Himalayan Gurkha in Derby

Fantastic food with a slight twist to the regular Indian restaurants. Well worth trying the alternative dishes, very tasty.

Good service; food to though the heat can be quite intense. For us, low-med would have been just nice. If in doubt at what to order, go for the back page at GBP22.50 pp

Probably one of the best currys in Derby. The food was fantastic, great flavours. Only minor criticism was the Onion Baji was a bit pappy, but would definitely come again.

So friendly. I had been out of the area for a year but the return visit did not disappoint. Food superb, staff couldn't do enough. Loved every aspect. Recommended.

Great meal for our cricket club annual curry. Will certainly come again.

An enjoyable evening with excellent service. Not been at a Himalayan Gurkha restaurant as well impressed. The joint 4 person meal was good price,varied and good.

I absolutely love this place! Tried many places and keep coming back to Himalayan Gurkha as they never fail to amaze me. Staff are always friendly and really look after their customers. The food is reasonably priced and plenty of options. Everything I’ve tried I love. Really recommend this place if your looking for a hidden gem and some tasty food😁

First visit we heard the noise about this place - food, excellent, good beer, attentive service - such a joyful welcoming atmosphere- We will be back. thank you …

Hot food, fast delivery, delicious tasting dishes, tikka chilli is amazing will definitely return again

Amazing place to eat!! Can’t fault anything. Staffs are amazing and accommodating, food was excellent. One of the best I’ve ever eaten recently and this is the one restaurant I can see myself visiting often with my family. Excellent atmosphere and the decorations is very pleasing to the eye. The table are laid out in an exquisite manner and yeah just all round amazing.

Great food and service. Prawn puri a particular highlight. The waiter very good and had lovely, pleasant disposition. Food came very quickly and piping hot and flavoursome.

First visit last night with my mates and thought the restaurant was really good. Very busy which is always a good sign and great menu options. We really enjoyed our meals and thank the staff for looking after us so well. Absolutely recommend and will definitely be back.

I have been visiting this restaurant for several years now and last night’s meal was as good, if not better, than ever. The spice level was on point, naan bread excellent and the currys were divine. The price was very reasonable and the service fantastic- we will definitely be returning again soon!

Great service and the best food!

Amazing food and service with a smile. Highly recommended 👌

Really tasty food delivered piping hot, will definitely be ordering from here again!

Have visited this restaurant at least 6 times now and I have never been disappointed! The service is always great very accommodating and the food always comes hot and full of flavour!

Don't want to give them a single star rating as well. They have no idea how to deal with customer. Trained your staff first. I never been here before but for now I will never want to give them a chance. Thanks

Absolutely love this restaurant, whenever I am visiting family in Derby I try to visit this place. Great food & service, the people are lovely. Would highly recommended. Mr & Mrs Fussy 👏

Great Nepalese food full of wonderful flavours and the Gurkha beer is nice too. Went for a birthday treat and wasn't disappointed.

Food was excellent, delivery was fast. Would recommend.

Food was so horrible, they served old stock especially chicken tandoori and Tikka. It was smelling bad. Not recommended. Waste of money. Their did some scam to increase their Google rating.

Food is not up to the mark ..not worth for money..don’t want to visit again

This place has a very poor and shameful 2 star hygiene rating. Any self respecting food business should operate in a safe way. Disgusting

Always good value, superb flavours.

No doubts, it's best Nepalis restaurant in this city + even better, than in Nottingham, Mo mo is specially very delicious

A random booking last minute on a whim and we were very pleasantly surprised. What a lovely place, the staff were so friendly and kind and the food was delicious and tremendous value. If we are ever in Derby again, we will come back!

Great quality food, consistent as well because I've been a few times. Probably one of the best places to eat in Derby. Mix starters are great, takeaway or eat in it's always good.

Always good quality food with fantastic flavours.

