There's absolutely no doubt we love curry in Wales and for those from a hilltop community between Pontypridd and Llantrisant a restaurant with a difference has been impressing food-lovers with authentic Nepalese cuisine.
Found inside a classic pub setting, with the odd Nepal trinkets dotted around the large front room that feels as familiar as the place you spent your teenage years coming for a cheeky half, Gurkha Hill has been at the former The Crown Inn pub in Llantwit Fardre since late 2021 and fuses Nepalese curries, street food and skewered meat alongside familiar Indian and Chinese classics.
Owned by Yogen Gauchan and his partner Laxmi, the Welsh-Gurkha history stretches back years, with a huge community in mid-Wales. Yogen, who has been settled in the UK for more than 20 years, wanted to move to Wales and bring the flavours of his home country with him.
