A fantastic, atmospheric Nepalese restaurant, with an interesting menu of well-cooked, traditional dishes. The staff are friendly and the restaurant is well-spaced, but cosy, being well decorated and inviting. Highly recommended for a great meal!

Nice and warm hospitality. Very energetic and friendly staffs. Food is top notch with authentic nepali taste. When in Edinburgh don’t miss out Gurkha Cafe. Reserving early will be much efficient.

Fantastic food and service. The good was exceptionally tasty and wonderfully prepared. Service was fast and very friendly and helpful. The Gurkha Chef's special was delicious. Spicing was very flavourful with just the right amount of heat. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Nice Nepalese Restaurant. We had to wait a little bevor getting a table - so reservations might make sense. Food was good, side dishes like Nand or rice have to be ordered extra. Price for the meal was ok for mit-town Edinburgh.

Wonderful food. Excellent portions and reasonably priced. However the service was slow and our meal didn't arrive for 50 minutes. This wasn't helped by one of our dishes having to be made again (we're not sure what happened but according to the waiter something went wrong in the kitchen). It was a shame as this took the edge off the meal after what had been long day for us. However I would certainly return for the quality of food.

Fantastic food! Food quality and taste 10/10. It took some time to sit down and then after ordering, but I suppose great food takes some time to prepare. I highly recommend. We tried 5 different main dishes, plus 2 naans. All were served hot and fresh. Tasty 😋

A really lovely meal, it came out really fast and was super delicious, I was really blown away by the Mo:Mo’s and how nice the Naan was. The beer named Everest was chilled and crisp. Also the staff were super friendly and even cracked a few jokes with me as I sat alone, but the bag was my company.