We order takeaways from Himalayan Gurkha and they have always been very good, but this week we had meals that weren't up to their normal standards. Shashlik chicken with no curry sauce, half tandoori chicken that was mostly bone and only had half a breast and no sauce, and a curry that wasn't very tasty. Service was good and delivered quick. As I say we normally have fabulous food so not sure if there was a problem this time.

Excellent food. Service was good albeit a little on the slow side. Atmosphere was almost non existent, but that's because it was mid week and relatively early. 5 out 5 because the food trumps everything else!

My favorite place to go for Indian cuisine . They also have Nepalese cuisine so even better as there are not many Nepalese restaurants in Derby. I love their momo ( Nepali dumpling) . Excellent service and very welcoming staff.

They don't even ask water to customers.

Excellent authentic food served with a smile. I've lost count of the number of times I've returned..

Hi only been once food excellent and not too expensive and the staff are very nice I would recommend it went on the 29th of febuary me and my mate Richard an excellent meal and the service was excellent to I would highly recommend it

so the papadoms were not fresh and soggy .and I also ordered a bottle of diet coke which tasted wrong I have since checked the date and its 31-8-23 .the food was OK but but hot enough .when I rang to complain he just said he could not do anything about the coke or papadoms but would offer me 20% if I order another meal from them !!!! if the drinks can be that out of date who knows about the food ........not happy

Great service, great food and a freindly welcome. Will be going again.

food very bland, ordered chilli chi Ken masala hot but food was very mild, no kick. won't be ordering that dish again.

i wont be eating here again food wasnt nice at all, was all sauce and 6 pieces of chicken in korma rice tasted like a ready meal and lamb kahari was bland....sorry

Very good quality food as always.

Great staff Amazing food. Probably the best Nepalese food if ever had

Great food. This is the second time we’ve ordered from this restaurant and we are very pleased with the quality and service. 10/10.

Although food arrived hot, it lacked any flavour. The naan breads were like cardboard. Sadly won't be ordering again.

Thoroughly recommend this restaurant, have to go to Derby once a year, found this place a few years ago and now visit every time. Here again and what can I say after a very disappointing meal in a highly recommended restaurant in Edinburgh I'm back here for what I think n real Nepalis food.

Great venue, great service and most importantly the food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Great food, delivered hot and on time - perfect!

Not had food from here before and was delighted with the curry. Excellent! Very tasty! 10/10.

Small group of 7 plus toddler went for a Birthday meal. Booked online. All manner of delicious food choices on the menu. Superb . Didn’t wait long for our meal. It is the best curry I’ve had in Derby. Serving staff very attentive but not bothersome. Orange juice on the house for toddler & free poppadoms all round. Competitive prices for amazing food. Doggy bags to take home as large portions. Will definitely eat here again, looking forward for next family members birthday! Would’ve given 5 stars but restaurant a little bit chilly. Be aware of parking restrictions opposite the restaurant but plenty of pay as you park spaces top of street.

Food's gone a bit downhill compared to before. Everything was a bit bland and samey.

I ordered from here after a poor experience with an apparently "top rated " curry house the day before. And I could not have had a better experience. The food was fantastic. I had a king prawn Puri which was 9/10 and a Pathia which tasted 10/10. The garlic naan was on the small side but was great. I have ordered again tonight.

Lovely food, arrived on time but forgot my mango ice cream which I was looking forward too but apart from that it was perfect

Delicious . Totally recommend ! best curry had in a long time

One of the best curries that I have ever eaten. Delicious!

The blandest food ever, really do not waste your time and money. Rang to discuss the takeaway and ignored. The mixed grill starter meats tasted so plain we gave up.

Really awful food. We have eaten at Himalayan Gurka pre-pandemic and always really enjoyed ourselves. Tonight we got a takeaway - paneer masala, chicken korma and a mixed grill and everything tasted the same, bland sweet and with zero seasoning. I called the venue and got told that a masala and a korma are virtually the same, sweet and creamy, by the man that answered the phone, which was unbelievable. Apparently a tandori grill also has no spice in it because it is dry. If you want to pay a lot of money for school dinner curry go ahead - but we won't be going back. The restaurant seem to be trading off an old reputation. They have only had 10 review since the start of 2023.

