Do not recommend the Indian takeaway at all from here. The stir fry is nice, but the curry particularly the tikka masala and the korma I am sure is just watered-down jar sauce as it is very liquid and that's exactly how it tastes. Not worth over £10 for that and not much chicken.

Best Indian restaurant! It’s located behind the pub.

Ordered take away 7.15pm and told 45mins! Arrived 8pm and told just bagging up meal. 8.45pm find out that meal is only just being cooked! Complimentary bottle of wine and 9pm go home to discover one meal missing. Called and told meal will be delivered 15mins and 40 mins later driver calls saying here and was at wrong address! Complimentary bottle of cold beer in bag which made meal cold! Well over 3hrs from ordering to finishing meal and totally ruined my sons birthday evening I will never use this place again!!

My mom and I were visiting Oxford and craving for some Indian food to keep us warm in this weather and of course given our dietary restrictions kebabs are our best and safest bet when traveling. We came across Gurkha Palace and I was quite intrigued they served Nepali food as well and was super curious to try it. We asked the server if the restaurant would cater to cooking our curries in butter or ghee since we follow a Keto lifestyle and they were so accommodating which was a huge relief and we were so grateful for that. The menu had amazing selections and variety in Indian and Nepali dishes also labeled in their native tongue took me some time to go over it ( very well explained of course) and with the servers guidance in handy we ordered the lamb sandeko for appetizers, tandoori king prawn, butter chicken, karahi paneer for the main dish and wow the flavor of each dish was amazing the sauces were rich and delicious, the portions were great and the fact that they accommodated to our restrictions was a cherry on top. I would highly recommend visiting this hidden gem in Oxford if anyone is in the area it’s a must! We had an amazing dinner experience thank you!

Vegan daughter, hungry husband, both very happy. Lovely atmosphere. Very friendly and accommodating. Even the little dips that came with the poppadoms were exceptional. Lovely village too. Well worth the detour.

Great Nepalese resturant set within nice local pub. Very friendly owners and staff, we are always made very welcome and enjoy the excellent food. There are some really good specialty dishes on offer, the Gurkhali lamb is very good. Have been here several times and will come back when next in Oxford

The food is incredible and the family who run it are so friendly they make you feel at home. I have visited many times trying various options and have never been disappointed. Will return when I next visit the area.
