"At first glance, the restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside, and you might be forgiven for thinking it appears a bit, well, shabby. But don’t let appearances fool you. Gurkha Chef has a lot of rustic charm and serves some truly amazing food. I started with the classic Nepalese dish, Momo, which are meat-filled steamed dumplings. It’s fair to say Nepali cuisine bears some Chinese influences, and these dumplings reminded me of those I’ve had in Chinese restaurants. But the difference here was their enormous size. After tackling four gigantic dumplings, served with a flavorful chutney sauce, I was surprisingly almost full. They were incredibly succulent and generously filled—definitely a delight! For my main course, I faced a tough choice between Nepalese-style curries, primarily featuring lamb, and tandoori dishes. Not in the mood for a sauce, I opted for the grilled Chicken Tikka Kalimiri, which turned out to be excellent. It featured a double skewer of juicy chicken marinated in spiced yogurt and black pepper, accompanied by mint chutney, pilau rice, potatoes, peas, sauce, and salad. I must say, my meal was enormous. I paid less than £4 for my starter and under £10 for my main, and I honestly expected there to be some sort of catch. Not only was the food outstanding, but even I—a self-proclaimed foodie—struggled to finish it all. (Of course, I did manage to finish my meal, but it was quite a challenge.) The Nepalese are known to be some of the friendliest people in the world, and their hospitality truly stood out during my visit. I can easily see Gurkha Chef becoming a top favorite of mine during my visits to the North-East."