Amazing food and amazing staff.

Just visited this restaurant for a meal, it's been our first time in the area. It did not let up. We each had Chicken Tikka Masala, which was the most flavorful I've experienced. The naans were also pleasant, not dense or flaky like other restaurants had. The staff was extremely accommodating and pleasant, and our order was purchased in a matter of minutes. I plan to return and also order takeaway on the future.

The wife and I ate here 16 September 2023. We went early doors at 7pm and the place was busy even then. Attentive service. The pints of Cobra were ice cold. Poppadoms and pickle tray excellent. Mains, rice and naans all so tasty. Our first visit here and definitely not our last. If you want a decent sit down ruby I would recommend this restaurant.

First time at this resaurant but will definitely be back! Delicious food and friendly, helpful service. Great vegan/vegetarian options too, so something for everyone.

Takeaway. Delivered in good time, without fuss. Fantastic food, possibly the best 'curry' I've had. I was really impressed and will be back for more. Will definitely recommend.

Very good, reasonably priced Asian dining

Noah and the team always bring the heat!! Best value, quality and service in East Mids. Really look after their customers. 6* Regards Matt.

Had a delivery and the quality has dropped considerably. We've had many deliveies in the past, and the quality was so much better. Chicken buna, not spicy, Popadoms not crispy. Portion sizes down by half. Chips were cold, Definitely won't be ordering from here any more!!!

Excellent food and top quality service. Can’t fault it, first class, would recommend it without hesitation. A genuine hidden gem.

We did not receive the chicken tikka. Everything else was delivered.

I’ve been here two times and the food was delicious both times, there are a lot of vegetarian and vegan options and the service is great too.

Fantastic as always, do not be put off by the location.

Excellent food. Staff really good & helpful.

Ordered a takeaway for delivery from this restaurant. The food was very good but the delivery driver could not read street name signs. He got the right house number but the wrong street. My neighbours directed him to my street. I saw him on my cctv wandering up and down my street like a little lost lamb with my takeaway in his hand. Within seconds of trying to speak to him I realised he could only speak a few words of English. What is the point of having a delivery driver that cannot read street name signs? Shame as the food was great.

Ordered a takeaway for delivery from this restaurant. Really great food. Couldn't fault it. The only fly in the ointment was the delivery. The guy went to the right house number but the wrong street. My neighbour directed him to my street and I saw him on my cctv wandering about like a little lost lamb carrying the takeaway. I went out and spoke to him to confirm it was my order and realised he didn't speak much English. He was unable to read the street name signs. Is there any point having a delivery driver that is unable to read street names? The food was really good so I've given it four stars. It can't be just me that this is happening to if he can't read street names. Disappointing takeaway experience. I will go and have a sit down mean sometime at this restaurant with my wife but won't be ordering any more takeaways for delivery. Sorry for the negative review about the delivery but it needed to be said.

This is a lovely and very popular restaurant with very well-mannered and polite staff, in the city centre. The restaurant is committed to ensuring that deliveries to customers arrive on time. Well worth a visit! 😀😃🙂

Just been for a meal at this restaurant, it was our first visit here. It did not disappoint. We both had Chicken Tikka Masala - it was the best I have ever had. The naans were lovely too, not thick n doughy like some I have had at other restaurants. The staff were very welcoming and polite and our order was bought out very quickly. Will definitely go back and also order takeaway in the future. 😋😍

Good food, well served. Nice place, if a little pricey.

This food made me happy. Everything was delicious. Will definitely order more.

Booked this restaurant for myself and 13 friends after a golf break last weekend. We were slightly late but the staff were really understanding. The food was served in a timely manner and was all delicious. Many of the guys said it was one of the best curries they have ever eaten, myself included. Many thanks for looking after us and I will certainly return if I am in the area.

Great food and service. Spot on for a Saturday night curry.

