Wee Gurkha Curry House in South Lanarkshire

Food and service are superbly executed

Couldn't hear yourself speak had a jalfrazi wouldn't recommend best thing about meal was the nan bread

A spur of the moment visit and although not my first time here, what a choice it was. Lovely food served from lovely people. Well worth trying, again and again and again.

Forgot to bring our starters but main courses were really good and staff were very friendly.

Amazing amazing amazing! We visited for a quick meal on a Thursday and it did not disappoint. Great sized portions and the Nan is to die for! Will be back. Highly recommended and great price. Service outstanding

Lovey place inside, decorated very warm and welcoming . All 7 of us had different dishes and all thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely be back again.

Went here last night , the place was busy ,it was 10 miniutes before anyone came for a drinks order ,another 10 minutes for a meal order 15/20 minutes for the starter to arrive. 15 miniutes for the dinner to arrive and when it did they brought the rice ,sauce and nan bread .The sizzler plate arrived about 5 minutes later and by this time the rice was luke warm . The food was average at best . I would not recommend this to anyone.

Our first visit to this Restaurant, the staff were welcoming, the meals were delicious, thank you for the experience we will return

Was here for family dinner. Could not have been treated any better. A warm welcome, drinks order taken quickly, talked through some of the Nepalese dishes that were unfamiliar so to know what to expect. Food was excellent and very tasty. A very good experience we will definitely go back

hi guys, just back from the wee gurkha in blantyre.i took my wife for a celebrational meal, [this was on a saturday evening] we ordered our meal, now i have never worked in a restaurant BUT i would have presumed that the plates [warm] would have been in place before the food would have been served, NO food came first we sat looking at the food to the point we started to pick at the food, the sides we had to ask twice when it was going to arrive. three things are going to happen when you dine here, you will leave hungry, you wont have too mutch to drink and you will be asked to vacate your table as the next diners are wating, NOT impressed.

We really enjoyed the whole visit. I had curried goat which was excellent. The pashwari nan was an absolute stand out A wee bit of confusion around plain chicken & rice for our youngest, but (& this is important) they rectified it very quickly really & no additional charge. We'll be back without a doubt.

We had a lovely 2 course lunch. The food was fresh and tasted great. The service was friendly and attentive. Loved the Buddha statue at the entrance as well. We will definitely be back!

We were passing through there and were in the mood for tasty, good food! Everything we ordered was really delicious. If I lived nearby, I would be there regularly!

Table booked to be there in 15 minutes no problem staff were excellent food was amazing atmosphere great highly recommend this place

Very busy, not enough room and not enough staff.. food was ok.. Not be rushing back..

Good food , friendly polite staff worth a visit

Amazing food. Best restraunt in Blantyre by far! Extremely friendly staff.

Yum yum yum 😋 what a meal best I've had this is a must go to place total 10 outa 10 it was sooooooooooooo good I've told all my friends and anyone who wants to listen , gorgeous place lovely decor 😀 staff are so friendly and polite and very happy to help or just anything you ask there very obliging , the menu is fab loads of choices and great to have so much wanted everything so I must go back now to try other things 😀 but definitely recommend.

We have been in twice for a meal since it opened and the food was delicious. The staff are very friendly,prices reasonable and the decor is lovely.

Mediocre food. Tables too close together. Fish pakora not nice too much batter and not consistently cooked. Chicken tilka was served on a cold hot plate. Very disappointed first and last visit.

Lovely vibe to the place, decent service, welcoming, good fresh food, lots of flavour and the Mrs loves it too...😎

Where I was sitting was drab facing a plain dark green wall ,table and menu were sticky, no table covers,food was warm enough but didn't taste like it should curry sauce was bland and mixed grill was over seasond ,Butter chicken tasted more like a korma too much turmeric no taste of safferon ,didn't like it.prob won't be back .

Lovely meal and attentive staff and will definitely be back. Only concern was that venue is too loud (no soft furnishings to absorb the noise)

Really enjoyed the food. Will defo be back

OMG food was delicious wine 🍷 was lovely also 😋

Update: Just visited the new Blantyre location, and got told by staff that they don't do take-away orders anymore, poor show in this economy... Old EK review: Lovely place where you will be made to feel welcome (the most vegan friendly place in East Kilbride too). Made a great name for itself and rightly so; food is at an excellent standard. Interior is lovely; warmly lit, lovely lamps and beautiful mural. Staff are great. I would dare-say that this is my favourite non-vegan restaurant (heck; my favourite restaurant over all)

Really excellent food at a good price. Service was great but it was sooooooo loud in there. I mean really loud. They try to fit too many people in the restaurant. That and loud background music results in everyone having to talk really loudly which of course spirals.

