Royal Gurkha Nepalese and Indian Restaurant in Bedford — Restaurant in England

Food was alright but not worth the amount you're paying as it isn't authentic. Tastes good but if you know your different cuisines this is nowhere close to authentic Nepalese or Indian food. Promises authenticity but I can guarantee you there are more authentic Indian and Nepalese restaurants in Bedford!

Staff came round multiple times asking if we wanted more drinks even if our glasses were still clearly full...not too sure what that was about. It was different staff everytime so it happened a lot as there wasn't any communication between them what tables had been approached. Most places I've been to have a single waiter assigned to a table and if the table needs anything additional it's the responsibility of the table guests to signal the waiter and request for it. It did get quite bothersome at some point being interrupted mid conversation and mid dining to be asked if we wanted more drinks. We also had someone at our table that eats slower than the rest of us so takes more time than the rest of the table but staff kept coming round to ask if she was done so they could take the plate away when she still had food on her plate and was still holding her cutlery signifying she was still eating. Happened several times to a point she could no longer enjoy her food and just gave the plate away to avoid being asked anymore. Due to frustration she may have handed over the plate a bit aggressively (to whomever the waiter was, she realised and apologised on the spot for this and I'd like to apologise once again on her behalf).

The staff are quite young but lovely and have potential. I think just a bit more training from management would go a long way to make...

We have been to this restaurant with friends before but last Saturday it was just two of us. They took us to a table for two which was right next to a table of 8 with small children. We asked for a more quiet table but were told the only tables available were for four so we could not have one. I pointed out there were three tables set for four with just couples sat at them. We were told they may be waiting for friends!! We asked again but we're told sorry no,so we said we would go to another restaurant to which the guy said it's Saturday...you won't find any. Please,come on,this is Tavistok street which is packed with decent restaurants. Then, two separate couples who came in after us were given tables set for four!! Is this because we complained?? Then they gave us a table that was set for four. This was a bad start to our evening however I ordered a whisky with a splash of lemonade and lots of ice but in a tumbler. It arrived in a tall glass. We ordered our food and our first course took ,35 minutes during which time one of the waitresses was continually running,not walking from our floor up to the higher level!! Everything we had was delicious,but sadly the evening was already spoiled for us so...a dissapointing evening,we will try again but next time with friends!! Just to add that we explained all of this to the manager who was introducing himself to the customers and...

My friend and I dined at the Royal Gurkha Nepalese restaurant last night for the first time. Having dined at the Diya Royal Nepalese restaurant in Kempston before, I was intrigued to see how the Royal Gurkha compared to Diya Royal. In my opinion the standard of service and quality of food at the Royal Gurkha is good, however it just think in my humble opinion that Diya Royal has a slight edge based on ambiance, portion sizes and depth of flavour. This is not to say the Royal Gurkha isn't worth a visit, as It definitely is. The menu consists of a number of wide and varied dishes from traditional Nepalese cuisine. You must try the chilli chicken starter, which is a big triumph!! Or try the mutton chilli momo which is equally as tasty. The restaurant is nicely decorated and spaced out without you feeling cramped or squashed in. The staff are friendly and attentive and the prices are reasonable considering the current financial climate. If your looking to try traditional Nepalese cuisine then either the Royal Gurkha or the Diya Royal kempston are certainly well...
