Gurkhas Brother

If you ever find yourself in Chatham and crave bold flavors, warm hospitality, and a taste of Nepalese and Indian cuisine done right, Gurkhas Brother on 1 Whiffen’s Ave is one of those rare gems that locals cherish and visitors rave about. Whether you’re in the mood for a spicy curry, a filling biryani, or some crispy momos fresh out of the steamer, this spot has it all-with soul.

Let’s start with the vibe. Gurkhas Brother isn’t one of those overly polished places trying too hard. It’s casual, cozy, and real. Think of it as the kind of restaurant where you walk in for a solo dinner, end up chatting with the staff, and leave planning your next visit. The staff is friendly, the service is consistent, and the whole place has that authentic, “welcome to our kitchen” energy. For anyone needing accessibility, it offers wheelchair-accessible seating, though the entrance itself isn’t quite adapted-something to note ahead of time.

If you’re wondering what to order, you’ll be spoiled for choice. A few dishes are practically non-negotiable. The Lamb Curry is rich, slow-cooked, and beautifully spiced without being overwhelming. Pair it with their fluffy Pilau Rice and a warm Keema Naan, and you’ve got a dinner that’s comforting and memorable.

But here’s where things get interesting-Momos. These Nepalese dumplings are steamed or fried to perfection, with fillings that explode with flavor. Whether you’ve had them before or it’s your first time, Gurkhas Brother sets the bar high. It’s one of the most loved items on their menu, often highlighted in local food reviews and Google listings.

On the Indian side, the Chicken Tikka Masala and Tandoori Mixed Grill are fan favorites. The Tandoori platter is especially great if you want to try a bit of everything-from sizzling chicken to juicy kebabs. And for vegetarians or those who prefer plant-based dishes, the Tadka Dal, Sag Aloo & Mushroom Bhaji, and Roasted Paneer are excellent choices. They also serve vegan dishes, halal food, and small plates if you're more into grazing than feasting.

Now, about the drinks-yes, they serve alcohol. Whether it’s a House Shiraz, spirits, cocktails, or just a chilled beer to cool down the heat from your curry, you’re covered. They also offer free water refills, which is a nice touch, especially when you're diving into something spicy.

The restaurant caters well to different dining preferences-dine-in, takeaway, and even no-contact delivery, which is perfect if you just want to enjoy a good meal from the comfort of your home. They’re open for lunch and dinner, and they’re surprisingly popular for both. This place works whether you’re grabbing a quick solo lunch, treating your family to dinner, or ordering a late-night bite. Yes, they’re open late too, which isn’t something you get often around here.

And dessert? Don't leave without trying the Matka Kulfi-a traditional Indian ice cream served in a clay pot. It’s creamy, slightly nutty, and just the right amount of sweet. For those who want something lighter, their Tomato Soup or Chickpea Potato on Puri can be a gentle way to wrap things up.

Another small but smart detail-they offer catering. So, if you’re planning a party, event, or office gathering and want to impress with something beyond the usual finger food, their menu travels well and delivers quality across the board.
