Gurkha Restaurant — Restaurant in Teignbridge

We drove over 30 minutes to try the food at Gurkha based on positive reviews. I wish we really had not bothered and this was the worst meal and service we have ever had and would give it zero if there was an option to. As we confirmed about gluten free options at the time of booking so we expected a good selection. I believe it was the owner that took our order and his son was behind the bar. I asked why the popadoms were not showing as gluten free as they are made out of gram or corn flour and he said that he didn't know which was a concern because he made out that he didn't understand. However he was fluent in english and confidently said the chips were gluten free but a minute ago he didn't understand what Gluten Free Was ?? So we decided to just order a main course each. Over 30 minutes passed and no food but a table of 5 that arrived way after us were getting their food. My husband asked how much longer our food was going to be and was told the larger table was being served before us. He again played a select understanding game. Another 10 minutes passes and the table of 3 next to us were served with starters. My husband approached again and was told it was only starters !! So we told them that we need to leave and was going to pay for our drinks and leave. We finally received our food an hour and half after ordering with no apology and it was awful. I am indian myself so I know what a good or bad curry is. They were both very bland and had no salt or spices in them. My husband approached the owners son to pay and there was not a single apology from him or his dad all evening. His dad approached to clear our table & he didn't ask me why both curries were hardly touched or did we not want to take it home with us. It would have been nice to be asked so we could explain why discreetly without causing a scene. There was nothing humble or honest about the owner as we listened to him being rude and aggressive to another table of 2 blaming them for an error in their order with no apology. I strongly advise people to avoid this place at all costs and I don't believe any of the positive reviews are genuine and they are there to draw...

Where to start, the take out that was delivered last night was the worst food i have ever had the misfortune to order, over £38 for a meal for two that was put in the bin,. from the undercooked on the bone greasy chicken in the Tandoori starter that was covered in some sort of greasy onion garnish to my £12.50 Tandoori mixed grill that was stuffed into a plastic container again covered with the awful onion covering, i always thought that Tandoori food was served well cooked and dry, onion bargee oily and soggy, a Chicken Vindaloo that appeared to be cubes of chicken in a runny sauce, bombay aloo hard as stones and finaly the coconut Pershwari naan bread that was both burnt and soggy, it just disintergrated as i pulled it from the bag If i could score zero then i would ,if i hadnt had a bottle of beer i would have jumped in the car and taken it back I can appreciate one dish being a bit off the pace, but...

I came in for a meal few weeks ago, as a table of 8 the restaurant was exceptionally busy and food took a while to come however we were compensated with two free bottles of wine. Was served by lovely young man and was shocked to find out he was only 17 as he acts a lot older when the food arrived it was absolutely amazing and well worth the wait but did find the other young man think he had ginger hair quite rude and blunt with no manners. he was stood at the bar on his phone most of the time while the other young man was running around.Did mention this but he didn’t seem too bothered. Overall a fantastic night glad the one with ginger hair didn’t serve us all night as he went home and the other young chap kept running around with excellent service. Don’t want this new young man to reflect the business as every time i have been it’s been wonderful!! Will be returning in the...
