Gurkha Kitchen Nepalese & Indian Cuisine

This place is great! The Nepalese dishes were delicious and the garlic naan was the best I have ever had. The service was quick and very polite and we got some port wine on the house at the end of our meal. I definitely recommend trying this place!

Everything was excellent, the chicken was tender and juicy, the service was great and the atmosphere was quite nice. Highly recommend

Nestled atop an incline, you'll find a delightful Nepalese and Indian restaurant. The setting boasts a spacious patio, perfect for a wonderful evening meal. With exceedingly friendly service and a delectable array of dishes, you're in for a treat. Just take a look at the abundance of food we've received! The restaurant keeps its doors open until 11 pm, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely dining experience. Wishing you an incredibly enjoyable meal!

This is one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. The prawn tikka masala was so tender and flavourful and stood out to us out of all the amazing dishes we tried. Servers were very kind as well. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!!

We have had an apartment in Carvoeiro for over 3 years and finally made it to this amazing restaurant! Have we missed out! Vinhu is so kind and we got our food hot and enjoyed every bite. We will be back without a doubt, as well as recommending to those who enjoy Indian cuisine. Excellent!

The food was excellent , the staff very professional and the atmosphere was vibrant. We had the chilli fish, mixed grill and shrimp . The flavours were so good makes
You crave more . They had love music, a mother son duet from Scotland that had everyone entertained .
Highly recommend !!

We came here twice. The food and the service was exceptional. The staff is really friendly. We ordered the wings, the momo soup, garlic chilly chicken, piro prawns. All the dishes were exceptional. Highly recommend!!

We came here as we rarely get the opportunity to enjoy Indian food and we had walked past this on one of our morning walks.

The menu is a good size, with plenty of options for vegetarians and is very informative about the level of spice you can expect.

The service was very friendly, helpful and attentive and couldn't be faulted. We also had some wine and mint chocolates after our meal, on the house, which was a lovely touch and made us feel welcome.

We tried the shahi paneer, vegetable biryani, peshwari naan and mango lassi.
All of these were very tasty and well-presented, and we were particularly impressed by the biryani. We both agreed that the food here was great quality, great value, and better than home!

Overall, we would highly recommend coming here if you enjoy Indian food, we only wished we could have come here with all the family, as being able to order a number of dishes and share would have made the experience even better.

We had a delicious meal here. Everything was unique and tasty. One meal was slightly not to one persons taste (but other very much enjoyed it) and it was immediately replaced with something more to their liking. We were checked back on multiple times and the food was so so good. I recommend the mango lassi and the Karahi chicken. For seafood lovers the butter prawn option was also divine! I can’t remember the exact names without the menu but everything was very good!

Extensive selection of dishes available on the menu. We like to try different specials and we we're not disappointed. The Himalayan Cham Cham is amazing. Tender chicken with peppers in a creamy yet spicy sauce. Beautiful!!

Wow, what a find......
Due to a family emergency my friends had to leave our Portuguese holiday so I visited here by myself, single lady. Which can be a bit weird, however....
The staff were so lovely & welcoming, checking in all was OK with me. Took a drink order quickly & followed with some help on my meal order, considering I was just one I didn't want to over order.

I had a starter tandoori chicken with a side of the best sag panneer I have ever tasted in my life, full of a zing of szechuan pepper & full of flavour, a crispy garlic nan bread to complete.
I went pretty early, 6.30ish but when I left 8.15ish, it was chocka block so I think it best to book.

Really enjoyed it & highly recommended, definitely will go again in the few days I'm still here.

Thankyou to the full staff.

Where do I even start? The staff was so polite and friendly from the beginning, the food was delicious and it arrived super fast! Not to mention the fact that the servings were quite generous, especially for the starters. In the end they also treated us with a couple of desserts and some port wine.

Very good food, well prepared and seasoned! Good size portion and very good service!

Gurkha Kitchen in Carvoeiro is a hidden gem for lovers of Nepalese cuisine. The food is top-notch, offering a wide range of authentic dishes that tantalize the taste buds. The service is excellent, attentive, and friendly, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. The ambiance is authentic, immersing you in Nepalese culture. Overall, it's a fantastic restaurant that I would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates exotic flavors and warm hospitality.

We visited this wonderful place on 10 of May, 2023.
Atmosphere is nice and calm.
The food was great and out of this world!
We like Indian and a little bit spicy food and everywhere we travel we try food in Indian restaurants, and this place is amazing!
The restaurant team is very friendly and cares about customers always asking if everything is fine.
Definitely recommend this place.

P.S. 4 euro for big bottle of water is a bit too much, but it was hot day, so we needed to stay hydrated anyway.

All best wishes and many thanks!

Amazing place and delicious food. It is one of the best places we tried in Algrave! We ordered the Tandoori chicken, chicken Tikka and some starters and salads. The service is wonderful and the owner of the place has it running beautifully with over 30 years of experience in the food service. Special thanks to our friend Abhay Singh who made our dinner extra special with his smile and friendly conversation with his guests. Will be back for sure. Highly recommend this place.

I have visited Gurkha Kitchen twice this month, booking on both occasions by email, which got a very swift response. Both times, the restaurant was very busy, but we were accommodated in the seating that I had requested in my email, which was really nice and much appreciated.
The food here is stunning. Tandoori chicken and Lamb Sukuti starters were glorious. I haven’t tasted better anywhere.
For the main course, my companion had Ghurkali Mixed Grill Special sizzling dish, which was amazing. Plenty of variety, with a tikka sauce on the side, so a lovely meaty dish. The taste was so aromatic and fragrant. He would definitely have it again and would recommend it highly.
I had Lamb Khasi, which was also a gorgeous choice. The spices were just perfect and it really hit the spot. Accompanied by mushroom pilau rice, it was very satisfying. The food was coupled with a white house wine, which was so mellow and Cobra beer, which is always a favourite.
Ghurka Kitchen is on Rua das Amoreiras, a street on a hillside in Carvoeiro town centre. There is ample space for parking in the locality. The restaurant itself is so spacious and has a beautiful patio area, which is very large and airy, and there is protection overhead in case of rain.
I had two all round great experiences here during this holiday. Staff can’t be praised highly enough. Very attentive to the clients and just happy to go the extra bit to ensure customer satisfaction. They are very busy, which is obvious, but will happily make time to chat and take a photograph, when requested by customers.
I would definitely recommend Ghurka Kitchen to anyone who appreciates relaxation, comfort and cares about good food.

So good. We followed the trip advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. Try the chhwela wochha nepalese starter. It’s either chicken kr lamb in a lentil pancake. It was out of this world! We shared it today, but next time we are getting ine each. We did the chicken and it was so tender and the sauce was lovely. We also ordered the vegetable samosa with spicy sauce, they were very nicely cooked. Finally we had the mixed grill. It was solid. Very reasonably priced. Well done!

An amazing restaurant with plenty of choice of Indian and Nepalese dishes on the menu. Extremely lovely service from Bisshnu who was very friendly and attended to us making sure we had everything we needed from start to finish. He really made our dining experience wonderful. Would definitely come here again!

Had a fabulous meal at this restaurant. It was sumptuous and mouthwatering! Friendly ambiance with great service! Will certainly visit again when in the area!
