It's a beautiful thing to witness, even better to experience. My Negroni order was sent to the bar while my server and I chatted about what I might like. So efficient. I ended up ordering a couple of small plates. A spicy lamb dish and a hot/cold combo of yogurt and mashed hot veggies. Rather quickly my drink was served and a short while later my food appeared. Those small plates were not so small! Loads of food for one, perfect starters for two. Finished with a house chai - delicious!

The place is popular with both locals and tourists alike, so reservations are a MUST. If the variety of the menu overwhelms you, and you want to play it safe, The Garlic Nan, Vegetable Samosas, and Chicken Pakorah are among the "smaller" items that pack just as much flavour as everything else. Be mindful of some of the meat items, as they can pack quite a kick. Drinks are plentiful, as well, but don't expect the best selection of alcoholic beverages. Hey, no place is perfect.

I'd popped in and out of a few other restaurants that were fully booked, and was pleasantly surprised to find open tables when I walked into Gurkha. The ambiance was cozy, and felt like I was eating inside a family's home. The food was delicious and plentiful for the price. I was so thirsty from sightseeing, I drank my mango lassi before I thought to capture a photo for this review. It was just the right consistency of thickness and sweetness. For appetizers, I had the king prawns. It was perfectly spiced and delicious. It was followed by chicken biryani and naan. There was a sauce provided for the biryani that took it up another notch. For me, the prawns were the star of the show. At the end of my meal, I got a chance to chat with the owner and learned they are from Nepal. It was a pleasant exchange and the service was great.

Open…read morefor breakfast and lunch, the dishes on the menu consist of simply, homely food such as dal and chapatis or chicken curry and rice, but here simple really equals delicious as the women who work here are all amazing cooks. The décor is very plain, with white walls and paper tablecloths, but somehow it works, and the cafe feels very light and airy. Set up as a social enterprise by a Sikh women's collective, it's comforting to know that, by enjoying tasty curry, you are also supporting a very worthwhile community initiative. This place has a refreshingly different (and dare I say it, more authentic) atmosphere from a typical Indian, and is definitely somewhere you should check out.

It's a nice little venue, bright and with a relaxed cafe/diner feel. It feels like stepping into someones kitchen and being served some wonderful home-cooked food. I had a chicken curry wrap and my friend went for the fish curry. Both were great; cheap, authentic, satisfying comfort food. It was a nice size for lunch and so we had enough room for dessert. I'd *definitely* have the gulab jamun with mango ice cream again. Service was maybe a little bit too relaxed and so wouldn't have been great if we were in a rush but given the homely feel I didn't mind too much. I will happily come back to try some more of their offerings.

The decor was nice and the atmosphere peaceful, at least for around 9pm lol Normally I go with some other kind of lamb dish, but wanted to try the fish curry. It was fresh, hot, and flavorful.

Firstly, make sure to bring your own beer/wine, no alcohol served. The naan is wonderful. I had the lamb Saag and the sauce was very nice. Not spicy as advertised, but tasty. Unfortunately the lamb was very tough. I did tell the waiter, and he wanted me to try something else. I honestly just wanted him to know about the lamb. He brought a small chicken dish and it was flavorless. I was really looking forward to a good Indian. They are attentive. But need to work on the spice and flavor.
