The Gurkhas Flavour in Lewisham

Visitamos el Gurkha's sabor anoche y estaba un poco preocupado al principio porque era muy tranquilo. Sin embargo, cuando la comida llegaba nos sorprendimos gratamente y realmente disfrutamos de los platos que elegimos.Para empezar, el Momo de verduras al vapor verduras estas bolas probado encantador. Al lado, Pollo Tikka Masala, Pollo Makhani con 2 porciones de verduras y 2 porciones de arroz ajo Naan y un lado de Bindi, que todos sabían increíble!Mi plato estaba limpia, ya que me había terminado la calificación de 4 es para la comida, la decoración sin duda con una renovación, pero no impidió volver.Gracias!

Service was attentive and choice of beers limited but good. Went for the Nepalese feed and found the Momos excellent. Portions were good and tasty. Certainly well rewarded for the climb from Catford Bridge. Though I booked I guess there is plenty of space early evening.

Unbelievable I booked a Christmas Eve dinner more than 2 weeks in advance, got sent e mail confirmation and when we turned up on the night the restaurant was closed!!! No one contacted us! How can you still take booking with this restaurant if they don't even check their bookings!!! Never again I will be booking a table with this website!!! Shameful!

Mejor Restaurante indio en South East London. Barato y alegre la mejor comida es la variedad nepalesa recién cocinado. El servicio puede ser un poco lento por el próspero para llevar pero la comida vale la pena esperando. Nadie va a ir por la decoración, pero y qué. Esta pequeña joya no tiene adornos simplemente buena comida a un precio razonable. Superior a muchas articulaciones inmensamente más caro en el barrio.

A través de una comida esta noche pedimos comer solo. En el menú, el tandoori plato mixto es catalogado como incluyendo un pan naan. Llegó sin uno, así que nos llamó y nos dijeron "que no viene con uno más". Tuve que discutir, dirigirnos a el recibo que dice en blanco y negro "servido con naan pan". Al final dijo que nos naan la próxima vez que pedimos. No iba a tener eso. Un conductor de entrega con un gruñón aparecía pan naan media hora más tarde, ni una palabra de disculpa. Se cometen errores, pero es sobre cómo tratar con ellos lo que importa. Tratar con errores gsutó Gurkhas. "La próxima vez que "no ocurrirá.

Este lugar solía ser encantador. Recientemente, el menú y el personal han cambiado, solo puedo asumir que es de nueva propiedad. La comida era aburrida, las opciones estándar y el servicio horrible y lento.El vino de la casa estaba hecho de jugo de uva reconstituido.No regresaremos

Yo solía usar este restaurante, pero regresé por primera vez en más de un año para llevar. Este solía ser un restaurante magnífico en términos de la calidad de la comida, el curry preparan con especias frescas.El Dhansak que tenía era grasosa y carece de sabor. Lo pedí al vindaloo caliente, pero podría también no haber molestado.Sólo puedo asumir que ha cambiado de dueño que estoy seguro el dueño anterior no hubiera dejado el descenso de la calidad de los alimentos, asíque no te molestes mal volver de nuevo.

Me dieron un bono de groupon para probar este lugar y no me decepcionó.Comida muy sabrosa y agradable servicio.Por desgracia, no es el lugar que muy a menudo, así que a veces te sientes como si estuvieras sentado en una sala de estar y necesita extraños para estar tranquilo.He estado allí un par de veces, así que si usted puede mirar más allá de eso - tendrá una noche deliciosa.

Home delivery quick but average food don't think Id order again .There was nothing wrong with it but quite bland for the this kind of cuisine.

awesome tasting curries each time so far nom nom :)

Love the food from here its so delicious

Left out part of the order last time. Called and restaurant said they would send over with next order. Of course that didn't happen despite a reminder along with the order today. Good food but would not order again.

reasonable food, large portions and they even added in some extras (unsure if they meant to though!).

Amazing. Delicious fresh food- will order again!

The food from Gurkha's Flavour is always amazing and this time was no exception! Highly recommended.

I've tried a lot of different Indian take aways before and this is by far my favourite. I've ordered many take aways from here and each and every time the food is flawless. Looking forward to my next meal from gurkhas flavour!

