June 5, 2021Keith AOn a visit for a couple of days and one of our party mention this restaurant, so I contacted and booked in a short notice.
Absolutely fantastic reception, friendly and... read more polite. The restaurant was busy but this goes to show how popular it is. The buffet food is to say the least great, large selection of Chinese, Indian, Thai and Nepalese I cannot fault it in anyway.
This is a gem of a place and I am already planing my return visit.
October 9, 2021quartz62Great buffet with loads of choice. As per previous reviews, there are screens over the food at the moment and staff behind the counters to serve you. They are not... read more shy with the portions so make sure you are hungry when you go!
Everything we ate was tasty, and the tables seemed quite well spaced out.
The track and trace sign in sheet was in the entrance to the restaurant but staff didn't ask/remind us to fill it in so we almost missed it. Not sure how many other people would have missed it altogether.

We have been patrons for some years now and as often happens we took the place for granted. We were always made welcome and always had good food and drinks.
The reopening after COVID has really shown just what we have been missing. The premises are always clean and tidy. The staff could not be friendly or helpful but they are never oppressive or interfering - they are there when needed and service is excellent. The food is impressively varied with a huge selection of all types of dishes made with fresh and good quality ingredients. It is a self service buffet but the layout and organisation makes it easy to get around and the various foods are regularly topped up with nice freshly cooked grub. Nothing is allowed to sit for long in the servers before being replaced so your food is fresh and hot. The extra arrangements for COVID do not detract from the pleasure of the experience which in itself is an achievement.
We are really pleased that our favourite eatery has reopened, we were touched by the warm welcome and the sheer quality of this little gem restaurant and bar was clear to see.
Excellent evening. See you in a couple of weeks.
Thank you Gurkha.

Very rude staff. I told them I was vegetarian and they were less than helpful but the main issue I had was the dry and cold food they serve. Disgusting... read more behaviour towards a paying customer and disgusting food to go with it

What a great find - Going out to a concert and looking for places nearby to eat and The Gurkha Buffet Restaurant is within walking distance.
Great food, and so many choices including some things... read more I'd never tried before (the Gurka Lamb curry, though really hot and not for the faint hearted, is so tasty - I loved it).
Friendly attentive staff that have a good sense of humour.
Lovely place and we will definitely return.
Unfortunately, and not the restaurant or the staffs fault at all, there was a crazy woman ahead of us, when we went to pay. She was complaining about the price (she was looking at a very old photo of the menu on her phone and was expecting the same price as like 5 years ago). She also moaned about being moved on from her table (you get 90 minutes, it says on the website, on the menu, outside the door - it's a busy place so completely understandable - and just how long does someone actually need?) The woman made a complete fool of herself, shouting at the staff ridiculous things. All the staff took it in their stride, and after the mad woman left, had a good laugh about it along with me and my partner who had an excellent time.
Thank you so much guys and gals
