IndianVeganAsianVegetarian NepalRestaurants
Gurkha Kitchen is a Nepalese and Indian restaurant in Carvoeiro, Algarve. Just a few minutes walk from the beach, you can enjoy authentic Nepalese cuisine here as well as delicious Indian dishes. Friendly service and a good wine list, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free dishes, as well as a take-away service make Gurkha Kitchen an excellent option for some tasty Asian food.
NEW in 2026 - Gurkha Kitchen in Portimão
Gurkha Kitchen's new restaurant is located at Oasis Parque in Portimão, a spacious country-club type setting with swimming pools, tennis courts and gardens. And now with the fresh and aromatic food created by Gurkha Kitchen to enjoy in the dinning room, on the terrace, or to take home.
Open for both lunch and dinner, the original Gurkha Kitchen is located just a few minutes walk from Carvoeiro beach. There is a small outside dining terrace and a comfortable and airy inside dining room. This is a family run restaurant with Robin and his staff taking care of the front of house and his father, Shreeram Maharjan, running the kitchen. With vast experience – he has cooked for royalty! – and immense pride in presenting authentic Nepalese cuisine, Gurkha Kitchen’s chef delivers fresh, tasty and totally delicious food. Using his own ground spices and a perfectly calibrated touch, the dishes can be spicy or not, tweaked a little to suit each diner’s preference.
Nepalese food is less well known, particularly in Portugal, than Indian food. At Gurkha Kitchen, not only do you get to sample some of the traditional dishes of Nepal’s cuisine, you are treated to a range of dishes from both cuisines.

Gurkha Kitchen also caters for younger visitors – there is a children’s menu that features Chicken Tika Masala, Honey Chicken and Fried Fish.
