We were recommended to try the Himalayan Dine In. What a great recommendation! The service was great as was the food. If I lived in Airdrie, I'd be a regular. I wish I recalled the host's name as he was fabulous and really made us feel at home. He patiently walked us through Nepalese and North Indian options. We all had something different and all were very happy with our choices.

I was browsing JustEat when, before I knew it, I'd added the set meal for two to my basket and hit order. Woops. I ordered at 6.45pm and our food arrived by 7.30pm which was perfect. The set meal for two includes: 2 poppadoms & spice onion and then you choose your starter from vegetable pakora, chicken pakora or chicken chaat plus two curries and two sides. We got chicken chasni and chicken tandoori masala as well as pilau rice and naan bread. The driver got a little lost but phoned us for directions so that wasn't an issue. I was really impressed with the food and can't fault it - everything was really fresh and delicious. Personally I'm not a huge chasni fan but Graeme really liked that, and there was a tonne of food so we had leftovers for lunch today. All up, it cost around £20 including delivery and I would definitely order from here again.

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.

The food itself was extremely tasty (I had the Bengal King Prawns which were marinated in all sorts of spices and then cooked in the tandoori oven, they were gorgeous). But I went there feeling all excited about trying a new 'cuisine' that I'd never had before, and left feeling that there are a lot of Indian restaurants much closer to where I live that serve the vast majrity of the same dishes - almost as if they're just using it as a gimmick. Aside from that, there really isn't anything you can fault this place on. Despite my whingeing I still picked up a takeaway menu on my way out. Although the food might be very similar to a lot of other restaurants in the area, their prices are definitely the best.

I've been here a few times with some friends in my second year of uni and every time we've left stuffed with Nepalese food and content with the whole experience. The menu has a wide range of meat, poultry and vegetarian dishes, all of wich are authentic to Nepal and have their own unique blend of spices. The last time I was in I went for the lamb gurkhali khasi which is a traditional dish of the region and tasted amazing. With boiled rice, a naan bread and drink the whole meal came to tenner which we all throught was great value for money. I'll hopefully come here again soon as its service, food and atmosphere are all faultless.

Coming from the same region myself, I naturally connect with Nepalese food and am always eager to try authentic dishes whenever I get the chance... Seems, it is very popular, and The Khukuri has been an Edinburgh favorite for almost twenty years Nepalese food is often considered a combination of ingredients, flavors and cooking styles of a variety of cultures, including India. We ordered- Momo Jhol: never leave a chance to have momo at an authentic Nepalese joint. And it did not disappoint after all - 4/5 * Chicken Sekuwa: but it did. I know what sekuwa is, and it was far from that. Ofcourse I asked the serverbut the response was the usual, that We've adapted it to suit local tastes.- 2/5 * Lamb Biryani: not the biryani you guys would expect, it's more of lamb curry with rice Ofcourse, I was expecting more in terms of food taste, but overall owner's warmth, quick service,and even every server is there to help you, doesn't matter that table belongs to him/her or not Feel like home Food - 3/5 Overall - 4/5

On reading the previous reviews it seems to be a bit of a mixed bag for The Wee Gurkha. Having been…read moreone of the few people to escape East Kilbride, and as of yet not end up back, The Wee Gurkha was somewhere that had never been on my radar. We had booked for an early dinner on a Saturday night and although it was initially quiet it soon busied up as we ate. The menu is fairly extensive with a mix of your standard Indian curry dishes and a smattering of more unusual Nepalese fair. Always a group for trying new things the £17.95 pp taster menu seemed a winner. Where for each twosome you get two starters, 3 mains (of a slightly smaller portion), one bread and one rice. Of the starters the fish pakora and Nepalese chicken wings especially stood out, one soft and spicy with the other sweet and sticky with a gentle heat similar to a chaat. The mains of which we had six were all tasty with the Sherpa Curry being a particular highlight whilst it was nice to have Goat as a menu option something that you don't see very often. We had also asked for a couple of recommendations and both the Chilli Paneer and Bhojpuri Curry were solid additions to our meal. The peshwari nan was on point and the rice was, well rice. The service was efficient, perhaps aided by the time we dined as there was lots of waiting staff about. It can be a bit odd people walking through to pick up their takeaways but the vibe was nice and relaxed. For a place the size of East Kilbride their really is a dearth of good quality restaurants, for me this is one of them perhaps emphasised by the conversation had at fives the following night where a couple of us discussed how good our dinner was the night before. Good work!

Unfortunately things started going wrong straight away. After arriving on time, we had the corner of the room, which we couldn't see, pointed to us and something uttered. Not sure what that meant, we waited around another minute or so till we were told the rest of our party were already at the table. We were still not shown to the table. Drinks order was taken quickly, however when it came a few items were missing. Another 20 minutes (30 minutes into the experience) went and we were able to order our food, and enquire as to the whereabouts of the extra drinks which were ordered but didn't come. 40 minutes later the starters came out. Well, only 4 out of 8 starters came out. Apparently the other 4 orders weren't even taken as they had to be ordered fresh, and took another 15 minutes to arrive which isn't great seeing it was half the order. Alarm bells were now ringing very loudly and some of the party wanted to leave. Putting this into context, I would say the restaurant (a Saturday night) was around 1/4-1/3 capacity. Apparently one member of staff hadn't turned up - either they have super powers or something really isn't right here. When the rest of the starters arrived, long after the original batch had been eaten, another drinks order was taken - with the original drinks mentioned above still not at the table. This led to one of our party leaving and buying his own soft drinks from a local shop. The manager did come and apologise about the wait, giving us some free popadoms. He explained they had been very busy on takeaway. Why on earth would you prioritise takeaway over those paying to sit in your restaurant? Why not tell people no more orders? I now felt like I was on an episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. If this wasn't bad enough it took almost 45 minutes to get our mains, at least with only one rice missing this time! The food itself, I thought was really good although I would not pay extra for the goat curry which was a bit fatty. The food quality is the only thing stopping this being a 1 star review. The fact I've only used one sentence to describe the food shows what sort of an experience this was. I do not think any of us will be back.
