Panas Gurkha Restaurant in Lewisham

In fact we had a takeaway. The food was absolutely wonderful and the service was great too. The dishes were all quite unusual and were so tasty. We will eat in the restaurant very soon.

Came in late, they catered to us with no problems, excellent food and delightful service :)

We had a lovely meal at Panas. The food is delicious and the staff were extremely helpful and attentive. Whilst there is no children's menu, the staff made sure my five year old was happy and well-provided for.

Absolutely brilliant food and service by Sunil and the rest of team. Every dish was high quality and beautifully presented.

This restaurant is a great find for us, we ate in last Sunday evening. The food and service were excellent with such polite and friendly people looking after us. We cannot waif to go back. Thank you all at Panas.

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Bhawana, Manoj and owner Sujan are really fantastic people. Love to visit quite often.

The presentation is exquisite and delicious. Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. Delicious.

Delicious food -recommend lamb shank, great service from very friendly staff with a tastefully decorated dining area. Highly recommend

I was passing by the village and decided to eat in here, It didn’t disappoint! Calm environment for a sunday, good price overall for all wines and for the gourmet curries, great night in here.

Sunday Lunch at Panas Blackheath. Very sad that they have closed the Lee HIGH restaurant but moved to lovely location. Lovely meeting with Bhawana and Manoj .

What a disappointment! I've booked a table for 4 at 7:30pm (confirmed via email) and when we arrived at 7:28 our table has been given to other people ( I guess walk ins) who was basically waiting for their mains! Restaurant was full so no other option! They've offered to basically rush another table! So unprofessional! What's the point of booking if they can't respect it! We really wanted to try this place but after tonight we won't and definitely won't recommend it to anyone! Very disappointing experience and poor management!

Happy Dashain Bhawana ! Thank you for lovely panas feast .... Best Nepali food in SE London.

The food was incredible. Very friendly staff and quick service. Extremely reasonable prices and a good selection on the menu. 100% recommend!

We went yesterday with my cousins and kids. I booked the table for 6 pm, food was ok for the service was very disappointing. While we were eating our dinner one of the staff member told us to eat quickly because they have another booking. My two years old son was still eating and my main hasn’t even arrived at the point. I don’t think I will be ever going back to the restaurant because how they treated us. And about the portion size starter was very small for the price. Overall its the service have let them down.

Food - taste was average. Portion sizes were small. Only 4 momos given in a portion for £7.5. Hair found in one of the mains. Service - booked table for 6 people. It doesn't mention that a booking is for only 90mins. We were trying to enjoy our meal but were continously being asked to rush as they have another booking. Eyes on how quickly we were eating ruined our experience. Plates of food were just left on the table and tables are not big enough to accommodate plates of food for 6 people and drinks. Atmosphere- very tight and crowded. We paid £160 altogether and in all honesty it wasn't worth it. Would strongly recommend dining elsewhere. We won't be back.

Busy Saturday night but good food

Absolutely amazing food. Everything was so tasty. Some dishes never tried before like the beans with coconut side dish and beetroot raita. Will definitely come again. Service was also exceptional.

I have been to this restaurant on a number of occasions. Today was disappointing. I ordered a Lamb Rogan Josh. There were 4 small pieces of lamb. Not impressed. It would have been a great starter

WORST EXPERIENCE!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ! We were there for dinner tonight and the service and how they treated us was atrocious!! Firstly, the booking does not say it is for just an hour. Our booking was for 6pm was the booking, due to being with small kids some were late. I reached there exactly at 6pm and my sister with her kids at 6:20pm. Since 6:15, even though i told them because of kids and traffic they will be a bit late, the lady in the restaurant curtly asked how far are they cuz they have a booking at 7pm. Any restaurant will give a buffer of 15 mins after the booking to reach, as you all know. AND even on a weekend busiest of the restaurants put in their booking page if they have a time limit, usually its 1 hour 30mins to eat. After 40mins of sitting the lady came to us and said in nepali “please eat faster cuz they want to give the table to the next customer”. AFTER 40mins!!! We got annoyed as we were just eating and the kids were eating, it is not our fault if they cannot manage their booking well. I remember it was 7.07pm then. Also our chicken dish had a hair and when my sister showed it to them they said its impossible that kind of hair is none of theirs, what kind of an answer is that? They got us the new dish and while putting the new plate down the waiter mentioned again oh by the way that was not hair. We are paying customers and frankly speaking no matter how good the food is, nobody will go back again when the service is so bad and rude. The owner or someone kept walking up and down watching our plates to check if we finished eating. Literally we were there for an hour and 20. They did not even offer the dessert menu as they wanted to rush. Worst service i have ever encountered!!! Cherry on top of the cake, after all this was, the lady met us at the door, apologised for rushing us and the best bit was when she said they have to do so cuz they will lose money like they did tonight as they couldn't seat another group. When you cant host your customers, people should stick to take aways.

