6.5/10Probably i was unlucky since they were about to close but the food was a mix of good and not great. Chamosa and Naan were great. Rice and chicken tika was not that great. Service was nice and all really friendly.

Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Gurkha São Bento was mixed — especially if it happened close to our closing time, when the kitchen might have been winding down. That said, it’s our responsibility to ensure every dish, at any hour, meets the standards we’re known for. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the Samosa and Naan — both are house favourites! But we regret that the Chicken Tikka and rice didn’t meet your expectations. Your comment has been noted and will be discussed with our kitchen team to ensure more consistency in every dish served. It’s also wonderful to hear that you appreciated our service and the friendliness of our team — we genuinely care about creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all our guests. We’d love to have the chance to serve you again at a better time of day — and to make up for this experience, we’re offering a complimentary dessert or coffee during January. Just show this review to our team.

9.5/10The food was amazing! The price/quantity is good! However there was a big group dining at the same time as us, so it was a bit loud in the restaurant. But overall amazing food and experience.

8.5/10it is good but expensive as main courses dont have side dish so eventually even with discount the price is normal...there are so many places around Lisbon with lower prices without discount

Gurkha São Bento • Owner
Dear guest, Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. I'm truly glad to know you enjoyed the evening and appreciated the beer — but I’m sorry to hear that the food didn’t quite meet your expectations and that the wait was longer than it should have been. At Gurkha São Bento, we pride ourselves on serving flavorful, freshly prepared Nepalese and Indian cuisine, and we’re disappointed to know we fell short during your visit. Your comment is a helpful reminder for us to keep improving both our kitchen timing and the consistency of our dishes. I’d love to invite you back so we can offer you the authentic experience we’re known for — and ensure a smoother and more satisfying visit. Warm regards, Manager Krishna Hamal
