The Gurkha Kitchen — Restaurant in Sunnyvale

Great service. Great atmosphere, Terrible food...

As a food business owner, you should never feel cheated after eating a meal. I rarely leave bad reviews but there are a few issues that need to be addressed.

SHRIMP CHOW MEIN-1st appearance it looked great. Nice color, full of veggies but where's the Shrimp??? Closer inspection I noticed the used TINY Shrimp Meat that a chef would have never used. When I say tiny I mean the size of DIME! maybe even smaller. So disappointing. The chow mein had great flavor. Just stay away from ordering the Shrimp option. What a joke!

SPRING ROLLS- Prior to ordering I specifically asked my waitress if these were housemade or were they store bought. She said they were made in house so I ordered them. $10 for 5 pieces. Well she lied. These are your most basic, frozen restaurant supply store, Chinese buffet egg rolls that you can buy SERVED WITH KETCHUP!! like wtf? . Literally $25 for a huge box at the restaurant supplier And you lie to the customer and charge $10 per order and can't even serve with sweet and sour sauce? King Egg Roll that makes real in house egg rolls charge $1.90 per egg roll that is twice the size. Stay away from ordering these. SMH.

CHILI MOMO- Great flavor. The momo itself lacked authenticity. It tasted like a fried freezer pot sticker tossed in a chili paste sauce and served with veggies.

Almost $50 later we left feeling robbed. Do better for your customers. Stop cutting corners to make money. Tiny salad shrimp meat, Ketchup as spring roll dipping sauce is just diabolical...

I won a chess tournament kate night at 1030 pm, and was looking for dine in options closer to Sunnyvale and Gurkha kitchen was open late night!

When I went there, it was completely empty, and I asked if they were still open. The guy said yes, and took my order. I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, and a Tandoori Roti. He has some confusion in understanding my order but he got it after a few repetitions.

I self assigned a table and got seated. I waited for a few minutes for water, but ended up requesting to the waiter.

The food came quickly, within 5 mins. But he did not serve any plates and cloth/paper napkins along. I requested them and he got it later.

As I finished my first roti, the owner (looked like) came around and asked if all was good. I said yes. He noticed that I was about to finish my roti, and there's still a lot of curry remaining. He asked me if Id like another roti, and I felt very nice. I nodded and said yes with a smile, and thanked him for observing and asking. The owner also asked me if I'd like to add butter to it, and I said yes again (felt nice as he asked in a very family friendly way).

The quantity of curry was good enough, that it filed me up and was still remaining. I ended up asking for a to go, and they quickly provided it to me.

Overall, a great family friendly restaurant....
