I have eaten in Gurkha Grill once before, which was lovely, however, last night I went and was very disappointed. I was in a large group and we arrived at 8 as agreed. Our food order was not taken until 9 and we waited till about 10 for it. I asked for table water and was told that they do not provide it but I could buy a tiny bottle of Volvic, which costs 40p at a local supermarket, for £1.50! I pointed out to the waiter that another table had a jug of water - he said it was lemonade! Then I reminded him he was legally obliged to provide tap water so he said he would get his manager. A jug of water promptly arrived! There were many things wrong with the service. For example we ordered a bottle of wine which arrived but we had to ask for glasses to drink it. We were charged £18 for poppadums. The food was nice but overpriced. Like I said I ate here a while ago when it was much smaller and had a lovely meal but I won't be going again now. There are other Nepalese restaurants on Burton Road and I would suggest you try one of them instead of Gurkha.