One of the best restaurant in Blackheath. Bhawana was the best Waitress . What a busy Saturday night at Panas and we had to wait to get our table but it was worth waiting in cold weather outside. Best of the Best Indian food we have eaten for long time.

Thank you Manoj - Bhawana and Jober for your great service. Happy Dashain

Food was so delicious and the chefs and staffs were so friendly and kind.

Awful experience and do not recommend this place. The food was presented nicely and had a moderately average taste to it, but there was no wow factor to it as reviews indicated. The service really needs to be improved upon with one female waitress harassing my friend and I to finish our food quickly as we had to leave by 20.00pm. Table was booked from 18.30 to 20.00 and from 19.30 we were reminded at least 3 times to hurry up. At 19.42; the waitress came and reminded us again and said the next booking are waiting and I told her we had just under 20 minutes to finish and would be out by 20.00pm. I asked for the bill after feeling very harassed and she had the audacity to not only charge for the service, but open the door to let us out, whilst smirking. I guess some awards can be bought, when you put cash under the table!

The food was amazing and the staff were lovely and extremely helpful. Would highly recommend!

We have eaten here a couple of times, and on each occasion the food has been incredibly delicious, but made even better by the wonderful service and friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

The food is great but if ordering delivery don't expect it to arrive on the time agreed. Despite preordering directly from the restaurant and allowing over 2 hours to get this delivered it didn't arrive on time. Nearly an hour late without any contact from the restaurant and a bewildered delivery chap who didn't know what time was promised. So collect or eat in but avoid the delivery service.

Just had the best food we’ve had in a while - unique, flavourful and fantastic service (Manoz and Banawan), thank you! We will see you soon.

The food and the service were amazing! Definitely the best Nepalese restaurant in town.

The food was wonderful as was the exceptional service and hospitality of the owner Sujan! Felt very well looked after and welcome and will definitely come again!!

Amazing place, great food! :) highly recommended

We had an incredible experience here. Staff are so so friendly and make you feel very welcome. Food is exceptional! One of the best daal I’ve ever had and the Jimbu chicken was very moreish. MOMO are a must order. Cannot fault a single thing!

Great service from a lovely restaurant in Blackheath village. Food was delicious and far exceeded expectations. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Fantastic food, amazing customer care. Many thanks to the delivery guy, really kind.

I’ve been here twice and the excellence of the food is matched by the service, which is incredibly hard to find. I could not recommend more, absolutely stunning in every way!

The food was flavorful but the portion size is really bad. We paid 17 quid for a mix platter was not even worth it, it was few piece chicken, 1 prawn, and the tiniest lamb chop a size of my thumb. The owner keeps on coming to your table which is quite annoying.

Really great starters and main, everything freshly prepared, couldn’t fault it and reasonably priced also for London

Amazing food, great atmosphere and really good service! The tandoori king prawn is absolutely fabulous whilst our kids really liked the coconut rice.

Best Nepalese food in London! Lovely staff, very hospitable and welcoming. Will be back

Incredible food. We had the jhimbi chicken, beetroot raita, and brinjal side with a chicken momo starter. Texture perfect, Seasoning perfect. Spice level comfortable and warm.

Lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff! Food was great also, chilli momos and salmon tikka were delicious, will come again

We had a great homemade Samosa and Momo this afternoon.

Great restaurant - just tried it for the first time after rave reviews and it lived up to it. All the family loved it and we were well hosted and, most importantly, food was delicious.

Well,I really don’t know what all the great reviews are all about because me and wife went here and it was not good at all,the Bombay aloo ( potatoes) where baby potatoes and no flavour and hard! The curry was not good and we was both on the toilet for two days!!!! We travel around for good Indian restaurants on the reviews mainly or word of mouth but we will NOT returning. The owner is a nice man by the way that’s as good as it gets I am afraid 😟 5/10 rating

It was lit tbf I was pleasantly surpised and it was spicy blew my tongue in to some sort of dr who episode where the tardis gets really close to the sun

We shared our second meal here tonight sometimes you find first time great and second time not so! But when it’s good it’s good and we will be back. We live local so it is not too hard. Truly fantastic great food, service and lovely helpful staff. So get out and enjoy.

