Gurkhas Penicuik in Midlothian

We planned a quick supper here prior to an evening engagement. A big mistake. This is a little gem of a place that deserves to be the reason for a night out, not just a convenient adjunct. The welcome was warm and accommodating. The service was friendly and faultless. The atmosphere was relaxed with lots of small groups clearly enjoying a convivial evening. The food was plentiful and thoroughly delicious. The bill was modest for what we were served. All in all, a highly recommended experience. Please do not flock here as we want to be sure there will be space for us when we book our next dinner!!

The lamb chops I had for starters were delicious and tasted even better with the mint yogurt. Then the "Bheda Ko Masu" lamb on the bone with a very flavorful sauce and the rice cooked to perfection. My stepmother and brother also really enjoyed their food. The owner was super friendly and a very funny man, he made us feel welcome I would recommend this place for sure 😁. 10/10. We'll be back.

Fantastic food and good size portions! The owner was very friendly and welcoming. Would 100% recommend

Excellent food. The lamb was so tender it melted off the bone. Food was plentiful and at very reasonable price. Host is charming with a wonderful sense of humour.

Amazing food, incredible hosting. Go there and experience first class hospitality. Went there for my 50th birthday and the owne really looked after us.

Food was delicious and plentiful. Totally authentic. Service was wonderfully entertaining. Wonderful host.

The food here is really outstanding and great value for money. Very friendly staff and excellent service too. I will definitely be back here - one of the best places I've eaten out at in a while!

The food sounds lovely but I'm not prepared to pay the ridiculous delivery charge. The highest in the area. shame because it means I will order from elsewhere because of it.

Friendly service and curry full of spice and flavour. Had plenty of good curries in Scotland but this rates as one of my best.

Visited the Gurkhas on the way back from the World Cycling Championships at Glentress. The reviews were good, so we thought let’s give it a go. It was so good that we went back two days later after the cycling again. I’ve eaten in so top curry houses in London, Birmingham and Leeds. The Gurkhas is right up there with the best. Fantastic Danzak, Dupiaza and Korma were consumed along with stunning naan. The manager is the nicest guy too. Next time we’re biking at Glentress we’ll certainly be back at the Gurkhas. Shame it’s a couple of hundred miles away or we’d be regulars

We had the best night out. It was a family get together. We had come over from New Zealand to visit family. The food was yummy. We had many different dishes and they all tasted lovely. The service was excellent and that is what made the night so much fun. The waiter/manager had the best sense of humor that really made our night. Thank you for an excellent night out.

This was a chance find and it turned out to be a great choice. Friendly staff, freshly cooked food and reasonably priced.

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. Highly recommend - Penicuik is very lucky to have this restaurant!

Amazing food, excellent customer service together with vale for money! What more can a customer ask for. Highly recommended! 😀❤️

INCREDIBLE Food, INCREDIBLE customer service! I walked in hungry and annoyed (bad day) . I walked out happy and content. Lovely business owners and staff & the food 10/10! Would recommend to anyone. No to EVERYONE!!

The food is amazing and the staff really friendly. I recommend the meat platter in the starters as well as the paneer. Beautiful. You can tell everything is freshly made. I will be returning!

Totally amazing food, so delicious. Best lamb dish we have ever had. Staff are lovely and friendly. 100% can't recommend enough.

The food here is excellent and the service equally brilliant. We were on a visit to Scotland and I’m gutted it’s too far for us to visit again soon!

We went to Ghurka last night and had a truly delicious meal. There were lots of excellent meat and veggie options, and the garlic naan was exceptional. We had a warm welcome on arrival and excellent service from lovely staff. 10/10 recommend.

First time eating at the restaurant in person, though we often order take away - delicious food and friendly staff, well worth a visit

What a lovely evening of good food, vegetarian and non vegetarian, good service and a relaxed atmosphere. The toddler in the group was well catered for. A surprise cake brought out for my son’s birthday was an unexpected and special touch. Highly recommend Gurkhas

Delicious food and a friendly welcome. Real attention to detail with presentation of the food - it was beautiful! Highly recommended!

I visited Gurkhas (2nd time in a rolling month) last week, and just wanted to say the main course that I had – Bamboo Garlic Chilli – was absolutely superb! Also, at the end of my meal, my wife and I were offered a complimentary...

Very good veggie pakoras as starter. Delicious chicken tikka massala and fine matter paneer with naan and rice. Really great that the chickend paneer were spiced and fried before mixed with the great sauces.

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),...

The food here is rather good, but the online ordering system, at least for collection, is a shambles. Needs their IT consultant to sort it out. Was accused of arguing with staff, had to explain what we were dealing with was not (and should not...

As a resident of Penicuik, we tried most resturants with hit and miss results, having had carry outs from Gurkhas which had been good booked for a family event. We had great welcome table for six. Staff were so helpful and food came in a...

Visited Gurkhas sit-in restaurant last night. Great experience - friendly attentive staff without being pushy. Food was of good standard and prices very competitive compared to others in Midlothian. Would certainly recommend and we will be back again. We travelled from Edinburgh by bus (very...

