The Gurkhas in Perth & Kinross

What a set of idiots, we booked for 22 people to eat at 8 pm, at 6.45 we receive a call to say can we place our orders now over the phone so they can prepare the food, so much for freshly cooked, we insisted we want to order when we arrive, nope we can't do that as we close at 9.30, so we had to cancel the booking. We had just driven 250 miles to get to Crieff and the last thing we wanted was to sort out from everybody in 8 bedrooms what they would like to eat in 1 hours time.

Wonderful food and excellent service. No doubt one of the best restaurants in Crieff and the surrounding areas. We will be regulars here.

Great food but had called in other days and told 1.5 hours wait to collect a naan bread! Tasty food (bit pricey though!) including great chicken tolka and naans BUT poppadoms never fresh. Please make your poppadoms in the evening. Undress non crunchy poppadoms for years now!

Staying at the fantastic Crieff Hydro resort and decided to venture into Crieff for a meal. Having had many fantastic Nepalese meals before we decided to try the Gurkha Crieff. Disappointed does do it justice. The welcome as ice cold, with the host just pointing in the general direction of the table. The service was poor. No niceties, or welcomes. The menu indicates if you want anything specific then please ask. We asked if they had anything like a traditional Nepalese Dahl Bath, but this was met with a firm no. The poor service created an atmosphere and left my children feeling uncomfortable. The food was ok. The table was being cleared prior to my daughter finishing her food. Again, this interaction left us feeling rushed and unwelcome. Finally, two items were missing from our bill so I identified we had been under charged. Although the bill was corrected no thanks was given for identifying that we would not have paid the full amount. On reflection I thought these interactions were due to the personality of the host, however witnessing their interactions with regular customers it became clear it was not. Having travelled to Nepal, this was not indicative of the experience we have had there, with many Neplais or with other Nepalese restaurants in the UK.

Fantastic service and fantastic food My daughter’s first GF takeaway curry. Food was absolutely amazing, flavour and taste Service was fantastic when we called to order and collect

Fantastic curry restaurant- a must! This was the most generous portions and one of the tastiest well balanced curries we’ve had. This was recommended to us by friends who stayed in Crief last year.

I got a take away from this place and it was brilliant. Portion was massive and very tasty. I had the lamb tikka, with chapatis. It came with complementary papadams.

Garlic chilli chicken, butter chicken and chicken masala. Garlic Nan is perfect. Fantastic food. Only slight annoyance was phone rang continuously during our meal. Won’t hesitate to return though.

The best curry we’ve ever had. Lamb was cooked to perfection. We will be back next time we’re in Crieff.

I was in Nepal in January and this still beats it. Honestly one of the best Nepalese Restaurants I have ever been to. Lovely staff and fantastic food. The naan breads are delicious too. Thank you as always!

Visited Gurkhas with a small group of golfing friends on a Thursday evening. Service and food was excellent. Portions large. Very friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend.

Booked a table here last minute and was not disappointed! Delicious curries and big portions, really enjoyed.

Had a really nice meal in Gurkhas on Saturday night. First time there. Staff very welcoming and attentive. Food was excellent and portions generous. Very reasonably priced and worth every penny . Will definitely be back on our next visit.

Really great Indian food Fresh tasty starters superb selection of meals Garlic bread Highly recommend

Travelling to Scotland from Brighton to do the NC500. Stopped off at Crieff to overnight. Ate at this restaurant which was ludicrously overpriced and the food was dreadful. I don't understand how this establishment has been given five stars by some reviewers. The food was shockingly bad. By example I ordered a chicken Pathia which I have eaten many times. The sauce comprised pasata and Ketchup. No spices or authentic flavours whatsoever. The chicken was obviously pre-cooked and tasted stale. It was revolting. I could continue but you get the idea. Avoid at all costs and eat elsewhere.

Authentic food and friendly staff. We stumbled on this restaurant 4(ish) years ago and re-booked for our visit to Crieff this year. Not disappointed. Amazing food and friendly vibe.

We ordered some Pakora and Naan to take away, to have with food we had cooked ourselves. So, admittedly, not a big sample. But it was disappointing. The Garliec Naan hardly tasted of garlic, the veg Pakora was not spicy at all and the pakora sauce was too sweet but had little flavour otherwise. Indian food should be tasty and spicy.

awesome food/great portions/friendly atmosphere and value for money! Thank you so much it’s been great!!!

