What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
India Gate Restaurant is celebrated for its authentic Indian flavors and exceptional naan bread, often described as the best in the area. Many patrons highlight the warm hospitality and family-run charm. However, some diners have experienced issues with inconsistent spice levels and service delays, and a few reviews mention disappointing quality in certain dishes.
"Amazing Indian food 🇮🇳. Butter chicken, korma, Vindaloo and the best naan bread ever I love it!
Sensational as always! Some of the best Indian food and when you go there be sure you ask for the special naan. You've got to go down the stairs to get to it as there is an Indian street food place in front of it (which is ok but not the restaurant quality of this place) lamb saag and butter chicken are standouts here with a bit of mint chutney!
P.S. did I mention the 'special nasn'?"

"Had a take away this evening and wow…. Everything was pure magic. The food was excellent….. the owner made sure our one vegetarian meal was not too spicy as requested. We ordered 2 chicken, one lamb, and one vegetarian meal with variety of rice and bread. We could not fault a thing. Everything was tasty, aromatic and just wonderful!"
