Gurkha Cottage

Went here tonight for the first time in over ten years with my wife and daughter. The restaurant has new owners now and had very recently been refurbished to a very high standard. (The Trip Advisor picture of the frontage is now out-of-date.) The service was excellent, attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely brilliant. Easily the best Nepalese food in Crystal Palace currently. We started with lamb momo, onion bhaji and garlic chilli mogo. The momo were divine. The bhaji's were clearly freshly made and easily the best that I have ever tasted. The mogo were quite firm to the bite but tasty and beautifully spiced. We then had an absolutely excellent chicken tikka masala and jhinga jaffrani (tandoori king prawns) accompanied by Bombay aloo, chana masala, garlic naan bread and rice. All were truly excellent. We finished with homemade gulab jamun and rasgulla. The wine list had five decent whites and we choose the New Zealand sauvignon blanc which was excellent and had four stars on Vivino. Overall, a lovely evening meal and we will definitely be back.

Always a good meal here. Dine in is much better than delivery (but that's true for most places). They're knowledgeable about their food and dietary requirements. They're excellent on adapting for diets, particularly making items for vegans and in my case excluding mint due to allergy on request. Highly recommended.