La comida es muy buena (mención especial a un plato de pescado, hongos y principal y hermosa llanura naan. El menú incluye platos de Nepal usualmente no visto en el menú de muchos restaurantes de cocina asiática de Londres.El restaurante en sí es pequeño, y me imagino que un buen ambiente cuando está lleno; a pesar de que nos dijeron que estaba completo más veces que llamé, las dos veces que visité éramos los únicos comensales. La decoración es bastante pasados de moda, no hay problema. Y ME GUSTA las fotos de mi amigo me dice India Nepal en establecimientos tienen el mismo. El camarero era muy amable. Un poco intrusivo que tienen llevar orden suenan alto alertas de vez en cuando.No estoy seguro de lo que está pasando con la política. Fue un poco extraño estar en un restaurante y escuchar lo contrario vacía el camarero diciendo el teléfono 'Estamos completamente reservado esta noche". Pero quizás no eran, poner flores frescas en cada mesa.

Amazing. Delicious fresh food- will order again!

Really fabulous food - beautifully cooked and delivered really quickly. Highly recommended.

So where do I begin.... I thought I'd try this establishment again after having a good-ish experience, this time As a take away. Please understand I live 2 roads away from this restaurant and waited an hour and 5 minutes for my food! Whilst on the phone to an incompetent manager the food was received and was STONE cold! The excuse was given to me from the manager that "yes it is only 25 minutes late what is the big problem" which I brought to his attention that it was NOT 25 minutes late as I was told 30 minutes - remember 1hour 5minutes! I requested a full refund in which I was called by a senior manager who was at home. This coward of a man is rude, unknowledgeable, incompetent and disgusting and is very lucky he has not met me in person! Especially after hanging up on me because he didn't like it when I made a fool of his "solutions" as they were totally a joke. He started the conversation by calling me a liar, suggesting I TEXT him my bank details for a refund to which I declined for obvious reason, he then proceeded to shout and try to be sarcastic! Biggest mistake to make and didn't like it when I put him in his place. Then demanded I never order from him again and that I was wasting my time as his restaurant was the absolute best I the area! HAHAHA funny mate. After an hour of arguing and him contradicting his own points I made sure he understood that receiving my refund immediately was the best solution as I would take this further. I will be seeing him

Order was very late and missing items when it arrived. Food was deeply unimpressive. Will not ever be ordering from them again.

Encontramos un cupón en espera para el restaurante y nos pareció que era una buena oferta para dos personas. El vale era para 2 personas - 2 inicial, 2 principal, 2 lados y 2 cervezas pequeñas cada uno por £12. La comida era tan sabrosa, volvería de nuevo y pagar el precio completo. Sin duda se lo recomendaría a mis amigos y familia para ir al restaurante. Sólo decirte que es un pequeño restaurante - así que no estoy seguro que sea adecuado para grupos de más de 6 por mesa.

Quick efficent and full of flavour. Well priced normally go for the take away option, try the nepalese dishes for a different curry

This restaurant is at the top of my road so is something of a go-to in time of need (eg when I haven't been to the supermarket).The food is always excellent (whether takeaway or eat in), the staff are very friendly and the food is a good price. Highly recommend.

Brilliant place. delicious food. especially for vegetarians. sag harrabarra is phenomenal. Up there with rasa stoke newington church street, as the best veggie curry i know of in London.

Our note not to ring the doorbell was ignored. We did not get the free beer that the order qualified for.

There appears to be a bit of a disconnect between receiving internet orders and what's physically happening in the kitchen. I received an email to confirm that the restaurant had received my order and the time to collect. When I arrived my food was not ready and I had to wait 20 minutes. This is not the first time this has happened which is why I'm flagging it up. I would add that I was given a complimentary drink as compensation which was adequate and welcome although I would rather just be able to collect my order at the time I've been advised it's ready.

We checked the review comments and decided to go for it - not disappointed!Dont give it five star as its only a small shopping parade restaurant and may be doesnt have the five star touch m, but the food it good and with your taste card excellent value.

