Tucked away in the cozy neighborhood of Herttoniemi, Ravintola Gurkha at Hiihtäjäntie 1 is more than just a place to eat—it’s a journey into the heart of Nepalese hospitality and flavor. Since opening our doors, we’ve been on a mission to bring Helsinki a vibrant, soulful, and diverse culinary experience rooted in the rich traditions of Nepal.
🌄 A Lunch Experience That Feels Like Home
At Gurkha, we do lunch a little differently. There’s no buffet, but what we offer is far better—a changing daily lunch menu designed to bring variety, freshness, and choice to your midday meal.
Choose from a wide range of flavorful dishes, from comforting curries to vibrant vegan and vegetarian options, all crafted with fresh ingredients and authentic spices. And to complement your plate, we provide a generous salad buffet—not just greens, but a curated table of:
- Fresh salads and house dressings
- Handmade chutneys that awaken your palate
- Creamy mango lassi
- Nepalese-style tea and fresh-brewed coffee
It’s a mindful, satisfying, and flavorful lunch—perfect whether you’re grabbing a quick meal or lingering a little longer with friends.
🍛 From Nepal with Love
Every dish on our menu tells a story. Whether you’re enjoying a classic Chicken Tikka Masala, a hearty Vegan Biryani, or one of our beloved Tofu specialties, you’ll taste the depth of Nepalese culinary heritage. We use traditional techniques and ingredients while also embracing today’s dietary needs—with plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices.
Our signature thalis offer a complete experience in one plate—rice, naan, salad, chutneys, main dish, and a little something sweet to end the meal.
🫶 More Than a Meal—It’s an Atmosphere
Warm lighting, peaceful music, friendly faces—Gurkha is designed to feel like home. Whether you’re coming for a quiet solo lunch, a relaxed dinner with loved ones, or even picking up takeaway, we strive to give you the same thing every time: comfort, connection, and care.
Our passionate team is always ready to guide you through the menu and help you discover your next favorite dish.
