No wait (Thursday evening) and fast service once seated. Chili Chicken and Dal Makhani were so good. Goat Biryani was tasty and portions were big. read more

Great experience. Simple decor, but amazingly delicious food at reasonable prices with friendly services. All the dishes were well prepared and accompanied by sauces that enhanced the flavors. But do need to watch for hidden peppers. It's in a strip mall and there was plenty of parking when we went. read more

2.5 stars Found this place in a strip mall and it looked interesting. Food is a bit pricey . Had the wings which were lacking a killer sauce and tasted of freezer burn. Garlic naan was nice as was the shrimp curry. Probably won't be back. read more

This was my family's first time at the Gurkha Kitchen. I have been wanting to try it for some time now. We ordered butter chicken and chicken biryani for the kids. My wife and shared a chicken thali. We were worried if the butter chicken would be too spicy however, it was mild, buttery, tender and above all tasty. Chicken Biryani portion was very generous and was just right. Chicken thali was an experience was lots of different taste and texture. We had a wonderful meal and will look forward exploring other menus. read more

What a delicious lunch! I brought my parents to Gurkha and we enjoyed everything. Service was very friendly and I learned this location is the original Gurkha Kitchen. We ordered a variety of dishes to share-Chicken Momos, Goat Curry, Thalli set chicken and garlic naan. Loved all the flavors. The momos were filled with tender ground chicken in a delicate wrap and served with a curry dipping sauce. The goat curry was very tender and savory. My parents especially loved this dish over rice. I loved the Thalli set which is served with a variety of sides. The dal (black lentils) and the sautéed veggies were so good and the restaurant offers free refills! The chicken (bone in) curry was flavorful. The garlic naan was soft and fresh. Perfect for all the sauces. Delicious and I'll definitely be back! read more

Dining in may have provided a better experience. We were so enamored with the San Ramon location last night, we went to try the Sunnyvale location since we were in the area. The servers were friendly and brought us complimentary chai tea while we waited for our food. The restaurant was smaller and more decorative than the San Ramon restaurant. We ordered our food to go and were slightly disappointed, partly because our bag tipped over on the way home and the tandoori chicken sauce got over every container and inside the bag. The chicken momos were shaped more like Chinese dumplings/Japanese gyozas instead of the unique little volcanos we had last night. They were still delicious. The tandoori chicken was not as juicy since we lost a lot of the sauce. We tried the lamb biryani. It was spicy and good. Definitely use the yogurt sauce they serve with it. Loved all the big chunks of lamb. We will go to the restaurant again and dine in to get the full experience. read more

Was not busy on the weekday for lunch so quick ordering & food came quickly. The chicken momo is super juicy! Def taste the various spices but was not too spicy and the sauce was really good. The chick thali brought back the taste of Nepal and was super good. I was secretly hoping the waiter would come around with the caddy for free refills but we're on the states so I'll keep the wishful thinking! read more

Their service is great. Ambience is cozy filled with Nepalese decor. We ordered a lot of things, but my favorite is their thakali thali (goat, veg, chicken) - Nepali Approved! I order it often. WaiWai sadheko is more like WaiWai chatpate, but it's yummy - order it. Their momo is not that good. read more

Picked this spot to have a nice romantic lunch with hubby. We biked over and were promptly seated. Ordered: Goat thali: hubby said this was really good and would order again. I tried the non goat portions and everything was tasty! Paneer tikka masala: 4/5 sauce was good and paneer was good too. Garlic naan: 5/5 yum! Friendly service. It did take a while for our food to be served but we weren't a big rush. read more

We saw this next to "new india bazar" when we visited on the weekend for some last minute grocery shopping. It has a big parking lot right outside. It's open till late. Then we saw it "open" on yelp late last night on "uber eats" past 9 pm also and giving out promotions like "free item over $30" and "buy 1, get 1 free" on butter chicken, channa, gurkha chicken. So we decided to give it a try. In $41, we got: - chicken momos (regular-medium spicy) - 3/5 the mixture was ok but shell was slightly more doughy for me if i compare it to Everest momo food truck. I wish they gave the chili hot sauce for dipping on the side like most momo places. Their orange sauce was lame. Reducing 1 star for sauce :( - butter chicken 4/5 - it was buy 1 get 1 free which was a good deal. It was more tangy than most places but i think it showed it had less processed puree. It did taste better today as leftovers with home made rotis. - fried rice veggie 3/5 - a full size portion of it came free when you order for more than $30. It was dry for me but maybe if you order a Manchurian dish it will pair well read more

