Gurkha Chef

Wow, what a find. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the food was amazing. The Lamb Khasi was to die for. Had the Kothe starter, along with Chow Chow and Bhutan. All delicious.

Very good service and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back.

Wr have randomly discovered this place on our day spent by St Leonards Beach.
Great selection of food, generous portions, and the staff delivered great lunch service
We had a selection of curry, lamb , and a few side dishes!
Worth passing by

Came here on my own while on holiday. Beautiful food full of flavour and not too expensive, and staff were very friendly and welcoming. The layout is clean and welcoming, it looks like it has been repainted and feels clean and fresh. It has music playing quietly from where I sat. Seemed to have a flow of customers that knew the staff so obviously regulars which is an encouraging sign.

My wife & I had a great meal here the other day. It was a Monday so not many places open in St Leonards. We had eaten here before but not for quite a while. The food was really delicious. The staff were very friendly & efficient & the general atmosphere good although we would have preferred the music to be a little more authentic rather than 1970's English chart music. Would highly recommend.

What a lovely Resturant and food was fantastic would go again

Absolutely awesome place if you are an Asian or Indian looking for authentic dishes. Arletta is a friendly lady there to serve you and offcourse other staff are very helpful too. The Chef does a good job cooking authentic dish with all the necessary spices.
The place is small but very cozy and warm with a beautiful sea view.

Oh my goodness, the food here was D I V I N E, with views of the sea whilst we enjoyed our food and drink was also very special! Favourite starter was the ‘vegetable pakoda’ well seasoned, lovely fresh and crispy and served with a delicious dipping sauce. The main that stole the show was ‘Gurkha Chilli’ which we had with lamb. My word the lamb was so unbelievably tender and seasoned to absolute perfection. I think it may have been the single most delicious lamb dish I have ever tried in my life. Just melt in the mouth fabulous with a nice kick. Popadums were light crispy and a lovely garlic naan too! Congrats Gurkha Chef you have just taken my number one spot for St Leonards 🌟
There was some drama with the staff - but dinner and a show is how we saw it. Nothing was going to detract from the amazing work of the chefs!!!

Absolutely glorious food! Friendly staff, wealth of selection, sensibly priced and again, cannot stress this enough, a dining experience worthy of all the praise.
Try the rim-jim chicken and the chicken noodle soup. Lentil dhal also wonderful. Thank you for a memorable meal!

One of our favourite restaurants in the Hastings area. Really good food and lots of vegan options.
Also great views of the sea!

When I tell you I moved away from Hastings 3 years ago and still think about the food at Gurkha Chef (especially the momo), I am not kidding. The only place where monthly on payday we absolutely ordered from here without fail. Still thinking about Gurkha Chef to this day - I recommend EVERYONE to order from here - never been disappointed and only wish they were able to move with me 🥰

Great food as always, one of our group on this particular visit has specific food ntolerances, both the Chef & Waiter took their time to fully understand this & made sure we all had a tasty meal. Thanks will be back again.

Such a beautiful restaurant with the most delicious food. Service is the best and Arleta makes your dining experience one you’ll not forget. She’s nothing short of amazing. Try it you won’t be disappointed. 🌺

Had a takeaway here 16th Feb 2023. So much nicer than the usual boring tandoori style restaurants. Clean, fresh, distinctive flavours galore, all at a reasonable price. Wish we had something like this near where we live. Will definitely come here again when we visit Hastings again.

Lovely restaurant right on the seafront. It was hired out in its entirety for a Xmas party meal for just over 30 guests, but this is also a perfect restaurant for an intimate dinner for two too. The staff were absolutely delightful and so attentive. The food as ever was superb (it always is!). The chicken Rim Jim is to die for! Thank you Gurkha Chef!

Food was excellent staff very friendly.
Lots of new food to try staff very helpful with my choice.
Defo recommend.
Thanks for a lovely evening.

Another excellent meal and very reasonable prices. Best restaurant in Hastings for a curry in my opinion.

Perfect food and very friendly staff 👌🏽

Always the best experience, come away from this lovely restaurant with an over whelming feeling of satisfaction thank you 😊

An authentic and intimate Nepalese restaurant on St Leonard's sea front.

Food is well cooked and presented, with authentic flavours and dishes. Love the cashew nut Himalayan curry.

A great alternative to the many Indian curry houses.