We arrived in Crief Friday 13th March 2020 and four of us decided on a take away and this place came well recommended, we were not disappointed, they do deliver but we walked and had a Cobra whilst waiting, service was excellent and such warm people, now, I’ve had excellent Indian food before and this was a mix of Nepalese and Indian the excellence of which I have never experienced, it was out of this world. Three of us had Tandoori Chicken, one had Tandoori King Prawn, we asked for a Chana Masala and as not on menu they made it specially, best ever!!! We also shared a Lasun Aloo Piro which was a spicy potato dish with Garlic. Portions were amazing, one chicken dish was enough for two so today we having left overs. Don’t be tempted to order more than one Naan it’s enough for two or three for sure. All washed down with two more Cobras. This is the best Indian food on the planet, hopefully we will repeat the pleasure next week, then I likely got to wait until August to go again. Keep up the standards and thanks for a great meal.

Restaurant is not typical Asian decor. It’s quite a lonely and non indian/Gurkha setting!!!But!! The food is outstanding. It really is a must. I tend to stay away from your traditional Indian curry house favourites. Try the chef specials of Gurkha traditions. You will not be disappointed. I had 21 king prawns in my main course. I left totally satisfied and I visited again a few days later. Again! I wasn’t disappointed

Terrible service, had starter but waited an hour on main meal and food was half cooked. I asked manager and their reply was your cheaper with takeaway service as we are very busy today the place wasn't even half full in fact more staff to table ratio.My friends and I won't be back again and it spoiled our holidaying festive experience of Crieff!!The manager also took pics of us at table, surely that's data protection!!

Super food, many thanks. was pointed in this direction from Kenny at our Hotel, very pleased. Will be back next visit.

Before I start I have to say that the heating was on as I passed a radiator and it was blasting out and they did have small other heaters but i think it’s the building that is sucking the heat out the place. I was frozen sitting waiting for my food as were all my friends. So I suggest if your going in winter wear layers as it spoiled my experience being so cold. Not sure how the business can resolve this issue.The place is small on a corner and the night we were there eat in dinners were few but take out was flying out, so you know the locals are eating here which is good.We opted for popadoms and spicy onion dips to start and they were really good, asked for more onions as we all were tucking in. We had ordered a mix of food rice and naan so we could try, share and enjoy the night. Unfortunately we had a very long wait approx 40 min from when we finished our starters to get our foodWe were also cold so we all got a bit hangry!The food arrived and it was good. Potion was ok. 2 folk could easily have 1 with a rice and naan and finished it all. If you were a person with a bigger appetite 1 might be enough. We split the rice between 2 and 1/2 a naan and that worked out the best, no waiting of the food.When each curry arrived it looked different, so often you get curry and think what is what as it’s the same red colour. These were very tasty and the meats them self had lots of flavour. The curry I chose seemed to be lacking it extras ie onions or peppers and it wasn’t as good as others I’d had elsewhere however it was still good and tasty and lots of meat in it. I tried my friends lamb dish and it was so flaky really well cooked.The price point is also really reasonable too around £15 pp ( inc rice and naan) before drinks If your in the area I’d say book a table you’ll not be disappointed. Just wrap up if your inside in the winter as it did spoil my experience

Saturday night, very busy - lots of carry out orders coming in plus the restaurant covers. Despite booking the table we had to wait an hour for the starters and the meal took 2.5 hours in total for 2 courses. However food was superb - large portions so ask about portion size. This was our 2nd visit, we suggest you book at a less frantic time. Would still visit again. Waitresses were fantastic - lovely girls and not their fault the food took so long to be served.

This Indian is well worth a visit. We would not have visited had I not checked on tripadviser! It does not look like an Indian from outside! However it was quiet and very clean. The popadoms and chutneys were amazing, again the best we have had. All the meals were quick and good size portions. Prices were not too bad, all in all a great place to eat if visiting Crieff. Seems to be the best takeaway place also as many people were just calling in to collect take aways. Well worth a visit

Good choice, very generous portions (some of us had curry for breakfast the next day!) and quick service. Opted to collect it - only 5 minutes from our lodge.

Very good. Big portions, prices are as you’d expect. Good service, step at door makes for less than great access for people with mobility difficulties

So many takeaways to choose from in Crieff. You must try here, you will not be disappointed as this is the very best curry house. You will not be disappointed

My husband and I recently stopped in an air bnb in Crieff and were recommended this restaurant which also delivers takeaways.

