GURKHA DURBAR NEPALESE RESTAURANT — Restaurant in San Javier

Not sure about the food because we have not eaten yet....but either way will not be back...6.30 restaurant empty....we sat at a nice table by the window getting full effect of the air con...we where told the table is for 4 people,,when I pointed out the restaurant was empty we where told it didn't matter.

We are 2 big lads so would have appreciated some understanding.

It's our first time here but regardless of the food we won't be back..

They may regret there attitude when winter comes.... we have a company here and would have bought our clients and suppliers

But not now..

As a fair reviewer and restaraunr and hotel owner it is important that I give a clear review..

I choose to edit my review and to clarify some points in fairness to people reading reviews.

Firstly I should have added that the table we sat at was apperantly booked for 8pm...even when we said we would vacate the table by 7.30 the owner still refused to allow us to use the table.....He also told us that all the larger tables had been reserved...This proved not to be true as a family walked into the restaraunr who hadn't booked and got a table.

People reading this must think it's rather petty but I can't ever remember being refused a table that wasn't needed for nearly 2 hours.

Can I also add that I find the owners response to the review rather childish, sarcastic and speaks volumes about his attitude.

Now the positives. the lamb Madras was up there with the very best I've had anywhere the lamb was succulent and tender, and I have been eating curries for over 50 years and have actually worked in an Indian restaurant in the UK.

The pilau rice was bland and when I was asked about my meal I did mention that I thought the rice needed so flavouring,, cardamon, aniseed and some methi would help..

If only we could go back and sit at a table that was comfortable for us to sit at.

But I'm sure we wouldn't be allowed to sit where we would like,,,

But with the owners attitude I'm sure I'm not...

We've been here for week now and decided to try this place as smelt nice when we've walked past , we just turned up not knowing u had to book but he did find a table for us (3 adults 2 kids) .this was at around 9:30 Drinks order taken quickly and poppadoms brought out this was at 10pm , ,and still our order not taken We finished our poppadoms and still no order taken for starters or main meal Eventually order taken ,we got our starter which looked OK salad was a bit sad looking tho, bhaji was nice ,we watched other tables be served but still no sign of ours ,I asked the young girl and suddenly got ours ,looked OK and tasted OK but I must say I've had better while in Spain and the UK .a table of 10 behind us got their food before us yet came in after . The manager I presume he was came over said sorry for wait as busy ,yes I suppose it was but waiting 2 hours is ridiculous, I think u need more waiting staff on a weekend maybe get things done quicker Won't...

To be honest we have not eaten....we 12 couples all enjoying our hoiday but not always choosing to eat together... We where flabbergasted to read that when you dine in this restaraunt you cant choose to eat where you want.

When I read the review I thought there must be something more to this but I called the restaraunt and told them I was cominh with my husband but would like to have a larger table as my husband is quite a large man.....I was told rudely we could only have a table for 2' even though I wanted to book for 6'pm.

All our group wouod have dined there at least once and we had planned to go one night as a group of 24...

I can tell the owner no one from our group will be visiting this restaraunt.

We are all from Asian background or married into it. We normally pride ourselves for our hospitality '''what a huge dissapoinment you are ..The Owner.

Having just read some other reviews going back in time it seems the owner has a...
