A small, informal restaurant. And, okay, so the huge menu is all in Nepalese, but you can still get all the favourites. The waiters ( who love to show off their complete knowledge of the menu ) will help to ensure a korma lover gets the right choice. Smal & cosy, but without doubt the best of its kind in... More

This is one of the best places to eat in Newbury. There is a fantastic choice of food & they all taste differently, so authentic.

Went last night wrh friends who had received a good recommendation on Gurkha Chef. The staff were very frendly although we happened to arrive at what clearly became a busy time (7.30). As such, the staff got a little overwhelmed with the number of guests who all needed attention at the same time. No problem for us as the poppadums... More

Four of us ate here on a cold, windy and wet May evening. I had been advised to make a reservation but throughout the evening the place was never more than half full. Despite this the service was extremely slow, however, what it lacked in speed in made up for in it's warmth and friendliness. The food was distinctly average... More

My wife and I had a wonderful Nepalese buffet last weekend at the Gurkha restaurant in Newbury. The food was awesome, service was excellent. My wife is vegetarian and not easily pleased, but here she was. A starter is supplied with the buffet and that was itself a big one. The non veg starter had two large pieces of chicken... More

The food is generally good but after coming here for a number of years, we have never ceased to be amazed by the ever decreasing portion sizes. Last night's takeaway was the final straw. My Sherpa Kukhura barely filled a quarter of the tin and my wife's vegetable special, which is a stuffed potato dish, is now around half the... More

I thought the food was delicious but the portions were very small for what my partner and I had and in no way did the price seem to fit that. We spent a lot of money and came away rather hungry. The staff were lovely and the place itself was nice, although very small and very very hot, it was... More

Had a takeaway from here last Sunday night. Lots of well cooked, tasty food. Not the usual boring greasy stuff you get in a lot of Indian restaurants. Would highly recommend.This was the first time we've eated their food, we will do so again, and soon. And the Vegetarian selection as good too!

Tried this place for the first time last night after staying over for a business trip and having it recommended to me by colleagues. The service was very good, everyone was polite and we were served in good time. I had the Tarekomachha starter and the Kukhura Rogan as my main, along with rice, naan bread and poppodums, all washed... More
