We enjoyed their Sunday all you can eat buffet. Lovely food, lovely staff. We were made to feel very welcome and very relaxed. As it was Mother's Day I got a little, very thoughtful gift when we left. Though the selection was not big, everything was very tasty, not over salted or over spiced. The flavours came out beautifully, even in the hot spicy dishes. Very reasonably priced. Will return again!

Just had a fantastic meal at the Gurkha Palace. If you plan to visit look out for the Cheques pub, the restaurant is in the rear part of the building. I can’t understand why it wasn’t busier (Thursday night). Parking is easy and there were lots of tables free. I’m sure if it was busy I would have scored them 5 for atmosphere.

The restaurant is on outskirts of Oxford. The map does mention Inn as the address and the entry for restaurant is through the bar. The owners are Nepalese and are very welcoming and courteous. We visited on Friday evening. Seems to be very busy for delivery orders. We had to wait for 35 to 45 mins for main course. Food is nice. Presentation is good. Hygiene is very well maintained. Do recommend to visit for genuine South East Asian food. Grill and curry items are a must try.