The food was OK. . The thing is this was just like a takeaway with 6 tables in I felt embarrassed and annoyed that it was not stated on the Groupon deal

The food is always nice but their delivery system is the worse one I have ever experienced. I frequentely order from them and if the food is not delivered much earlier than the time requested is than much later, sometimes reaching over 45min delay.

Really disappointing food let alone the ambiance of the place. The service was decent and the bread was fantastic that's why the two stars but everything other than that was shambolic. We had starters each one non veg mix kebabs and another momos and both were apalling at best. The main course was another disaster with no taste, chicken seemed stale and the gravy could easily have watery or oil separating and flowing away. To add to it you keep on hearing constant phone ringing and take away orders ringing your ears which makes you wonder why people are ordering from this place when the food is this bad. Never to visit again, even though its close to my house, sadly will give it a miss for good

Oh dear. I'd heard some good things about this place but it wasn't to be.We could have lived with the waiter's sad attempts at banter if the food had been any good. Poppadoms slightly soggy and dips bland. Awful dumpling starters that were slightly hard/undercooked. Main courses were poor as well. Tried to overcharge us and it was overpriced anyway. Should have done what we normally do and order in from the outstanding Bengal Brasserie in Hither Green.Avoid.

Although a bit watery, I had a decent enough chicken madras for a very reasonable price. Delivery was on time. The food was a bit on the cold side but nothing a minute in the microwave didn't sort. Satisfied overall - 6/10.

The food is always good quality and tasty but is the third time that we asked for the food to be delivered at specific time and it was delivered much earlier causing the food to be cold and we having to reheat. If you need the food for a certain time I would not recommend them.

This was the second time ordering from Ghurkhas Flavour. We were such big fans after the first experience but something tasted off in the meat and we both fell ill after eating together with upset stomachs.

I live just up the road from this place and order takeaway from here all of the time. Having been to India and being a huge fan of its cuisine, I am incredibly fussy when it comes to Indian food. Ghurka's has some really authentic dishes and everything has so much flavour. I love their vegetable and seafood specialities- which are often scattered with fresh spring onions, garlic or ginger. Divine food, reasonably-priced and unpretentious.

My daughter and I have visited this Restaurant on 4 occasions with a Groupon voucher. We are trying new Nepalese dishes we have never eaten before and other dishes from the Menu we are familiar with. The portion sizes may not be overly large, but I am completely full after my 2 course meal as is my adult daughter. The food is always very well presented and cooked and served piping hot. The Customer service is always good each time we have visited the restaurant and we are made very welcome and the waiters take the time to explain any dishes we need more detail about before placing our orders. I have never had any problems booking a table for 2 with a Groupon voucher. We have never eaten in this restaurant without observing that the other diners also have some form of voucher. They do a roaring takeaway trade judging by the amount of orders being collected by customers. I highly recommend this restaurant if what you want is really good food at a very competitive price if you have a voucher.

The food is very tasty but the delivery time is never quite for the time I asked unfortunately. If I place an order for an specific time I dont really want 30min earlier.

We were there the same night as Suzy Violet - we heard her bemoaning the online fee - but had a totally different experience. Do not be put of by the unprepossessing exterior, the tiny seeing area of this largely takeaway joint is well worth a visit. It is one a five minute walk away from offspring so would usually have had a takeaway but decided at the last minute that rather than wash up we would eat in so rang up to reserve a table (no fee). OK they do ask if you have vouchers and have different deals for various ones but quite frankly it is such good value anyway that it's not worth worrying about. It also means that you are not restricted on menu or drinks. We each had a Nepalese speciality - one chicken, one lamb - both excellent - spicy but not harsh. With a 'Nepalese' beer - brewed in the Uk but eminently quaffable - to wash it down we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Service was excellent. The restaurant area has been spruced up since our last visit a year ago and there are now crisp white clothes and well laid tables.

