Gurkha's Inn — Restaurant in Winchester

I wish I could give 0 star. I have never reviewed any restaurant or anything till today but couldn’t stop myself from doing it for the first time.

We wanted to have Nepalese food yesterday 15/02/023 so booked a table for 3 & went there, ordered the food. The food came around 18:35 which was pretty much alright with the timing. But as soon as we emptied our plates, a man which I feel is the owner (not sure though) cleared our table. In less than 5 minutes time, the same guy brought us our bill which we didn’t even ask for, as we were still drinking our beers. We paid the bill and when I said him we haven’t finished yet, he said the same table we were given is booked for 19:30. We were about to order next round of beers, but indirectly all he wanted was us to leave which we felt kind of rude. Being a Nepalese we came searching a Nepali restaurant when we were in Winchester and all he did was insult.

When a table is reserved already then why to even give it to us? And we were not even walking customers, we also called & booked a table before coming. When I saw around still some of the tables were there without any guest. All I would like to say is if the restaurant wants to take a customer than non of the person will empty their table on the restaurant’s allocated specific time unless its the closing time. All he wanted was us to finish our food and wrap up so that they could sell the same table for other customers. Its the right of every customers to stay and spend some quality time with their friends and family as its a dine in restaurant not a FAST FOOD.

It was my last evening in Winchester and before leaving back home I wanted to dine in but all he did was ruined our vibe and the evening. I would never in my life time suggest nepalese people to go to this restaurant as we felt its focused just for the English people. We had the most annoying evening there.NEVER...

Took my family for a meal here yesterday. We were barely greeted as we entered and tables were so close you were sat on top of each other. Service was terrible, they allegedly only had one type of white wine (the most expensive) despite having multiple on the wine menu and saying yes to the different kind of wine I ordered. They then dropped the wine off at the table without telling us it was not the right one. Incorrect dishes kept being dropped at the table and drinks orders were ignored. When the food eventually came it did taste nice, or so we thought at the time. Fast forward 12 hours later and three out of five of us (so far) who haven’t eaten anything the same since have come down with the worst food poisoning we have ever had. We called the restaurant to which they said it’s not their problem or anything they can do as they only serve the food, the manager was not back for weeks and he may or may not call. The worst place to eat in...

My friends and I went there on Wednesday 28 July 21 as it had good reviews. As we were on a course in Winchester we decided to check it out. Since one of my friends and I are Nepalese in a Nepali restaurant, I felt we were ignored. The waiters were more receptive and responsive to Caucasian customers. They got served much quicker and faster. The food was of mediocre standard. I ordered a vegetable platter for starter which was £10+ and it was made up of mostly frozen stuff eg.potato samosas and etc. My friends ordered Momos £5 for starters and got 5 pieces. £1 for 1 piece. All in all, as a Nepalese, I felt the food is overpriced and less then average. The business caters towards and is more palatable for Caucasians customers then your average Nepalese. That is my two cents on this Gurkha’s...