Didn’t have a great experience with the takeaway from the old East Kilbride restaurant, was looking forward to giving it another chance in the new resturant. Honestly wasn’t impressed the food was just OK, couldn’t complain but wouldn’t be back. Service wasn’t great, pleasant enough just not as expected. The food was just basic. Sadly won’t return.

First visit here and it won't be the last. Had the 2 course menu and it was delicious. Pakoda, korma and chicken tikka. All recommended. Service was swift and welcoming. One small snag, poppadoms are so over-priced. Unfortunately this is becoming the norm.

The food was fantastic great service from very friendly and helpful staff and very reasonable prices very busy so booking advisable

Finally made it to the Wee Ghurka in High Blantyre - well worth it. Food is A M A Z I N G - empty plates say it all lol 😆

Nice bright and clean . A bit chilly even on a summer day . Would have liked more authentic background music.

An excellent restaurant with a great choice of delicious food in a lovely atmosphere.

Food outstanding, great service, lovely decor, 1st class 👍

Highly recommend. Manager was extremely accommodating. We'll be back. Thank you.

Food was great quality and delicious.

Food was amazing, service was amazing. I have a coriander allergy and the staff couldn't have been a bigger help. On my bill at the end there was a note to say 'customer has an allergy to coriander please be aware' first time at a curry house and not had to worry if I will be ill when I get home. I will definitely be back

Food is excellent but the service is extremely slow

Fabulous food..good value for money, definitely be back

Ill start by saying i will return - was good . However had to chase our drinks order three times . Fish pakora starter was very small - 5 tiny pieces lost on the plate. Main was lovely - but overall could have eaten more. Felt portions were sized down to the very minimum of what was acceptable. Food was lovely & i will be back.

Well worth a visit . Great food ,lovely atmosphere ,just what Blantyre needed . We had a great night out there last Saturday .

All the food was amazing and the staff were lovely. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We can't wait to go back

Could not fault the food and the staff both excellent great portions good not to sees mountain of food arrive. What a select of dishes not food at other restaurants such happy friendly staff. Lovely conversation from pub to restaurant. Highly recommend a trip here you cannot have a better experience.

Great food on a first visit with friends. Service wasn’t great, we had to ask our waitress to get our drinks order. From the time we sat at our table till food was put in front of us was just short of an hour! The biggest faux pas of the night was when the waitress started to clear away plates from our table when 1 of us was still eating , I was shocked over the lack of staff training. Despite the poor service I thought the food was delicious and tasted very authentic. Would consider coming back again and hope for a better service next time

My daughter took me for a meal for Father's Day staff were very friendly and helpful also given a scarf a nice gesture as it was only for fathers food was delicious I will definitely be back again 😋

Food was nice. I was there on fathers day, unfortunately I had a bad fall on the slope area leading down to our table. That is dangerous and needs a rubber mat on it and maybe a handle from the wall? I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else. Nothing wrong with my footwear as I was wearing boots. My sister found the floor slippery too.

The chicken wings are best I have had in a restaurant .Great food, great service and well worth the money. The garlic naan is out of this world.

Amazing restaurant that's thankfully not far from home. Was there for fathers day and despite being very busy, the staff were attentive and helpful. Must recommend the goat curry. So nice.

Decor really nice and we were seated straight away. Food was really good and all freshly made and good sized portions.only downside was service was quite slow. From being seated to food coming out, we were 50 mins! Other than this, I would recommend and would visit again.

We Booked a table for early this evening for a wee family meal out We were not disappointed and this was our first visit to the new premises.Top marks to Team Gurkha the Set out and decor are really nice and welcoming.Staff as usual very attentive and polite Food was top notch as always, Hot Plates too a must in my book.Was a great visit and our guest was well impressed with the quality of the food he is a bit of a curry connoisseur himself so many thanks again to the team for a very enjoyable meal.will be back soon. Regards Billy & Jaqui Ross.

First time there with family Lovely food and staff

Amazing Nepalese food . Made fresh Very enjoyable 😉 Update..... Relocated to High Blantyre. Better in so many ways More room Select areas Very pleasant atmosphere Parking area Incredibly nice staff .......

Couldn't fault anything in this restaurant absolutely gorgeous would highly recommend we will be back

What a lovely spot to spend an afternoon with friends. New place but quality of food, care and atmosphere remains as high as ever. Still a wee gem!!!