I purchased a groupon voucher and wanted to take a special friend for a meal. Firstly I was told that as I booked a table online I would have to pay £2 per guest as a fee. This is not stated anywhere online and when I pointed out that the owner was making £4 just for a 4 second task. Then he said that we could leave and come back another day if we did not want to pay and when I pointed out the restaurant was empty and I have never heard of a restaurant asking for £2 per head to book a table, not a deposit he told me thats the way it is to take it or leave. The owner then started to serve other customers while we were in the middle of talking to him and finally took our order. After ages we got the starters and there was a huge piece of cling film in it. He did not apologise or offer to replace the starter and then after about 40 mins came the prawn masala which was literally full of sugar and had 5 prawns in total with the tiniest portions of rice. I love Indian food and have enjoyed many restaurants and this is the first time I have had truly rude and poor service and really poor tasting food. I will be reporting this to Groupon too.

I have already reviewed the Gurkhas flavour, but I felt I needed to do so again. We regularly get take always when we have family visiting and every time they say it's the best they have ever eaten. Consistently wonderful Nepalese and Indian food at great prices, delivered by lovely people and cooked with real care. If you haven't been- you need to go. (Or get a delivery)

I thought this type of restaurant had been left squarely in the 1980's! Dips for poppadoms were old and tasted very bad, plus little choice. Starts were small and my chicken was very dry, the salad accompanying was clearly cut and put in a box a day or two before.The mains were ok but mainly onion, which was the same with the side dish, and there was little in the way of spice/ heat in my jalfrezi.Decor is very dated, crockery/glasses etc about 10 years old and when you ask for tap water you get a tiny glass. Personally I think restaurants should bring a small jug as a matter of course or it is just a pain.Service was quick and the young waiter was very pleasant and friendly.I would not bother returning, even on a deal/offer.

I was given a coupon for a meal at Gurkhas Flavour in Forest Hill (SE London) and the other night the other half and I ventured out in the rain to try it.The restaurant is tiny - 25 covers maximum but it was warm, dry and inviting inside. The smells of Nepalese cooking were inviting as well.There were only ourselves and one other couple eating in house but lots of take away and delivery business going on.We had an all vegetarian meal - which we had plenty of options to choose from. It was all served hot and fresh. The highlight of the meal to me were the sauces which were fragrant and well spiced.Don't bother with the house wine.A nice spot for a rainy Sunday evening.

It's just a plate glass fronted retail unit on the South Circular, - hardly the most promising of venues for a Nepalese feast - but the food and service have both been excellent every time I have visited. Menu has something for everybody but is different enough from the usual Bangladeshi cookie cutter curry house to make it interesting, I am a particular fan of the Saag Harabara. Justly popular and very reasonably priced, this is a local restaurant to treasure and well worth a visit if you are in the area.

We went on a Groupon deal and were very happy - the guy who served us was friendly, there was a nice atmosphere, and the food was yummy. Had two really nice lamb dishes for our mains, plus delicious naan and some rice. Starters were traditional Nepalese momo's which weren't amazing but perfectly good. We had no issues with the voucher or anything and would happily go back as prices didn't seem bad.

We decided to order takeaway from this restaurant based on the good reviews we saw online and we were very impressed. The plain and spicy poppadoms were delicious and the lamb momo starter was lovely. The mains were gorgeous – tender meat with fresh ingredients, well-spiced but not overpowering. The standout dish was the Parbat lamb with chickpeas and courgettes. I found the online order form to be hassle-free, and delivery time was about an hour. We'll definitely be ordering again soon.

Excellent food! Quick delivery on a Saturday night

My partner and I are never ones to be too fussy about food, particularly when it is from a cheap deal like the one provided through Groupon. We really didn't expect anything too amazing, but this meal was just so disappointing. Our starters were ridiculously small - we ordered the MoMo dumplings which were basically tiny sized balls of pastry with minimal filling. We both ordered entirely different mains (a chicken and a prawn dish) and were given the same tomato based curries with different meats added to it. I had asked for advice on a prawn dish with a bit of spice whilst my partner chose one that was very spicy, only neither had any level of spice in them at all and were both very bland. We left the restaurant very hungry and picked up a takeaway burger on the way home. The only positive thing about the experience was the service - the waiter was very polite and friendly.It's a shame because we live nearby and thought it would be a good deal to try the restaurant out with. It's safe to say that we won't be returning.

