Great food

Always yummy food and knowledgeable staff. Make sure you ask for items like roti without butter. The mint chutney has yogurt in it and the samosas have butter in the crust.

Pros: Many vegan options , Friendly staff , Many menu items are marked vegan

Cons: Not all menu items are marked vegetarian , Beer choices could be better , Service can be slow, allow extra time if rushed

3.5 stars

I got the tofu aaloo curry to-go. Food was ready upon arrival and piping hot. Order was $17 $3.50 surcharge through Chownow, and I received the curry and the rice each in their own 2-cup capacity containers. I thought the flavor was just okay - somewhat bland. The rice on the side was just plain basmati. The menu on their website made it clear which options are vegan but the ordering portal did not.

Based on the flavor and price, I probably won't make a special trip to return (just passing through town on a road trip).

15 years and going

This has been a favorite spot for some time. Wish I had known about them sooner. Want spicy? They can deliver, or also tone it down if that’s your style.

Some of the best

I love Indian/Nepali food and this place has amazing grub. I recommend going during lunch for a cheaper go at it.

Good Himalayan cuisine with veg*n options

Gorkha palace offers well-prepared Nepali, Indian, and Tibetan cuisine, including plenty of veg*n options. The veggie momos are particularly good. If it were purely vegetarian, it would be near the top of list for the MSP area.

Service is friendly and there's free parking in the lot out front.

Pros: Several tasty veg*n options, friendly service

Cons: Serves meat

Awesome Nepali and Indian Food

Gorkha Palace is one of our favorite restaurants in Minneapolis. They serve delicious food from Nepal, Tibet, and India. There are vegan, vegetarian, and meaty items all clearly marked on the menu, so there is something for everyone.

It’s usually full on the evenings and weekends. If you have a party of at least four, they will take a reservation. Thursday nights they have a live sitar playing. Get there early to get a table.

The artwork on the walls all comes from Nepal. Take a moment to walk around and look at it if you can. My favorite is the painting of the real Gorkha Palace in Nepal.

Crispy papadam is frequently brought out for free as an appetizer to dinner.

Our favorite drink is the spiced black tea. We like it black and extra strong.

The veggie pakora is our favorite appetizer. It is a crispy, chickpea battered, fried collection of cabbage, onions, and jalapenos with some mint and tamarind chutney on the side. I like mine plain; my wife likes hers with the chutney.

My wife’s favorite is the Chyau Takari which was recently removed from the menu, but you can still order it. She loves the medley of mushrooms and spices.

My favorite is Channa Saag is very similar to the Channa Masala in that it has chickpeas and potatoes in a curry gravy, but with added spinach it goes great with some garlic roti. Hariyo Saag is my second favorite. It is seasonal leafy greens in curry with ginger and garlic.

Staff is great and there is usually parking in the lot if you get there early.

Pros: Tasty Food, clearly labeled menu items, friendly staff

Go Gorkha!

My boyfriend and I eat hear regularly and love this place! The staff is very friendly and the food is always high quality and gives generous portions. Their entrees are divided into two sections: "vegetarian" and "non-vegetarian"(love that). You must get the veggie pakora- so wonderfully crispy and served with two chutneys (one is a spicy mint and the other is slightly sweet tamarind). I have been going here since they opened and I have never been disappointed. They are truly committed to quality and customer service.

Pros: vegan items, excellent food, friendly staff