We were a bunch of friends searching for a good authentic restaurant in San Francisco, but someone recommended go to Sunnyvale. Even though it was a bit far, we decided to try Gorkha Kitchen--and it was absolutely worth it! The food was amazing, and we were all so happy with our experience. Highly recommend everyone to give this place a try! read more

Stopped into this restaurant after binging a bunch of Pani Puri videos--had to try it for myself. Pani Puri: super fun and fresh; crisp shells, tangy water, and a great kick. A bit too sour for me but quite refreshing. The dining room is spacious and super clean, with unique wall decor and lots of certificates. We also got the buffalo platter--the side salad was surprisingly good, and the buffalo had that savory, jerky-like chew I love. The chicken tikka pizza came loaded with cheese. Very rich and tasty :P Overall, good flavors, a clean space, and welcoming vibes. I'd recommend it. read more

Overall pleased with our meal and quantity was spectacular. We got the chow mein, chicken Manchurian, chili paneer, the soup momos (Amazing) and pani puri, and cottage cheese spinach pizza. Didn't know about quantity but between the three of us it was more than enough and good for next day too. Everything tasted good and I particularly enjoyed the soup momos. That itself is a meal for me and I loved it. The service was very good and quick. We were only two of another customers in the place on a Monday so it wasn't too busy. But I can imagine this place being packed over the weekend. The ambience was simple and lot of lovely pictures of food and good Nepalese music was playing. Happy to come back here anytime again. read more

This review is based on their vegetarian food only. Waited almost 2 years to go try their food n it wasn't what I expected. Over price food items which wasn't worth it. 18$ for an order on paneer tikka masala that tasted like came out of a can. I know what is fresh food and what isn't. The only thing that was ok was the chili veg momo n garlic nan. read more

Awesome food and service. We tried the chicken moms, lamb seek kebab and Ajoine Fish. All of them taste great.

We have been to Gurkha kitchen in San Ramon and we love their food. This location has a different menu choices but no difference in their quality and taste. Kids lived their momos and butter chicken. We also ordered gobhi Manchurian and it was amazing. Their Goat curry and butter chicken is our staple. Highly recommended place for anyone who wants to try authentic Indian food. P. S. We didn't try anything from the Nepali menu read more

Had a chance to try Gurkha Kitchen and this was a great experience! If you are craving momos, Indo-Chinese food, or Butter chicken, this place has it all. The hubs and I were craving some yummy food for a Sunday dinner, and we spotted this on Uber Eats. We ended up placing a pickup order and it was great! The ambiance of this place is cute, it's on the dimmer side, but I liked the interior. Service was quick as when we went for pickup, our food was ready. For food we ordered and tried: * Butter Chicken - this was delicious - the sauce was more on the tomatoey side, which the husband loved - he can't wait to get more * Veggie fried rice - this was the indochinese version and was delicious. This came with plenty of veggies and the flavor of the rice was very flavorful itself *Chicken Momo's - this was also delicious and quite juicy. The sauce the momos came with was awesome and we thoroughly enjoyed. This came with 8 pieces Overall, great experience and can't wait to go to try more! read more

I highly recommend the goat curry and dal tadka. Actually, everything in these pictures is delicious. The curry and dal are must tries though! The green chutney that comes with the pokora is so flavorful and pairs perfectly with the fish. The cauliflower has an amazing soy-garlic sauce that's really good. The service is great and our water cups were constantly being filled. I like how there are pictures of the food around the restaurant and a chef's special menu to choose from. The music is nice and it feels comfortable and clean to dine here. I'll be back! read more

Food was delicious and service was excellent! We came around 9:45pm on a Friday night. We sat right away, ordered right away, and ate right away. Their butter chicken is excellent! I think they use dark meat chicken which makes the chicken super juicy. My husband got the tikka masala and he liked it very much. There is a lot of sauce so rice or lots of naan is a good idea. And the garlic naan is delicious! We also got the Taj Mahal lager, and Nepal Ice beer. They were very refreshing and tasty. Perfect pairing :) We will definitely be coming back. I also like that they are open late. read more