Had take away multiple times since the Covid. This was the first time dine in and really loved it, not only well presented but tastes amazing! Definitely recommend!! Didn’t see prawns jalfrezi on the menu anymore!!

There were no drinks available readily, service was super slow, food was not good at all.

This is a fantastic restaurant - exceptionally nice food and great service. If I ever visit Blackheath again, I will be certain to revisit this place.

Very nice food, only thing is lamb a bit dry not tender but still good👍👍👍 Small but cozy environment Boss Very friendly👍👍👍

Best restaurant in Blackheath. The food is amazing and so tasty and the service and staff is superb! We discovered this restaurant 3 weeks ago and since then we have been eating at the restaurant 4 times already. This evening is the 5th time. We love it!

We specifically chose to order from here as we know it’s food and had received a £10 off voucher through our door. When I went to order, the voucher wasn’t accepted on deliveroo despite being specifically for Panas and Deliveoo. I called both stores. Hither Green never answered either of their lines for 20 mins, and Blackheath said the voucher was only relevant to Hither Green, plus hung up on me. The voucher says it’s fine for either. They suggested ordering on their website where it would work instead. It still didn’t work. So I took off a naan, I took off the popadoms, I took off dips, and I took off the rice. That left me with a curry each, a starter each, and sharing one naan. The total was nearly £60!! No complimentary popadums for £60?! Plus we have to cook our own rice and some toast to boost the meal. Sadly we won’t be using them again, which is a massive shame as it’s been our go-to curry for 9 years. The prices are now too much for a takeaway, especially without a working voucher! There are plenty of others in Blackheath we can try.

Impressive dishes and friendly staff

Food was great but delivery came an hour late.

Got a delicious takeaway from Panas. Friendly service and the food was spot on. Special shout out to the paneer tikka lababda

Located in Blackheat Excellent food, and good value for money. Everyone was really kind and helpful, starting from the owner to the waiters. Seeing us passing by with our suitcases, to return home at the end of our holiday in London they even came out of the place to say goodbye. Just for their kindness and availability it would be recommended, plus their cuisine is excellent. Well done!!

The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly & helpful! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely service. My food was very taste and lovely flavour. I do believe I will come back with my family. I wish I was able to have more varieties of food in small portions. Very happy and satisfied. Very good portion too.

Really lovely food, definitely recommend!

Amazing food and great staff! Must try the biryani and peshwari naan

A great evening at a great restaurant! Authentic food, served promptly: super flavourful and aromatic, and a highly recommended visit! Lovely service from Jobaer and team!

Amazing food and wine staff were very attentive and would highly recommend We were here in Blackheath fir the first time and would definitely be back

This restaurant is high above the average curry house. The dishes are light and never oily, delighfully fragrant and exquisitely seasoned with fresh spices. The quality is superb and the prices are very reasonable despite the boutique location in trendy Blackheath. If you are lucky you will be served by Jobaer and Bhawana, the charming and attentive staff who will greet you with a smile and make you feel like a celebrity!

Lovely meal, friendly staff service from Bhavava and Jobaer. Would definitely recommend ⭐️

Early week visit . 1st time. Excellent food. Well worth price. Polite and friendly people

First visit and really enjoyed food. Would return if in area!

The meal tastes really good. Good quality service

Last week, I visited your restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional food and service. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!

I came for my first time with the friend. The service was attentive, friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. We had the chilli momos which were crispy and spicy and just delicious, mum’s chicken curry with tender chunks of chicken breast in tomato sauce with spices and the monkfish moilee which had tender flakes all items are good and excellent

Every dish we tried was a masterpiece.The food was cooked to perfection, with each bite melting in my mouth. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was nothing short of artful. The combination of exquisite food, outstanding service, and a charming atmosphere made for an unforgettable dining experience.

One of the best Indian food I ever had till now after coming to UK London .....! It is very delicious and mouth watering I am totally addicted to the food here 😋 🫶👌👌👌

Basically I won't taste other food than Punjabi but I tried at panas gurkha . I was totally amazed after dining here I enjoyed the food a lot it was really tasty 😋

Excellent Hospitality and had the most delicious curry ever, The food was just incredible good from the sauce to the last bite of the meat, Bhavana really helped us choosing the right curry and recommend us with the best, great service aswell. Really do recommend if you pass by Blackheath.