Flawless. The food was very impressive and the service was second to none.

I had forgotten that the owner works in the flower pot kitchen on Tuesday and Wednesday... And it shows, , we were the only people in the restaurant so the atmosphere was very flat. My friends made better choices than me so they had no reason to be unhappy my lamb tandoori dish was over cooked and very tough. I have dined here quite a few times before without any complaints if their is a next time I must remember to avoid any Tuesday or Wednesday slot.

Excellent meal at the Himalayan Gurka restaurant. Really friendly staff. Delicious food and a good room.

Wonderful meal at the Himalayan Gurka restaurant the celebrate my son passing his driving test. Really friendly staff. Delicious food and a good room. Lovely to have Nepalese choices and not just the standard Indian dishes. Many thanks to Nawa and the team!

Such great food and very friendly staff. Firm favourite.

Wonderful restaurant, fabulous food and excellent service, first time visiting and most certainly not the last - looking forward to our next visit :)

Best curry place in Derby no questions asked. Staff friendly and attentive. Food always served quickly, which does never fail to be tasty.

My birthday, evening meal on a Monday night and we wanted to start fairly early. Himalayan Gurkha was up and running at 5:30 and we were dealt with promptly by attentive and courteous staff. The food was outstanding and served promptly. Good value for money and well worth a visit. We will return!

Always a great treat, always hot and tasty

That has got to be the best tasting food I have eaten. I can see why your so highly rated in Derby. I travel world wide with my work so have tasted alot of dishes and I would have this up there with one of the best. Thankyou so much.

Visited after a long time of not being in the area. Was great to see that the quality, service and value for money all still excellent as before. And we must make more effort to visit from Belper. Thanks for a great meal 👍

This restaurant isnt for me, One of the tasteless bland food I have ever eaten. They serve tomato sauce in the name of curries.

My experience was very bad..i'm a vegetarian person and i got shoked when i get my food delivered it was having chicken sauages in it.Its a trigger to my releigious sentiments as well.I ordered first time and its horrible .Onion bhaji is tasteless having no salt in it .They said its ready to made we dont know..

Great food at a competitive price. Service is usually quick and efficient. My favourite restaurant in derby.

Very good food, inexpensive, popular

Wonderful experience from start to finish! Staff are very welcoming and the food is amazing. One of the best restaurants in derby! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic food, highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic food. Missed off one of the curries could not have been more apologetic. Bought the missing curry again lovely polite and apologetic.The food was hot and tasty. Lovely people. Will definitely order from here again. Thank you

Absolutely fantastic. We're not from the area - but where we live there are plenty of options for a curry. It's one of the best currys I've EVER eaten. Can't recommend this highly enough. The waitress recommended my main, and was kind enough to also ask the chef to make a few changes to our meal ahead of being made. Everything was fresh, flavourful, and had perfect textures. I really can't find any criticism. We arrived just after 6pm and were luckily squeezed in without an appointment. We agreed to be finished by 7:30pm for when the table was needed. I thought we'd be in and out in an hour, but we only just managed to finish in 90mins. This is because it was so enjoyable to eat here, rather than slow service. In fact, quite the opposite - we had excellent prompt service and food to our table quickly. Due to having a very young (and picky) child with us, we also ordered a plain portion of chips - however, we were pleased to see he also ate a good amount of the curry! That's quite some praise! Even little things like the rice came out perfectly cooked, perfectly flavoured, and was hot and fluffy as if cooked perfectly. The only downside for us is that it's not an area we're likely to visit much sadly. If you have the opportunity to eat here - do it! And pre-book to avoid dissapointment!

One of the best restaurants in derby they can't do anougth for you and the food is amazing

Amazingly delicious, amazingly fantastic and friendly staff. Great energy, 100% reccomend this restaurant, thank you!!

Great quality food, and nice touch adding an extra poppadum.

Lovely place for meal with friends meal was excellent and service first class

Amazing food I ordered for the first time, and the experience is so amazing.
