I recently dined at Gurkhas in Balham, and I can’t recommend it enough! The food was absolutely incredible. The staff were also friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each dish and helping us choose based on our preferences. Their recommendations were spot on, and we ended up trying some amazing flavors we wouldn't have chosen otherwise. It was also very reasonably priced, with generous portion sizes. If you're in the mood for authentic Nepalese cuisine, Gurkhas is definitely the place to go!

Amazing Nepalese food! Gurkha’s is one of our favourite restaurants in Balham and we have very nearly worked our way through the whole menu during our 3 years living here! Not only is the food great but the staff are also very kind and warm.

Have lived in Balham for 2 years and I'm gutted to have not found this place sooner. We had never had Nepalese food in past so the menu was unfamiliar but the waiter was great at recommendations - clearly very knowledgable. We went for a huge spread and it was all incredible. The lamb on the bone just fell away and the sauce was incredible. Perfect, friendly service. We went on a Tuesday so it was quiet but the atmosphere was still lovely. Already planning to come back next week.

Little known gem in Balham, food was spot on! Authentic Nepalese food, momos were so good and the roasted pork and chicken with spinach sauce was so tasty and well balanced. Service was so friendly, typical Nepalese hospitality! Cannot give 10 stars on here but well deserved

Honestly I do not know why it's taken so long to try this restaurant - I'm so impressed! My partner and I popped in after seeing their 21st Birthday offer of 15% off the bill and we will definitely be returning; the service was excellent, all the staff were so friendly and professional and the food arrived quickly; food was really fresh and nicely seasoned and the menu included a lot of options. Even without the discount, the prices are really reasonable. 100% recommend this little Balham gem!

Fantastic flavours, impeccable service - all around a wonderful experience. My dad has memories of Nepalese cuisine from his childhood, and he was very impressed. The food had delicate flavours, and you could taste each and every spice that they had added to the meals. Even more importantly, the food was not oily like you might find in other places. Overall, the quality and flavours were wonderful. Especially recommend the momo cha and Kathmandu pork. The service was brilliant! I was really impressed - the waiters took the time to explain and recommend dishes in detail and engaged in lots of friendly conversations with us. It was a lovely dining experience - my dad said he felt special dining here. They took care of us in a way that he said felt like the old British dining experience. Will definitely return!

Had a lovely experience at Gurkha’s Balham. The service was incredibly attentive and we really enjoyed the food. It was authentic and flavourful! We had momo cha and spicy prawn crackers for starters. Tarai chicken, sunsari pork and dhahi bhanta for mains which were all delicious and would 100% get again. We’re locals of Balham and glad we got to try Gurkha’s, it really lived up to the reviews and would highly recommend to anyone who lives close by or is visiting.

We wanted food of Nepal & we got it! Overall, we really enjoyed the food here however I felt our Nakese starter had been microwaved to warm it up and then sauce added. The Sherpa lamb was very tasty and the Sunsari pork was delicious. Service was excellent however a young, inexperienced waiter kept walking up & down the restaurant which was distracting. toilet is very clean. We’re planning to come back here and try more delights. Our Recommendation to the Owner is that they should consider better lighting to create a more appealing, comfortable ambiance. View other successful restaurants and their interior designs for ideas.

We had dinner yesterday evening at this restaurant and it was wonderful. Despite just being 2 staff (a lovely server and the manager, Nischal) they were so attentive and helpful, amazing service! It was our first time having Nepalese food and we ate a lot - it was all delicious, well cooked and tender meat, great flavour and much variety. The desserts also were very good, note the banana fritter like dessert was not oily at all. In fact none of the food including the curries were oily which is great! Mango Lassi big and refreshing, my friend loved his wine - he said it was fruity and fragrant and my husband loved his Nepalese beer. We definitely recommend this place, with it's lovely restaurant layout, tasty dishes and fantastic service!

London has many places with delicious food. This is one of them. Great use of spices. London has less places with delicious food and tables that aren’t crushed together. Even rarer in London is delicious food, a comfortable place to dine plus warm and friendly service. Gurkha’s is that rarity.

A prawn 🦐🍤 too far I suppose getting seafood dishes from a landlocked country is not such a good idea. Well, one of the party of eight did. I have to say that the prawn curry was bland and the prawn was chewy. Not something you would expect from fresh food. My salmon curry, another bad idea, was actually not bad but it felt like someone had taken frozen cubes of salmon and put them in a cashew nut curry. There was hardly any spiciness to any of the dishes which was quite disappointing. Service was adequate and the restaurant was clean. However it did not have the vibe of someplace exotic. Someplace I was going to go to soon on another yoga adventure. Luckily for me I had a great night thanks to everyone in the group. Would I go again? Not unless they improve the food. Tell you what... I will review this again after I return from Nepal 😉😂 I m a fair man I want local businesses to succeed and get better 😁

Visited (and ordered delivery) a number of times, food is always brilliant - I didn't veer away from my usual order of Mayur Lamb and chow-chow (noodles) but will one day! It's a real shame that Nepalese food hasn't become more celebrated in the UK as it's so good. Service was also really good, particularly as it was a Sunday night when you can imagine work is the last thing you want to be doing. Prices are extraordinarily reasonable as well. Just go here, you won't be disappointed.

My friend and I have passed by this restaurant several times, and this Sunday, we decided to try it for an early dinner. My intention with this review is not to complain but to offer constructive feedback, as neither the staff nor the manager grasped the significance of our dining experience. I know the potential consequences of leaving a negative review for a business; however, it was necessary to convey our message this way. We ordered the platter for two, and when it arrived, it appeared less than fresh and somewhat dull. We attempted to taste the meat, but unfortunately, it was inedible and reheated in a microwave. We also ordered the Malaysian Chili Pepper Beef, which puzzled us as we tried to identify the dish. It consisted of small pieces of dried meat covered in a dark, chewy batter and an intensely spicy, sticky sauce. The best word to describe this dish would be "horrible." Additionally, we ordered garlic bread, but I need words to describe it, as it bore little resemblance to what one would expect from garlic bread. The most disappointing part of our experience occurred when we brought our concerns to the attention of the first waiter. Instead of addressing our concerns, he called over a second waiter, who became defensive and intimidated us during our discussion. We then requested to speak with the manager. After explaining our situation, he surprisingly stated that we were the first customers to express dissatisfaction with the food quality. While he offered to remove some items from our bill, it was unfortunate that he did not fully understand our feedback. Interestingly, the table across from us also complained about their food quality. My advice is that running a business involves several vital aspects from the moment you start until you close your doors. The food you serve should accurately reflect what's described on the menu. Trust me, if you cut corners with your food, customers will notice quickly, harming your reputation. Additionally, it’s crucial to have a staff that listens to customer feedback. As a business owner, I find it essential to address these issues.
