Gurkha Royale Restaurant & Bar

Head up Clewer Hill towards the roundabout and you'll spot Gurkha Royale tucked away from the main drag—and that's precisely where it thrives, away from the Castle tourist bustle. You're getting proper Nepalese cooking here, not just curry-house approximations. The set lunch deals are brilliant value if you're working nearby, and the dinner menu reads like someone's actually thought about balance: expect fragrant dals, tender meat cooked low and slow, and momos that arrive steaming and properly filled. The space feels welcoming rather than fancy, with warm lighting and staff who genuinely seem pleased you've bothered to find them.
