| Gorkha Palace and the Chilli Eating Comp crowd |
We celebrated my brother-in-law, Daniel’s birthday at Gorkha Palace in Gladesville (they also have a sister restaurant in North Strathfield). Little did we know, it was also their annual Chilli Eating Competition night; it’s the third year, and according to the manager it just gets bigger and bigger.
Luckily the riotous goings-on in the function room next door wasn’t too distracting, allowing our group of seven to have a pretty good time.

| Butter chicken |
Diners won’t find too much to complain about at Gorkha, the menu has a good variety of your favourites, like the butter chicken. We had seven dishes and they’re all pretty safe bets, not too spicy but still had enough flavour.

| Veg curry |
Likewise the vegetarian curry won’t challenge you too much and was cooked nicely… the potato was a melting sensation.
My favourite was the dumplings but sadly the low lighting and my photography rendered the pics unuseable.

| Mango kulfi |
Desserts seemed to be a special emphasis so we tried a couple of the kulfis, mango and pistachio. Again, nice, competent although a little on the small side.

| Pistachio kulfi |
Gorkha is a safe bet, the understated but authentic decor provides a great dining backdrop. The menu is extensive – it won’t challenge you, but diners won’t go away disappointed either.

desserts looks interesting! haven't tried many Indian desserts before.. always too full after too much of naan bread to finish off the butter chicken gravy .. heehee..
Yep, I know the feeling… them naans are irresistible
I passed this place once or twice before whe living in Sydney. Looked and sounded great 🙂
should give it a go Anh, but bear in mind it's a safe bet sort of a place
