Gurkha Swindon- Nepalese & Indian Restaurant in Swindon

A hidden gem ♥️ Lovely food and excellent service. Thank you for your hospitality!

Fantastic food and service, will definately be back. Lots of chicken in the Tikka Masala I ordered and lovey favour.

Our favourite takeaway, always the best and consistently delicious

Absolutely delicious food, service was outstanding!! Recommend to everyone try at least once…

Ended up in the bin as orderd a chicken tikka masala and oh wow it was mouth burning never had a masala like that befor wasted money food to spicy for what it was

Came in with some friends and had one of the best and most delicious meals ever. We ate so much and all the dishes we ordered came out at a nice pace. Ordered so much we had to take some home! Service was nice and relaxed and very friendly. Prices were good and atmosphere was also nice. Absolute recommended the chilli momos, paneer and the chicken choyla. Can't wait to come back!

Great food great service very nice staff

Great food, must find upstairs opposite Rudi’s

Great food and good value. Excellent masala chai

Very cosy place excellent food taste and food quantity is really good I would recommend it to everyone

Everything deliciius! Thanks for excellence service

I came with My Nepali friends I literally expect something different but I was massively and positively surprised! Food was genuinely good ! Really recommend for anyone wondering

Great food, excellent service and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

Amazing food, amazing service. I have visited this place three times in past three weeks. Tried chicken steamed momos and veg noodles. Both dishes had perfect 👌 level of taste and quality. Must try chicken wings with house beer.

Used their catering services first and they were so good. Good range of starters and main, all delivered on time and with great flexibility! Suraj is very good with communicating and always handy to answer any questions. Went to check out the restaurant a week later and the Nepali dishes were spot on! Really enjoyed every Nepali dish ordered. We will be back soon x

Had a fantastic experience at Gurkha Swindon! The food was delicious, with authentic Nepali flavors that really stood out. The highlight of our visit was when the owner generously offered us shots of their traditional Nepali spiced rum – a unique and flavorful touch that made the evening even more memorable. The service was warm and welcoming, making it an all-around great dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try something new and enjoy a true taste of Nepal!

Had a fab night, the food was outstanding and the service was 1st class. It was our sons 29th birthday and they made him feel very special, with the whole restaurant singing happy birthday to him. Well recommended and will be back again!

Great food and quick delivery!

It is a very nice restaurant with authentic Nepali food. If anyone is missing Desi Chinese food it's a must try if you want the food spicy they make it accordingly 😊

Friendly staff. Staff gave us good recommendations as this was our first time trying Nepalese food. Nice atmosphere.

The food and ambience was very good. The service was also amazing.

We had a great time ,everthing was perfect. The meal was excelent and we come back again. See us soon,thank you sooo much.

Food was amazing specially jo momo chicken soup

Very good experience and hospitality. Helped me sort out my parking when my phone wasn’t working ! Really tasty meal and helpful suggestions when we didn’t know what to order but wanted to taste different Nepalese food. 100% recommended

This restaurant is truly a beautiful place with an amazing ambiance—warm, welcoming. But what makes it even more special is the exceptional service. The waitress is always so sweet and attentive. A huge shoutout to the wonderful owner, who never fails to stop by for a quick chat, adding a personal touch to our dining experience. Highlight drink is the Desi Star! Every dish is bursting with authentic flavors, and what amazes us the most is how consistently perfect the taste is. Each visit is a delightful experience, and we can’t recommend this place enough. A must-visit for anyone who loves great food.

We had Chicken Madras and Chicken Tikka, not the most adventurous I grant you, but both were excellent, full flavoured and great quality. As takeaways become more expensive it’s really important that you feel you have had value for money and this meal certainly fulfilled that criteria. Definitely will order again and maybe go for one of the Chef Specials.Also quick delivery and food arrived hot, many thanks

The best takeaway food we’ve had - absolutely delicious

Lovely food, great service.it was quiet but we were there early evening.

The best indian Nepali restaurant in Swindon.. one should definitely try the momo noodles.. host is very considerate for the customers and ambience was mind blowing.. fyi.. 60s bollywood were cherry on top.. ❤️

Lovely food, enjoyed the service. Thank you Suraj.

Fantastic food and hospitality, thank you

Nice atmosphere and best Nepali food we have found in Swindon.

Best food in Swindon by a long shot been here a few times now and it never disappoints! Authentic as it gets!

Fantastic atmosphere and great food. Best Nepalese Restaurant in Town

Owner is very lovely, atmosphere is very lively and aesthetic. Great place to eat and drink, highly recommend!

Amazing. Food and service. Cannot recommend enough

Ordered 2 takeaway biryani's Chicken Biryani is completely a different taste (no/negligible spices)!! Quantity is okay.. Lassi and Raita is not upto the standards..!

