Staying in Barnstaple during a walking holiday and visited the Gurkha Restaurant. We were made very welcome and having selected from the extensive menu enjoyed an excellent meal with great service. The chef was very talented and his cuisine was very tasty, well presented and...at a reasonable price. Recommended.

After we have read so many great critikens and are new in the opposite, we thought we would treat ourselves with a farewell of gurkha. my man had the Himalaya lamb he thought was delicious. dissapointingly, I had the swadiloo chicken, that was one of the worst chicken curries I've ever eaten. the huh was swedish and very cheap, and the soss was like tomatensuppe. unfortunately we will not come back to visit again. the garlic nan was nice. when my man had enjoyed his star.

The meal was excellent and the staff was very polite. The restaurant was extremely busy. We dined in for dinner and the price per person was £20–30. The food and service both received a rating of 5, while the atmosphere was rated a 4.
