Gurkha's Inn in Winchester

One of the best curry house in town. Awesome food and familiar environment.. Everyone should try..you don't regret...

An incredibly charming tiny bistro is one of my favorite places to eat dinner. It's the ideal place to spend a laid-back evening because of its cozy atmosphere. A delicious selection of foods are available on the menu. The attention to detail, though, is what really draws me in. The staff is always willing to suggest a wonderful food. All in all, it's a beautiful location with a nice atmosphere and a delicious lunch. Every time I go, I'm full and excited to come back.

Really ecxellent food and service .Kathmandu lamb and paneer chilli were awesome.great atmosphere in the restaurant on busy saturday night.Highly recommend !!!!

Tried this lovely Nepalese and Indian cuisine restaurant in Winchester again,very delicious food & attentive service,they really looked after us .This Gurkha restaurant is became our regular place to dine .well done guys!!! Keep it up

The perfect place to go and eat out with friends, I constantly go back here as I love the authentic curry and the delicious momo. I have been recommending my friends to come here and they also love the place. Even when busy the service was incredible and my food was not a long wait, the food tasted perfect even with a busy restaurant and they didn’t lack any performance.

Service slow and specific requests not followed with orders

Fantastic restaurant with some dishes that are slightly different from a standard Indian meal.

Excellent Nepalese and Indian food with great service from very friendly staff. Papadoums and drinks were brought quickly. My main, a lamb curry had 1 * in the menu and was slightly hot, enough to clear the sinuses, and very tasty.

Pretty good starter, had the lamb samosas. The kathmandu curry with lamb was absolutely incredible with garlic and special rice. Cannot recommend enough

The restaurant was cosy and inviting, the service was professional and warm, whilst the curry (Katmandu) was EXCEPTIONAL! What a wonderful experience!

Amazing food. Nothing left to say

Very enjoyable meal, good service. Nice atmosphere. One of my friends said it was one of the best curries he'd ever eaten! Praise indeed.

Amazing food and great staff The lamb Hyderbadi was the best curry I’ve had in the UK 😃 We ordered a takeaway for a large amount of us and the staff were super speedy and helpful with our collection.

We have just moved to Winchester and heard about this restaurant, it did not disappoint. The Katmandu curry was superb. Highly recommend for a good evening and reasonably priced too.

One of the nicest Indian meals we've ever had, really fresh-tasting curries and beautiful naan breads. Wish we weren't just in Winchester for a couple of days, we'd definitely be regulars!

Great place for dining. Friendly staff.

We have just had an amazing Nepalese meal at Ghurka's inn winchester. Fantastic food.

Excellent polite service and food was excellent. We opted for Nepalese dishes which were full of flavour and of high quality. Very reasonably priced.

Visited with friends who recommended this restaurant. Absolutely delicious food, served promptly and delightful service. We shared the vegetable starter platter, all delicious usual Indian snacks. Main courses were also delicious- my chicken tikka masala with saffron rice was one of the best I have had for a long time. My husband had a chicken house special which he also said was one of the nicest curries he has had in ages. Very good value too.

Fantastic, delicious food! Very friendly service. Too bad we were there during vacation and can't come by more often.

Very popular restaurant and deservedly so. Small, intimate with well trained staff and excellent food.

We had a such a great experience at this delightful place. Our waiter was friendly and attentive from start to finish and ensured we had a lovely meal. Chef's kiss to the food, it was so well flavoured and deliciously spiced. Thoroughly recommend the Kathmandu Lamb dish & the Dhal Makhani was a wonderful accompaniment to it. Don't forget to wash it down with the Kathmandu Beer! Will definitely be back for more when we're back in Winchester :)

Best curry in Winchester. Food is amazing and the staff are always friendly and efficient in equal measure.

Friendly and efficient service. We enjoyed generous portions of delicious food, I can happily recommend the sea bass. The only downside is that it can get very noisy

Really nice and authentic Indian/Nepalese food. Gurkha’s revenge is a must try if you can tolerate a little spice.