Worth a visit to try some authentic Nepalese cuisine. Very authentic restaurant. The ambience is great, food was served hot and well prepared. Portion sizes are decent and priced at market related prices. The curries are authentic Nepalese and not indian. Very fresh ingredients and taste was on point. Service is slow and please ensure to specify dietary requirements up front. We will definitely be back.

Ordered the lamb handi as my main. The meat was quite rough and chewy, a disappointment. My keema naan on the side was quite delicious, however. The samosa chat I had for a starter was by far the standout. Absolutely wonderful. We were a party of 8, and it took quite a while for our food to come out. Not sure if this was due to the group size or if it’s a normal thing. Regarding the toilets, the men’s toilet doesn’t flush very effectively. And the sink releases the most pathetic trickle of water I’ve ever seen. Although there were some disappointments, this is a very fine restaurant. I would come back and get the samosa chat again 100% and order a different main to try.

Gurkha Swindon is a fantastic spot for authentic Nepalese food in Swindon. The dishes are packed with flavor, perfectly spiced, and made with fresh ingredients. Whether you like it mild or spicy, there’s something for everyone. The service is quick and efficient, and the staff are super friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. It’s the perfect place for a casual meal or a special night out. If you’re in Swindon and craving something delicious, Gurkha Swindon is definitely worth a visit!

My son took me to his favourite restaurant, The food was excellent 👌 The atmosphere was calm and very relaxing, staff were very friendly and we were served very quickly. We orderd veg noodles that I have to mention ,which were exceptional 👌 I just can not stop thinking of them. I would highly recommend this lovley restaurant once you eat here you will go back for more 😋

Very tasty food. Really enjoyed. Thank you.

One of the best experience of eating out. Very friendly staff and environment. I would definitely recomend this place for family dinner.

Amazing food, probably by far the best Indian cuisine I've had in Swindon ever, can't recommend enough. 10/10

Clean , hygienic and delicious food . Best Nepali restaurant in town so far 😋😋

Very delicious food, authentic nepali taste

cold pinned it exactly meat was overcooked and hard

Super we had a fantastic evening here and the food was outstanding

Nice foodVery tasty food enjoyed and good service from the staff

Food - Great Atmosphere - outstanding Service - now better place than Gurkha. Would recommend for great food and best service

It's so nice to have food here...I am bit enthusiast to say all this because right from food, service, friendly staff and very clean arrangements everything is awesome. Keep it up ...do not let my believe down on any of parameters.....

Great service and fantastic food

Amazing menu, our second visit will be back soon

Lovely food, best nepali food in Swindon!

Our second visit and the food was just as lovely this time. I am a fussy eater and they adapted the food to my taste. Party of 6 had a lovely evening. Very friendly staff. We will be going back again x

The Owner of the restaurant was excellent made you feel welcome good customer service, I would recommend going to this restaurant for a family dinner. Had a starter and a main meal and 2 soft drinks. Thanks for the food today it was Brilliant working 🙏🙏

Great lunch deal from Friday to Sunday! Sushi/Rice/Ramen with soft drink!

Definitely recommend 👌 Popped in on Friday night, Really tasty offering that packed a good spicy punch. Highly recommend the gunpowder main dish if you like the oddly addictive numbing sensation of sichuan pepper 😋😋😋 Very reasonable price too for the portion size and quality. Two beers, two starters, two mains, a nan and rice for ~£60. 👍

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, a hidden gem that brings the rich, vibrant flavours of Nepal to the heart of Swindon. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the genuine hospitality of the staff. The food was amazing, I would definitely recommend.

Amazing location, set up and hospitality. Food was amazing too. We really enjoyed it.

Nice place must go to try authentic Nepalese dishes in Swindon 🙂

I have been two times in restaurants it’s was very nice good and friendly staff thank you we see you soon

Always exceptional food, best in Swindon. 👍🏾

lovely food been here a few times now and has always been good

best Indian takeaway bar none !

It was a bit spicy for my taste this time around but still enjoyed regardless, keep it up 👍

Great place to try Nepalese cuisine. Lots of choice for vegans. Delicious food. Wonderful atmosphere and brilliant service at a really reasonable price.

We had a very enjoyable dinner with good food and great company. Every dish was full of flavor, and the service was very attentive. This is the perfect place for anyone who enjoys Nepalese cuisine.

You cannot beat the take away from Gurkha. So delicious!!

We have been visiting this restaurant since we came to swindon, really enjoyed the atmosphere and food here ,highly recomended.

Waited nearly 2 hours this evening for a delivery. Spent almost half an hour outside wandering around trying to find the delivery driver who for some reason couldn’t find the house (not an issue for others). Shame as will not order from them again Edit: further to the restaurant response- the driver hung up on us when we were outside trying to help him. The restaurant wouldn’t help when we called (twice). Just told us “it’s coming”. And yes we have ordered before, and had a bad experience previously (similar long wait) so this was the final chance

We visited Gurkha tonight. Food was so delicious 😋 and nice conversation with suraj.

