THE GURKHA KITCHEN

The Gurkha Kitchen is the kind of place that makes you think, ‘Why don’t I eat here more often?’ It’s a curry haven with a stellar hygiene score and reviews that sing praises louder than a karaoke night. John Du was all smiles after takeout, enjoying flavors that hit hard in all the right spots. Anya M. felt right at home with the yellow dal, while Darcy Watkins appreciated the attentive service for their large table. Just make sure to try their momos; they’re apparently a culinary blessing.

But don’t get too comfortable—some might find the spice levels a bit wild, and it's not necessarily cheap, so be prepared to loosen that purse string. Still, if you’re in Exeter, this is a solid option for getting that curry fix.
