of plan or job roles. I would think twice about going again. Such a shame as the food was really good.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gurkha Oven in Spalding and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and excellent service that made us feel right at home. To start off our meal, we ordered the momos, prawn puri, and chaat, and each dish was an absolute treat for the taste buds. The momos were perfectly steamed and packed with flavorful filling along with the special chutney, while the prawn puri had a delightful crunch and a burst of seafood goodness. The chaat was a wonderful medley of tangy and spicy flavors that left us craving for more. What really made our visit memorable was the fact that we were celebrating our nephew's birthday. The staff at Gurkha Oven went above and beyond to make it a special occasion. They surprised us with a beautifully presented birthday dessert complete with a candle and a heartfelt rendition of the birthday song. Our nephew was overjoyed, and we were touched by the thoughtfulness and attention to detail displayed by the staff. Although the service was a tad slow but that may be because they were understaffed and the restaurant was packed for a Wednesday night. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and always ready to assist us with any requests or questions we had. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a family celebration. Overall, our dinner at Gurkha Oven was nothing short of fantastic. The delicious food, outstanding service, and the extra effort taken to make our nephew's birthday special truly exceeded our expectations. We left the restaurant with smiles on our faces and hearts full of gratitude. I highly recommend Gurkha Oven Spalding to anyone seeking a delightful dining experience filled with delectable flavors and exceptional service.
