| Gorkha Palace and the Chilli Eating Comp crowd |
We celebrated my brother-in-law, Daniel's birthday at Gorkha Palace in Gladesville (they also have a sister restaurant in North Strathfield). Little did we know, it was also their annual Chilli Eating Competition night; it's the third year, and according to the manager it just gets bigger and bigger.
Luckily the riotous goings-on in the function room next door wasn't too distracting, allowing our group of seven to have a pretty good time.

| Butter chicken |
Diners won't find too much to complain about at Gorkha, the menu has a good variety of your favourites, like the butter chicken. We had seven dishes and they're all pretty safe bets, not too spicy but still had enough flavour.

| Veg curry |
Likewise the vegetarian curry won't challenge you too much and was cooked nicely... the potato was a melting sensation.
My favourite was the dumplings but sadly the low lighting and my photography rendered the pics unuseable.

| Mango kulfi |
Desserts seemed to be a special emphasis so we tried a couple of the kulfis, mango and pistachio. Again, nice, competent although a little on the small side.

Gorkha is a safe bet, the understated but authentic decor provides a great dining backdrop. The menu is extensive - it won't challenge you, but diners won't go away disappointed either.