We were a group of 12 from Hursley and had the most delicious meal and great service, with a smile. Going back soon.

Food is delicious and served in good time even when busy. Staff are nice and friendly! Can be quite a loud atmosphere because the room isn’t very big but that depends on who’s there.

Amazing meal and wonderful service. Gopal was so kind to arrange a taxi for us and the service was so efficient and friendly.

My partner and I were very, very impressed with this place. It's a lovely, cosy restaurant with wonderful food and it was very easy to get a meal which was both gluten free and vegetarian (due to my special dietary requirements). The service was friendly and professional. We'll definitely return as soon as possible.

Wow! One of the best currys i've had in a long time. I had Egg Rice and Tikka Madras with Garlic Naan and Poppadums. Writing this i'm wishing I was sat eating it again. Yummmm.

We went here while visiting family in Winchester. The food was lovely and the service great. Can’t fault it. Would definitely recommend. I wish I had somewhere as nice as this closer to home! Will visit again when back in Winchester.

Absolutely banging food. Really tasty and authentic. Would definitely go back. Really friendly staff too.

A group of 8 of us agreed, that this place delivers an all round fantastic curry house experience. The food and service in particular were brilliant. I hope to be back.

Very kind, fast and efficient service. AMAZING food and some rarer curries you cannot find everywhere. Good choice of rices and breads. The peshwari naan was particularly nice, so was the garlic rice.

We popped in without a booking on the way back to the station, knowing we like Gurkha food. We were very happy. It’s a little squeezed space wise but food is fab. Service is great.

Chosen from a google search of places to eat in Winchester. What a great find. The food was fabulous. We would definitely recommend.

Fantastically good food. Nepalese/Indian menu. Here there were many dishes in addition to the usual Indian that you know. Exciting. Also excellent service.

Friendly, good value and authentic food. Good selection on the menu including traditional Northern Indian as well as Nepalese. Fast service. We had left an umbrella and returned next day to find it safely stored.

Had the Gurkhas revenge curry. It is excellent 👌

Tasty food, friendly and attentive service, and rightly popular. Thank you.

Very friendly staff ,fantastic food

Great service, amazing food, that came super quickly. Really recommend !

We went for lunch on a weekday so it's not crowded. The food tastes great with amazing spices, and the appetiser comes in a portion that's bigger than expected. Very friendly staff. Will definitely go again.

Glad to find this little gem for lunch. Tried their lunch special today and food is delicious. Cosy small place and service is good. Will love to go back again.

Had a great meal here last night. Food was excellent as was the service. Would definitely return when in Winchester next

Possibly best curry in town! Food tasty, did not disappoint!

Lovely food and attentive staff. It's a small place though, so be ready to feel very close to other diners 😊

Consistently great food Dishes are unique and full of flavour Customer service is always very pleasant More expensive than other local Indian restaurants, but worth the money in comparison. Only negative is the lack of seating, so if you plan on eating in, book in advance

Authentic food, my wife’s first experience of food from this region and she came away a fan ….

The best in Winchester, great service, consistently flavourful food.

Very welcoming even though we had no booking great food and quick service

I enjoyed the food and the service, the staff are very polite and willing to make this a nice experience. The food was great, but if you are not a fan of spicy staff, choose carefully.

We were a big group... All our food arrived at the same time and was delicious. Staff were great.

One of the best indian food I've ever had

Delicious food, very good service, highly recommend this place in Winchester.

Supremely reliable Nepalase / Indian restaurant near to the train station and city centre. Visited just before Christmas and service was impressively good despite the restaurant being packed. Managed to order some Indian classics like Dal Makhani and. Mattar Paneer which aren't always on offer at Bangladeshi type restaurants and takeaways. The vegetarian offering is particularly good. Only let down very slightly by being quite tightly packed in with other diners - some of whom were very drunk for the time of night. Wouldn't have been Ideal for those looking for a quiet meal.

