Gurkha Curry Lounge/ Nepalese Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in East Staffordshire

Myself and my Partner booked online, but when we got to the restaurant they hadn’t received our booking, so will call next time. Despite this, we were seated within one minute of entering the restaurant. The restaurant is clean, spacious and feels atmospheric.

There were three members of staff working the floor, but they were all calm, collected and happy to be there. Truly service with a smile. Our glasses were never empty, they couldn’t do enough for us. We were bought out poppadoms and a pickle tray with our drinks, provided with a hot wash towel to wash our hands and a napkin to put on our laps. Little touches like this made the experience so lovely- although, I was shocked at first because I’ve never received such good service!

Our curries came- I’m pregnant so I had to play it safe with the spice, but my butter chicken was gorgeous and the chicken came sliced and marinated, not in dry chunks which is normally the case. I was really impressed by this and for the first time in my pregnancy I enjoyed chicken again! So thank you. My partner went for the Lamb Rogan, which he said was the best curry he has ever tasted. He also had keema naan, which he said was fresh and soft, with plenty of flavour. We shared a side of Bombay Aloo, which is our favourite side. At £4.95 it’s also the cheapest we have found this dish in the area, but it was the most delicious version we have tried.

While we ate, there was plenty of privacy to enjoy the meal whilst service remained. When my partner finished his pint of cobra, the waiter asked if he would like a top up. Quick, simple, effective but non disruptive which we appreciated. After our empty dishes were collected, we were given little porcelain plates which a member of staff poured hot water on from a little tea pot. Inside, a little hot cloth rose up which was a really fascinating gesture we were both impressed by. We were given dessert menus and although they looked tempting, we were so full up.

We will definitely be returning and will be singing your praises. Thank you so much to the staff at Gurkha, you hosted a brilliant evening for us and we felt very...

Oct 2017 - I have never rated a restaurant before but I felt compelled to do so after staying an evening in Burton Upon Trent on a business trip, hopefully one of many as I intend to re-visit this fabulous restaurant. The service was impeccable, the staff were polite from start to finish, and the food was incredible. I have eaten in many good quality Indian restaurants and this one is up there with the best. Try the Everest Beer if you're a lager drinker, not my usual preference, it has a slight sweetness that complemented the food. 5+ ☺

Update.. Dec 2017 - Visited again, like I said I would when staying in Burton again. Food and service just as good as my last visit. Still 5+ for me.. ☺ However I must try something different on the menu next time I visit, difficult when you really enjoy particular dishes eaten...

If we could leave 6 stars, we would!

This place was incredible. We called up and got a reservation for half an hour later. The restaurant is beautiful, simply stunning the decor was modern and welcoming. The service was spot on, friendly, and accommodating. When we placed our order, we wanted to make a few changes to our dishes, which your waiter serving us made no issue of at all. Our glasses were never empty, very attentive staff. They made our experience very enjoyable

The food arrived quickly and was of the highest quality! The taste was sensational. The presentation of all the dishes was perfect, and the portion sizes were very large.

Would highly recommend this place to everybody, and we will certainly be making a return visit. It was a gorgeous night out with the...
