As a foodie from New York, I have high standards for ethnic food. This restaurant has the most unbelievably awesome menu - traditional Nepali, Tibetan and Indian food, with spices you've never tasted before. Order the yak Momo, the chicken tikka masala and the spicy lamb Newari. You won't be sorry! Wait staff is so nice, too!

I recently moved away from Minnesota, and this is one of two restaurants that I will miss. Gorkha has it all - excellent food, wonderful owners and servers, and great ambiance. It's the perfect place to catch a relaxing, quiet meal in a warm setting. I've tried the majority of their dishes, and all have been absolutely delicious. The lunch... More

Gorkha Palace is simply a wonderful restaurant. The service and the food can't be beat. My husband and I go back there again and again for both the lunch buffet and for dinner. The lunch buffet is a great way to try a variety of the Napali and northern Indain foods. At dinner, when I am able to force myself... More

We have never had this cuisine before so were a bit hesitant. However it was great. The atmosphere is warm and inviting but nothing outstanding. Our server was very good and helpful with suggestions. I loved the food. It was very flavorful and fresh. I even tried yak. Tastes like beef. You can adjust you spice level and the descriptions... More

The variety was amazing. The flavors so unique. The restaurant is warm and inviting. We felt like we stepped into another world and sat at a table in the Nepalese mountains. Great find!

good price, good value, delicious food. We were shopping locally and asked a shop owner where we should have lunch, and she recommended this. So glad she did, I've been back several times and have never been disappointed.

Went there on a weekday for lunch - how many ways can you spell "buffet?" The food was really good - tasty and hot - and the service was fine (nothing special either way). Ambience is not much to write home about, but, hey - a restaurant for lunch is about the food, and theirs is excellent. My wife thinks... More

If you love Indian food or any other type of authentic ethnic food then here is the place to go. The Paalak Paneer was unlike any other I've tried. The veggie pakoras were also very crispy and deliciuos. I am definitely eating here again when if I ever visit Minneapolis again. The service was also great!

As I live in Minneapolis, this is a restaurant we visit frequently. I have never tired of the food and the service is wonderful. It is tucked away at the end of the block, so it may be a bit hard to find but worth the effort.

The food was unique. We ordered the Chicken Sekuwa and the Spicy Newari with lamb. Both were awesome entrees - like I have never had before.
