Gurkha — Restaurant in North Devon

I don't generally leave poor reviews as even when food I've had isn't great its never been bad enough to warrant bad feedback. But this place. Well. 1st off the waitress on the bar was lovely. Friendly and approachable. She came and took a drink order almost immediately and explained the self serve buffet. It was a selection of Chinese and Indian. I am absolutely the most unfussy eater. And will always find something. Here it was basically the rice. The meat dishes were honestly revolting. I thought I had chicken korma but not entirely sure. It was basically chicken in double cream and really sickly to swallow. The chicken balls tasted like they were fried in really old oil. And had a taste that u could smell as u chewed. Duck.... I did go back to inspect it as I'm genuinely not convinced it was even duck. The place its self is also quite shabby looking. That part I could have ignored if the food wasn't so diabolical. I was shocked there was a large party of people that seemed satisfied food wise. I mean it's cheap. £12.99 pp I think. But it was revolting. Watery cold and tastless. Mushrooms were edible rice was fine. But none of the meat dishes were even passable. I'm shocked to see 5 star reviews. Actually gobsmacked. I'm not from the area so unsure what the competition is but I would honestly say avoid this place unless desperate and starving. Sad to write this. But...

I feel bad saying this but this was the worst most disgusting place with the most disgusting food I’ve ever been to. It was recommended by quite a few locals but I don’t think they have ever left ilfracombe and tasted real, or nice food or food that’s acceptable to serve. We checked out the menu outside and the selection looked great but there wasn’t barely a single thing off the menu in there. The food was honestly awful awful awful I felt sick it was so bad. Staff seemed lovely but they need to wake up. Would not recommend if you want to stay in good health. Walls and ceilings had damp/mouldy patches and the tables and seating were old and sticky and the glasses were not clean. This was my partners birthday and...

Food was great, me and my brother loved the sweet and sour chicken and the beef in black bean sauce I think it was, bad reviews are misleading, waitress was kind and was quick to bring our drinks and take our drink order. The roof is not “mouldy” or “falling down” it’s merely just water leaks. It’s quite a pleasant atmosphere, fresh food comes out every few minutes and okay selection, there’s ice cream and cake and stuff for after! It’s a nice place and I totally recommend, we did not get sick or get salmonella like it said in one review. It was overall pretty good and enjoyed it! Would go again, and no you don’t pay £37 for a drink. Bad reviews outrageously incorrect. Recommend the chips and beef! And sweet and...
