They will amend dishes to make them spicier, milder or just different. If it is not listed on the menu, just ask and they will rustle it up. They do a buffet on Sunday and provide takeaways for collection. Handy for the pub across the road (Litten Tree) and the Swan Centre. Definitely my go to Indian Restaurant after a hard day.

Generally, I don't like Indian food. I had a bad experience in 2001 with it and ever since have…read morerun in the opposite direction. Maybe it's just the US that doesn't get Indian food right? I don't know, but Gurkha's Inn has altered my opinion somewhat. I have no idea how Nepalese or Himalayan food differs from Indian food so if you're really snobby about that, stop reading this review as my opinion will be worthless to you. I was with some co-workers on our way back from Stonehenge on our day off and we had no idea where to eat and they were both craving Indian food. Since I was out-voted, I went with it thinking I could probably get Tandoori chicken and hopefully be fine with it. The restaurant was just opening when we arrived and although it's not a very large place, it is very comfortable and the decor makes the whole place feel warm and intimate. I think we were the first table sat and by the time our food arrived, the whole place was full! For a small town like Winchester, I was surprised, but then again, it was a Friday night. I did end up ordering the Tandoori chicken which I enjoyed immensely. I'm okay with some spice, but I don't like burning my mouth apart and this version of Tandoori was a good mix for my weak palette! My only advice if the owner is reading this... the restrooms (or I guess water closets as they say there?) are pretty gross. The floor was sticky and it didn't feel clean. Maybe bring some of the charm from the restaurant in there to clean it up? I don't know.

This is not as interesting a restaurant as one might hope. Either Nepalese and Himalayan cuisine is…read morea staid and bland cousin of its Indian counterparts or the chef has an uninspired interpretation of its traditions. Like at least one other Gurkha restaurant in Winchester, the name is a an army reference to the base in town. It's an understandable retirement plan for a Nepalese soldier serving far away from home. Unfortunately, what probably seemed wonderful cooking in the mess hasn't translated seamlessly to the more demanding kitchen of a chef. The menu choice is very wide, a weakness of most middling curry houses. There is the standard gamut of Indian classics tailored to the takeaway crowd and a surprisingly large selection of chef specialities. My unmemorable encounter with one of these (I forget which) was disappointing. My girlfriend had a lot more luck with a sizzling clay oven cooked chop of lamb. This is not a bad restaurant, if it were a little cheaper I would give it three stars. As a takeaway it will probably serve you quite adequately. It's quite possibly even the best in Winchester.

Last week I ordered 2 curries to collect and was told it would be 30 minutes - I turned up 30 minutes later and the order hand even been started. When I got home they had messed the order up. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and put it a delivery order a week later and was told it would be an hour; not a problem... 2 hours later (with no phone call telling me there would be a delay, etc.) I call up to find out where my food is and the moron at the restaurant tells me it is just being cooked now!?

The food is truly special, with a fantastic menu and very friendly and courteous staff. I've tried most if not all of Nazs Specials and boy are they worth trying!!

Try this restaurant, you won't regret it.
