The gurkha resturant in Nottingham

Don’t be put off by the drab looking outside and the interior decor, the food is fantastic. We stopped on the off chance of getting a table, the place was empty. We ordered drinks and to be honest nearly walked out. The place badly needs bringing upto date. We didn’t and decided to order, we didn’t expect the food to be brilliant but to be honest it was. Good food reasonably priced what more can you ask for.

Our dinner was freshly prepared and really fantastic! It has a lot to offer vegetarians. I recommend choosing a few of the smaller dishes so that you can enjoy all that they have on offer.

Enjoyed another meal at the ghurka, this time as a takeaway. I ordered the Taplejung Dumbarton, which was lovely albeit a bit hotter than I usually like. Nice, friendly service too. Thanks again.

Been there 3 times now whilst in Nottingham on business. This is not your average curry house - the food is different - and delicious. The owner is polite and attentive, and obviously takes great pride in their menu. Yes they do the regular dishes you've had at your local curry house but the owner will steer you towards something you've never had before. Take his advice - you won't be disappointed.

We were in Nottingham to visit my Mum in hospital and arranged to go to the Gurkha although usually it is not open on a Sunday evening. Four of us had a fabulous meal, we had rice with our meal and my sister and her husband had warm nan with theirs and when I saw it I wished that I had had some too! Nothing was left -sign of an excellent meal or may be us being greedy. We were warned that the cash machine was playing up so we paid cash. A memorable meal.

Prompt, polite and attentive service but in no way intrusive. The food was excellent so much so we tried to kidnap the chef and bring him home:-) Highly recommend this Restaurant.

Visited The Gurkha while in Nottingham for the Ice Hockey Elite league playoffs. This restaurant is a absolute gem the food is without doubt the best Curry Style I have tasted. Nothing is to much trouble the chef comes and asks if it's OK he has no worries on that score and when you eventually leave you have got a new friend. He is really passionate about his food nothing pleases him more than to make sure you have a memorable experience.

lovely friendly staff and excellent food. we saw the sign for a buffet lunch and thought - lets give a try. well what a great surprise, lovely atmosphere nice and clean and the food was great especially the fish starter. the lamb was very well cooked and the rice excellent. even the wine menu was good. you need to try this place!!!

After having a poor meal.they decided to tell us that they don't take credit cards .which I think we should have been told before we ate. Then we would of had a choice.so we then had to walk to a cash machine to get cash.a really poor organisation. If u eat here take cash or its a walk to cash machine.

Excellent service, nice place to eat and very traditional tasting curry. Much better than the same old same old you usually get in most Indian restaurants.

the food was wonderful server was attentive and polite clean and inviting looking forward to returning soon

Great Gurkha food and service. Unfortunately the momos were out of stock when we went but we'll be back. Delicious fresh and zingy starters and equally lovely mains. Friendly service including the chef who comes out to check your meal was good. Great naan breads too. My girlfriend's first Gurkha experience and she was bowled over! Thanks guys!

Had a great meal and great dining experience last Saturday at the Gurkha. Many thanks to Ish the chef

Good, attentive service. Food well cooked and interesting. Fish and chops and aubergine dish particularly worth trying.

Little more to say fully enjoyed the meal and service was fast. Best restaurant of its type I have been to.

Visited for family meal on Saturday. What a great small restaurant. Food was amazing and outstanding, service was brilliant as well. Definitely will visit again. Thanks Ish for making out night special.

We ate here for the first time last night, for a family birthday meal. The restaurant is small, and the decor simple but very neat and clean, and the atmosphere very nice. The service and food were excellent, and the cost very reasonable. It was a Wednesday night but business was obviously good.

I've have tried many Indian restaurants and can honestly say that the Gurkha (by Ish), Mansfield Rd, is by far the best and I've now become a regular. The food is absolutely amazing, full of flavour and very reasonably priced. The service is great, very friendly staff including the Chef. I would highly recommend them.

One of the best curry's in Nottingham great fresh food exception service we go every couple of weeks never disappointed

I have made numerous visits to this restaurant and it never fails to impress. The food is amazing, Ish the chef and host can definitely cook. I love the Nepalese dishes as they are so full of flavour, and the chef will always spice it up a bit if required. Washed down with a few Gurkha beers, it's become my favourite place to eat. Good food, great service and reasonably priced, this restaurant is well worth a visit.

We love The Gurkha - food is faultless and for less than £25 each we had a starter and main each with bottle of plonk - very reasonable - but to top it all, the service is like no other - super friendly, as if round your best friend's house, always up for a bit of a chat - equally will leave you to enjoy their amazing cooking - you will not leave disappointed. But don't worry about looking at these reviews, just go - it is a must for any discerning palate!

We had a meal at this restaurant and also have had a take away. The food we got was just exceptional. The service was great, we were made to feel very welcome it was a great night out. Going back next week to celebrate Christmas. They have a great chef.Give it a try, I do not feel you will be disappointed.

I visited this restaurant when it was Gurkha one, and absolutely loved it. Couldn't fault a thing! The food was fab, service was brilliant and the owners are lovely!! Booked a table again a few months after and wasn't told that it has changed hands, on arrival I noticed the name change and soon realised the restaurant had infact moved locations and these people were trying to pass off as Gurkha one! Service was slow, and I didn't even eat my main course as my starter was that awful. I wasn't asked what was wrong by the waiter he just took it away. Will never return and would never ever ever recommend this place!

I dinned in this restaurant while I was staying at the paramount hotel for business. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. Booked again for a big group this month.