Visited for dinner and had a lovely meal. The food was great, full of flavour, well presented and thoroughly enjoyable. There is a range of choices to suit all tastes and the Nepalese lamb dish my partner chose was amazing. The mixed grill I ordered came in the usual sizzling skillet and all the meat was cooked to perfection. If I had any slight issue it was that there was not a lot of curry sauce to have with the rice let alone the meat. This however could just be a personal preference thing and certainly will be going back. As it is new premises the decor is fresh, clean and well presented. Tables have enough space to move around and the high ceilings giving an airy atmosphere. They operate a kind of one way system with an entry and exit door into and out of the restaurant and to the toilets which keeps any traffic moving. We walked but there is a car park at the back with a decent amount of spaces but does fill up quickly during busy periods. There are a number of bus routes within a couple of minutes walk though for access from many surroundings areas including Glasgow. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Attentive without being overbearing and always nearby should you need anything. Would definitely recommend and 100% and establishment Blantyre was needing.

Third time in 4 weeks I’ve been here for dinner and every time the food has been absolutely delicious. Every time I’ve tried a different curry and each time it has exceeded expectations. The South Indian garlic chilli chicken was the best I’ve tasted. Very varied menu too with great starters and deserts also Staff are great, food is great! 10 out of 10 for me!⭐️

Outstanding meal out, staff couldn't have been nicer, steady service despite it being full.

Been looking forward to going and man it didn't disappoint beautiful fresh cooked food it was delicious and I definitely recommend you go and try at least once you won't be disappointed

We both enjoyed our meal here. Bill came to just under £50 for 2 people. Id say 1 rice and 1 nan is enough between 2 for future. I think £1 for 1 poppadom is a bit much, I’ve minused 1 star as I feel staff could be more attentive but overall nice wee local restaurant

Great restaurant,food and service is amazing..always book

Absolutely fantastic food and service was faultless.

We’ve been Wee Gurkha customers since they started in East Kilbride. The restaurant moved to Blantyre a few months ago and still having Christmas vouchers to use booked this for 30/05/2024. The new restaurant is wonderfully decorated and fresh and clean. The space and covers have tripled from the previous site but the food remains delicious, plenty of it and served in warm beautiful plates and dishes. Staff are warm and welcoming and I had a chance to chat to Mohan the owner and wished him continued success. It’s not that far from East Kilbride so will definitely be back (more vouchers to spend!) This looks like a great move for Mohan and his family. Excellent in my opinion. Thank you for looking after us yesterday afternoon.

We throughly enjoyed our first visit to the Wee Ghurka and we will definitely be back soon. ;-))

Had a table of 4 booked for Saturday night. The table we were sat at was really small, basically a table for 2 so was really awkward to have a relaxing meal. The time between starters and mains was around 45 minutes which is totally unacceptable and no staff member came to explain any delays. The food sadly was below par and extremely oily. The price for a table of 4 that had starters, mains, 4 soft drinks and 2 beers was £111 which was rather expensive weighed against the experience and the quality of food. All 4 of us had bad stomachs that night and the next day. I'm not claiming food poisoning just that the food caused all 4 of us to have a bad stomach. Sadly won't be going back which is annoying as we were all looking forward to having a decent Indian sit in restaurant near by.

Did not live up to all the hype. A processing error with our food order resulted in over an 80 minute delay in food appearing at our table. Despite the complimentary round of drinks to placate us, it was further let down by the lacklustre food which was dry with little flavour to it, the exception being the vegetable pakora, which was to die for. Needless to say, that is not enough justification to hurry back, which is a pity, as we were all so looking forward to it.

First day off in 5 weeks, booked a table for the last sitting of the evening. In the morning prior to going out we received a text asking if the booking time was correct. Should have followed my instincts and cancelled then. Table booked 2215. Arrived at the restaurant at 2205 to be told closed for the evening, after showing the booking confirmation we were taken to a table, to wait 15 minutes before being offered a drink and to be told we couldn't have bread as the oven was now off. Went into the toilet which was disgusting, came back out and still waiting on starters, was at this point we gave up and left. Phuck that, won't be back, disappointed, rubbish service. They didn't mind serving the table of woman in the other room tho.

Couldn’t resist giving a review after our 2nd visit to Blantyre’s newest restaurant. Let’s start with the new booking system- super efficient. Staff and service delivery great. Menus have a great selection for both meat eaters and vegetarians. We both opted to have Nepalese curries again and we were not disappointed. Tandoori roti and rice completed our meal. Absolutely delighted to have an authentic Nepalese restaurant on our doorstep. Highly recommend a visit to this wee gem. Food: excellent/service: great/value for money: cheaper than a carry out. We’ll visit again just shortly 👍

Visited the new location of Wee Gurkha and the and food and service superb. We traveled all the way from Newcastle. See you in 2 weeks time again guys

1st time here. Omg! The food is amazing! We ate every morsel! It was busy with good atmosphere. Staff were lovely. We will definitely be back! Delicious!! 😋

Absolutely terrible. Waited 2 hours for dinner. Dinner was cold. Didn't complain as there didn't seem any point. Waiters couldn't understand us. Was a struggle to order the meal. Tried to complain but the waiters couldn't understand what I was saying. £50 down the drain

Had a fantastic meal with the family food was amazing and staff were outstanding I would definitely recommend

Had a great meal at the Wee Gurka after its relocation. The building is looking fantastic. Love the new setting and the meals are as good as ever! I wish you all the success in your new place.

