Gurkhas Restaurant

My wife and I were looking for a place to eat around our hotel in Longmont. (We are here to see Rocky Mountain National Park.) We shun the usual chain restaurants whenever possible to patronize the local businesses. On Yelp we found Ghurkas Restaurant.It's tricky to find if you trust the direction finder in Yelp. You will find it right next to the Texas Roadhouse. Dibs was our waiter (and possibly the owner), very attentive and helpful in explaining the dishes.My wife had the fried rice special with lamb, spice level 3 (8/10). I had the tandoori chicken, spice level 3 (9/10). Good sized portions: my wife shared her rice, and I have her one of my three chicken legs.We sat inside, but there is outdoor seating. (See pics.) Parking is easy.

The owner was present and served our family. He was so nice, helped us with orders and checked back three times that all was well. He warned us that the dishes would all be spicier than most Indian meals, so counseled carefully how spicy we wanted our meals. The chickpea curry with samosa, lamb curry and goat curry were all excellent and definitely the spices were different from Indian restaurants. The naan were unquestionably the best I have ever had! The whole experience was great and we will be back.

We were staying at a hotel close by and wanted something more exciting than the usual chain restaurants in the area so we tried Gurkhas and we're glad we did! We had a sampling of appetizers and split a meal. Everything was delicious, high quality, and came out quickly. The hospitality was fantastic and we felt right at home.

I'm not an Indian cuisine connoisseur, but I thought all of our families dishes were really great. The server was extremely friendly and helpful. We live close by and will make this a frequent spot to dine at.

Ghurkas has been our go-to local Indian spot for a few years. We've loved their food for dining in and take-out. The personnel are always very friendly and hospitable. When dining in, we typically enjoy an Indian beer. While they offer many Nepalese choices, we usually crave and order the Indian dishes. Some of our favorites are the vegetarian options - veg samosas, aaloo gobi, bhindi masala, saag paneer, and chana masala. We have also had lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, and seek kabob. The meals are always accompanied by fresh cooked jasmine rice. You must order both the garlic naan and onion kulcha to eat with your meal! We will continue to patronize this lovely establishment!

This place is so good I went two days in a row! The first day I got a delicious sautéed chili momo dish which was unlike anything I've had before (I got the pork) and the masala chow chow which was soooo good. The next day I got the goat curry which was excellent and we also got the butter chicken and garlic cheese naan ($1 up-charge). They also have a local beer for only $3 a can, love it here!!! The staff is super nice and gives you great suggestions and the ambiance is super relaxed and casual. We came after a hike if that gives you an idea but also we saw some people on a date too.

Amazing food! Best Indian food I've ever had, and I've never been a fan, now this is my favorite restaurant:) The service is fast and it's a perfect little spot to eat. The tikka masala is so rich and creamy and definitely my go to along with some honey naan. Samosas are also the best I've ever had. The place is a gem.

Disappointed in Gurkhas when they have been traditionally good. Samosa was good big and tasty. Naan was fine but the lamb vindaloo, the star of the meal, had the consistency of a broth, not thick and full of spices as I expected. Super weak. Go for Flavor of India instead for the extra cost. Shame.

Been living in North of Denver for 5 years. This is the best Indian I've had thus far. Likely the best in my life.

This place is amazing! We go every Saturday and the food is delicious, consistent, and reasonably priced! Dibs will always greet you there with a smile and courtesy.
