We ate here Friday night and the food was lovely and plentiful although some serving spoons and tongs missing. Customers were using their fingers which was extremely off putting. Luckily... read more we arrived before the rush so only had to watch this. When I had finished eating I went for a cup of coffee as I had read on the website that it was included in the price when I asked for a cup and saucer I was told it was an extra £2 I didn’t want to make a fuss but was extremely confused and disappointed at being told that as it clearly states on the website that it is included. I queried it at the till and was told if I was a resident at the hotel it would be included!!! No one asked me that question when I asked for a cup and saucer. Also I was told there was two websites the one I went on clearly said Restaurant If they have stopped including it then it should remove from website as false advertising and incorrect
April 10, 2022Colin CSuperb food and service drinks came very quickly and empty plates taken a way very quickly. The Gurka Lamb Curry was excellent.

I have been to the Gurkha a lot in the last few years the food is amazing and I can’t fault that at all.
The owner’s on the other hand... read more really let the restaurant down.
They are very rude and unwelcoming always rushing you to finish your food to the point where you just feel really awkward.
Every time I have eaten there I always leave a tip for the staff but after talking with a waiter they told me they never receive a penny of the tip money left by customers. I checked with the other workers and unfortunately it’s true.
As I said above though the food really is brilliant just DO NOT leave a tip
September 1, 2021daverobzippyAnother visit to the Gurkha last Wednesday evening with the family.
I love this place, the staff are so friendly and attentive and the food is perfect.
The Gurkha lamb... read more curry is still my favourite and served with a side of spicy chips makes for a tasty plateful.
We have booked again for next week as a Birthday treat and can't wait.
Highly recommended.
November 19, 2021sharoncC6372SWFood ok not as good as it has been in the past, covid rules adhered to, clean and tidy.
We were told that due to Covid they don’t serve... read more alcohol , I’ve heard some things in my time , but that was just a ridiculous statement.
I just wondered if they had lost their alcohol licence.

February 1, 2023KUGLEMANI visited this place on a Tuesday night at 5-30pm. I sat in a nice corner table away from what turned out to be a very busy restaurant. The standard... read more of food for a buffet was excellent. Plenty of choice including Indian, Chinese Nepalese etc.
I mostly like food to be mildly spiced and thought the food could have been too spicy, but i was pleased to find the food was perfectly ok for me, not too spicy at all.
There were the usual starters spring rolls, spare ribs, onion bhaji, samosas and mains including Sweet and sour chicken, curries rice nan bread. Also a nice Nepalese curry.
There was cake tinned fruit and ice cream for sweet and i was certainly full after i had eaten all of that.
There was a lovely family sat at the next table who i had a nice chat with. As for the price £13-00 for the choice of food on offer appears perfectly acceptable.I will certainly visit again the next time i am in Blackpool.
As usual with serve yourself buffet restaurants i do not give a score for service as you serve yourself. However i give myself a top score as i served myself very well.
October 11, 2021681akimpGood but substantial price increase - Been here many times always Been very good food and service was very good but i think on a Friday when the price increases should get more than hour and... read more a half to eat i think the price increase will put people off to be honest i visited on a Friday and was surprised how quiet it was not calling the ghurka whatsoever but have a re think regarding fri and weekends

June 5, 2021Paulwi77You could call me a bit of a all you can eat/buffet offocianado, whenever I get a chance whilst travelling or happen to be in an area with a all... read more you can eat/buffet style restaurant i always visit. On reading reviews of the Ghurka it was amazing, I have never read so many positive reviews and was looking forward to it tonight.
On entering the restaurant it is more of an experience than a meal, the gentleman who opened the restaurant was indeed a Gurkha... there are so many amazing artifacts about the Gurkhas and visually it was breath taking to see.
The food was hot, tasty and lots of variety... I did my normal and had to try everything all at once which left me stuffed and having to give myself 10 minutes to recover. I could sit here and tell you about all the amazing dishes... but my favourite was the chicken biryani, char sui meat and a Gurkha beef curry... the beef literally melted in the mouth. I had lots to eat but these were my favourites, the place is spotless and had an amazing atmosphere... lots of families and friends enjoying the food and talking away. As for the staff, they were amazing... literally anything you wanted wasn't an issue, dirty plates removed quickly and drinks orders literally there within a couple of minutes. Every staff member and even some of the chefs we bumped into... were chatty and smiling away. So a massive thank you to everyone at the Gurkha for a lovely evening... we are going to be seeing you alot more in the future.
