Located at 24 The Broadway, Newbury, the Gurkha Chef menu offers a delightful mix of traditional Nepali and Indian flavors in a welcoming and relaxed setting. The restaurant is a hidden gem in the heart of Newbury, known for its warm hospitality and commitment to serving fresh, flavorful dishes that bring the best of South Asian cuisine to the table.
The Gurkha Chef menu is diverse, featuring a variety of dishes that highlight the unique flavors of Nepal alongside classic Indian favorites. Starters include crispy momos (Nepali dumplings), pakoras, and tandoori kebabs, all made with fresh ingredients and bold spices. The main menu is a feast for the senses, with options ranging from mild, creamy curries like butter chicken and korma to more robust and spicy dishes like vindaloo and jalfrezi. The restaurant's signature Nepali dishes, such as Gurkha-style lamb curry and chicken saag, provide an exciting twist on traditional Indian flavors, with unique spices and fresh herbs that make them stand out. The Gurkha Chef menu also offers a selection of tandoori specialties, biryanis, and vegetarian dishes like dal tadka and aloo gobi, ensuring that there’s something for every palate.
During my visit, I tried the Gurkha-style lamb curry with garlic naan and a side of pilau rice. The lamb was tender, slow-cooked in a flavorful sauce that was rich but not overwhelming, with just the right balance of spice. The garlic naan was soft and aromatic, and the rice was fluffy, providing a perfect base to soak up the curry. Many other diners seemed to enjoy the chicken tikka masala and the vegetarian thali, which are both highly recommended.
Service at Gurkha Chef is friendly and attentive, with staff eager to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, making it a great value for money.
For anyone in Newbury looking to experience authentic Nepali and Indian flavors, the Gurkha Chef menu offers a consistently delicious dining experience that’s perfect for any occasion.
