Quick info
About Gurkha House Restaurant & Bar
Gurkha House Restaurant & Bar is a Nepalese restaurant on West Terrace in Folkestone, run by Mr Laksman, who often chats with guests at the table. The kitchen serves thali, thukpa and momos, with vegetarian and vegan options alongside, and the bar pours Cobra beer and cocktails. Dogs are welcome inside (or outside when a table brings more than one), and a private dining room at the back handles groups. The team also covers breakfast, lunch and a late dinner, with food going out as late as 9.15pm. A braille menu is available for guests who need it.

“Stopped off for the night in Folkestone before a tunnel crossing and after a late arrival happened upon this wonderful place. The food was great (the thali was fantastic and the service was just wonderful, even at 9.15pm when almost everywhere else was closed. Thank you for a great evening and a lovely meal.”
