9/10Nam bread amazing. Food super tasty. Staff super friendly. Just the pistachio ice cream was not what I expected…used to the Italian kind. 😅
Gurkha São Bento • Owner
Dear Tania, Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed the naan bread, our flavorful dishes, and the warm service provided by the team — it means a lot to us! Regarding the pistachio ice cream, we appreciate your honest feedback. Our version has a slightly different style from the classic Italian gelato, and we completely understand how personal taste and expectations can vary. We'll take your comment into consideration as we continue refining our dessert offerings. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon for another delicious visit. Warm regards, Manager Krishna Hamal

8/10
The main course was unfortunately a bit bland based on my usual expectation from Indian restaurants, even after I asked for it to be spicy. My starter of prawn was great, my Prawn karai for main, although being a chef's recommendation, had prawns that were unfortunately overdone and the karai was somewhat bland. I must say my friend's lamb was very lovely and seasoned. Don't hesitate to order the Mango Lassi. it is one of the best I have tasted in my life. Regarding the mak , maybe it was a rare occurrence but the experience was average.