The food here was quite greasy and was not really satisfactory, they also rushed us and asked if they could have the table after only what felt like a short time. The staff were quite rude to my friend and it made the whole experience here not that great. I would avoid going back to this place.

Food was absolutely delicious, good value for for money considering I had Groupon voucher. The service was great polite gentleman and I would recommend it.Victor

Management need to attend a training course on customer service and marketing; I recently visited on a Groupon voucher and yes, people look at Groupon as a means for inexpensive dining out(me included) but also as an inexpensive way of trying out a local (or not so local) establishment and determining if it is worth a revisit or recommendation to a friend(me included) . Work does not lend itself well to a week night out and seeing that the restaurant does not open on a Saturday, the only possible day was a Sunday; with great difficulty, we booked a Sunday evening (3 weeks in advance) as they were booked up well in advance (?? I really question this). Unfortunately due to a family bereavement, my partner was unable to attend the evening so I phoned the restaurant to see if in some way they could accommodate. Unfortunately the voucher was going to expire after another 2 days but they would not provide a takeaway or if I attended the restaurant, they would not provide a "doggy bag" for the second dinner. I decided that I would attend myself as I thought that "in person", they may respond differently but alas no, they would not even allow me to order the second meal or even take advantage of the second drink on offer. "As you are only one person, you can only order for one" irrespective of the voucher being valid for two people. It is the first time in my life that I have left a restaurant hungry.

We tried this small restaurant for the first time and were pleased we had! Okay the dècor is a bit rustic but the table linen was spotless and the service excellent. Our waiter explained some of the more mysterious dishes to us and we had a tasty experience of Nepalese cooking. Can recommend.

awful delivery time, 2 and a half hours after ordering. food was mildly warm. appalling service with no apology. paid in full but will not be ordering from again.

Went there on a group on voucher deal for 6 people we were told that because only 5 of us turned up we eouldvlose the order for the 6th person I have never heard anything like this since I have been using groupon vouchers. The young guy who was supposedly our waiter was so rude as much as the food was good will never see me back there again which is such a shame as I was looking for a local Indian pity! Fix yourself up I say

Delivery took almost 2 hours. Person on phone rude and obnoxious when we asked how much longer it would be. Food was way oversalted and decidedly average. Ghurkas Flavour used to be great - presume new management are rude, inefficient and unable to find a decent chef.

Came 1 hour early when we weren't ready. They took it away and said would bring a fresh meal. I don't think this was the case. Shame though as used them the week before without this app and was fantastic

Very small restaurant in desperate need of a make over. But what it lacks in size and glitz is made up for by the quality of the food. The young man that manages the tables is very friendly and efficient. Can recommend the Nepalese beer too.

This was our second visit and we we weren't disappointed. It was the same person who had looked after us a month or so earlier, and he instantly recognised us. He suggested a couple of new things to try, both of which were great. The food was just as good as it had been previously. We tried the Nepalese beer which went well well with the meal. Thoroughly recommended.

There is a reason this place is struggling. Aside from the unattractive location. Myself and two friends (redeeming a Living Social voucher) arrived on a very chilly Sunday night at 7. It was cold inside and empty, with a synthesised pan pipes version of an Elton John song playing. We were 'welcomed' a few minutes later by a gentleman who informed us that the "£1 surcharge (which) applies for online table bookings", was 'per person' rather than 'per table reservation' as implied on the voucher. I questioned this but let it go - we were hungry and couldn't be bothered to argue further over £2. He then asked if there were just three of us. I informed him that the fourth in our party had had to cancel and so there would only be the three of us. He then, rather rudely, told me that in this case that we could only have three meals despite having paid for four. I asked him why this should be the case and he informed me that "it is our rule" I asked him what the reason was and he didn't seem to be able to give an answer. He then invited us to leave and to seek a refund from Living Social. I gratefully accepted.I was called later on by a lady claiming to be the owner, apologising for the attitude and behaviour of her staff. She made no attempt to make amends though, beyond inviting us to come back another day and make use of the voucher. I suspect her call was driven mostly by the fact that as we left we told the maitre d that this Tripadvisor review would be forthcoming (though I see I am far from the only one having similar poor experiences here) and that one of my companions, who works for the local council, would be having a word with Trading Standards about them. There are many nice places to eat in Catford, Forest Hill and Sydenham. This is absolutely not one of them - good food or no.

