Himalayan Gurkha

Himalayan Gurkha is the long-running Nepalese restaurant on Macklin Street, opened in December 2009 and the only Gurkha Nepalese room in Derby holding a five-star Food and Hygiene rating. The kitchen menu is built around Nepalese specialities — momo dumplings, sekuwa grilled meats, Himalayan thali sets — alongside the wider sub-continental Indian dishes most British diners know, with tandoor work for starters and a substantial vegetarian section. Reviewer feedback on Tripadvisor regularly picks out the momos and the thali as the dishes that mark the room out from the standard Derby curry-house pack, with a recurring "slice of Kathmandu" framing in the longer reviews. The dining room is laid out for sit-down service and sits a five-minute walk from the centre, and the kitchen offers online ordering with a takeaway discount alongside the dine-in trade.