I ate three dishes here that made me dream about coming back just to have them again. The "Chicken C Momo"? DELICIOUS. Literally the juiciest dumplings with the most comforting spicy garlic sauce and chopped veggies together. When these arrived at my table, the momos were CRISP even with the saucy glaze they were covered in. I was mesmerized by its beauty and the blend of textures. It's something I want to have every time I'm feeling down in life because eating these felt like I was being lifted up and hugged. The "Pahadi Chicken Tikka Kabab" was excellently spiced. Paired with the "Garlic Naan" and you have a winning duo. The chicken was soft and tender, easy to pull apart. The bread had literal minced garlic pieces and was so soft and hot. I can't tell you the number of times I've ordered garlic naan and it just comes out as buttered bread with garlic flavor. This naan here was the real deal y'all. The only thing I didn't like was the "Thakali Thali Goat". The goat was great but the veg dishes were a bit lacking. Since the menu labels the contents with "veg of the day" it'll probably be a hit or a miss depending on what you like. There's also plentyyyy of seating for you and loved ones, heck, an entire family of 8+ walked in for a casual dinner when I ate here. And the highlight of this place? Definitely the foreign music videos that play on the TV. My company and I enjoyed seeing that cultural touch on top of all the beautiful decorations surrounding the space. read more

Ordered the butter chicken and the lamb and the Gobi Manchurian. The food here is so freaking amazing. Everything from the creaminess of the butter chicken to the spices in the lamb. I would come back here in a heartbeat. There's so much to love about this restaurant. I hope I can try other things like the momo's read more

I had their veggie chowmein for takeout, it was fantastic. The menu has plenty of vegan options, although they are not labelled. I emailed to ask and I am told the vegan options are: mixed mass tarkari, channa masala, veg chowmein, dal tadka, and aloo bodi tama. The veg momos are not vegan. The portion size for the chowmein was very large, enough for two meals. Very reasonably priced as well. read more

Came in with my family to try Nepalese food for my b-day extravaganza and loved it! The experience was exotic and incredible! It was not busy on the evening we came. I liked the quietness and privacy. Ordered vegetarian Momo, fish curry Nepalese style, Thali, chicken curry and goat curry. The food was delicious! Every dish was uniquely prepared with great care. The plate was served with either rice or naan. The garlicky naan was exceptional! Exactly how I like and how it should be. My curry fish was mild with a tang of spices, from the result of tempering with pepper, etc. Authentic and tasty. Tried a bit rice with curry goat, the taste was inviting! I figured it was the curry sauce that did the magic. By just looking at my son's Nepalese Thali, I already knew it was good. My intuition is always right. That's the dish I am going to try next time. My first time trying Nepalese food, it's more agreeable to my palate as it's milder. Kudos to the chef who knows how to cook yummy food. :) Service was friendly and attentive. The waitress kept things coming up and did her job very well. Interior was culturally decorated with Nepalese landmark paintings and artifacts. Clean, simple and elegant. The vibe was calming, gentle and authentic. I enjoyed the atmosphere. This restaurant has the highest rating among all other locations and there must be a reason why. Will return and highly recommend it! read more

Gurkha chicken was excellent! Service was excellent! My new go to spot for Indian. I look forward to trying more options on the menu.

Came in late from LA. Found the place on yelp. Great food. Friendly staff. Padahi chicken was recommended to me and it was amazing. Naan was light and warm. It really hit the spot after all the travel. The wine was also a very generous pour. I will definitely return next time I'm in the area. read more

My husband is Nepali and this is our whole family's go-to spot. We frequent Gurkha Kitchen at least once a month -- both in the restaurant and also for takeout. Everything on their menu is great and authentic. We always order a few servings of chicken and buff johl momos. We particularly love the salty/sour sauce that the johl momos come with. We've also tried their Goat Curry, Wai Wai Sadeko, Thakali Thali Goat, and Khasi ko Sekuwa. All delicious! Their mango lassi is also quite delicious and we always grab at least one each time we visit. Staff is always friendly and the food is consistently good. Definitely recommend! read more

Stumbled upon this Nepalese restaurant and glad that we did. The ambience is perfect for a cute date with anyone. The service was quick and immediately assisted. We asked for recommendations and ordered based on it. The Dumplings were so tasty. Piping hot with the mom chutney. Couldn't wait to take a picture but took a photo of Manchurian and Veg Chowmein. One star less for Manchurian since the gravy was soo sour. The Manchurian balls were yummy. Would definitely recommend this place if you are craving indochinese :) read more
