Usual great food and atmosphere along with the service and reasonable prices. Always a great night and much better than the hassle of Rusholme and parking issues

Food was tasty, but nothing special, a fairly standard menu. However the service was poor, waiters were grumpy, and we'd barely sat down before they were asking to take drinks orders. When we asked for more time, they just loitered and returned 30seconds later.

I booked a table for twelve for a joint work leaving event. A very cold and snowy Wednesday night became a jovial banquet. Plenty of dishes to choose from, never rushed and very prompt drink replacements for the two to three hours sat together.

By far the best Nepalese food in Manchester, the north... and possibly the UK. You owe it to your taste buds. We've been visiting for about 30 years now. Enough said.

Friendly service with a family feel. The food was excellent and we'll definitely return. I'd recommend any of the lamb dishes also can't go wrong with a pint of kingfisher

Food was good but portions were small for the price. The service was awful. It felt as soon as we sat down the waiting staff wanted us to pay and leave so they could get another table in. The whole evening felt rushed and there was no attempt of staff giving any sort of smile or willingness to serve. Absolutely awful

Excellent service and perfect food. This place gets everything right from quality of food, consistency of presentation and flavour and choice of wine. A lot of similar restaurants can do hot spicy dishes well as the GK does but none can present the mild and medium choices with the same unerring skill in the balance of the sauces and cooking of lamb and chicken.

The food and the service was excellent, however the table we were seated at was very small in the corner of what was essentially an empty room and this had a detrimental effect on the overall experience.

It was a really busy evening and the service was very rushed. A pint of beer got knocked over by the waiter who was rushing around too much and one of our party's meals was forgotten about - he had to wait a while. The food is always great quality.

Lovely food as ever. Slow service but they were quite busy I guess. Not the cheapest but worth the money I think. Try the Aloo Chilli if you like a spicy starter it's awesome!

The food was good. Service was fast and polite but not friendly. Experience was marred by the presence of four loud and foul mouthed men on a nearby table. Don’t think we will be returning.

Decent food but terrible service. We were stuck upstairs and forgotten about, it was over an hour before we had starter. The young servers didn't have much of a clue at all leaving piles of dirty plates on tables through the meal.

Best chicken Jalfrezi in Manchester now as it was the last time we visited 30 years ago when it was only a third of its current size. Great food, service spot on, still family run and great value for money. 100yards from Burton Road team station as well!

This restaurant serves excellent food and we've been coming here for years. Can get very busy and the service sometimes suffers as a result. Don't let that put you off though because the food is worth it.

Convivial atmosphere, attentive waiters, reasonable bill, scrumptious food! What more can one ask? Well, one thing. The wine was a disappointment, we chose the S African Shiraz. Not a patch on its Australian counterpart, started rough and had only marginally improved by the end of the bottle. It felt like the sort of bottle you could pick up at a cut-price outlet for £2.99. Those of us drinking it agreed, a £4.99 equivalent from say Aldi or Lidl would be much better and surely at £16.95 the restaurant could afford that slightly reduced profit-margin. It didn't spoil the meal though, which was top-notch.

The mackerel starter was a little burnt and dry and not as well marinated as usual and the lamb in one of the dishes was a little tough but otherwise usual good standard

Great food deco dark and old but the food was lovely. Service was a little too formal unfriendly at times. Busy place. So tables are near each other
