Gurkhas Nepalese & Indian Restaurant, Penicuik

★★★★★

“We stumbled upon this Nepalese restaurant on our way to Edinburgh. The restaurant is in first floor accessible by a flight of stairs. The atmosphere is very authentic with lovely Nepalese music ( not loud). The service is great with attentive & friendly staff. We ordered a mix pakoda which were very fresh & tasty served with a delicious dipping sauce. We were sadly disappointed by the Himalayan momos which we had very high expectations. The mains portions were good & the chicken butter masala was the star of the show. Both the sides we ordered - dal tadka & saag aloo were ok. Overall good food at good value. Great service & nice atmosphere.”

“After bouldering, 3 of us decided to go for a meal here. We arrived close to 9:30 pm (almost closing time), so we were going to order take away. Staff were incredibly friendly and invited us to sit in. The service was impeccable, the food was divine and we had a lovely time over there. The food is very reasonably priced and the portions are generous. 10/10, will return for sure!”

“We have been coming to Gurkhas for over three years, it’s the best Indian in the area. The food is excellent, the staff are lovely and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We recently celebrated our anniversary there and they surprised us with a cake. Would definitely recommend.”