Nice friendly restaurant. The service was very efficient with our drinks order taken within a few minutes. All our food was very tasty with the nan bread being lovely and light. My only problem was that my eyes were bigger than my belly and I struggled to finish my main course after a huge starter. My husband also struggled but he did manage to finish his curry and the nan bread. A comprehensive menu so there should be something for everyone.

We ate here on a Sunday night and it was a busy little place! Even though it was busy, our drinks order was taken quickly and our drinks served within a few minutes, same goes with our food order!

We have passed through Crieff on three occasions, so far, and on each occasion I have been intrigued by this Nepalese restaurant (which also serves Indian food) and luckily this time we were there at the right time because they were open and they had a spare table or two.

We were staying in Crieff and having checked the reviews decided to book for dinner. First impressions were not very good, more of a cafe than a restaurant. We have eaten in many Nepalese restaurants and the menu was more Indian with very few authentic Nepalese offerings. Portions were very large with plenty of meat but the sauces were rather strange, nothing like we have tasted before, Prices seemed rather high compared to other Indian restaurants and we would certainly not return or recommend,

There's not much I need to say really apart from wow! We live just outside london and regularly eat a curry once a week! This was up there with the best we have ever had.

I really can’t fault this restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. Their Peshwari nan bread was certainly different to any I’ve had previously. Very sweet but highly recommended!

Beautiful food is the main thing to gain my confidence to eat this food. The food was the 2nd best Indian food I have ate in Crieff!

We were in the area due to a family wedding, we tried to get a walk in booking on the Saturday night but there was no table available, the food smelt so good we booked a table for the following evening.

Good menu, excellent food and service. Easily accommodated on a Saturday evening with no prior booking.

We picked up our meal at the specified time and I was welcomed by a friendly female with a beaming smile. The menu is great, a balance of well know British curry’s and more authentic styles which are well worth exploring.

We looked on trip advisor for a Indian and this came up! Parking located close. However, a lot of double yellow lines so be careful. The portion size was massive even for me (I’m greedy!) the nan was incredible. We all got curry’s and enjoyed them so worth a bash if your looking for a curry take a away

Best tasting curry I’ve had in a while. Lovely staff, small restaurant, and priced about right. You’ll get blasted with the cold when the door opens though

Stayed in comrie and got home delivery twice from this place. Really good Indian food delivered hot by a very friendly driver. If you’re a fan of Indian don’t hesitate in ordering from Gurkhas.

Great food, very good portion sizes, lovely atmosphere. Very attentive staff that cater to your needs. Would recommend and defiantly go again!

Visited tonight..what can i say food was so gd, fresh,hot and full of flavour....staff polite and attentive. Recommend.

Popped in here while in the area for dinner, recently refurbished, looks nice enough and food was excellent, recommended, staff very pleasant

I reviewed the Gurkhas last year after a lovely meal. Visited again tonight. Arrived just after 8pm. Waitress told us that they were shut. This was despite advertising in large letters on their front window that they were open 7 days a week up till 10.30pm, and also someone else went in whilst we were there to pick up takeaways. We had passed 15 minutes before and had seen several tables taken with people eating. Really disappointed and will not be giving them our business again. Poor poor show. Shame.

We had no problem getting an early reservation on Sunday evening for a table for four. I had been longing for a decent curry and had set some high expectations. Being in Scotland where sheep are scared I thought I'd try a lamb curry, which I enjoyed a lot. The saag paneer lacked a bit of flavor, and the chicken korma was a little bit to heavy on the coconut. All in all it was a good meal, but not excellent.

Staying locally, had a lovely takeaway, very good quality food, massive portions, so that's breakfast sorted.

We had an absolutely amazing takeaway meal from here. For starters we had poppadoms with a selection of dips and chicken & vegetable pakora. Then we had chicken jalfrezi and a lamb Kathmandu reshmi masala and a peshawari naan. It was just amazing. So refreshing to have a nice carry out in a rural location. Everything beautiful and freshly made to order. Thank you so much.

Not a clean plate after very generous portions. Would 100% recommend. take no notice of whining individuals complaining. I realise this sounds like a fake a review but don’t really give a f**k. The place was amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

We ate here recently and were unimpressed with how expensive it was for the food we received.. You can get better quality for cheaper else where.

Lovely meal but the toilet could have been cleaner.There was a build up of duston the pipes close to the floor

We just wanted a nice curry and that’s exactly what we got. This place is well worth a visit. We ate in. The staff were very nice and attentive , just fine. Service was at a good pace, plenty time to browse the menu and enjoy poppadoms before the mains arrived. The butter chicken is to die for, best yet. Very well done

It may not be the most enticing looking restaurant but don't let that put you off.

