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.

However, despite its odd location I've visited twice and both times it was packed. The food is not the Indian that everyone knows and loves. Gone are the kormas, tikka masalas and vindaloos, replaced instead with popular traditional Indian dishes cooked from scratch by the chefs. A big favourite is the butter chicken, and I've also really enjoyed a lentil daal. The food is light and full of flavour. Portion sizes are not enormous, but they are perfect to fill a hungry tummy. Garlic naan breads are freshly baked and taste wonderful, and rice is fluffy and nomtastic. Service is also good. Maybe a bit too good actually, as waiters frequently pop over to ask if your meal is okay. One waiter made the comment that chefs will prepare any meal that you ask for if the menu isn't to your taste and you just can't go without a balti. It looks like SLK is happy to bend over backwards for its customers, and this, coupled with a really decent curry, is probably why it's so busy!

Good news the spice lounge has been all done up and the time of the rainbow (what it used to be called) is long gone. The surroundings are modern, the place is huge and caters for functions as well as small tables. I have been a couple times and food has always been nice, the menu could do with a little bit more description as if you are not familiar with Indian food you aren't really sure what you are ordering. Staff there can be a bit mix, all nice especially if you get to meet the owner, a very friendly bubbly man. Though last time we went there although the place was unusually quiet we were received with noisy hoovering (it was 1pm) and a bored waitress who took ages to attend to us despite us being the only one in... Overall i will come back as it is well priced, convenient and nice.

The place is popular with both locals and tourists alike, so reservations are a MUST.

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.

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.