Really pleased to discover this gem in Winchester. Food, service and atmosphere were all top class. Be sure to book as it was constantly full on the evening we were there. It seems other people agree that it’s well worth a visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had very good food. Dining experience was also nice.

Great curry house with good food, good service and nice vibe

Lovely food, relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Small atmospheric Nepali restaurant. Also caters Indian curry. Delicious food and very friendly staff. Booking is almost essential 👍

Outstanding food and enough with 2 courses. Great service, but a little cramped. Been back several times.

We dined at the restaurant where the staff were friendly and courteous. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. Great visit. Great restaurant.

Don't waste your money in this place. The staff were rude and made us feel like an inconvenience to be rushed out the door as quickly as possible. Our booking was for 6.30pm and at about 7.45pm we were told we needed to give up our table at 8.00pm for another booking, despite our food not arriving until around 7.20pm. This gave us roughly 40 minutes to eat starters and mains and no time for dessert or a coffee if we had wanted one... a very disappointing experience.

The food here was absolutely lovely, it was beautifully spiced and advice was available on heat levels 😉. It is however a place to eat and leave. The atmosphere is very loud and there is virtually no circulation space due to the tightly packed seating. That said if you want to dine with friends do as we did dine and depart for conversation and a bit more space.

The only place to get a curry in Winchester. Food is always exceptional and the staff are even better. My parents visit once a year and every time we go, they are remembered & greeted like they are regulars. Couldn't recommend it more

Really good food and service by the lovely Gopal. Will go back whenever in Winchester next.

Absolutely cannot fault this place. One of the best meals we've had and the service was A+++. We polished off all our plates and were happily full. We also had a wine each and at less than £25 each it was a bargain. So much flavour! Highly recommended.

One of the best asian Restaurant where i ever eat. Absolutely recommended !!!

Outstanding food and friendly staff. If you're looking for excellent food, then look no further

Couldn't find fault, all dishes very tasty and filling of course

Terrific food at a reasonable price, so tasty. Service was wonderful and the ambience was great.

Lovely evening out and all of the food was delicious. The staff was very attentive and the food came out fairly quickly. I definitely think this is the best place for a curry in Winchester

Gurkha's never disappoints and having been many times without reviewing I thought it was time I did! Flavours are excellent, service is fast and conducted with a smile, both of which mean this is well worth visiting. There's a lot to like so if you haven't been yet, make time to do so, it's worth it.

Wonderful food. Excellent service. Thank you

The resturant was buzzing. Dishes were delicious. Great choice available. Could not fault the service. What more can I say? No hesitation in recommending Gurkha's Inn as confident you will have a really enjoyable experience with respect to the meal and overall ambiance.

Delicious food and reasonably priced.

I did enjoyed the place and the food was good too.Just being a typical nepalese the rice portion was too small but this portion would be enough foe non nepalese😁

Hands down one of the best places to eat in Winchester, certainly the best for curry! The Gurkha inn has a buzzing and cosy atmosphere, with great selection of drinks to welcome you with! Interesting and authentic food at it's finest, which is always at the highest quality ! Staff are lovely and super attentive, even gave my father a lovely birthday suprise at the end! This place never disappoints, would highly recommend if you love your food !

Delicious Nepalese curry with great service

Amazing food and very quick to deliver! The honey chicken was incredible!

Excellent food and service, couldn't be happier 😊

Great food and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

I came straight from the railway station and was super hungry after a train trip that included delays. Excellent service and fantastic Nepalese food really cheered me up. I was so hungry that I took the starter called “spice Nepalese chicken”, and didn’t even realise it was a starter, so hearty was the portion, caramelised battered chicken pieces with fried chili, pepper and onion, an amazing treat. It was so good I actually went back again later the same day.