A wonderful meal awaits you at this little restaurant in the delightful town of Crieff. The staff and so polite and attentive. Everything looks very clean, have eaten here a few times and never had any issues. The Nepalese dishes are fantastic with an amazing array of flavours. Th equality of the meat and prawns is high, which makes a difference to the dish. It makes a nice change from Indian and I think tastes so much better.

It lives up to its reputation, I went in to order MOMO,s but was told they were off the menu. I asked for a recommendation,and was given a beautiful dish. Service was excellent 😊😊

Visited on an overnight stay in Crieff and so glad we found this place. Doesn’t look much from outside but the service and food were amazing. We had two delicious starters then two chefs specials and they were all fantastic. Very reasonably priced, would definitely go back and would highly recommend.

Decided to get a takeaway while staying in Crieff. As we didn’t know the area took pot luck as to where to pick (must confess to a quick glance at Trip Advisor before going in!) and we were extremely pleased with our choice. To us it was value for money as huge servings and the flavours were great. We went for a meal for 2 but realistically the meal was so large we could have shared 1 between 2 of us. Lovely touch was the chef/owner (not sure) coming out personally and handing us our meal.

The Gurkas, does nice food but has recently increased it's prices by up to 40%. Inflation is currently around 2.5%. This is simply not realistic in Crieff. People's wages have barely increased over the last few years. They need to fix this mistake

Had a great meal. Staff very friendly and very helpful and pleasant well recommended.nice bottle of house red and a nice bottle of house rose reasonably priced .chicken Dakota and onion bhaji were delicious Curries were superb .

Delicious food, always very helpful and polite staff, only had takeaway but has been delicious and always in the time frame they advise

The restaurant is fairly small so I would recommend booking. We were a party of 8 who all enjoyed the food that we ordered - the service is excellent with all of the staff being so friendly. If you are staying in Crieff I would thoroughly recommend a visit, you won’t be disappointed!!

Staying at Crieff Hydro for the second time this year, and the second time we have ordered from The Gurkhas.

Delicious meal. All tasted fresh and cooked to perfection. I had the lamb tikka which was so tender and melt in the mouth. Lovely naan breads so light! Will definitely be back and the service was delightful Thank you

We ended up at The Gurkhas after finding it on Trip Advisor. It lived up to its reviews, food lovely and different to other restaurants with its Nepalese offerings. Staff friendly and helpful.

This place looks more like basic eatery from outside but do not be discouraged by that. All the food we had was great. Pity they did not have mango lasi. Prices are above average. One of the few places open till 10pm.

Tried The Gurkas on a suggestion and was not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and happy to accommodate our young daughter with no request an issue. The food was very good and I can recommend trying the Momo which is a Dumpling from Nepal. When we are back In Scotland we will return.

Went with a group of friends and we had all been before and were not disappointed on this visit. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is excellent. We all had different dishes and everyone was of the same opinion. I would recommend the Egyptian kebab or the chicken korma and the nan bread is the best I have tasted in a long time. We will definitely return.

Have just looked at others' reviews and wonder if this was just a blip?

In terms of restaurant food this was one of the best that we've visited in Scotland. The chicken Jalfrezi definitely worth trying. Food quality was great.

Everything about the meal was fantastic , really tasty authentic curries, garlic naan was soft , warm and garlicky, great dips for the poppadoms - special shout out on the spicy onions ! And lovely friendly service! Would definitely recommend!

The best Indian food I have had ever, always fresh, great delivery service and lovely staff.If you are visiting Criegg this restaurant is a must or for home delivery.

Called in for meal, not busy in the restauraunt, was more a cafe type setting than an Indian restauraunt.

Just returned from dinner at the Gurkhas and can highly recommend this restaurant if you like good Indian food. Flavours were great and the heat level was just right.

I was passing through Crieff after most restaurant kitchens had closed and someone recommended the Gurkhas. And it was a good recommendation. The set menu for one provided me with reasonably priced, nicely flavoured, and plentiful food - I have a decent appetite but was some way off being able to finish all the food. Friendly service, too.

Absolutely amazing food! Super friendly staff keen to offer recommendations. Everything about the takeaway was spot on. We had a drink whilst we waited which was no problem. Highly recommend and would definitely visit again!

