Gurkha Cafe & Restaurant

At Gurkha Café & Restaurant, guests are invited to savour the rich culture and vibrant flavours of Nepal without leaving Edinburgh’s Old Town.

With its inviting interior, equal parts cosy and culturally inspired, this family-run spot makes you feel right at home, providing the perfect backdrop for exploring authentic Nepalese and Indian cuisines.

The carefully curated menu showcases standout dishes like lamb choila: tender lamb pan-fried with Nepalese spices, red onion, capsicum, and coriander, served cold. Or a flavour-packed prawn biryani brimming with king prawns.

For a taste of Indian classics, try the comforting chicken korma, slow-cooked with almonds and coconut milk, or the ever-popular chicken tikka masala with fluffy rice.

Whether you’re drawn in by bold flavours or the welcoming atmosphere, Gurkha Café & Restaurant is an Edinburgh gem that delivers on all fronts. One visit and it just might become your new favourite spot.
