7.5/10Menu has a wide choice of dishes. Reasonably priced and good quality food. Portion size is filling, but not excessive. The walls are filled with paintings of Tibetan mountains - which are colourful, if not to everyone's taste.
Gurkha São Bento • Owner
Dear Nick, Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the variety and quality of our dishes, and that the portion sizes hit the right balance for you. It’s always our goal to offer a satisfying experience where our guests leave feeling content but not overstuffed! We also truly appreciate your feedback on the décor. The paintings on our walls are inspired by the beautiful mountains of Nepal, and we chose them to bring a bit of that vibrant, natural beauty into the space. While we understand that art can be subjective, we’re glad they added a colorful and unique touch to your dining experience. We look forward to having you back soon! Warm regards, Manager Krishna Hamal
