What to Eat at Gorkha Palace Restaurant How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Gorkha Palace Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Gorkha Palace Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Request mild. Tell the staff to go easy on the chillies if you do not eat spicy food; one reviewer found the spice levels high.
Avoid peak. Consider visiting outside busy periods because a reviewer waited 20 minutes for a table in the small dining room.
Try momos. For a first order, the momo platter is a practical choice: one review called it great value for money.
Order Thakali. Choose the mutton Thakali thali if you want a traditional, filling meal; one diner compared it to their grandmother’s cooking.
Check specials. Ask about less familiar Nepali dishes such as Bhutan fry, which a reviewer described as authentic and homestyle.

Common Concerns
Service inconsistency
One dinner involved repeated table changes and rude, dismissive front-of-house treatment, despite excellent food.
Quality swings
A reviewer found the chilli chicken dry, poorly flavoured and possibly made with old chicken, although the chicken momos were excellent.
Small dining room
The restaurant can fill up: one late-night diner waited 20 minutes for a table and described the place as small.
Spice levels
The food can run hot, so spice-sensitive diners may need to request milder preparation.
Chatpate portion
One reviewer found the Chatpate portion very small and the taste disappointing, despite paying 10 AED.

The Bottom Line
Gorkha Palace is a Nepalese restaurant in Al Quoz where the clearest draw is food that many diners associate with home. You can order momos, a traditional Thakali meal, jhol momos or mixed thukpa, while the menu also includes Indian and Chinese options. Reviews often describe the momos as fresh, juicy and generously filled, and the Thakali as a hearty combination of curries, rice and sides.
The atmosphere adds to the sense of place. Diners mention Nepali folk songs, wall art and a warm, welcoming feel, while several reviewers say the flavours remind them of Nepal or home cooking. Portions are generally described as satisfying; one reviewer said the biryani was enough for two, and another praised the momo platter’s value.
There are a few reasons to plan your visit rather than arrive casually. The dining room is small, and one guest waited 20 minutes for a table, so quieter hours may be easier. Spice levels can be high—ask for less chilli if needed.
Service reviews are mostly friendly, but not perfectly consistent: one dinner featured repeated table changes and rude treatment. Food quality also appears uneven in isolated cases, including a poor chilli chicken experience, so the better-supported starting points are the momos and Thakali dishes.