I frequented this "restaurant" last Saturday night, a very small place thought I'd give it a whirl. Unfortunately, I confused it with the award-winning Gurkha One which used to be based there and has since moved to Rolleston near Newark. The food was bland, the waiter smelled of body odour badly (deodorant anyone?!) and on the way in the occupants of the attached Paramount hotel looked like they were extras from Trainspotting! Dont even get me going on the toilets, they are an ebarrassment to the landlord and restaurant, someone should tell the council about those!! In short, expensive for what it was and a terrible all round experience!!!

This is the best takeaway I've ever had in Nottingham! I had no idea it was also a restaurant, I'm going!

The Dinner at Gurkha on Mansfield Road was very nice and good. They make nice food and it comes out Quickly. The manager is very frendly. The chef is frendly too and sometimes chef comes out to talk to people about the food asking was it nice. Very frendly. The Dinner was very nice i like it.

The staff and the chef (who owns the restaurant) are very friendly.The food is excellent. The flavours are exquisite - everything one would hope for an exotic and atmospheric meal for two.Make sure you book before you go as the place fills up quickly!

Dinner last night at the Gurkha on Mansfield Road was fabulous. The service was first rate. The waiter was very attentive. The food was well presented and very tasty. We ordered an assortment of vegetable sides along with rice and Naan. Good portions and fresh tasting. The chef came out of ask how we were enjoying the meal. They take a real interest in the experience at the Gurkha. I will definitely go again when I come back to Nottingham.

You could walk or drive past this little gem a million times, as I normally would. however we went in we were greeted very warmly and genuinely by the staff. The food we ordered was of a standard I rarely get to enjoy, it was perfect.

I have lived in Nottingham most of my life and the Paramount hotel has had different restaurants attached in this time. The Gurkha is the best to date... as the food and service was exceptional.If you like Indian cuisine then you should try Nepalese as you will love the dishes they offer.The restaurant is clean and fresh looking and the Chef and owner is welcoming and has time to explain the dishes and also gives you a little bit of his career history.The only down side is the location as it is easy to miss however don't let this put you off as it is on the main route into the city centre and has very good bars surrounding it if you don't fancy a heavy night in town.The prices are reasonable and the food was delicious.Worth the visit

We found this restaurant by accident and what a find! Great food, but fabulous service from a passionate team. The chef came out and explained the history of the dishes we ate, which weren't your usual asian fayre. Try the Junglii Lamb, but don't eat the dried chillies!

Just happened to be passing so came back later. The food and the service were fantastic. Such a shame they were so quiet on a Saturday night they deserve to be busier. Check this place out.

We ordered a takeaway , picked it up and when we got home found that we were missing a starter, poppadoms and pickles- not happy. The food we did get was very tasty but we felt disappointed with the service.

Great food. Great service. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a great curry, with a bit of a twist. Go! Go now!

I stop in here whilst in Nottingham for work. The staff are really friendly and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.

Been here when it was Gurkha 2 then it closed and replaced by the Gurkha. Layout is the same only thing that looked different was the staff. Order placed and the Chef came out to inform me it was being cooked from fresh so it will be out as soon as possible. After around 15 mins meal arrived and I could not fault it , fully of taste and what I was expecting . If your local it's worth a visit and I will be revisiting next time I'm in the area.

The food was fabulous, great flavours and good for sharing. The poor waiter was there alone, so things like water were slow in coming to the table, but the service was still good, friendly and efficient. The Chef himself came out a few times to ask diners how they were enjoying their dinner, which was sweet.

THe chef was from Bangladesh and was more than happy to create a dish or two that wasn't on the menu. Beautful food.

You must try this place Great food, great flavours, great staff top place. Chef Ish always makes time to check everything is OK nice touch

One of the best dining experiences ever! We felt very warmly welcomed at this inviting restaurant. From the ambience to the polite staff and fantastic variety of food, everything was faultless! Food was full of flavour It was a real treat to be able to learn a little more about Nepalese food .The service was fantastic. Definitely will be back soon! Highly recommend...

This is our second visit to this restaurant The food is excellent good portions and the service is very friendlyI would highly recommend it.

Chanced on this restaurant by accident, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and wine. The food was tasty, with a great combination of flavours, and presentation was excellent. I also thought the decor to be simple but pleasant. Would definitely recommend to others.

visited this restaurant one Mansfield road for the fast time and will not be the last. the napalms food was out standing.. Ish the manager of the restaurant came out and helped us with the menu as we were not to sure about the Nepalis selection.The rice was to die for though.Highly recommend.

Went to this restaurant as it was close to hotel. What a GREAT decision. The waiter made several recommendations after it was asked for advice on Nepalese food and the choices did not disappoint. So much flavour in the food gluttony could easily have set in. The chef came out of the kitchen to check everything was fine and gave advice on the main course chosen. While paying for the meal a tip was left as the service had been so much more than most restaurants. It was explained after the money was collected that this is all sent to Nepal to help rebuild a school after the earthquake there. A nice touch to a great night.Well Done

Have visited this restaurant a couple of times and I must say how impressed I am. I had the Nepalese curries both times. The flavours were amazing and the chef spiced it up for me as I like mine nice and hot. The service is outstanding with Ish the chef who comes out to check your happy with the food and Ash the waiter is very attentive. This is the chef from Gurkha One, so if you enjoyed the food there please give it a go, you will not be disappointed.

i went to this restaurant when it was on mansfield road, it was very mediocre at best!the decor was dated, looked worn and looked dirty.i lived around the corner and never returned.
