I haven't had much experience with Nepalese cuisine before so was very excited to try this restaurant. For my main, I had the lamb rump with lentils. I was a bit apprehensive about this dish as I am not a huge fan of lentils whilst lamb is one of my favourite meat. I'm glad to say that the dish did not disappoint. My opinion of lentils have definitely changed for the better; it was incredibly flavourful and my only complaint is that there wasn't more of it! The lamb was, of course, beautiful - as expected. Choosing a dessert was a struggle as they all sounded so good and so different from anything I've had before. I ended up going for the dark chocolate cremeux with guava curd and sorbet which was beautiful. The sorbet was so refreshing and light, and paired perfectly with the dark chocolate cremeux which had a much richer taste. There were some crunchy pieces in there that was delicious! The ambience of the restaurant was also lovely. After having had a busy day in London in hot weather, the peaceful vibe of the restaurant was such a haven from the hustle and bustle of the city. Staff was polite and all looked gorgeous in their traditional clothes.

Lovely meal at The Gurkhas restaurant. We started with nibbles Aloo Nimki - Potato dish, followed by main dishes of Monk fish for myself & lamb dish for my husband which were all delicious. We had a spring salad on the side, would also suggest having rice as well. Desserts were equally good. Service was very attentive. Great price currently for 2 courses £24 - really great value We thought the alcohol Drinks were a little on the pricey side. Definitely recommend a meal here.

A short walk from Oxford circle tube stop- a 5 min walk away. Seating on long bench felt low for a taller person . Low lighting at front end, it could be brighter. The further back at the bar area with the light well is much brighter and a bit more airy. Tables was also a tad bit close together. Nice mirror effect made the interior look bigger. Appetisers was very nice, Th Aloo Nimki: Cold Potatoes salad with onions was fresh and was good with the pastry parcels with looked like crispy squares . It is very filling due to the deep fried pastry parcels/ squares. Bala was also good with a nice crushed lentil flavour. Mains- was Disappointed that they had run out of the lamb . The Gorkali Pork chops was slices of pork: the Pork was great on the outside - nice and charred but over done on the inside unfortunately, the mint sauce was nice. Monkfish Cholia- The monk fish again over done. The garlic slices was too intense as burnt. Deserts: The Khuwa Creme caramel Was Excellent. The Dark Chocolate Cremeux: This is chocolate mousse with pieces of courgette with cumin which was not great and did not suit. The Napalean mule cocktail was below average! The Spring Tai which was purple was a much nicer cocktail. Service was good albeit they were understaffed.

I tried Americano, hot chocolate, and main food. Americano was very clean with a rich crema. Hot chocolate is something I would highly recommend for an extremely sophisticated taste, not overly sweet, with a smooth texture and a delightful aroma of spices. I had tofu rice, which was quite good. However, the signature dishes here are Mapo Tofu and eel rice. I will definitely give them a try next time.

3 - 5 Rathbone PlaceHi there, I am writing to express my deep disappointment and disgust regarding my recent visit to Tampopo East Street. I had dinner at your restaurant. Neither of us eats meat—I am a pescetarian, and he is a vegan. He specifically requested the vegan menu and made it clear multiple times that he wanted the sweet potato katsu. Despite this, he was served chicken. When we pointed out the mistake, the waitress proceeded to shout at us aggressively, insisting that we had ordered chicken, which makes no sense as neither of us eats it. She continued to argue, even after we calmly stated that we were not upset—the place was loud—but simply wanted the correct dish. Her behaviour escalated—she shouted at us extensively, pointed at us, and even called the manager despite our attempts to de-escalate. Though she was eventually made to apologise, she did so while laughing behind us the entire time. For the remainder of our visit, we were met with hostility and rude looks. This entire experience was humiliating and entirely unacceptable. Given the level of hostility and the fact that my guest is a regular customer who orders the same dish every time, the only conclusion I can draw is that this treatment was racially motivated. I expect a formal response addressing this incident. If you disagree please send over a recording of the incident for me to look over formally with the appropriate so I can decide whether legal action or another sort investigation into the matter is needed. I do not take such matters lightly and a removal of the service charge is not sufficient action in respond to the matter. I am deeply disturbed by your institution and there is no excuse for such behaviour. Sincerely,

145 Cleveland StreetA tiny restaurant and not much room if waiting for a takeaway previously ordered, although we were kindly offered cold water while we waited. All food was delicious but can recommend the Crispy Aromatic Duck, and King Prawns with Ginger & Spring Onion.
