Gurkha Chef Restaurant

Great food, very good staff and enjoyed an authentic Gurkha curry, it’s been a few years. Already planning my next visit. The restaurant looks like it is in someone’s front room but is very nice.

Cozy place on the main road in town. Parked around the corner. Promptly greeted and seated. Many vegetarian options. The server brought out the crispy Papadum, this one a little different in taste. It comes with 4 dipping sauces. I liked the sweet one and the diced onion mix. The others not as much.
We ordered garlic Naan, white rice. I ordered the fried breaded potato appetizer, it was quite good. For an entrée I selected the vegetarian garbanzo bean dish which was supposed to be hot. I did not think it was very spicy at all, but it was tasty anyway. My friend ordered the lamb dumplings for appetizers which he said we quite good and the lamb dish for an entrée. His dish was VERY hot. I sampled the sauce and veggies and it was very tasteful and spicy.
We drank the Ghurka beer.
Service was top notch.

Great food and service. Will eat here the next time I am in town.

Always good service and the food is freshly cooked and good too.
Not quite as spicy as other Indian restaurants though very tasty.

The kalo dahl and katmandu kurkhura (chicken n aubergine) are always fantastic. They can go a little on the hot side, but lovely welcome. So glad they’re in Newbury.

Undoubtedly Newbury’s premier curry house. Friendly, reasonably priced (I can’t say I noticed the «Gucci» lager other reviewers picked out), and with excellent food — I’d definitely encourage ordering Gurkhali dishes rather than the «indian» staples.

Worked in Newbury for a month and was at Gurkha Chef about ¹⁄₃ of the time. The food has great taste and the staff is great. My wife and kids also were fans. This place was better than any of the other Indian restaurants we went to.

We went out expecting this to be an Indian resturant and found it to be a Nepalese restaurant. We ordered several dishes and enjoyed everything that we had.

very good, friendly welcome and service. Food was excellent, didn’t know how long I was waiting, chatting away and food appeared. Empty plates were taken immediatly. only down side was price of drinks. Really worth a visit!

Lessons learned the hard way are always the lessons that are ingrained the deepest.
Freezing cold out?
Hmm, I bet if I eat the HOTTEST curry this place has to offer, it’ll totally warm me up.
Nope.
Not at all.
Well, except for the next morning that is.
Sweet sweet sweet Jesus.
Anyways, Gurkha is one of my staples when I am in town and well worth a visit.
Flamethrower.
