Gurkha INDIAN & NEPALESE CUISINE Gurkhas are world famous soldiers, highly prized in the British Army and known for their bravery and courage. They come from the mountainous country of Nepal, which nestles in the Himalyas, bordering Tibet in the North, and India on it s southern foothills. Nepal has many geographical regions and this is reflected in the preparation of food which varies from region to region. However, the common factor is the use of spices and flavouring such as ginger, garlic, turmeric (ayurvedic herbs powder), peppers, chillies, cumin, coriander, cilantro and fresh herbs. We use a charcoal clay oven and all food is prepared daily and carefully cooked to your order - Please be patient whilst we prepare your dishes.