We have been to this restaurant many times and we are always happy with the service and the food. It is not local to us so we only go when we have a voucher. The decor is pretty dismal but we love the food. The waiter is always pleasant and helpful. When you only pay £14 for a voucher you don't expect a lot but the portions are a fair size and a drink is included so no complaints. We will be going again soon.

A meal for four with a wine or beer each for £28 seemed too good to be true and it unfortunately this turned out to be the case. Things got off to a bad start when I rang up to book for 5pm (we have a baby so any later than that isn't good) and were told that they don't open until 6pm. The voucher said from 5pm and their website actually says open from 4:10pm on a Sunday. Anyway, we got to the restaurant and were the first people there.We ordered drinks and the waiter told us that we could not have beer with the voucher because the only beers they have were 660ml Nepalese beers or 660ml Cobra. We said we were happy to share one beer between two but he said this would not be possible. I asked how they could advertise beer with the voucher and have beer in the restaurant but then not serve it and he just said he couldn't do anything. The stupid thing is we would have happily paid for the drinks anyway, £28 for food is a good enough deal in itself, it is more the principle. Later on we actually saw someone bringing a crate of smaller beers into the restaurant, I'm guessing there is another drinks list that is only available to customers not using vouchers... We ended up buying a few beers and used the voucher for wine and soft drinks but I just did not like the way they went about it.The food was all ok, there were some interesting dishes to choose from that you don't see on normal Indian menus as well as the standard fare. The portion sizes were all quite small, again, I wonder if voucher customers are given smaller portions, I know that some places do this. There is normally too much food when you go for an Indian meal but we ate everything and probably could have done with a couple more dishes.We ended up spending around £30 on drinks, which we probably would have almost done anything but I thought I should let Groupon know that they are changing the deal terms after selling the vouchers. After three weeks of emailing Groupon every few days, they eventually refunded the £28 I had paid for the voucher so it turned out to be very good value after all. Not sure I would ever go back though. There are plenty of good restaurants around and this one did not offer anything that made me want to return. The décor is terrible, it is pretty small and they play a mixture of pan pipes and power ballads. I don't mind a bit of pan pipes but they were playing the same 3 songs on a loop repeatedly for about an hour to the point where it became funny.Service was basic, not very good customer service. We had to pour our own beers and when my friend accidentally spilt some onto the tablecloth the waiter made a comment about ruining his tablecloth which gave us the impression that he hadn't been planning on changing it after we left.Considering the dingy setting, average service and bad music the food would have had to be abundant and/or very tasty for me to return, unfortunately it was neither of these things.

Full of flavour and always high quality. Excellent.

So... where do I begin.. tried to book a table for 6 over the phone for my mums birthday and the person I spoke to told me to call back later tomorrow as they were busy.. ok fair enough? so i did. when i finally spoke to a guy to book it he told me I can't use the groupon vouchers I paid for previous to booking, then asked if i could just use one of the vouchers at least and he was no very happy with that. disgusted with the way I was being spoken too over the phone didn't even bother going to the restaurant.

I arrived for an authentic experience a few days ago and the restaurant decoration was something out of a horror movie! It was tiny and filthy..there was no place to sit comfortably and customer service was a disaster. The staff were rude and it appears they didn't have knowledge about personal hygiene..we were meeting friends so we were in no position to leave and convinced ourselves to give the food a try. BIG MISTAKE! the food came in tiny portions and was not tasty at all..seemed like microwave food from the grocery store. The way it was presented was not great and overall will not be returning again and would not recommend this place the prices are high compared to the quality and quantity and the place is filthy...not sure how it is still open.