Pleasant helpful staff. Advised on menu and served promptly with polite, friendly manner. Very good food from the A La Carte Menu. I recommend a visit. Well maintained restaurant with and dinning area.

We booked a table with friends for a lunch time meal to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. We knew we loved the food as they did our wedding food for us and it was one of the things people commented on most! Even still, we were still blown away by the flavours of the menu! Highly recommend the chargrilled starters on the lunch menu. Because we are greedy, we also ordered a couple of extra mains, which were delicious. Chilli paneer always good, and another dish you can't go wrong with is Nepalese pork with peppers (can't remember what this one is called officially!). We left absolutely stuffed, but very happy! The staff are also always so friendly and flexible and were so gracious about me asking questions and changing our arrangements. We'll be back for the next occasion!

Great food. Love pork curry .love the service. Very fast service.

Delicious food .I really enjoy everything there . Friendly staff .

Taste good and very good service. Definitely come next .

food was awesome. great hospitality

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. The food was full of flavour and not over spicy. We would return at the drop of a hat.

Love this restaurant. Food, service and atmosphere are 10/10. Will go back many more times.

Great food and great service. Nice and spicy, but not blow our head off spicy....well the dishes I had were. Sure there is something on the menu that will!

Excellent meal last night at the Gurkha Inn. First visit and memorable for the very tasty food, well served in a friendly eatery. Thanks guys.

Top service and amazing food, hope to visit again when passing through Winchester

Good food good value they have kept the lunchtime deal menu to a sensible price not like most other places in Winchester

Best in Winchester - amazing food & even bigger portions with takeaway. Really good chili paneer!

Went with a group on Sunday 5th Feb,had an excellent meal and the group of people I went with also enjoyed the meal ,would gladly recommend, I had the king prawn dhansak that was great.

Took my family for a meal here yesterday. We were barely greeted as we entered and tables were so close you were sat on top of each other. Service was terrible, they allegedly only had one type of white wine (the most expensive) despite having multiple on the wine menu and saying yes to the different kind of wine I ordered. They then dropped the wine off at the table without telling us it was not the right one. Incorrect dishes kept being dropped at the table and drinks orders were ignored. When the food eventually came it did taste nice, or so we thought at the time. Fast forward 12 hours later and three out of five of us (so far) who haven’t eaten anything the same since have come down with the worst food poisoning we have ever had. We called the restaurant to which they said it’s not their problem or anything they can do as they only serve the food, the manager was not back for weeks and he may or may not call. The worst place to eat in Winchester by far.

I wish I could give 0 star. I have never reviewed any restaurant or anything till today but couldn’t stop myself from doing it for the first time. We wanted to have Nepalese food yesterday 15/02/023 so booked a table for 3 & went there, ordered the food. The food came around 18:35 which was pretty much alright with the timing. But as soon as we emptied our plates, a man which I feel is the owner (not sure though) cleared our table. In less than 5 minutes time, the same guy brought us our bill which we didn’t even ask for, as we were still drinking our beers. We paid the bill and when I said him we haven’t finished yet, he said the same table we were given is booked for 19:30. We were about to order next round of beers, but indirectly all he wanted was us to leave which we felt kind of rude. Being a Nepalese we came searching a Nepali restaurant when we were in Winchester and all he did was insult. When a table is reserved already then why to even give it to us? And we were not even walking customers, we also called & booked a table before coming. When I saw around still some of the tables were there without any guest. All I would like to say is if the restaurant wants to take a customer than non of the person will empty their table on the restaurant’s allocated specific time unless its the closing time. All he wanted was us to finish our food and wrap up so that they could sell the same table for other customers. Its the right of every customers to stay and spend some quality time with their friends and family as its a dine in restaurant not a FAST FOOD. It was my last evening in Winchester and before leaving back home I wanted to dine in but all he did was ruined our vibe and the evening. I would never in my life time suggest nepalese people to go to this restaurant as we felt its focused just for the English people. We had the most annoying evening there.NEVER COMING BACK.
