Absolutely fantastic dining experience at Gurkha Nepalese Cafe & Restaurant in Edinburgh city centre. This place truly stands out for its authentic flavours and quality of food.
The chicken biryani was beautifully cooked — fragrant rice, perfectly spiced, and tender chicken in every bite. The chicken madras had just the right level of heat, rich in flavour without overpowering the palate, and tasted wonderfully fresh.
The breads were equally impressive. The garlic naan was soft, fluffy, and generously topped with garlic, while the lamb keema naan was packed with flavourful minced lamb and cooked perfectly.
For starters, the chicken momos were excellent — juicy, well-seasoned, and served piping hot. The chicken sekwa was another highlight: smoky, tender, and full of authentic Nepalese spices, clearly grilled to perfection.
To finish, the mango lassi was thick, creamy, and refreshing — a perfect balance to the spices.
Portion sizes were generous, service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. If you’re in Edinburgh and looking for authentic Nepalese and Indian flavours, this place is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

Wonderfully creative and skilled presentation of food, particularly the starters. It was early on a Tuesday night in dark cold February so like most places it was quiet. We enjoyed the food which was a mix of well loved Indian classics and Nepalese dishes which were new to us. They came in generous portions and our party of six had a really enjoyable evening.

I had a lovely dinner at Gurka. Momos are delicious as well as other starters. Paneer was also excellent. We got some good recommendations from Prashant about traditional Nepalese tea. Will come back!

I was craving a warm and tasty curry and happened to be in the area by chance. After checking the reviews I thought I’d give the place a go and I’m glad I did. The service was perfect. The man who served me tonight was very friendly and attentive. The food was also delicious – one of the best curries I have ever had. I am visiting from overseas but have told my friends who live locally to try this place. I paid 60 pound but that’s because I ordered a few dishes that I wanted to try and take home afterwards. Very happy with the price.

This place totally nails the authentic Indian flavors! My taste buds were instantly transported back to India with every bite. It’s like a culinary journey that brought back so many delicious memories. Honestly, it’s been a while since I’ve had food this close to home. If you’re craving a genuine taste of India, you’ve got to try this spot.

Service That Makes You Feel Special !!
From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff at Gurkha Cafe are some of the most hospitable and kind people. They were patient with our questions and made excellent suggestions. The ambience is equally lovely—very cozy and beautifully decorated. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish.

We visited this place on July 30, and from the very first moment to the final goodbye, it felt truly wholesome. The food was absolutely delicious — it reminded us of the authentic flavours of home, Nepal.
It was also my friend’s birthday, and the team surprised her with a lovely gesture. I know this appreciation comes a bit late, but a huge thank you to the entire team for making it such a memorable experience.

Apologies, all of my pictures are halfway eaten through while taking photos. We could not wait till we take pictures.
These people are providing good quality foods with authentic tastes that take you back to Nepal. If any of you have tasted some delicacies from Nepal, you can find the same taste in the foods provided at Gurkha.
We were lured by warm hospitality. It felt great to see foreigners enjoy the foods from Nepal.
Naans were very crisp and thin. Good portion of chicken. Lamb sadeko was great from flavour of mustard oil used. Momo was juicy and succulent. We definitely can say one of the best momo in whole UK.
The interior takes you back to Nepal.
We will definitely visit again.