Lovely food and a nice atmosphere, the food is very similar to Indian cuisine and they have traditional Nepalese lager and wine and all at a reasonable cost

This place doesn't look much from the outside but the food was superb. I had the lightest chicken pakoras ever and there was a plentiful supply. The traditional Nepalese cooking is worth trying. My lamb Kathmandu was spicy and delicious and the naan was crispy and light. My partner had the special mixed tikka masala and it was equally as good. The bottle of merlot was mellow and the service good. Recommend this highly. One of the best Indian meals I have had.

We often come here from London when visiting relatives. The food is absolutely lovely, without fail. Recommend chicken choyla and lamb methi. But everything’s good. Wish it was our local!

My husband and I were just passing through after being up at Ardlui when we fancied popping in for some food. We were served really efficiently... the decor was ok... the food was so tasty... will definitely be back.

As a trip advisoruser i totally use it all the time

Having eaten here we found the food to be of a good quality and lovely with good portions would definitely go again.

We had a takeaway from this restaurant when we were staying within Crieff on a mini break.

We had a lovely meal for 10 people, never had a bad meal in this restaurant. I did feel very disappointed when at 9.30 the waitresses told us they were closing in 10 minutes. Our kids hadn't even ordered dessert. We managed to order deserts and again around 9.45 we were told that thwy were closing. To be honest i felt like thwy had taken our money £180 of it and just wanted us out the door. With businesses closing down nowadays in high streets im actually shocked at this..... How not to treat customers.

Food was very nice and tasty. Would go back. Polite owners and staff and the restaurant was very clean.

Visited here after looking for inspiration on Trip Advisor. Really tasty food, we ordered starters and mains with a side...

I read the reviews on Trip advisor and decided to have a look, I was not disappointed and the food...

First visit to the Gurkhas in crieff and definitely not the last. Here on holiday but will def return. Food...

While staying at the Crieff Hydro we came down to The Gurkhas for a meal. It didn't disappoint!! The starters...

Visited here recently during a stay at comrie. Food was fab and service was very good. Nice warm welcome

The only downside is that the Gurkhas is not where we live! We had a great meal - the best Indian we have had for a long time since our local burnt down. Portions were generous, prices realistic and service was great. We sat in for our meal and enjoyed every morsel.

Was pleasantly surprised by this visit as my last one as disappointing. This. Time was food was well cooked the service still lacks style but a big improvement

Enjoyed an excellent meal while in the town on business. Very friendly staff. The food is of a high standard and the menu offers a good selection of starters, mains and side. I can recommend the Kathmandu chicken as an excellent example of traditional food available. Well worth the visit.

We were looking for a later dinner after arriving in Crief on a Monday. Most of the sit-down restaurants were closed. we went into Gurkhas and they stayed open to accommodate us. The food was very hot and delicious. The only thing I would say negative is the dishes we picked were very much the same, but that's on us, not them. thanks

Had not thought of trying this but was glad that we did. Lovely meal would recommend to anyone to try. Don't let the decor put you off as it appears a bit run down.

Meal for 2 choice was veg pakora followed by lamb bhoona. This wasn't the first time we have had this selection but really good Flavours in these dishes. We tend to eat what we know is good. Had other meals here with not a thing wrong but eat our favourites.Attentive staff with pleasant relaxed atmosphere. Cannot go wrong.

Had a take away from here, was very good, and really good value - you have a to wait a bit, but worth it.

We popped in to Gurkhas for an early evening meal as we were driving via Crieff. Both starters and main courses were delicious - the naan bread was tasty and fresh. We struggled to finish everything so left with a doggy bag. We'll definitely be back.

For me this is the place I compare curries to whenever I have them somewhere else. Their lamb bhuna is delicious. Good, delicious sauce that is not too overpowering and the perfectly soft and tender peaces of lamb. I mean just yamm. I am not a fan of the pakora choices they have. They are dry and not very tasty. The garlic naan and the pesawari naan are the perfect addition to any food. We have always gone for the take-away option and enjoyed generous portions of food that was always nice to munch on the next day. When ordering keep in mind it will take about half an hour for it to be ready. But the wait is well worth it.

As living near London I tend to see a mixture of good and bad curry houses. I wasn't expecting much to be honest with this one in Crieff as although clean it looks basic. I have to say though the food was very good taste and price wise. Really friendly staff and visited 3 nights running as I stay in Crieff each year and often feel in restaurants here that I'm not wanted as I travel on my own to do a few hills, not here though and will be back next month when I am up for a week.
