Gurkha Junction Restaurant in Derby

First I have to say the meal was absolutely delicious. I would recommend it without hesitation. The menu is extensive, so the most difficult part was choosing what to eat. The service, this was slow, but only one person was taking orders, delivering food and cleaning tables, but always pleasant.

Only people in there. Shame because the food was excellent.

This is definitely the best takeaway in my opinion. Unlike most, the food has many flavor levels even when hot. Fresh ginger, garlic and whole pepper corns make an amazing difference. Please give them a try.

I cannot give this place enough love, I made an oopsie, one simple conversation fixed it, excellent communication, if you’re ordering get the daal, lemon rice and parathas because you will have an experience.

Best Gurkha food in East Midlands, you must try. EMA curry club best restaurant.🥰

Great food and service. Good selection of Ghurka dishes very well cokked and tailored to meet my requirements. Lovely staff too

I consider myself a bit of a curry connoisseur 😂 usually eat on the curry mile manchester but travelling for work I try many restaurants around the country. The food in this place is up there with the best 100% the taste and quality of the meat was exceptional

This used to be our 100% restaurant until it changed hands about 6 years ago and went seriously down hill. However due again to change of ownership our number two takeaway went down the same hill and we decided to give gurkha junction another chance. Imagine my suprise, new owners, don't know how long ago, and really good food. Tonight will be my fourth visit in six weeks so must be really good again. MY only negative would be that I don't know what half of the dishes are, what flavours or how hot. Just have to try them all I guess.

Very nice restaurant, staff are very friendly especially the waiter. Me and my wife have come here twice now and will be coming again. It is also a nice place to relax, thanks 👍

Price too high, portion not enough, The menu said mixed biriyani but not a single prawn 🦐 in the box and many pieces of chicken and 2 pieces of Lamb was there. COMPARING WITH BOMBAY BIRIYANI NOTTINGHAM, GURKHA JUNCTION Restaurant is No where. 🤮🤮🤮

Food is not really fresh. Test like microwave cook. Even Tuesday night Expensive as well. They charge everything even exra onion chutney

Great authentic food and decent price !

Really tasty Indian food, very good service. I definitely recommend a visit!

Been coming here for years, not sure if the chef has changed or they had accidentally tipped the salt over but every single dish, including the pickle tray dips were extremely salty and almost inedible.i was very disappointed as usually the food is lovely

We have just had a quality meal with great choice served by friendly helpfull staff at a reasonable price and can recommend it to all and will be back very soon

Amazing food. Very tasty and arrived hot. Will be ordering again.

Very friendly welcome. Good range of options. I enjoy the Salmon curry and chilli fish starter. Good Bombay Bicycle IPA on offer.

First time here and everything was cooked to perfection. The flavours and choice are amazing. Will definitely be back

Absolutely superb food cooked to perfection every single time. The staff are super friendly and always go out of their way for you. The prices are great especially considering the quality of the food. The best in Derby for Indian/Nepalese food by far.

Bit disappointed but maybe went on the wrong night

Dont be thrown by the shabby exterior, this place is a great find! Nepalese chefs work miracles with their subtle combination of spices to give you a unique dining experience. Better than any indian meal I have had in a very long time, only the Balti at Matlock Bath is on a par with this place. If you go for the goat dish - be aware there may be bone in there. Batuka is my favourite at the moment but planning to work our way down the extensive menu. Bring your friends and family if you want something awesomely different. The servers are cute and happy to please. Seriously, this place is a gem hidden away in Spondon. Try it!

I hadn't seen that it was a buffet meal on Sundays when I booked, but there appeared to be plenty of choice. The big problem was that the food was barely lukewarm. When I commented I was told that the burners hadn't been lit. No apology offered and i did wonder if a food inspector visited with a temperature probe, what ratings they would achieve. Didn't feel that I got my moneys-worth as I really prefer hot food. My grandson even commented that the plate was hotter than the food, without having heard me talking to the waitress. Therefore the combination of cool food and indifferent staff means I won't return I visited with family, adults and children (pre-teens)

Always good and either before stated delivery time or before

What a lovely meal definitely coming back

Ordered food for takeaway and arrived nearly 2.5 hours later! cold!!! When speaking with restaurant about where order was we was spoken to by the owner with a very bad attitude. Whilst on the phone with owner the delivery driver turned up and he continued to speak to his own staff in a very disrespectful way! Certainly won’t be giving them our business again! Offered our £2 delivery money back for the inconvenience! Shameful.

