All the dishes we ordered were cooked fresh and as per the order. Service was fast Staff was very respectful and friendly Prices are slightly higher than other restaurants, and mocktails are refreshing The location of the restaurant is the game changer here.
Our first time at Gorkha was a true 5 star experience. Food: 5/5. We ordered the fish tikka, chilli momos, and samosas to start. All were very tasty, especially the fish tikka and the coriander sauce it came with. We then had the goat biryani, Gorkha special chicken, lamb khadai, fish madras, and prawn masala. Everything was fantastic, and the portion sizes were very good for the price. The food also came out very quickly which was awesome. They don't skimp on the free rice here either, which is always great to see. The naans were also super fresh and tasty. Service: 5/5. From the moment we walked in, we were well taken care of by the staff. They were very accommodating to my mum's dietary requirements, and very attentive to everyone's needs even though the restaurant was almost full. Special shout out to our waiter Elmer who went above and beyond for customer service. The restaurant is located right on the beach front so the views are amazing too. Would recommend Gorkha to everyone, and I'm already looking forward to the next visit!
My girl friends and I decided to have our girls night out at Gorkha (it was highly recommended by my other friends). We received a very warm welcom by Elmer. He service was amazing. He even sang for us. The food was so yummy. We did not even have a chance to take photos. Elmer gave us a beautiful dessert on the house and we sang happy birthday to all of us. We enjoyed our evening fully. Will definitely go back again. Thank you Elmer again. You are the best.
Hands down, one of the best Indian/Nepalese restaurants! It's our go-to spot, and we always bring friends and family to try it. We've been here numerous times, and the food is always delicious, with fast, efficient, and friendly service. Make sure to book a reservation because it's always packed, and people keep coming even late at night! Some must-try dishes: the Fish Tikka—trust me, get the full portion! It's incredibly soft, tender, and bursting with flavor. The Biryani is rich and aromatic, and the Ghorka Special Curry is amazing too!
Right alongside the beach, perfect for a walk. Tandoori chicken had so much flavour and so tender. Lamb biryani was top notch and finally the Lamb rogan Josh was sweet and lacked the usual cardamom flavour but still a good curry. Service was excellent.
