Royal Gurkha Nepalese and Indian Restaurant in Bedford in Bedford

Did not enjoy the food sorry, tough chicken and lamb, the restaurant is better, but the takeaway not great

Few pieces of chicken in a tin of sauce

Loved the food.i would say the best Indian in bedford.i had tried various places but didn't like any but this place blew my mind.a full five stars for the excellent tasting food.

Tasty food and will re-order again. Mix Grill and food was slightly warm when delivered and would have preferred it being sizzling hot.

This place is ridiculously good. It’s most likely the best restaurant in Bedford and probably beyond. I hope the good people of Bedford understand and appreciate what an absolute gem of a restaurant this place is. From the location, to the service, to the food. Every detail has been taken into consideration. It’s extremely rare to find a restaurant which can pull this kind of dining experience off and The Royal Gurkha does it with ease while remaining unpretentious. I highly recommend the Lamb Shank. Absolutely to die for. I fully expect this place to become nationally famous one day.

Great food, great service, even when very busy.

Lovely food , very friendly staff , a lovely evening

Amazing! Lovely atmosphere and service, food was delish and full of flavor, and we will definitely be back again!

We enjoyed a wonderful meal, and the service was excellent. Thank you!

We had a really pleasant experience here on Friday. The food was amazing and all of the staff were excellent!

It was good, nicely presented food

Wonderful food and great delivery service.

The Best Curry House and dining experience in England no question.

Thanks for reading my additional note and going that extra mile - much appreciated

Always delicious. Always great service. Amazing restaurant, food and staff. Highly recommend

I have eaten in as well as take away. the food is always fresh, delicious with so many flavours. the lamb is tender and the lamb chops make an amazing starter. always super friendly and attentive.great as a special occasion eat in or a mid week take away.

Dinner here is always awesome. We'll be back again no doubt about it. Finest curry in Bedford!

I would highly recommend this restaurant

If you want a real taste of Nepal then look no further! We celebrated our friends 50th here and one of the best things about this restaurant was the service and obviously the food! The manager/owner was extremely accommodating and welcoming! 10/10

I recently dined here and was absolutely blown away! From the moment we arrived, the warm atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home. The service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. The food was simply outstanding! Every dish, from the flavorful momos to the comforting dal bhat, was a burst of authentic Nepali flavors.A special shoutout to the owner, whose passion for his culture and cuisine shines through in every detail. He personally greeted us, shared stories behind the dishes, and made sure our experience was unforgettable.

This is our go to restaurant. We love everything about it from the food to the service to the warm welcome received by anyone dining there. The chicken bhutuwa is delicious and a real favourite of ours. Go, you won’t regret it.

Excellent Restaurant with Excellent food, prepared to perfection.

wow......quality food , delicious ,scrumptious and mouthwatering , never ate this standard food in bedford , very good quantity also ,...loved it

I went there for my 70th birthday it was my first visit and had wonderful time I enjoyed my lamb shank very much and would visit again

Worst experience. Not a good quality food. Manager was drinking Infront of customers and he brhaved rudely. Non professional staff with hugely lacking manners. Making blunder in bill even.

Tasted very good and surprisingly large portions, they were very busy but staff were attentive

Delicious food/value for money/great service. Recommended by my host at a local hotel, as i'm not from the area. I will be back, next time I'm in Bedford.

Food was delicious and still hot when we got it home. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is our new favourite restaurant definitely worth a visit or takeaway.

Went here for anniversary dinner absolutely fantastic really enjoyed atmosphere food staff everything was great and it was a privilege to meet the owner

Great food very comfortable. Great service nice people very clean....food fresh and hot.Go? For sure. Draught cobra lager.

Some of the best Nepalese Indian fusion food north of London. Great service. Try the cellar tables for a special evening.

I don’t normally give reviews, but the food was so good I couldn’t not give a 5* review.

Fantastic service and quality of food

Booked a table for 4 for sunday bank holiday. The service , food and atmosphere were all excellent. We had a lovely time. Best of all we had the great honour of meeting one of the owners, a gentleman as well as a Royal Gurkha. What a pleasure. I definately would recommend.

Biryani was tasteless! Disappointed!

As a family, we have visited the Royal Gurkha at least 20 times! Each and every time the food has been incredibly delicious, Kumar has been fabulous and has treated us like family and the team are amazing! As a family we range from early twenties to mid eighties and there is a meal choice to suit all palates. There is no higher praise we can give to this place and recommend the Gurkha to anyone! It’s always a pleasure The Bradley family!