Food was totally delicious. Honestly say some of the best cooked meat I have ever had. Portion sizes are brilliant After a couple of poppadoms and samosa starter I couldn’t manage much of the main dish. Very impressed with food. Very well presented Tasty Awesome portion size The place is a little dated inside but doesn’t detract from the quality. My only critique would be the waiter wearing casual clothes, north face gilet and trainers. Not sure if it was the owner who was chatting to us but such a lovely person. I would strongly recommend calling in for a meal or even ordering a takeaway, you won’t be disappointed.

Airy,clean, surprisingly spacious, my first impressions were good. Staff are courteous and pleasant and, although we hadn’t booked, were immediately shown to a table. There was plenty of choice for me with a number of vegetarian and vegan options. The food was beautifully presented, cooked to perfection and plentiful. And, it certainly didn’t break the bank. I’m sure I will be visiting again soon.

Came here with a couple of friends on a Friday night after a recommendation. Was very impressed with the high quality of the food. I’ve had a few Indian meals in my time but this was right up there with the best (if not THE best). We had the fish sharing starter which was far better thank I expected. It was delicious! For my main I had goat curry. It was amazing … so tender and packed with flavour. I’m salivating just thinking about it and can’t wait to go back. Staff are also great. Thank you for an amazing time and exceptional food.

We have just eaten in here for the first time in a while. We were not disappointed. The food was amazing and plentiful, the staff very friendly and helpful and the bill was very reasonable. There were 4 of us, and all were extremely satisfied with our service. We will certainly be returning.

Only called in for a takeaway, the restaurant looked good and more importantly for me, the food was really nice. Not the cheapest but quality. Will be using again

The best food I've had in Spondon. Loverly food never disappoints great value for money with great quality. Me and my wife don't recommend anywhere else but gurkah junction to get food

Always great food. Not the cheapest, but definitely worth it.

Excellent meal, extensive menu and the portion sizes large. 8 in our party and everyone was impressed.

No frills restaurant but the best gurkha food ever.

Food was amazing. Will be returning!

The most delicious food. Used this place many times and never fails to disappoint. Very welcoming staff. The Lamb Secuwa is devine ! Reasonably priced as well.

Fantastic food time and service will definitely be going again

Uniharuko Nepali kanna ekhdaam mitho chha! Lamb ko momo mitho anii khasi ko masu curry mitho. Gurkha Junction staff ramro manche! Feri bhetola mero sathiharu

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious meal here on Saturday night. Attentive service. Good sized portions. Happy for us to linger with drinks and coffee. Thank you

Amazing food and great service friendly and polite Always enjoy the chicken mango Nepal and special rice cooked to perfection

Lovely friendly Nepali restaurant. Host Ram was very welcoming and so kind. Our first visit after many years. Kitchen accommodated all our requests and produced a fabulous dinner. Momos are a definite. Do try the Gurkha chops and the methi paneer. All dishes served with pride. Quality of meat was exceptionally good and cooked beautifully. Would highly recommend.

Visited here for a meal on a recommendation. We were greeted with weeds all around the outside of the restaurant and as we tried to park at the rear (two full spaces) We noticed the open back door (due to the heat, which is understandable) was battered and broken and needs to be renewed. Anyway we ventured in and the inside was more pleasant. The food was good but stating that the set meal deal is three courses is misleading as they are saying that curry and rice is two courses ! We asked for coke which was on the menu for £1.70 for a half pint, but we were given pints at £2.50 each and did not realise. We then had the ice cream dessert which was listed on the menu as 'unforgettable'.. I am afraid I am unable to remember what it was ! The staff were friendly and pleasant, but there was a lad about 13 years old serving us. He was efficient enough, but had no knowledge of the menu or ingredients and few customer service skills. Is he there perhaps as the minimum wage for children is less ?. All things considered, I think it is okay but attention to detail is needed and a bit of a tidy up. Beware of the set menu at £11.95pp. Because once you have had drinks and dessert, the bill will be over £40.