Like many people I dont think we would have ever found ourselves in Catford on a Sunday night hunting for a Nepalese restaurant if it hadnt of been for the KGB voucher we'd taken a punt on. Initial impressions were ok if not overwhelming - the restaurant is situated on the main road just between Forest Hill and Catford but to be fair you probably wouldnt race to try it if you just happened to be passing. Parking was easy, right outside on a Sunday night and with plenty of space in the surrounding side streets. Probably worth noting that they only open in the evening from 5pm onwards but this is 7 days a week. If you dont have time for a sit down meal, from our experience there, they also do a very popular take away delivery service to the local area.Our welcome was friendly and whilst there were only 6 people there when we arrived, the place is so small we never felt uncomfortable and throughout the meal service was friendly and polite. The highlight however was the food which was delicious and beautifully cooked and with a whole range of dishes that you dont normally find on the menu - we particularly enjoyed the traditional Masa Bhutwa!With the KGB voucher at £15 for the two of us including house wine/beer the value was unbeatable, but even at standard prices this is not an expensive night out and definitely well worth a trip off the usual beat.

First time using this takeaway, had lamb madras, nan and pilau rice - all lovely. Poppadums that came free were especially tasty. Will use again.

I came here using my groupon voucher. We had to wait a few minutes before being seated. Once we were seated it took the waiter a long time to bring over our menus. The place looks very old and dingy and smells. The food was tasty, well some of it. The rice tasted like it had been microwaved. All in all, it's not a place I would return to again. The place is so small I came out stinking of food.

Saw the restaurant on KGB Deals and thought it was worth a punt. Was a little worried by the 0 food hygiene rating but had no issues! On arrival they were still hoovering which was a little offputting but the staff were friendly and explained the deal - two mains, two starters, two rice, two beers for £15. The starters were average (we had the mixed starters) but I thought the mains were very good - particularly the unusual star fruit dish. The beers and rice were fine. Overall I felt the meal offered excellent value. I would happily return.

We were a tad nervous when we arrived as it was very quiet, but I guess that's what you get on a Monday night. The food was wonderful though! Definitely the closest thing I've had to meals in India since leaving. The house wine was a good measure and very nice. For what we paid it was outstanding.We'll be ordering a takeaway soon :-)

We visited because of a Groupon deal as the restaurant isn't in our local area, a small restaurant with 18 covers, not the most appealing looking place with dodgy decor that your nan might like but the food is excellent, the portion sizes were quite small and I don't know if that was because we had a voucher or if these are the regular sizes. Service was good and the waiter was friendly and knowledgable.If you live close by then this place is well worth a visit.

We also went on a Groupon voucher like many of the other reviewers. We have driven past this restaurant hundreds of times but never thought to go there as it doesn't look particularly appealing. However, i obviously shouldn't have judged a book by its cover as this is a really good little restaurant. The food was excellent - very different from a standard Tandoori, distinctly Nepalese. The portions were just right, the service was good (the waiter went to a lot of effort to explain about the food and the difference between Indian and Nepalese food), great value with a Groupon but not expensive at all if we had had to pay full price. They also do a take away which is good news! The interior is pretty basic but fine when there's plenty of people in there. My only tiny criticism would be of the terrible piped music - covers of Elton John's greatest hits - which we must have heard three times! With a change of music it would be perfect...

We visited with a Groupon voucher, which was amazing value at £14 for 2 with a drink. Portions were just the right size. The curry was lovely and slightly sweet - a bit different. the restaurant is small, cosy, and retro-feeling. The staff were very helpful. This restaurant is worth trying, as is the Kathmandu lager.

We had a Living Social voucher to use - £14 for starter main course, side, and win/beer each - which really is superb value! The setting feels like a take-away with a smallish restaurant area - that said the place was full which made for a decent atmopshere - the food was excellent (particularly considering the value) - we both went for nepalese main courses, a lot of flavour without some of the heaviness of "traditional" indian dishes The only critisisms I could give from our experience was the restauarant had a drip from the flat upstairs (so one table couldn't be used) - also on the service the waiter took our plates when there was some food left - didn't check whether we'd finished.I would definietly come back with same Living Social Voucher (they are always on) and would use regularly if I lived closer - the value still makes it worth a trip on occasion - overall very good!