Food of extremely high quality. They have more standard fare as well, for obvious reasons, but their signature and Gurkha dishes are distinctive and well worth the trip over the numerous very good Indian restaurants in the area. Staff attentive and the proprietor and vibe are genuinely charming. Five star every time

was a little disappointed, we have eaten in the restaurant and it was very good ,so thought we would have a take away ,the food did not taste the same ,lots of quite runny sauce and little chicken ,not a patch on the restaurant food but the same price, all 3 dishes tasted very similar.

Good Food, authentic taste, humble staffs. Usually very busy & occupied duting weekend. Reservation required during the weekend to secure your spot.

It was the best curry we have had in a long time! Will definitely recommend and have again!

Never fails to deliver an excellent experience A1

Really great place to eat, friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend the Bhutuwa, chilli chicken and Momo's!

Attentive service good night out

Excellent food, service was a little slow but the resturant was busy. Only niggle is they don't accept american express despite this being advertised on their website, resturant window and the bill is given in an American express wallet.

Best Indian and Nepalese restaurant in Bedford, and the Service is marvelous. This restaurant is a must visit if you are in Bedford.

Came here for a double date on Wednesday 7th Feb. We had a lovely time. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The food was tasty, we enjoyed it all. Huge variety on the menu! There's something for everyone. I loved the chicken momos!

💯 Fabulous restaurant, wonderful warm welcome, excellent decor and so very clean, absolutely delicious food, fantastic service. The owner served as a Royal Gurkha what more can I say we will be back again very soon.

Food, service, and the atmosphere, Excellent, particularly the owner, who truly has the right to call himself a royal Gurkha, who is a fantastic host, If you have never been, I Highly recommended You try it.

Very expensive for the cost - food was cold

Great food & service as always!

Nice ambience and excellent service. I did recommend them to make egg free Naan's for vegetarians as they complement traditional veg curries. You could go easy on amount of sugar you put in your curries (paneer) and Manchurian. That said, I would highly recommend them and Diya Royal in Kempston.

Excellent food and service with a lovely friendly atmosphere

Food amazing. Service amazing. They could do with extractor fans. Got home smelling of spices.

First visit for me. Stuck to traditional curry and the portion was just nice. Good service from the waiting staff.

Great service and when I rang they were super helpful to adjust the order

My delivery has not arrived and there is no update on the app.

Go check this place out I cannot recommend enough! The best Nepalese food and amazing dining experience. kumar the owner and his staff made our night so special! We will be back soon thank you xx

This is the best Indian restaurant in Bedford some way. The food has always been consistently excellent and the service that Kumar’s team offer is exceptional.

love this place. always great service and wonderful food

Had high hopes and for something one chilli. It was way too spicy. To point I couldn't eat my main.

If I could put 6 stars I would. Delicious Nepalese food and cheerful staff never short of a smile - an immaculate meal.

Absolutely fantastic. I've tried a lot of top Indian restaurants and this is by far the best. Delicious food for vegetarians as well.

Excellent restaurant in Bedford. Delicious food and friendly people. I recommend 100 %

Very nice place to dine in Bedford. I love the starters most! Would highly recommend. The grill platters are very nice too and the lamb shank was outta this world.

5 star Indian takeaway! The chicken tikka was probably the best I have ever had very juicy and spice was on point. Price is fair for the great taste and service is fantastic not too pushy. Large and small tables so ideal for couples or big groups.

Excellent as ever. The only way it could be better is if we’d actually gone there for our meal. Such flavoursome food and fantastic service.

Beautiful flavours, always delicious and fantastic service. Love this place, the food and the staff 👏

Food was great and service was excellent

Absolutely Brilliant!! We love going to the Royal Gurkha and always walk away very satisfied with everything!! Service is fabulous, and the food fantastic!!

Love it everytime we visit. Such a fabulous restaurant with an amazing menu. Thank you.

Good food but not a lot of meat in sauce dishes and quite expensive for a lot of sauce and not a lot of meat. Good flavours though. Would order again but would just order sauces and cook meat at home if possible.

Top food… a little different to your average curry and curry house. Nepalese warmth and welcome shines through

Outstanding!!! The food was amazing, very delicate and nicely served. They use great ingredients too. Probably the best restaurant in Bedford.

