Reviews for Gurkha Himalayan Kitchen Restaurant in Vancouver, BC

This place is a hidden gem on Davie! Although I haven’t tried their meat dishes, they have lots of both vegan and vegetarian... options, which I adore. We sat on the patio, which is a must, especially while summer lasts. It has a casual date night vibeand is relatively quiet because it’s not facing the road. Food was well priced, leaving my partner and I full for around $30.Portions are a decent size too! Bamboo shoots was delicious, I’d say it’s a must try vegan option, while okra was decent. Ihave no complaints and am definitely coming back! Read more

I've been there a month ago to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, and still need to think about this delicious experience. Food... was great, the patio was magical and completely empty and restaurant was nice and clean. The most outstanding was the server'sattitude. Tisha was very kind and friendly. We all had good times. I am looking forward to come again. Read more

The food and service was great. It was my first time visiting on a weekday evening and I wasn't familiar with a lot of items on... the menu. The staff helped me select something that we thought I would enjoy. Really appreciated their time and patience withme. Wait time was reasonable as well. Portions were quite generous and well packed (for take away). Food tasted great! Therewere definitely other things on the menu that I had wanted to try -- will try that next time! The only iffy part was that Isaw staff picking up a piece of frozen cake directly with her hands to put in a box to pack away. I assume they had clean handswhile picking it up, but it's still a little off-putting to see a piece of cake being man-handled. Read more

We came to this restaurant for the first time based on google reviews. The food was just average but the wait time for food... (after getting seated) is high. We ordered several things starting from the drinks which had more water and less of thejuices/spirits, jhol chicken momos were cold from inside (since the server got ours and someone else’s order together, soI’m sure not if ours were cooked and waiting), chicken chili momos were good but they could’ve been hot (temperature wise)as well, chicken chowmein was again average, chatpate (rice puffs) were missing so many ingredients as compared to thetraditional recipe.

We wanted something different while on a staycation in downtown. The chicken Momo was recommended by a good friend, and so we... took the opportunity to try it. We ordered take out to bring back to dine in our hotel suite. Along with the Chicken Momo(steamed) we also ordered Lamb Momo, Lamb and Spinach curry and Mustang Wings (Sweet & Spicy). The momos were better thanadvertised - the fillings was very generous. The dipping sauces served with them were delicious and paired well. Of note, thespice level we opted for was mild - there was almost no spice, so if you may want to up the spice level if you enjoy spicyfood. The Lamb & Spinach curry was one of the best curry dishes we've had in a long time. All was balanced, lamb was tender andthe spinach plentiful. The Mustang wings were ok. Mostly sweet and not too much spice (mild option). They were like a solidpub-style fried chicken wing. All in all a wonderful meal and we look forward to a return visit. Of note: we first tried toorder via Doordash, but was unable to do so. We then called in our order for pick up and there were no issues with that. Read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars to the place. The dumbbells here are great I would have re-ordered it immediately. The... okra platter is also perfect. The place is humble, cosy and friendly. Read more

It's the only place i know that serves Himalayan dishes here in Down town Vancouver. This was my 3rd visit to this restaurant.... The first two experience i had were good. This third time though is just average. Food were okay ish if i compare it to otherethnic dishes that serves curries. Let me start with the cocktail drinks we had...they were serve not cold and ice is rapidlymelting. Its wasn't the best and could have been improved more. We had the DD and Yogi's. The appies were okay as well. It wastasty but waiter didnt tell us that the two appies we ordered are going to be pretty similar dish. So we ended up eating twoappies that are sort of similar. Then for the main dishes, we ordered creamy chicken and spinach Lamb curries. They're notvery warm when served. But they are otherwise tasty. I would otherwise opt for regular spicy and not medium spicy as they arenot spicy at all. The lintel soup that came with the dish are good and taste refreshing. I finished it in no time. The naanbread however was not the best at all. It arrive partly heated, and when we had our first bite, i knew right then that it wasnot warmed on grill but it was heated using a microwave because of how tough and chewy it was. I complained and requested itreplaced with grilled one. The new naan that arrived were very soft a and palatable compared the first one. Overall the totalexperience was satisfactory but it could have been rated higher if there were more attention to details on the food served. Theinterior design of the restaurant could be improved well if the decors were updated and more stylish, hang some mirrors to makethe place bigger as there are no windows and make this tiny restaurant feel more claustrophobic.

This restaurant came up when I googled resturants near me while I was visiting Vancouver. I had never tried Nepalese and thought... I would give it a go. Absolutely amazing food, it was fresh and perfectly balanced. I especially liked that I could customize myspice level, my dad and I ordered different spice levels and they were both exactly what we asked for. I liked that when Isampled my dads dish (hot) that the burn did not linger. They also have great vegetarian and vegan options. I would 100%recommend this place. Read more
