    Not sure about the food because we have not eaten yet....but either way will not be back...6.30 restaurant empty....we sat at a nice table by the window getting full effect of the air con...we where told the table is for 4 people,,when I pointed out the restaurant was empty we where told it didn't matter. We are 2 big lads so would have appreciated some understanding. It's our first time here but regardless of the food we won't be back.. They may regret there attitude when winter comes.... we have a company here and would have bought our clients and suppliers But not now.. As a fair reviewer and restaraunr and hotel owner it is important that I give a clear review.. I choose to edit my review and to clarify some points in fairness to people reading reviews. Firstly I should have added that the table we sat at was apperantly booked for 8pm...even when we said we would vacate the table by 7.30 the owner still refused to allow us to use the table.....He also told us that all the larger tables had been reserved...This proved not to be true as a family walked into the restaraunr who hadn't booked and got a table. People reading this must think it's rather petty but I can't ever remember being refused a table that wasn't needed for nearly 2 hours. Can I also add that I find the owners response to the review rather childish, sarcastic and speaks volumes about his attitude. Now the positives. the lamb Madras was up there with the very best I've had anywhere the lamb was succulent and tender, and I have been eating curries for over 50 years and have actually worked in an Indian restaurant in the UK. The pilau rice was bland and when I was asked about my meal I did mention that I thought the rice needed so flavouring,, cardamon, aniseed and some methi would help.. If only we could go back and sit at a table that was comfortable for us to sit at. But I'm sure we wouldn't be allowed to sit where we would like,,, But with the owners attitude I'm sure I'm not welcome. Shame really....

    Nice and polite staff. The all spoke English very well and even engaged in some light banter. Pretty neat interior. The food was really good. Exceeded my already high expectations. We were 4 people who shared 4 main courses, 4 different types of rice and 4 types of Naan. Perfect combination! I can strongly recommend the chilly garlic king prawns. Amazing. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

    To be honest we have not eaten....we 12 couples all enjoying our hoiday but not always choosing to eat together... We where flabbergasted to read that when you dine in this restaraunt you cant choose to eat where you want. When I read the review I thought there must be something more to this but I called the restaraunt and told them I was cominh with my husband but would like to have a larger table as my husband is quite a large man.....I was told rudely we could only have a table for 2' even though I wanted to book for 6'pm. All our group wouod have dined there at least once and we had planned to go one night as a group of 24... I can tell the owner no one from our group will be visiting this restaraunt. We are all from Asian background or married into it. We normally pride ourselves for our hospitality '''what a huge dissapoinment you are ..The Owner. Having just read some other reviews going back in time it seems the owner has a history of this

    Best Indian restaurant I have visited anywhere in Spain. Dishes were authentic, ingredients fresh and food well spiced. Service is good, but I wish there were more tables as booking is essential. Give the chef a rise! They deserve it.

    Superb! We called in this evening on the off chance they would have seating outside as we had our little dog with us.....we were thrilled that they did and even more thrilled with the outstanding food that was served! The best Nepalese Gurkha restaurant we've ever eaten at (and we've eaten at quite a few across EU, UK and India!!) Thank you also to the fantastic staff who were excellent! They engaged really well with all the customers and took time to have a proper chat.....if we could give this restaurant, the food and staff 10 stars...we would! No doubt we'll be back when we visit again...thank you for a great evening of authentic Gurkha Nepalese food and service!! 👏👏👏

    Not been here for over a year as we moved out of the area. We visited the dog beach close by and dropped in for a cheeky curry. I'd forgotten how good the food is here, definitely the best curry in the Alicante/Murcia areas. The butter chicken is to die for, such good service too

    I love this restaurant, the food is delicious, the meat is tender, the sauces just right. I may be a bit biased as we're fairly regular clients here. The staff are obliging and polite. We travel to eat here. Must be worth it.

    The food here is absolutely scrumptious!! The poppadoms and salad/ chutneys are the best I've ever tasted. Nice level of spice and heat. The mains were all perfect too, chicken and lamb beautifully tender and well spiced. The family who run this restaurant are lovely. They work really hard to provide a great experience, it's obvious they care about their customers, -and it's much appreciated. We live in the area and will definitely be regulars and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this great little restaurant!

    This restaurant was recommended by our neighbour so we went on a Sunday evening. The staff were super friendly, polite and efficient. We had starters and mains and struggled to finish our dishes. Fantastic flavours with a very good but subtle use of spices. Definitely go again.