Basically I was passing from black heath road and I saw this restaurant I was attracted by it's ambiance and lightings and I came for dine for the lunch I was really happy with taste and service it was beyond my expectations it was really excellent 👍💯💯

This is an outstanding restaurant with amazing quality food, adorable staff and a warm, comfortable feel. The team here came across as proud of this restaurant and genuinely invested in your enjoyment of the experience and they embody everything you would want from a quality dining experience. The food quality, attention to detail and presentation was world class!!

The food is pretty good here and the chicken tikka masala is good. The butter chicken was disappointing as the chicken was shredded into small slithers which isn’t as nice having larger pieces of good quality chicken. Rice and naan is good. Definitely one of the better Indians locally and this small change would make a big difference

Very welcoming staff and unusual dishes. Delicious Gurkha beer too !

We came upon this lovely place whilst visiting for work. We were aimlessly walking around, searching for somewhere to dine and the aroma emanating from Panas enticed us in!! Our noses did not fail us, the quality of the food and the presentation was just 10/10 and the staff were extremely pleasant and accommodating. We will definitely come back here again at the first opportunity 🌟❤️ Really lovely!!

Nice food and good, attentive and friendly service. Recommended.

Staff really friendly and welcoming. The food was really tasty when they realised it was a bit warm for me they brought youghurt. 👍👍

Everything was really tasty 👌👌👌 warm, friendly, spicy in all the right ways. Paola was very nice and attentive. Great attention to detail, exquisite flavors, a splash of delight, that’s how I would define this place.

Exceptional restaurant. We were served by Jobaer who offered outstanding service and was very kind and friendly. The dishes were a triumph. The complex flavors were exquisite, and the meat was tender and succulent. The accompanying naan was a perfect complement. Overall, a truly satisfying dining experience.

Food was fantastic and 1st class service by the manager Jobaer, would highly recommed this restaurant.

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere

Absolutely brilliant experience. I live locally and have always wanted to try - so glad I did. The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. I highly recommend the salmon dishes. Will definitely be returning.

Wonderful service, food was beautiful and flavourful. Very nice scenery and atmosphere. All staff were attentive and friendly. Will come again soon!

Brilliant place. Great food and amazing staff

Great food, great service, great experience! Jobaer, the manager, was very kind!

Lovely dishes and excellent taste 😋 with warm and best hospitality I loved it very much....!

I think it’s really good restaurant but it’s very expensive and time wasted restaurant and staff are very rough with customers and specially with delivery drives they are not respecting to drivers

Very tricky to place a takeaway order. Phone number on the menu that we received doesn’t accept take away orders! Prices on the website vary from the paper menu. Various sites - We wanted SE3 but told to order from Lewisham. Very confusing. Ordered from another restaurant instead as it was just too frustrating.

Best team with best food in the town!❤️

Absolute bomb…would recommend for amazing Indian food🔥♥️

Food was amazing , staff were friendly , had a really nice evening and will be visiting again

We've taken too long to try as the food was really exciting and tasty. A breath of fresh air in the Blackheath food scene.

Popped in early at 6pm as it is always fully booked. Great Nepalese food perfectly cooked with amazing flavours. Friendly service including the owners who greet everybody and make sure you are looked after and enjoying the meal.

Ordered online, better when you eat in. The momos were abit raw. The salmon was over cooked unfortunately. May not order again.

Distinctly average. The food unfortunately did not live up to the website claims. The waitress was unable to describe the speciality dishes. The salmon was hard and dry, our prawn starter whilst acceptable in taste came out luke warm. We observed the host fleeting from every single table to table talking about his charitable endeavours making an effort to interact with everyone, sadly no attempt was made to once ask us (the only non-Caucasians in the restaurant ) how the food was at which point we would have shared our feedback. As for the atmosphere - there is none.

Service is great, staff were friendly, thank you Bhawana Basnet for your great service. Food was delicious and place itself is cute and clean. All in all it was a good experience and we had a good time in panas gurkha resturant. I would like to thank Bhawana Basnet for your invitation.

Whilst the food was delicious I literally can't get over that there were only three prawns in our £18.75 prawn curry. I'm really shocked. We ordered through deliveroo. Very sad. Won't eat here again despite it being tasty.
