Huge thanks to Srijana and Shriti! You both are just as wonderful as the food you serve. We loved the lamb curry and the chicken tikka masala—that sauce is perfect for the garlic naan. It was, in two words, absolutely delicious. Thank you for another great meal!

Food was average, service incredibly slow! We were served Nan bread 45 minutes before anything else, starter came eventually, cold & tasteless! Mains were below average at best!

A friendly place with welcoming staff. Unfortunately the meat was extremely dry. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Mango, Mixed Grill Tandoori as well as some Samosas and Naan. With the first 2 dishes, the flavourful sauce compensated for the dryness of the meat. The Mixed Grill Tandoori was to tough to enjoy. The Naan was good, the Samosas were nice. But even with the 50% discount the value for money isn't there. We still had an enjoyable evening and as mentioned the staff was outstanding.

Really great food and friendly staff! The only down point was that it was a little bit noisy (probably because there was a big table with around 10 people that night)

Soggy crusted shrimp appetizer. Possibly air fried or just warmed up. Not appetizing at all! For the entrees our waiter asked how spicy; we requested medium spice. There was no heat whatsoever. Just sweet. My entree was luke warm and cold half way through the meal and had to be warmed up. First Indian restaurant where I had a masala where the sauce was not kept warm in a Angeethi. The rice was served on a plate and not in a bowl so it was cold too. Very disappointing experience.

Probably 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.
Gurkha São BentoDear 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.

The 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.

Really nice local Indian with friendly staff and tasty food :)
8.5
it 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
