Gurkhas was fantastic! We were seated immediately and the overall ambience was nice. There was a mixture of Nepalese art and decoration along with what I would assume was art from a local artist. The service was excellent, very quick, personable and friendly. The food was great, we had peshwar naan, pilau rice, a traditional chicken curry dish and a vegetable curry with paneer. Nothing revolutionary but just what we wanted, a good traditional curry. The meal was less than £20 per head so very reasonably priced, impressed overall!

We dined in last night and had an amazing dinner! We ordered vegetarian curry with paneer cheese, spicy fried chicken curry and naan and pilau rice - all delicious and the portion was decent, it fed us two enough! The staff are very friendly and efficient, would definitely want to visit again!

We love Gurkha, it never disappoints. We often go there with a big party from.our Evening Class (wine appreciation) and find the food excellent, and the staff accommodating and friendly, the service timelyvand efficient. We also find its a good place to meet and catch up with friends as its never too loud to hear what each person is saying. I love too that there are spotless napkins, clean loos and comfortable seats.

Gurkka’s is simple a fantastic restaurant. Delicious authentic Nepalese food, always consistently great. But what makes it even more special is the welcoming staff, and the care they all give. It feels like a family and it’s a pleasure to go there (regularly!). Everyone is brilliant but a special mention must go to the main man Anwar, who is hard working, always remembers me and my boys and is the perfect welcoming face! Highly recommended.

Third visit to this Nepalese-Indian restaurant on South London's Sydenham Road. This is so much more than your usual right-round-the-corner curry house. Superb food and a knowledgeable and attentive staff. Very quiet. Exceptionally clean. Try any of the chef's specialties (on this occasion, we had the barbecue chicken and sherpa lamb), although the entire menu deserves investigation.

There was 3 if us that me for a meal here fir a catchbup in a Sunday evening. It's pretty dark inside I dis find it hard to see the menu, only partly my fault I left my glasses in the car. We got a warm welcom and shown to our table, it was very busy with almost every table occupied and after ordering our drinks they quickly arrived at the table. Once we had ordered our food, the poperdoms came quickly, then the starters. The food was delivered to the table and we didn't have to wait to long it all seemed to be timed really well. All the food was so so nice we no complains about the food, or the service. We left a nice tip.and we are all looking forward to going there again.

The food is consistently tasty and of high quality with tender meat dishes, great veggie options and different spices throughout. We think the best in the area and a good price too. The staff are friendly and attentive. We shall continue to return and recommend to others. A big thank you and shout out to all staff at Gurkha's 😀

We were a party of 20 + and were very well catered for. It's a bit different from the usual Indian restaurant fare. A very popular location that's for sure. The take away riders are outside pressing the phones to the window trying to get their next delivery as quickly as possible.

True to it’s roots, this long established restaurant on Sydenham Road is a gem! I have been 3/4 times now with various friends and family and we are always left feeling satisfied.. the food is always to a high standard, and the service is particularly warm and friendly, esp by Pavi who goes above and beyond to make you feel special. Her smile is the added ingredient to what is already a perfect recipe!! The ambience takes me back to the truly authentic Indian restaurants of yesteryear: immaculate white linen, decor in rich colour, uniformed professional staff and seriously good cuisine!! I look forward to returning soon!! The best of luck to you all!!

Ordered biryani and saag paneer via uber. Delivery came in 45 mins but food was warm. Food was fresh but very bland in taste. Everything lacked salt and other seasoning. Biryani - i wouldn’t called biryani, it’s more of pulov. Saag Paneer - paneer was soft and fresh.

I ordered food at this Indian. I was told it would be 20 min . 45 min later food was ready . Only living 1 min away the time I opened my food a few minutes later . It was cold . Food tasted disgusting. Whilst in the restaurant I was asking if I could have my chicken dish very mild . He was explaining that is wasn't possible as they take it out the fridge and put it in the microwave pre seasoned , in that split second he corrected him self to micro oven . Food tasted like it was definitely microwaved . I certainly won't be eating here again avoid avoid avoid !!!