Really fantastic food. Indian flavours but Nepalese twist makes it really unusual. Friendly people. Bought a cake out at the end because they realised it was my Dad’s birthday. Great night.

I have used this place for delivery on several occasions and the service and food has been excellent but last week my food was 40 minutes later than expected, lamb was tough, didn’t melt in my mouth as it has done in the past, this...

Excellent food with super friendly staff who were attentive and polite. Staff happily joined in with our banter and we couldn’t praise them highly enough. Some people may say service is slow but we felt that the quality of food was so fresh and worth...

We have used this restaurant a few times now after hearing that they are really good. First time it was amazing and since then it's just gone down hill. Missing sauces with starters and they've changed some of the menu but didn't explain this on...

This was one of the best Indian restaurants we have ever visited with wonderful food and a lovely calm atmosphere. We tried a Nepalese lamb and chicken meal two nights ago and were so impressed we returned this evening and tried a couple of different...

We ate inside the restaurant and I was very impressed with their efficient service despite there being so many of us. The food and service was brilliant, bursting with flavour! I find that a lot of other Indian takeaways make their dishes extremely sweet, to...

This restaurant runs a great takeaway service, however a group of 17 of us ate there inside and the food inside the restaurant was unbelievably good. The food tasted incredibly fresh and was honestly one of the best curries we’ve all had. A friend who...

Went for an meal while staying the weekend in Penicuik and was blown away by the food and service. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. My wife and I both have allergies (Dairy and Wheat) and the server made sure all of our dishes...

When it first opened I had the Madras delivered, was wonderful, since then, it's went downhill, rapidly! I don't know who the Chef is?, but they certainly cant cook, as every iteration has just gotten worse thereafter, bland. I'm speaking from a delivery customer perspective,...

The food was delicious, very flavoursome and there was a good variety of options to choose from. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We really enjoyed our meal here. Thank you. 😊

Had a lovely meal at Gurkhas, the food was absolutely delicious and really fresh. We will definitely be back soon

Ordered the Himalayan lamb curry with rice and naan. Naan bread was a very decent size. Looking forward to trying some of the other dishes.

Tried Gurkhas for the first time last night and we will definitely be trying again soon. Food was delicious and delivered fast. Great customer service after we had an issue with a discount code. Highly recommend.

We love Gurkas food! Well balanced, tasty, high quality of service! Excellent work, happy customer! Keep up the good work:)

Ordered a delivery from this restaurant and it arrived just on time as requested. The quality of food and service was excellent. This place is worth a try if you are looking for a nice and mouthwatering food. As per the chef's recommendation, I tried...

I love Gurkhas food,I ordered last night momo & butter chicken,that’s best ever I had .thank you Gurkhas,see u again 🇳🇵⭐️⭐️⭐️

Encountered a minor issue with my order online, in that my order didn’t go through completely, so the staff phoned me to take my order and payment over the phone- whilst still honouring a 20% discount. First 2 stars right here for outstanding customer service....

Great flavourful food and they delivered it impressively fast and hot. I highly recommend the momos, which were delicious, and I look forward to trying many more of their curries. The portions are fairly generous and we had more food than we could finish.

Absolutely gorgeous food at a reasonable price. Best place in the Penicuik area with plenty of choices. The staff were welcoming and very kidney. If you're looking for a feast without the ridiculous price tag look Gurkhas Penicuik. Perfectly delivered on given time. Well deserved...

I came across them when I heard about their contribution to foodbank staff at Penicuik. They only opened few months ago and is already considered one of the best takeaway in Penicuik. Quality of food is amazing. Fantastic place, ordered online in the afternoon and...

What a mouth watering and fabulous Indian food with Nepalese twist? I recommend to try momos and Kathmandu Makhani won't be dissapointed. The drawback is only you can order for delivery...

I cannot say enough good things about the people working in this restaurant. Top-level customer service, we ordered over the phone and the guy knew a lot about Gurkhas and the ingredients they use for their food. This alone puts you in the right place...

My third delivery was tonight and as usual it arrived on time. Food is delicious, service is Great and staff are very professional, give this restaurant a try you won’t regret it.

Best spot on the high-street and, huge selection of takeaway and delivery meals.. I loved my last night meal with haggis pokora complementary Thanks

We ordered for the first time from this new restaurant. We got exactly what we ordered, delivered right on time and the food was piping hot throughout. The spicy dishes were hot enough to make you sweat, the milder dishes did a great job of...

Amazing food. So nice. I will Be back thanks again superb!! Everything about it was amazing! Not many like this anymore thanks again!!

Two weeks in a row I have been unable to get through to this place on the phone so tried their online ordering system. Ordered back of 5 for a 6.30 delivery but arrived at 7.10 after I had already put some pizzas in the...

Very pure taste of spices and ingredients. A lot of other takeaways seem to have their dishes very oily or sugary to make up for the lack of taste. However this food is full of raw flavour and didn’t leave me feeling bloated, Nepalese food...

Food was delicious. Came early and was pipping hot when we received it It’s my third time here in two weeks. Gurkha karai was my favourite.

We have eaten here on a few occasions and the and the food is consistent, and absolutely, delicious. Try the Momos they are great! The staff are really friendly and helpful too!
