We went here on a Sunday evening, after initially going into the Thai restaurant just down the road. Where we we shown upstairs to a cold room which had as much atmosphere as a morgue..... after sitting there for 10 minutes, or thereabouts. I said, right thatâs it we are going, the staff didnât seem bothered, so I suppose customers must be a nuisance to them.We went up the road, to be greeted by a friendly waiter, Josh, he was very helpful, so was the other guy, but I didnât get his name.We had an excellent meal and a reasonably priced bottle of wine, in a warm room, and were made to feel welcome.Will be back...The lamb special dish was very very good.

We ordered a lamb dish calling itself Nepalese lamb to try this place, having had a poor experience here previously a few years ago. The chucks of lamb were like rubber and the onions and red/green pepper were very coarsely diced and half cooked at best, there was even part of the core of one of the peppers in the curry. This was one of the more expensive curries on the menu at £10 and I can say that there was nothing enjoyable or authentic Nepalese about it. Confirmed this to be a dodgy Indian restaurant that doesn't even try to produce decent food.

Me & my partner went to Cafe India 3 years ago. The last time we were holidaying in the area. We had a great meal with great service. What a difference this time!! There has been a quality and attitude change along with the name change to Cafe Mumbai.We had booked a table for 8.00, but arrived in Totnes around 6.30. We popped in and asked if we could have our meal earlier - particularly as it wasn't busy at that time! The unfriendly waiter mumbled something and showed us to a table. First of all the poppadoms were soft (maybe left over from lunchtime?) so we sent them back. This was sorted out ok.In general the waiting staff were unwelcoming and unfriendly. The food was nowhere near as good as on our previous visit.My partner ordered a Chicken Shaslick, When it arrived at the table, the waiter poured brandy over and set light to it. This was probably the least flavoursome Shaslick she's eaten, so a case of style over substance by the looks of it. I had the Chicken Jalfrezi, which was excellent and nicely presented last time. This one was swimming in sauce and didn't have much flavour at all. The Dhall Samba side dish was the same. In fact everything tasted the same!! The only nice thing we had, was the Garlic Naan.We eat out at Indian restaurants once or twice a week at home, and this was the worst meal we've had in a long while.Have to agree with another reviewer who said that it was 70s style food!We didn't complain at the time as we just wanted to pay up and get back to our hotel in Paignton. Particularly as we were tired after a very long journey from home, that afternoonWe didn't leave a tip, as the level of service was disappointing. One of the waiters was more interested in reading the paper. Have to say that the lady that seems to be in charge was friendly & pleasant.Won't be going back!!

My friend wanted to try Nepalese food so we went to the Nepalese Gurkha. We went on a Sunday night. The staff were really friendly. We ordered popadoms which were good. I ordered the Himalaya combination which was really tasty. The naan bread was good. The portions are big so we took some food home. Will be going back. Great family restaurant.

We are not just an ordinary Nepalese or Indian restaurant. Founded in 2004 as a take-away in Market Street, Torquay, we were the very first Nepalese Cuisine Speacialist in the whole of Torbay or Devon. We have grown from a single small takeaway to a big l

Hidden gem tucked away on a side street with an unusual view. Bhajis are delicious and the accompanying yellow sauce is fresh and light and addictive. Curries are packed full of flavour and I highly recommend the goat. Service efficient. No.1 restaurant in Paignton for me.Thank you LokiLaaLaa for the review. Glad you enjoyed the goat meat which is one of our speciality curry here and we do get lots of compliments for our bhajis as well. I will pass this review to all our staff as well and hope to see you soon in near future.
