3/10We booked the table with 30% discount and the restaurant said the offer not valid. We still need to wait for an hour after reservation and the food came out not hot at all. Poorly done and very disappointed
Gurkha Saldanha • Owner
Caro Max, Agradecemos por compartilhar a sua experiência e lamentamos sinceramente que a sua visita não tenha atendido às suas expectativas. Gostaríamos de esclarecer a questão em relação ao desconto de 30%. A nossa promoção é limitada a um número máximo de 20 pessoas durante a semana e 10 pessoas durante os fins de semana. Quando o limite é atingido, o desconto é automaticamente não disponível para novas reservas. A nossa recomendação é sempre verificar o e-mail de confirmação enviado pela plataforma The Fork, onde é possível confirmar claramente se a reserva foi feita com o desconto aplicado ou não. Isso garante total transparência no processo. Lamentamos também pela demora no atendimento e pelo fato de a comida ter chegado fria. Sabemos que isso pode afetar negativamente a experiência gastronómica, e pedimos desculpas pelo transtorno causado. Estamos avaliando a situação para garantir que este tipo de problema não se repita e que o nosso serviço seja mais eficiente no futuro. Atenciosamente, Krishna

8/10It was the best Indian food we have ever eaten. I gave it a 4 start because the chicken semosas were dry. Perhaps the vegetarian option would have been better.

10/10We went here twice on our 5 night stay in Lisbon. It's a lovely cozy and friendly little restaurant. Sita was charming and spoke excellent English. She was very helpful in explaining dishes and made sure that, as asked, we didn't have anything too spicy! All dishes were very tasty, good portions and reasonable prices. Advise booking as not that many covers.

9.5/10I loved it! To start, I’ve ordered the Chicken Momo. I have never eaten dumplings in an Indian restaurant. Dough filled up with minced meat and a lot of different spices. This combination matches perfectly. Exceptional! For the main dish, I‘ve chosen the Chicken Chili. This dish had the right balance between a great acidity, sweetness and spiciness. The chicken was very tender and the vegetables (paprika, onion,…) were fully covered with this rich and perfectly seasoned sauce. Wonderful! For the side, I have ordered some plain rice and naan bread. The perfect side to go with the Chicken Chili. To drink, I would recommend the Mango Lassi. This is the right drink to cool down from this spicy, well seasoned food. All in all. Amazing. If you want to experience good Indian food, I would definitely recommend this place.
Gurkha Saldanha • Owner
Dear Niklas, Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you loved your experience at Gurkha Saldanha. It’s wonderful to know that the Chicken Momo, with its perfect blend of minced meat and spices, made a great impression. We’re glad the Chicken Chili hit the mark with its balance of acidity, sweetness, and spiciness, and that the tender chicken and seasoned vegetables delighted you. Pairing it with plain rice, naan bread, and a refreshing Mango Lassi sounds like the perfect combination! Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional food, service, and hospitality, and your feedback inspires us to keep delivering the best Indian and Nepalese cuisine. We’d love to welcome you back soon to try more of our dishes. Thank you for your recommendation and for being a part of our culinary journey! Warm regards, Krishna Hamal Manager, Gurkha Saldanha