Our first visit to the restaurant, and we'll certainly be going back. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome. The young man who looked after us was keen to help and recommended a selection of Nepalese dishes in place of the familiar Indian ones that we had identified initially. We were not disappointed and I would certainly suggest asking for their advice if in any doubt. The food was great, with a fresh and subtle taste. Highly recommended.

We have visited The Ghurkas Flavour several times now, most recently in September, and I have been meaning to write a review because it really does stand out. The food is Nepalese and each dish tastes excitingly different and freshly cooked. As other reviewers have said, the food is not at all oily so you leave feeling you have eaten just the right amount and not too full. Their momos (small vegetable or meat dumplings) make an excellent starter and there is a really tasty chicken and potato dish. Service is friendly and efficient. The retaurant is tiny so booking is advisable.

fantastic food, we always enjoy eating here. never get dodgy stomach and the combination of spices is an excellent one. even when we move we will be coming back. not a large restaurant but why does that matter?

I have made three visits to this impressive restaurant with different members of my family,we all enjoyed the experience.,& plan to return. I recommend this venue.

bought on a living social deal and it was ok for what we paid, however wouldn't re book even on the same deal. Portiond very small. Service not great, waiter was so busy on the phone taking orders for take away food that the rice for our main course was served 5 miutes after the main course arrived. Food was nice but just a poor setting and poor service.

This tiny restaurant serves great nepalese food without the heavy oiliness of usual northern indian food.Try the somfu masu (lamb with dill), very interesting flavours. Nice light rice and great momo.The space is small and very unpretentious( they do lots of takeaway) and the staff very polite and friendly.

I've been twice with my husband and I've been pleasantly surprised each time.Modest setting, small and unassuming. Food is excellent. Meat is tender, sauces exquisite. Naan bread is fresh and delicious. Staff are very welcoming and accommodating. We will come again.In fact, we just ordered their take away tonight.

My girlfriend and I dined at Gurkhas Flavour on a Friday night. The restaurant is small but there was still a good atmosphere with all of the tables full. The food was excellent, particularly the main courses. I had a lamb dish and the meat was very tender. The food was also not oily as curries can be at times. Service was very friendly. All in all a really good meal and we will definitely return.

This place is excellent. I've been meaning to write a review for ages and now I'm finally getting round to it. Having eaten in and had deliveries, I can honestly say that this place is the best around. Providing a great mix of interesting Nepalese dishes combined with the more standard Indian dishes there is something for everyone here. Yes, the place doesn't look the most dazzling from outside, but the staff are great and really friendly and all of the food is super fresh. It's also great value for money. Honestly couldn't recommend The Gurkha's flavour enough.

Having lived in the area for a number of years and walked passed this establishment countless times I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food and service on offer. The fascia is not the most appealing (perhaps why I have not visited previously) but inside everything was very clean. The eating area is quite small when compared to similar restaurants in the area but size is not everything. Both our starters and mains were delicious. I can certainly recommend the Masa Bhutwa. Tasty spices within the sauce with an ample portion of lamb. The service was polite and friendly. Overall, I was very impressed. Since we were the only customers at the time, I am unable to give a 5/5 rating as I have no experience of a busy time such as a Friday or Saturday evening. Perhaps I will submit another review when I have, as I will definitely return.

We enjoyed the food here and we found the service to be good too, we were able to use our tastecard so it was a really good value meal. Unfortunately for us our experience was spoiled by another customer, a Scottish man who did his best to ensure that everyone knew he wasn't happy and seemed to think that all curry meals should be served with "Cheps"!!

We only had a take-away but we won't be repeating the experience again. We had 2 mains: hariyo chicken & masa bhutwa and complimentary poppadoms. I tasted a poppadom first and it had an unpleasant musty flavour which I put down to rancid oil. The 2 mains had gloopy undistinguished sauces with a similar musty undertone. We have eaten a great deal of Asian food over a 40 year period and we can only recommend that you avoid this restaurant.

Went to this little restaurant/cafe last night and it was a real treat. Its not posh and not very spacious, but VERY clean, good food and lovely staff. We had 1½ drive to get there from Hertfordshire, but it was worth the journey!