Very disappointing after having read good reviews. None of the meat had been marinated is was very bland, then just had a sauce poured over it. Very few pieces of meat in the dish all sauce. To be served a curry of this poor quality in Bedford when there are so many other Indian restaurants was shocking and it wasn’t cheap. I wouldn’t recommend and won’t be returning.

Exceptional food and even better service. Best curry in town by far

Amazing food (would reccommend the Chicken Mayalu + coconut rice), friendly and welcoming staff, and exceptional service! Will be coming here again 😊👍

Excellent restaurant. My first visit but I'll be going back. Very nice decor inside with lovely staff. Enjoyed the menu, some real different flavours amongst the more familiar offerings.

Superb food, staff attentive. Beautiful presentation and reasonable pricing. Well worth a visit

Beautiful experience, utterly delicious food and such wonderful service and staff. Perfect for a special occasion - the very best restaurant in town!

I have dined in and had takeaways on a number of occasions. The quality and standard of service is always excellent regardless of whether dining in or just grabbing a bag. The owner of The Royal Ghurka is a retired member of The Gurkha Regiment so being from a military family ….. HUGE respect for him and a wonderful man too 😊👍 Highly recommended ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a long day at work and ordered a takeaway from my favourite curry house when I got home. The owner turned up at my door with the delivery. He also brought a large Gurkha beer, which I didn’t order and gave it to me free of charge. He explained he had no drivers and was doing the delivery himself. What an absolute gentleman. Made my night. Thank you! This is a must try restaurant if you’re in Bedford. It’s definitely the best curry in Bedford by a long shot too!

Food was delicious and service very good.

Service was really slow, took nearly an hour for main dish to arrive

Top currys use again definitely

Our first time here and would most certainly be back cannot fault it

Great restaurant with a wonderful fresh ambience, lovely food and a delightful restaurant owner who makes sure every table is happy. A wonderful dining experience.

Love it here. First choice always. Always feel welcomed by the owner and staff are very attentive. Food incredibly tasty and really does taste fresh (a big plus) and the atmosphere is nice. We've been both midweek and at the weekend and would highly recommend Royal Ghurka.

Although brilliant on delivery time, I will no longer be ordering from here. Over the past year there have been too many changes to the quality of the main dishes, today’s was more like a tomato soup with some spice and a dried chilli thrown in with the meat. Neither mine nor my wife’s meal reflected what was described on the menu. I was disappointed by the change about 6months ago, but thought the chef may have change. Today’s was worse. That said, the bread is still excellent, but is half the size and twice the price it once was. So long RG, your flavours were once the best, but now have become lost in cost efficiency and price hiking.

Best Indian takeaway I’ve had in Bedford 👍🏻.

Love this place. Superb service and amazing food. Highly recommend.

First time we have ordered from here really tasty and not oily like some I know.

First time ordering from Royal Gurkha and very impressed with the quality of their food

First visit and really impressed with food and service. Highly recommend.

Food was OK. I thought that some of the ancillary bits, such as nans were expensive. However, great service. The waiters very friendly. The place was very busy for mid week, so had a good atmosphere.

Chicken tikka starter did not have any salad. King prawn starter was incorrectly labelled as chicken. Basic errors.

The best and only authentic Nepalese restauraunt in bedford. Genuine front of house and incredible food. 10/10 and will be back.

We have been to this restaurant with friends before but last Saturday it was just two of us. They took us to a table for two which was right next to a table of 8 with small children. We asked for a more quiet table but were told the only tables available were for four so we could not have one. I pointed out there were three tables set for four with just couples sat at them. We were told they may be waiting for friends!! We asked again but we're told sorry no,so we said we would go to another restaurant to which the guy said it's Saturday...you won't find any. Please,come on,this is Tavistok street which is packed with decent restaurants. Then, two separate couples who came in after us were given tables set for four!! Is this because we complained?? Then they gave us a table that was set for four. This was a bad start to our evening however I ordered a whisky with a splash of lemonade and lots of ice but in a tumbler. It arrived in a tall glass. We ordered our food and our first course took ,35 minutes during which time one of the waitresses was continually running,not walking from our floor up to the higher level!! Everything we had was delicious,but sadly the evening was already spoiled for us so...a dissapointing evening,we will try again but next time with friends!! Just to add that we explained all of this to the manager who was introducing himself to the customers and he apologized.

First time here and it was all we had been led to, believe food was superb,service brilliant and the staff friendly and efficient will definitely be back again.

Fantastic food,service and staff. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.