Fantastic meal and service as always. A great addition to Blantyre, food and service as amazing as it was in EK. So happy to still see lots of Vegan options. Thanks so much for the owners doing us a huge favour tonight (table 31) it was totally appreciated. Wish you every success. The place looks amazing, what a transformation from our old wee local. 10 out of 10

Three of us were in Glasgow and we had dinner here. We all enjoy Indian food but non of us had experienced Nepalese food, so the partnership between the two here drew us in. The place was very busy but the kindly host found us a spot. So very glad she did too because the food was amazing. The staff is hard working, professional and kind. We all loved this place.

Took my partner, mum and dad down for dinner tonight. First time visitors. We absolutely loved our food. Tasted fantastic. Service was great and the pints of kingfisher even better. Will absolutely be back. 10/10

What a wonderful addition to Blantyre! After successful opening few days ago we managed to get a table for dinner. Everything was immaculate! Service was amazing, all staff took good care of us. The food... Absolutely incredible! Both curries we chose were so full of flavour and delicious, and lamb was very soft. Great selection of drinks and draught beers. This is probably our new local now. Absolutely recommend!!!

couldn't fault anything food delicious service and server very good

Nice very nice good food nice decor would recommend

The restaurant forgot about our mixed grill, by the time they returned with it all other food was stone cold. The mixed grill was merely warm. Did not enjoy this meal.

Nothing beats a visit to this gem of a restaurant. Superb! Fabulous food and service.

Good and tasty food, friendly and efficient staff.

Was looking for a curry house and decided a Nepalese restaurant would make a change. Although quiet when we called the service was excellent. Food tasty and good value .We had the spiced onion chicken pakoda and Nepalese chilli chicken followed by the Khasi Ko Masu and the chicken Nepal curry all washed down with a beer

Another visit to the Wee Ghurka and it didn't disappoint. The food was excellent and we were well looked after by the friendly staff. The Butter Chicken is fabulous as are all the dishes on the menu.

Food delivered 90m after order placed, just eat suggested 45-60mins for delivery. Food was stone cold, not enjoyable.

Food was too cold not enjoyable at all

my food had so little chicken in it, it was ridiculous, and paid £30 for it, it was our first order with this restaurant and will be our last

Always made to feel welcome,first class service & food always cooked to perfection,best restaurant around

First time visiting this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. It was cosy and warm. Great atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. The food was fab and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back. Highly recommend a visit.

A chance visit as were passing thru EK on way home popped in for a meal Greeted as usual by pleasant staff Food was excellent I had the mixed grill wife had fish curry mother in law a curry expert went for the goat curry all served up piping hot and extremely tasty thanks again will be back again good luck with the relication. W.Ross Coalburn.

I ordered a starter of fish pakora and received chicken pakora. No big issue though. All of the food was excellent.

Visited yesterday and was really impressed. Staff all very friendly. Great selection on the menu and the food was spectacular. We all picked different dishes and everyone loved the food!

A fantastic place to eat. I have been eating out of here for nearly 9 years but unfortunately I have had a terrible meal now the first since I started eating here. Please sort this as it’s probably in the top 3 places to eat consistently.

Food excellent had Xmas diner here was amazing staff very attentive

The fodd from here is always great. Even when there was a slight issue with my order tonight, it was easily resolved with a phone call. The issue was sorted as quick as possible and the food was excellent as ususal. Thanks again

Great curry. Thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend

Brilliant food. Just a shame they try to con you by adding stuff to the bill EVERY TIME I GO!

This is our third time eating in this restaurant and food is fabulous. I wish they open their branches near where we live in Paris. The staff and the owner very humble and the food is gorgeous. We don’t know when we come back again but we like to wish them the very best.

The food was lovely, a really nice takeaway. The food was ready earlier than the stated collection time from the restaurant so was ready for a bit before I could get there.

Brilliant food excellent service definitely recommend . Mohan is the perfect host.

Very disappointed, this was my favourite place to order from but the food has changed it’s not anywhere near as good quality or as tasty as it used to be the chicken was chewy the sauce had no flavour at all he nann bread was like a store bought one and it’s not exactly cheap which I didn’t mind when food was great but unfortunately its went from amazing food to I’ve had better curries from the supermarket