Great food great take paneer wonderful

Beautifully presented food. Very attentive and caring staff. We find this restaurant very hard to beat.

Very good food & service with authentic dishes. Waiting staff are knowledgeable & seem happy to help with choosing. Wash room needs a make over as it let's, an otherwise good restaurant down. Definitely worth a visit

Brilliant staff and food,very well looked after.

We have been using this place to eat in and out through the last couple of years and have loved it... the latest takeaway however was a real disappointment. I don't know whether the chef has changed or they are trying to cut costs but there was virtually no protein in the curries or chunks of vegetables - they were almost completely sauce. I may try once more just to see whether it was an off day but there will be no more opportunities after that. Its a quiet expensive takeaway - it used to be worth it but this latest one was very poor across all dishes.

What a fantastic restaurant. From the moment you walk in you know its going to be good . Lovely people waiting on you and the food is fresh and very very tasty ... 5 star for me

Just been for a meal here and as usual the food was brilliant. Had my fave paneer it was spot on. Cant recommend the place enough. Service was great aswel always get a warm welcome. See u again soon

Most amazing food ever, 5 Stars every time

Excellent, friendly service and great, tasty food and drinks in good surroundings.

Nicely cooked and well presented

Went here tonight with family; thought we would give it a go because we enjoy Nepalese cuisine and we had read lots of good reviews. We were all really disappointed with the whole experience. Firstly, it's a bit of a dump inside: cheap, nasty, tatty and drab, plus the toilets are simply awful. Parking is inadequate and then we were greeted with a broken fridge outside the door. Next, we were served by a young teenager who was going her best but clearly new, needed a lot of support and had no refinement...employing such a youngster is never going to end well. Then, the food: what a let down. Out of the starters, the only half decent dish was the mixed tikka - the chilli fish was a mound of black, greasy chunks of mess and the lamb choyla was inedible...my partner picked at it and left most. Then the mains: all underwhelming, bland and lacking any depth of flavour and clearly poor quality ingredients. Finally, we were all surprised to be served a bottle of Lidl Chenin Blanc that costs roughly £5 (and is basically naff plonk) and be charged £16.95 for it. Yet, despite everything being pretty poor, the prices are not cheap at all! We did not overindulge and yet paid £100 for three of us. Add the fact that we were sat near a table of loud, rude and foul mouthed chavs to all of the above and it won't surprise you to learn that we won't be returning! We will stick to the Himalyan Gurkha on Macklin Street which is miles ahead on all fronts.

We recently dined here with family. The staff were really friendly and attentive and were able to advise on many of the dishes. The food was absolutely delicious and we all agreed that this was the best curry we have had in a long while. We would definitely recommend a visit.

First time ordering from Gurkha Junction. Excellent choice for meat and non-meat eaters. Food arrived well before designated time and was really hot. Very polite delivery driver which does make a difference. The food was something else..... excellent sized portions and really tasty. Will definitely be ordering again. All round 5 *****experience.

Very easy to order either online or by phone, we phoned due to having a few allergy questions which were quickly answered, allowing us to order. The order was ready on time for collection, and the front of house very polite and helpful. Our food was very good, with well balanced spice levels which did not overpower the flavours, good portion sizes too. Prices are competitive.

First time at this type of restaurant, pleasantly surprised. Good service and tasty food. I'll revisit.

Wonderful tasty and quality products. Best bit, not greasy.

I got wet up by HAIDEN BALL outside the gurkha only wanted some cigs

The food and service was very good. There was an excellent choice of dishes for us to choose from. Overall it was a great experience.

Lovely food however inexperienced staff who asked if we were finished while still eating, food served with no plates and had to ask for them. Customer service training badly needed. ☹

Very nice meal and friendly and helpful staff

I lovely food varied menu generous portion size truthful about delivery time.. Had an excellent eat in meal last night. Food was fantastic.. Varied menu with great description.. Plenty of non meat choices if you want. Great freindly service and very clean.

In a word, delicious. Every dish we ordered had spices and tons of flavour. Excellent value for money

Really nice food and staff was very friendly. Highly recommended and will go again. Good price too

Nepalese food cooked to an excellent standard, served by friendly, customer focused staff. A family favourite restaurant.