    Fantastic Nepalese cuisine. We have been coming here for about six years and it was about time we praised this great restaurant. We have dined in restaurants in central London and this is on par if not better than the best of them. Enjoy! Pablo and Family

    For me this food was just above average. Our chicken starter was like chewing rubber and when mentioned to whom I presumed was the owner he leans into my wife and starts grabbing at the pieces of chicken and rubbing it between his fingers. After agreeing with us he made no further comment and no offer to replace. The mains arrived and were quite acceptable but not exceptional.

    One of the best curries I've had outside the UK 🇬🇧. Totally recommend. We had butter chicken and chilli garlic chicken and its was stupendous! omg came back today and it's the best curry we've had in Spain. we drove down from Orihuela (benejuzar) especially for this curry as it's sooooo good. nothing like it up in Valenciana, we know we've tried them all!! fantastic 😍

  • 5/5 *** 8 months ago on Google
    We had never had Nepalese food before the flavors are fantastic, went twice during our holiday, and probably best meals we had in los Alcázares, service was first class they give you popadoms and dips to start then we had oinion bhajis , we then all had curry for main three chicken Tika, and my wife and I had there Nepal specialty dishes, one wad lovely lamb curry with mint and Nepalese spices, then there version of Tandoori chicken massive chunks comes on hot skillet with onions and Nepalese flavored sauce to go with it and mushroom pilau rice, food was excellent, with two rounds of drinks some alcoholic and some soft drink the bill came to 90 euro for five people, and we were all full, definitely go if your in the area , far better than restaurants in the center of Los Alcázares.

    Absolutely the best curry I have ever had... Have eaten here a number of times highly recommend ecommend this restaurant!

  • 2/5 Angela S. 10 months ago on Google
    I have eaten here many times before and really enjoyed it but the experience I had this time was awful so the meal I ordered butter chicken was not almond tasting at all instead it was like a sweet barbecue sauce which may be OK if you like bbq sauce. The owner I think it was did not accept my opinion on the dish but went on making excuses as to why it tasted that way. The good ser ice thing to do would be to offer another dish but no he stood arguing his point at the table in front of other diners which I found rude and embarrassing 😳

    Love it they have great indian food and good service. The kitchen opens a bit later than the restaurant so it's good to be aware of that. Well worth a visit. My kids love it.

  • 1/5 Jo G. 1 year ago on Google
    We've been here for week now and decided to try this place as smelt nice when we've walked past , we just turned up not knowing u had to book but he did find a table for us (3 adults 2 kids) .this was at around 9:30 Drinks order taken quickly and poppadoms brought out this was at 10pm , ,and still our order not taken We finished our poppadoms and still no order taken for starters or main meal Eventually order taken ,we got our starter which looked OK salad was a bit sad looking tho, bhaji was nice ,we watched other tables be served but still no sign of ours ,I asked the young girl and suddenly got ours ,looked OK and tasted OK but I must say I've had better while in Spain and the UK .a table of 10 behind us got their food before us yet came in after . The manager I presume he was came over said sorry for wait as busy ,yes I suppose it was but waiting 2 hours is ridiculous, I think u need more waiting staff on a weekend maybe get things done quicker Won't be back sorry

    Probably the best Indian food I've ever had and the service was spot on. Well done.

  • 5/5 Ariane S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food excellent, what is sad, is that we were received with a warning that they were closing at 16h with a voice, when it was only 14h45. But after that all was perfect even when sharing my veterian food with my vegan food the guy adviced us that my food contained butter

  • 5/5 Gary B. 1 year ago on Google
    A great Nepalese/Indian restaurant in Los Alcázares. Staff are very friendly and service is always very good and fast. Food is delicious and varied. Well worth a visit (or two).

  • 5/5 Lee C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is now the third we've visited this restaurant in a few short weeks and the food has always been top notch. Absolutely full of flavour and each dish we've had has been unique in flavour. The service and staff are very friendly, professional and a credit to the owner Khim. Highly recommended and is it is now a firm fixture in our favourites list. 5 stars all the way.

👍 Excellent place to see the sunset, since it is in a privileged place. We had a few cocktails but did not have dinner, although their menu is extensive and appetizing, their prices are extremely expensive for the area.

👍👍 5/5! I tried the Champion pizza without the Champignon like an Hawaii. It was really good! The dough was really well done with its crispy sides and thin bottom. I recommend! My partners took the Dos Mares and it was just as good!
