Gurkha Restaurant Barnstaple

You'll find yourself on Market Street, right in the thick of Barnstaple's high street, walking into something that feels genuinely different. The kitchen here takes Nepalese food seriously—not the anglicised curry-house version you might expect, but the real thing. Locals have been talking about this place for good reason: the momos are handmade, the spice levels aren't messing around, and they've clearly got technique. It's the sort of restaurant that makes you realise what's been missing from the town's eating scene.
