About GURKHA - NORTHAMPTON
GURKHA - NORTHAMPTON is a family-owned Nepalese restaurant in Northampton, at 11 Mare Fair. The menu draws on the cooking of the Himalayas and nods to the heritage of the Gurkhas. Traditional Nepalese specialities sit alongside classic Indian favourites, so one table can mix both styles in a single meal. Curries are the focus, built around bold spices. The dining room serves sit-down meals for everyday visits and special occasions.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the food, calling it delicious and spot on, with authentic flavours and bold spices. One returning diner says it reminds them of home, and another calls it the best curry spot in Northampton at the moment. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, warm, welcoming, attentive and polite. The lovely ambience and light decor come up repeatedly, and one couple who found it on the walk from the train station liked that it is family-owned. Another visitor stumbled on it because it opened earlier than most evening restaurants and noted the quality from the napkins to the customer service. Several say they will definitely be back, and one reviewer who has visited three times since the opening says the food has reminded them of home each time. No recurring complaints appear in the reviews.

“Oh wow, what a lovely experience we’ve just had! I was travelling with my partner from Milton Keynes, and by the time we got off the train, we were absolutely starving. As we made our way towards Northampton town centre, this lovely restaurant caught our eye with its amazing light decor, so we decided to give it a go. What can I say? It felt like we’d struck gold! The food was absolutely fantastic, and the beautiful ambience made the whole experience even better. We also found out that it’s a family-owned restaurant, which made the experience feel even more special. We’re so glad we decided to give it a try, and we’ll definitely be coming back the next time we’re in Northampton. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food in a lovely atmosphere!”
