bland and uninspiring
This is not as interesting a restaurant as one might hope. Either Nepalese and Himalayan cuisine is a staid and bland cousin of its Indian counterparts or the chef has an uninspired interpretation of its traditions.Like at least one other Gurkha restaurant in Winchester, the name is a an army reference to the base in town. It's an understandable retirement plan for a Nepalese soldier serving far away from home. Unfortunately, what probably seemed wonderful cooking in the mess hasn't translated seamlessly to the more demanding kitchen of a chef.The menu choice is very wide, a weakness of most middling curry houses. There is the standard gamut of Indian classics tailored to the takeaway crowd and a surprisingly large selection of chef specialities. My unmemorable encounter with one of these (I forget which) was disappointing. My girlfriend had a lot more luck with a sizzling clay oven cooked chop of lamb.This is not a bad restaurant, if it were a little cheaper I would give it three stars. As a takeaway it will probably serve you quite adequately. It's quite possibly even the best in Winchester.

First time for me!
I have never been to a restaurant of this nature before so i really didn't know what to expect. A few friends of mine insisted that i try it and dragged me along after a few beers one night. I have to say, i was pleasantly suprised! Its very warm in the restaurant so don't go in several layers though! However once you walk into the restaurant you are met with wonderful smells and aromas. The staff are friendly and approachable and always there when you need them. There is a huge choice of food to choose from and the prices are ridiculously cheap!
