Gurkha Cottage - London

The prawns tasted funky and after we told the waiters. He said that it was how it supposed to be. Clearly it wasn’t, It is not our first time eating Asian food. We were not offered a replacement dish of any sort. In the end We did not eat it and after asking for a discount the waiter felt the right to get upset with us (yes, he got upset, the poor thing and we were the one being asked to pay for bad food) he refused the discount saying that he wouldn’t do it just because we didn’t like the food?!! Good job! Keep treating your customers like that.

I don't use to write such a bad review, however they gave me no choice. I have never had such a long and mediocre experience in a restaurant. We sat at 7.30pm and the restaurant was nearly empty. After a while we ordered 2 starters and 5 main courses. The starters arrived in 20 minutes and the rest of the food at 9.40 when we were nearly leaving the restaurant after have asked few times about our order. The food was OK. Expect my order who was wrong. I received something like peas and zucchini when I asked for a mix grill. They brought me another one which was supposed to go to another table. The meat and the fish was dried and not so tasty. We ate everything because we were really starving at that point but I actually didn't finish mine, so I shared with my friends who agreed with me about the quality. We paid our bill and after that we said we should have been entitled to have a discount. The answer was that the service charged hadn't been added because of that. The service charge is optional and, of course, we weren't willing to pay for that. A discount and an apology would have been very kind and shown some respect for the customers. Inconveniences happen but the attitude was unacceptable. Please don't go. Ps:the table behind us waited 2 hrs as well, the table in our right was out in 20 minutes. Basically,everything is randomly served.

Called at 6 o’clock on a Monday evening to find the door locked and a young lady behind the bar on the phone completely ignoring us! According to your opening hours you were open at this time? Had said young lady either acknowledged us in some way when it was obvious we were wanting to eat it would have been much appreciated! Went somewhere else...you snooze, you loose!

Slightly overpriced wine but the momos are amazing, as is the tarka Dahl. Never eaten a bad meal there and their takeaway options are great too! Absolute gem! :

Visited after few years and amazed by the new decor, in fact we were confused to identify too and had delicious meal. Mix seafood in medium spicy sauce was amazing, Himchuli Vegetable was flavoursome and long and soft pilau rice with spice aromas cooked to perfection accompanied the curry very well. Manager also visited our table and had words regarding food, service and view on new decor. Memorable visit will be back soon.