Amazing meal, huge portions and very tasty, will definitely go again. Parking a bit restricted though.

Absolutely fantastic place. I strongly recommend coming here. The food is incredible, staff are very friendly and helpful and the menu offers a brilliant selection of food and drinks to choose from.

First visit to this local restaurant. Lovely friendly welcome, comfortable surroundings and food really good. Will be back.

Rare for me to order anything other than my go 2 curry - lamb rogan josh with a chilli naan, pleasently surprised with the lamb gurkha rifal, never heard of it before but I'll be ordering again.

Lovely clean restaurant, friendly staff, excellent service and fabulous food. Well worth a visit. They also provide a takeaway service.

Great food, brilliant service and fantastic ambience. Thank you Gurkha

Excellent meal. Great service and staff. Will definitely be going back.

Fantastic in every way!! The food is amazing and delicious! Superb, fresh quality ingredients! Restaurant standard food as a takeaway is unheard of usual Kay, but this is the real deal! We ordered the lamb options from the Chef’s Specialities, the delivery was prompt and...

The lady I spoke to was fantastic on the phone when I ordered.....Timely delivery and some of the best food we have ever had from a takeaway.......true restaurant grade grub delivered to the door. Would have given 6 stars if I could. Ww will be back for more!!

Just had! a takeaway thourally enjoyed it the food was amazing I arrived to early but the staff mace me feel so welcome

Tried for the first time today based off all the other good reviews. Had a rogan josh and a tikka massalla. Classic takes on both dishes, both very nice indeed. Will definitely be back.

Not had a bad meal in many visits/takeaway orders. Consistently great, tasty food best in the area.

First use of Gurka Junction, takeaway collection for our New Years Eve food, plenty of choice on the menu, lovely food (Chicken Rogan Josh, very tasty), easy order. disappointed no poppadoms which i discovered when home, hopefully not next time.

Had beautiful takeaway both meat and vegetarian. Such lovely service too.

Amazing fresh flavours!! Amazing meal thank you!

Meant to be a lamb rogan Josh, was just 4 bits of lamb and curry sauce. Found a thick black hair in my rice! Most of the meal had spilt into the carrier bag. Never again, now I'm ordering from another one. I can highly...

Outstanding food, great service, highly recommend

Went for a meal with family, thoroughly enjoyed. The food was amazing, generous portions, delicately spiced and a variety of flavours. The owner was really welcoming and attentive, making the experience something we will happily be returning for. Thanks very much!

We have just been for our first meal here since lock down, having had a few takeaways, and were not disappointed. The service was excellent, and the food amazing. The staff were very friendly, the new owner introduced himself to us and checked everything was...

Very delicious food and great service.

We visited the Gurkha junction last night and what a lovely experience we had. We received a warm welcome. The food was presented beautifully and tasted just as nice. The gentleman who served us explained that this was their first week under a new management...

Travesty!!! Went on the meerkat after being advertised and confirmed to be told At payment stage this offer wasn’t running. Very rude man after explaining that we had travelled for this. The waitress confirmed that 2 other tables had had the same problem this evening...

Absolute rip off- they advertise that they have the meerkat offer go in to eat our meal and when it comes to paying the bill they deny that they use the meerkat offer. This is an absolute disgrace and makes a mockery of the Meerkat...

Excellent food.....definitely recommend salmon palungo saag.....so tastey with the special veg rice and cheese/chilli naan bread.

Basic decor and tables, but quality, tasty food and huge portions.

Speedy Service, great food, will definitely visit again!

Great starters onion bhaji and samosas, and lamb chops from the tandoor for main course. Very tasty. Tables all socially distanced. Very busy.

Food is always good, service is excellent. Would highly recommend

We have had a second take away from here during lock down. The food is as good as eating in. We love this place, and would recommend to anyone.

Excellent food great fast service takeaway definitely recommend to a friend the curry rice nann chips everything 👍🏼

Food was nice, but service was slow, ladies toilet, only had a trickle of water to wash your hands in the basin, & the hand dryer was not working in the toilet cubicle, so had to use the one in the corridor outside the toilet. The water in the mens toilet would not turn off in the hand basin there. No parking at restaurant, had to park in narrow road next to restaurant, in front of private houses.
