India Gate

If you like bland food,bad service then this is the place for you. A table was booked for 8:30 we sat down at 8:50 we had to wait a further 1 hour 10 mins until we ate. When the food arrived it was bland.The manager was not inerested in our conplaints. Having said this the place was full!

This restaurant has reputation that reflects the restaurant, the staff and the food! Ive been a regular at this restaurant for well over 10 years. The food has not changed since i first went there! every dish is cooked exactly the same everytime you visit which results in you knowing exactly what your going to get every single time. I have a great repour with the staff and the owner himself. They are all very accomodating and treat their loyal customers with a service that keeps us all coming back for more, week on week! I never tire of this restaurant, admittidely i have tried everything on the menu so many times i often randomly pick what im going to have! I would recommend the chicken kharai, Tikka Massala (and including the green massala) the Shaslick and the Lamb saag. However these are just my personal faves and there isnt anything on the menu i dislike! Ive never had a dessert here as im usually stuffed by the time i finish my main often needing a homer style rest or the walk home to release some of the bloating of over indulging!

The takeaway's are amazing but as i live so close and the price is practically same its easier and more fun to eat in. Get down there at half 5 if you want a quick and peaceful meal otherwise book in advance and expect it to be busy!

I've tried many many different indian meals from different restaurants and have never found anything that comes near the quality of food in the India Gate. The Chicken Tikka Karai is amazing, so to is the chicken tikka green massala. The menu is fairly basic, which is good because the chef concentrates on the dishes listed and cooks them to a high quality. The litmus test for me also is the quality of the onion bhajis and mint sauce, I know it sounds simple, but if the bhaji is crispy and brown (not red) the its a good start, if the mint sauce is not bright green also a good indicator. Anyway this place is amazing. If you want to eat in the you pretty much have to book, the locals love it. If you fancy heating your own up the gateway of india in Rhiwbina is the sister curry house, they serve takeway urrys to order but cold, to be heated up yourself, again amazing quality.
