Gurkha Fire

Kent, Chatham - Nepalese - Restaurant

Set in a former fire station under the bridge in Chatham, Gurkha Fire is a stunning, sleekly designed building with an atmospheric buzz and a bar; it also ranks comfortably among Kent's top Nepalese restaurants. Exceptional curries include a stand-out mutton katiya, slow-cooked on the bone. Fantastic homemade momo dumplings, great tandoor-grilled lamb chops, imperiously fluffy naan breads, and pitch-perfect butter chicken complete the experience.

From start to finish we were greeted kindly, prompt service, good food portions and the live music was cool.

Where to start? The food is as gorgeous as the atmosphere. An absolute local gem, with delicious food and an atmosphere that you want to keep going back to experience. From walking in, discussing menu recommendations, the Head Chef and the Owner are always on hand checking in. Every time you are made to feel as special as the last. My favourite dish on the entire menu, the Vegan Momos. It’s accompanying sauce, get out of here! And for those cheese and truffle lovers, have you ever had a Truffle and Cheese Naan? I personally haven’t due to Dietary requirements, but it’s a dish friends and family always order first. Not to worry though, a divine Truffle Roti is on offer for those looking to avoid dairy. Located on New Cut, just a couple minutes walk from Chatham Station and opposite the ‘famous’ Thomas Waghorn statue, Gurka Fire is a true culinary haven, it is the heart of Chatham.

Food is off-the-scale impeccable, the service is fantastic. With very good prices and atmosphere, it deserves to be recognised. It is the best local meal we've had in years.
