Gurkha Cafe & Restaurant

Lovely meal created with subtle herbs and spices. Try the carrot desert it's a great way to finish the meal. Our hosts were really attentive and friendly. If I lived locally and not 500 miles away I would be regular.

One of the best Indian meals ever. Butter chicken and sea bass were amazing

We return each time we are visiting from the States. Worth the experience

The food is absolutely fantastic!!! I went back tonight because I could stop thinking about that delicious lamb!

super delicious food and very friendly staff, short waiting times

Great food as always. Service was excellent - friendly and attentive

Very good, central and not too expensive. Very quick service

Great service and the food was excellent, would highly recommend.

Amazing staff and delicious food. Lovely atmosphere with nice traditional music being played. Will definitely return.

Fantastic food and friendly staff! We will absolutely return on our next stay in Edinburgh.

Really like the restaurant and food, but we were seated at the table right at the feont door, which wasn't great.

Good food for a reasonable price. Staff was friendly and quick.

Fantastic restaurant, excellent food, great friendly helpful staff. Would return without hesitation.

Enjoyed the food and the staff are so friendly. Recommended

Excellent place to visit ... delicious food ! Thank you

Das Gurkha bietet sehr gutes, frisch gekochtes und schmackhaftes Essen aus der Indischen und Nepalesischen Küche. Wir lieben das Essen dort. Der Service ist einwandfrei und das Personal sehr freundlich. Wir sind öfters in Edinburgh und gehen jedes Mal dort essen. Wir können das Restaurant gerne weiterempfehlen.

Relaxed atmosphere and the food is fantastic. Staff friendly as always.

This was our first visit here & it won't be the last. Before our booking they realised they were running over so called to inform me & ask would I mind making the booking 15mins later,this I thought was v.thoughtful,once our table became available it was promptly cleared & we were able to be seated. Food was great no long waiting time,staff polite & friendly.

Great tasty food, decent service and good value for money

Great service, great food. Tikka masala best in Edinburgh! Sauces are brilliant too

Food was very good. Service and staff friendly. Good atmosphere

Excellent food and service. We would definitely recommend to friends.

Second visit to The Gurka Cafe, amazing food, very friendly and helpful staff. We were recommended this place and I would have no hesitation about recommending it to others.

Excellent fast and friendly service,highly enjoyable curry. Definitely try the coconut pineapple rice and apricot naan, looking forward to our next visit already so that we can save room for dessert.

Amazing food would come back to Edinburgh just for this place. Great service too would reccomend to anyone , lovely little place and not expensive

Nice enough meal but restaurant looked a little tired. Mushroom bhaji was not the best ever tasted. Staff were friendly and service was good. Good location.

Good selection of dishes from the menu to choose from. The food was delivered hot, well presented and the food was tasty. Good selection of drinks and the ambiance of establishment was ok.

Great food, great staff, went out of their way to accommodate us really made our valentines dinner and we will definitely be back. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic restaurant in heart of Old Town. Amazing food with fantastic choices. Lamb Madras was lovely and spicy but not mouth burning and portions were perfect. Service was superb and as it is fairly small it had a great atmosphere on the Saturday we visited. However, especially if going on a Saturday, I would advise booking as we arrived at 5pm and by 6pm it was almost full. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful food and service. Will be back for sure with the family and others. Chicken dumplings and spiced onions were fabulous along with the butter chicken

Fabulous meal, great service and ambience. A delightful original restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh. We'll be back, and will highly recommend Gurkha to friends and family. Thank you.

Really great food, service, wine. Altogether a brilliant meal and experience. Highly recommend. Very reasonably priced too. Our first visit but won't be our last.

Good food, friendly staff, comfortable clean surroundings and good value for money, I would definitely eat there again and recommend the place to others. Very good.

Great food highly recommend me and my wife loved the food and staff great and helpful we traveled from Glasgow to go hear we will definitely be going back

Not much from outside but makes up with the food. Another fantastic meal... have tried many restaurants but always come back food so fresh staff very attentive.

Good service. Lovely thick consistency and rwally tasty curries. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I would definitely recommend this place to friends. Good value for money

Great little restaurant. Food is excellent and presented with a bit of flare. Also an excellent range of interesting dishes - try the pangasius fish starter or the Gurkha Special ckicken - both excellent.

Awesome meal, everyone enjoyed everyting we ordered. Can’t recommend enough! Service was fantastic and it’s a great location. Madras was the best I’ve ever had.

Great food, excellent vegetarian options, fast and efficient service. We really enjoyed our meal here and would come back again, no question. At busy times, I definitely recommend booking.

Please make a reservation for this restaurant. It's worth it. Friendly personel, very good food at a reasonable price. Restaurant van be round in old town.

Delicious food, reasonable prices and great service in central Edinburgh. Easy booking system. Friendly staff and cosy surroundings. A wider choice of desserts would help with finishing off the meal, although rarely needed as easy to overfill with excellent choices and very tasty starters and mains. Would recommend the Everest beer,

Had a lovely meal, the food is really good well worth the visit, service really good too, will go again when I next visit Edinburgh

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Café Gurkha. Being traditionally Indian eaters, this was our first taste of Nepal. Service was great - having asked for a pause between main and starter, waiter checked with us to ensure we were ready for our main. Loved my garlicky fish and garlic naan.

Really enjoyed the food, all courses were excellent and the service was also pretty quick. Would recommend trying out this restaurant and will most likely return.

Christmas Day curry. Welcoming staff quick service and good food. Good choice for a set menu and good value for money. Highly recommended and would go back

Always excellent food and service at the Gurkha Cafe, my recent visit was no different.

Lovely food. Pleasant staff and good value. Handy and close to the station. Would definitely go back and would recommend a visit. Thanks for helping a family pre Christmas day outing fantastic

Good food and courteous service. Was very busy but we didn’t wait long for order to be taken or food to be served. Would recommend

Have been visiting The Gurkha Cafe for several years, on and off and can honestly state that the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff never changes. The food is beautifully prepared and presented and I wholeheartedly recommend for couples or groups who wish to enjoy Nepalese food or indeed just platefuls of fabulousness!!

Fantastic delicious food, the best Asian dishes I have eaten in a long time, friendly attentive staff and good service - need I say more
