food wasn't the best, had a noodle in my curry so went straight into the bin. won't order again, delivery came early, the woman was early and if I had disabilities the way she rung the buzzer is ridiculous, didn't even give it a few seconds before ringing repeatedly!

Dreadful, 6 miniscule supposed king prawns floating in a bland watery supposed madras and an undercooked naan despite having to wait nearly two hours for it arriving, all for the princely sum of 16 quid, ridiculous. Avoid avoid, avoid.

My boyfriend and I tried this restaurant after our Airbnb host recommended it to us, and we had an AMAZING experience here. The owner greeted us with a smile and treated us like royalty…we felt right at home and very comfortable after a long day of exploring Edinburgh. 😊 The food was also superb; we have tried many Indian and Nepalese restaurants in the UK and in Canada, and Ghurkas was by far the best we have ever tasted. The poppadoms, curries, and dips were delicious. After our meal, we were brought warm towelettes for our hands and squares of After Eight chocolate! What a treat. Everyone should try Ghurkas!

Flavourless food tasted like it had been pre made, frozen, defrosted, and then sold. I won't order from here again. I've said that before and went back, but this time I mean what I say. I would advise others not to buy from here! What a shame that I need to leave such a review. My town deserves better quality for the prices we are being charged. We deserve better.

2 hours and 35 minutes and still no food. Requested a refund which I will have to take up with just eat. I had to call twice. I left a note with instructions about how to find my address (which is on a the main road into Penicuik) but was told they’d been trying to contact me and couldn’t get through. Was given excuse about car crash, last time I had to chase up my order as well which was pushing 2 hours when it arrived…incorrect and missing an item. Disastrous place.

Hidden gem, providing inexpensive, delicious and unusual curries - their traditional Nepalese food is absolutely fantastic (Himalayan dumplings and Timuri Lamb are superb, and I'd never had them before), as are theri curry-shop standards.

After bouldering, 3 of us decided to go for a meal here. We arrived close to 9:30 pm (almost closing time), so we were going to order take away. Staff were incredibly friendly and invited us to sit in. The service was impeccable, the food was divine and we had a lovely time over there. The food is very reasonably priced and the portions are generous. 10/10, will return for sure!

Had to write a review of this amazing restaurant. Got two takeaways about a week apart during our stay in Edinburgh. Both absolutely outstanding quality. Everything from the soft perfectly cooked nan bread to the fluffy delicious pilau rice and superb curries was mouth wateringly tasty. All dishes were piping hot and well packed. Good sized portions too and the prices are very reasonable. Service was prompt and most courteous. What more could you want. Highly recommended !!! Thank you to all at Gurkhas Penicuik for the lovely meals. We will certainly be returning on our next visit to Edinburgh.

This is about the third time I’ve ordered from Gurkhas and while it’s usually on time, today the food was 20 mins later than the end of the adjusted timeframe. I understand that small businesses can be hard put to it in unexpected busy periods, but for the price it costs to be that late and have the food arrive only lukewarm isn’t great. I don’t much like having to wait well over the time I’m promised and then have to spend time reheating the food when it arrives. A real shame as the staff are all nice and the food is good, but food delivery lives and dies on getting it to you hot and on time.

My wife, my son and I visited just a few days ago. We had previously ordered for home delivery, but this was the first visit to the restaurant. Food and service is excellent! I had a king prawn starter (prawns were still in their shells), and the prawns were butterflied - they were accompanied by what I think was a raita and a little salad - also some sauce intertwined in red and green. Lovely! My main course was Chicken Pokhreli - absolutely outstanding! I also had steamed rice and garlic & coriander naan breads. The Pokhreli is an authentic Nepalese dish and it actually has nettles in it, but please do not be put off with that! Just wanted to say that my family and I were treated so well by the fantastic staff - we even had a quick chat with the chef! Will definitely return!!

Delivery arrived after 1.5 hrs unsurprisingly cold. One of the dishes was wrong and my curry had 8 small pieces of chicken in it. Called to complain about the wrong dish and was told they would resend the whole order again. Did not want to wait another 1.5 hrs so said I would collect. Order then cooked in 10 mins. Got home and dish was still wrong. At least I got double the amount of chicken in the end. Poor show though.

Arrived 4.45, waited 15 mins before anyone came near us, ordered starter, waited another hour before our main meal came. Numerous excuses, such as we cook your food fresh, then the order didn't go through, people who came in after us were served, paid and away before we were served our meal which was lukewarm . All in all a pretty miserable night for my wife's birthday ! Won't be back.