Every year I have all my football friends around to my house in Sydenham for an end of season curry. We play a friendly vets game (45-79 is the age range) every week. This year we had 29 people for the curry and I ordered it from Ghurkhas. As it was such a big take away order I spoke to them a few days ahead of schedule to make sure they would be able to handle it. They did a brilliant job. The whole order was ready as planned on 20 December at 7.15 PM as agreed and everything was perfectly boxed up and warm when we got it home (we live only 5 mins away). We had a super evening of excellent curry and a few beers and much good fun looking back on our season. Thank you to all the staff at Ghurkas and Merry Xmas.

Vindaloo love review: ok so I am shocked about the standard of Vindaloo curry's in South London and just how many places fail to add depth of spices & aromatic flavours. They just use chilli powder and tomato base. It's extremely dissapointing and hard to find a very good vindaloo. This vindalaoo is perfect as I cannot find a banging one but this one is very good I have now ordered delivery around 8 times so far and its consisistent. I am forever grateful as I am obsessed with vindaloo curry. Perfect heat but can also taste aromatic flavours. Nice chicken used and naan bread & onions salad delicious. Really happy with this service had to leave review for anyone else seeking a good vindaloo in SE London ❤

It's a proper curry house but an elevated one largely due to the Nepalese factor. As you can guess, being a restaurant with two cuisines makes the menu particularly tricky to navigate, but it's a good problem to have! I had a Nepalese lamb dish I've forgotten the name of (sorry!) which was delicious, it had such a deep earthy flavour. As is curry tradition, I sampled all my friend's dishes and they were delicious too. How marvellous to have this on your doorstop. Anyone fancy a curry?!

On that fateful day, a relentless hunger consumed me, and clad in my humble home clothing, I ventured into that establishment. Alas, the staff cast judgmental gazes upon me, their eyes filled with puzzlement at my presence. With utmost politeness, I beseeched them for a mere offering of tap water, while I patiently awaited the arrival of my sustenance, enduring a seemingly interminable 25-minute ordeal. Throughout this time, the waiters exchanged words in their native tongue, accompanied by disapproving glances. Attempting to evade unnecessary confrontation with such hostile individuals, I simply stated my origin as Syndenham whenever questioned. Nevertheless, this seemed to fuel their disdain, culminating in one of the waiters resorting to derogatory language, branding me an 'idiot.' Upon the eventual readiness of my meal, I sought to ensure its integrity, only to be met with more contemptuous glares and hostile inquiries. Though the cuisine itself proved to be delightful, the bitter taste of their inhospitable service has left an indelible mark upon my memory. With a heavy heart and a sense of relief for escaping unscathed from the encounter, I departed from that place. However, the haunting echoes of their disdainful laughter in their foreign tongue lingered, deepening my resolve to never darken their doorstep again. Indeed, I am grateful for the preservation of my life amid this turbulent encounter. Yet, the memory of such an unwelcome experience has indubitably stained my impression of that establishment forevermore.

So disappointed with this restaurant. I ordered through Deliveroo and selected gluten-free restaurants as I'm coeliac. This restaurant came up as an option and stated that it could offer gluten-free options. I ordered a few dishes that I eat regularly in other restaurants, however, the restaurant cancelled my order as they were unwilling to accommodate me and said that all of the dishes contained gluten. I eat Indian food all the time, have done for years, and never usually have any trouble at all when ordering. If cooked authentically, most Indian dishes are naturally gluten free. If this restaurant can't be bothered to accommodate those with dietary restrictions, why advertise themselves as such? Wouldn't recommend based on the rude and unhelpful service I received.

The food is really very good, but I just found the staff to be very cold, and bordering on rude. I'm not expecting red carpet treatment, but a smile and bit of warmth isn't a lot to ask for. As a takeaway it's hard not to recommend this place, but if you're looking for a memorable night out, perhaps look elsewhere. That said, I'll probably be back, as it wasn't that awful.
