Gurkha Bhansa Ghar — Restaurant in Ashford

The food tasted absolutely great, so why 2 stars? We entered the restaurant and was immediately seated to an un-laid table directly by the door which was constantly being opened and not closed for the entire meal which led to a cold (almost freezing) breeze persistently cutting across our legs, feet and necks, also' the table was squeezed beside a radiator which was so hot that our elbows and legs would scald whenever contact was made. Before our order was placed a quick visit to the unisex toilets was an eye opener as the toilet door was held wide open with two ladies standing and chatting to a third who was seated on the business throne doing business stuff (I'm a man who don't embarrass easily but even I know that ain't quite the right image). Our food was ordered and I retrieved the napkins, etc to lay the table myself. Our starter came and very soon after an adorable child appeared at the table, the child was chatty and tried to get her fingers into our food on several occasions (this random in-house entertainment was repeated throughout the meal). The time between the starter and the main meal felt like an eternity which led to us ordering another starter which then turned up after the main meal. As said, 'the food was exceptionally tasty however, one of our dishes fell short of the expectation, the Chicken Biryani was missing it's boiled eggs and raita as described on the menu. This was addressed with the waiter who assured us that this was because when they cooked the eggs they cracked them open to find that they was raw..! We skipped the offer of new eggs but still did not receive the raita. In fairness, the food that we was served was probably worth +4 stars so we asked about their take away service and menu, we was promptly given two restaurant menus and told to photograph them. Sadly, we will not dining or ordering a take-out from Gaurkha Bhansa. The management of this establishment really ought to look at the restaurant logistics because the food is so good that they could make it something special for the...

I'm updating my previous review, because it's warranted. We have been going to Bhansa Ghar regularly because the food has been great. However, the place has recently transitioned under new management, and with that the food has improved further to another level. This is as of mid-march 2024, momos are perfect, the C-momos are ideally balanced, not too spicy 🔥 but just right. We have discovered the best 'bhel' in Kent so far in the puffed rice starter called Chatpate, which can be tailored to your spice levels. However the Chowmein is exceptional, we had the chicken version, boneless thigh pieces, cooked on high flame that gives the noodles a sear and smoke flavour, and again made to order without the heat for our toddler, but still full of flavour. The new management is also engaging and solicits feedback. In my opinion the best value as well as the best food offering Nepalese restaurant...

Call the restaurant for a delivery as it is mentioned on the Internet only to find out they don't do delivery anymore. Then, I ordered on through the phone for collection in 30 minutes. When I got there for collection, I was pleased that the food was ready for collection. However, when I paid them on cash, they returned me 4 pence less and asked me if that is okay. (I felt like this restaurant asked for tips rather than the customer gave them willingly, so I said that is fine.) The worst experience with the food was cold. Then chill chicken momo was sluggy. Chowmin was cold. Sukuti chapatte only a few bits of actual sukuti in it and very hard to find onion and cucumber and also can't taste any lemon. Alloo- nimkee was delicious out of 4 food I ordered.

It was my first experience with this restaurant, and it will also be the last...