Loved the food as always with some extra on it

I ordered the Choyla set from here and OMG it was soooo good. Took me right back to when my Nepali friend had cooked me dinner. 10/10… along with the food this place stands for great service too.

We visited Gurkh for the first time last night and will definitely be back. Food and service were excellent. We really enjoyed the Momos and the chicken lollipops, and all of our main courses ( there were 4 of us) were delicious.

Fantastic flavours but hotter than expected. Dishes were either VERY 'spicy' or mild. Definitely not medium. The single chilli symbol on menu is misleading. Hardcore curry lovers will be in heaven though.

Eaten in & just had our 1st takeaway. Best we've ever had just full of flavour & arrived piping hot. Eaten from so many curry places but this is the mutts nuts

Delicious food and huge portions. The salt and pepper squid and the chicken gunpowder curry were so tasty. Will definitely come back again!

Best Nepalese and Indian restaurant in Swindon. You must try their food. We had chicken lollipop crispy and juicy, tandoori chicken well cooked, veg momos 😍, veg chowmein and many more items. We would definitely recommend to everyone.

Everything was a little over cooked. No dipping sauce for the momo. Very expensive for lack lustre food.

Extremely happy with the service. Highly recommend to visit Gurkha Swindon if you like Nepalese and North Indian cuisines.

Great service with great food & atmosphere.

Lovely staff, great food, great price

Great tasty good. Would recommend 👍

Upon entering, the restaurant seemed quiet, only two other tables. I sat down for service and received a menu shortly after, the table was sticky and unclean, the waiter seemed lost as if she had just started working there, not knowing about the wine selection or certain items on the menu. 2nd issue. After ordering I had waited 30 minutes to receive a cup of chai. After another 20 minutes(1hr of waiting total so far) I finally received my order for sadeko veg momos. I am nepali and did not understand why it took so long for these two things, especially the chai. 3rd issue. I had ordered a veg Thali sat and I legitimately sat there for an additional 40 minutes waiting for one single Thali set. Mind you, another couple that sat next to me already paid and left, they also had to wait some time and deal with confusion from the waitress. I asked a total of 3 times when my order will be out to which I was answered with , a few more minutes. Finally, after more than an hour, I estimate an hour and half total time, I let the waitress know I wanted to cancel my order, to which she went into the kitchen to check on my order, to then tell me to wait more as it's almost done. I politely declined and told her I had waited too long. I paid for my two items and left unsatisfied both with the food and service. - a note to keep in mind in case my review gets seen by the owner. My entire review is based on my experience, and the photos/timestamps I took in between my orders, which is how I stated the exact times from when I ordered, to when I left.

Empty restaurant.No atmosphere.Service was a joke.Had to wait an hour for a piece of salmon.Was asked if I would like to eat my rice on its own as the salmon was taking so long( can you believe it) Bloody diabolical.

Food over salted. Service is ok. Toilet dirty. No lock in gents toilet. Tap is broken. No hot water. Definitely not recommended. The drink Lossi is rubbish. J2O so much nicer.

I have tried so many Nepalese restaurants in Asia, and I have to say I was impressed with Gurkha, the food was so delicious, and I was so excited to eat and forgot to take a photo of each dish haha! Shout out to the hospitality of the team, so thoughtful and considered, super friendly, and always with a smile on their faces. My favorite was the mono dumplings, chicken lollipops, chatpate, and thali. For the location, you guys just follow Google Maps and you find it easily, you can also park your car at the building nearby or opposite the restaurant. Uhh, writing this review makes me crave the food 😂. Best Nepalese restaurant so far! 👍👍👍👍👍

I really enjoyed my dinner with friends at Ghurka. The taste of the food and the authenticity of the restaurant deserve five stars. The service from the staff was excellent as well. I will definitely visit again, and I'm glad I tried this restaurant for a change.

We went to Gurkha kitchen to have a lunch.Food was amazing and service was great . Good atmosphere and We definitely gonna come back.

I got a takeaway from here for the first time tonight. The service was really friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. This was the best curry I can remember having. I will definitley go here again.

Amazing food and atmosphere the variety of options for dishes and flavours are amazing and all at really fair prices.

Not noodles - more like pasta spaghetti and drinks delivered wrong

Really good food. 100% worth it. 2 starters 3 mains and 3 naan ( 14 pieces) came to around £60, the chiken was really good. Lamb was equally so. Lolly pop chiken and momos make for great starters.

Bit missing ordered onion bargi and 7 up. I phoned the restaurant. I got my 7 up but did not get the rest

Amazing food I love it. Tried things I’ve never tried before and found them gorgeous. Definitely a great place I highly recommend

The food was amazing and full of flavour. The service was also brilliant, very warm and friendly.

Nice reception and great food. Momo's taste fantastic. Place is a hidden gem of Swindon.

really delicious food and warm on delivery

Beautiful food very happy. Nice touch on the packing aswell. Will definitely be ordering again!!
