The Gurkhas Crieff — Restaurant in Scotland

Absolutely fantastic restaurant.

My partner and I arrived in Crieff quite late on a Sunday and after settling into our air BnB were struggling to find somewhere to sit in for food - we received several recommendations from locals for The Ghurka's.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was so chill - a lovely relaxed and spacious vibe, with some chilled blues playing. Our server was very welcoming and friendly, and we ordered some vegetable samosa and mushroom pakora to start - both of which were delicious but particularly the pakora was exquisite, a lovely texture, the perfect consistency and a full rich flavour. Such a simple dish done so well just set us up so nicely.

Then we ordered the King Prawn Korma and the Butter Chicken - both of which were absolutely phenomenal. Both relatively mild dishes, but still so full of flavour and surprisingly sweet and delicious. The king prawns were perfectly cooked, firm yet soft, and the chicken was beautifully cooked and seasoned. The sauces felt more authentic than any we have tried. And the side of palak paneer was the perfect accompaniment, along with the crispy and buttery garlic naan.

Overall a wonderful welcome to crieff and highly exceeded the already glowing recommendation - the food was delectable and the presentation was lovely. Would definitely recommend that anyone visiting sits in - we will...

We had a fantastic evening at The Gurkhas in Crieff. We were a large party of 16, and despite the restaurant being busy with other tables and takeaway orders, the service was absolutely outstanding, made even more impressive by the fact that it was all handled by a single front-of-house staff member.

The solo waiter was calm, attentive, and incredibly efficient. He managed every detail with professionalism and warmth, never once seeming flustered despite the pressure. Truly a credit to the restaurant!

As always, the food was exceptional, some of the best Indian and Nepalese cuisine we’ve had in the area (or anywhere, for that matter). Every dish was full of flavour, beautifully cooked, and served piping hot. From the starters to the curries and sides, everything was faultless.

We absolutely love this place, it never disappoints and continues to be one of our favourites. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Crieff or passing...

It was our 28th wedding anniversary so was looking for something nice.

First time here. We hadn't booked so headed there at opening time on a Saturday evening. We were the only ones dining but the takeaway service was busy.

I had Seekh Kebab to start and it's probably the biggest Seekh I've ever had. It was lovely too. Wife had Onion Bhajis and they hit the mark as well.

Mains were Prawn Dhansak and Lamb Chilli Dry Fry. Both beautiful and the Lamb was anything but dry. Wonderfully tender bits of lamb and so many of them, I reckoned about 15. Pilau rice to accompany, Tarka Dhal on the side and a garlic and cheese naan and a roti.

Pleasant staff and polite service. Pretty decently priced to boot.

All in all a fantastic meal and we will definitely be back. Made the prefect dining experience for our...
