Ordered chicken biriyani and there were hardly any chicken pieces and no salt in the biriyani rice. Also ordered Madras chicken and it tasted like they heated it up from some ready to eat packet. Wasted $35!!

The food was excellent and service was great but we were so shocked that our meals came on metal trays. So awful! Rectangular metal trays with 3 sections on them My family will definitely come back because the food and service was awesome but please please change those disgusting trays…. Presentation is so important.

We decided to try this place on a whim. Amazing meal! All dishes. you can tell were made with love and pride. Flavours were spectacular. Staff were very nice and accommodating. We will be coming back again!

Ordered takeout last night and the butter chicken and basmati rice were horrible. The butter chicken was too sweet and the rice tasted and smelled like sweet corn. We had to throw it out as it wasn’t edible. The taste was very bad. Samosa chaat was delicious though.

Had an amazing experience with my boyfriend today, although it was the weekend the owner/staff offered us the lunch special menu which is normally for tuesday to friday. I ordered the chicken madras lunch special with naan, and my boyfriend got the lamb vindaloo lunch special with naan. The spice level for both dishes were great. The naan is freshly made and isn't one of those cheaply bought and reheated ones. I think the naan's that they make are so unique and extremely fresh! The guy who took our order offered us a complimentary dessert of Gulab Jamun which made the experience much more wonderful. Overall the server/owner was extremely hospitable! The food amazing! 10/10 would definately come again! I'm hoping to try their spiciest curry next time! 😃

Delicious food and attentive service. We went for an early Friday dinner and the food and service was wonderful. We ordered the meal for two and it was very generous and fed our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) well. We did add an appetizer sampler, an extra naan, and the raita. The naan is freshly made and you can see this portion of their kitchen. My daughter was thoroughly amused as the gentleman making the tandoori chicken and naan was very interactive with her. There seem to be a lot of take out orders but the restaurant is so lovely, dine in is a great option as well. Will definitely be back!

This is the best authentic Indian food that I have tasted in the region! Their variety of Indian snacks, and curries are amazing to suit everyone’s taste palette and preferences. I tried both vegetarian and non vegetarian snacks here. I specially loved the vegetarian sampler with the yummy bhajis and samosas. The tandoori chicken and hariyali chicken were really yummy. We followed this with the delicious butter chicken and naan breads which were loved by all alike. The service at the restaurant is really good and it gives a homely feeling with the authentic food and great service! Would definitely recommend to all!!

A great family run business with delicious, traditional Indian food! We enjoyed the Butter Chicken with huge pieces of white meat, Lamb Roganjosh, Rice and Peas Pulao, Chana, Masala, Daal Mahkni, and the yummy naan bread. Lots of other vegetarian and meat options to choose from as well. Portions were huge with plenty to feed four with leftovers and all under $20/pp. Highly recommend if you re looking for authentic Indian Cuisine in the area! Vegetarian options: Plentiful and tasty vegetarian options. We opted for the Rice and Peas Pulao, Chana Masala and Daal Mahkni (sp?), but there was an abundance of other choices to pick from as well.

I would dine there every night Vegetarian options: A big selection of delicious food options Parking: Easy part many spots available Kid-friendliness: My 12 year old son absolutely loves the food and welcoming hospitality

Ordered a butter chicken through Uber eats. They sent it as is, no rice or naan bread for 18$. Don t bother spending your money here, go elsewhere for larger portion AND rice/naan will come w it.

First time trying, after reading reviews decided to give it a try. The man who took my order was very nice. But I do have to agree, the food is bland. The butter chicken tastes more like a rose sauce than any Indian flavour. The samosas were really oily too, it was dripping off of them and made them almost inedible. Pretty expensive as well, butter chicken, naan, samosas and rice was $40. Had to buy the rice separate as the butter chicken doesn t come with any. Portions were great though, bigger than most Indian places I ve been too. I would have given 5 stars if it just had more flavour.

My wife and I are from Glasgow and Indian food is their national dish. So we know our curries and its our favourite type of food to eat. We love Indian food and when we moved to Newmarket we were worried about missing food from back home. Weve been eating from India gate since they first opened and have been regular customers since. Weve also tried Indian food in various places around York region Markham and Toronto but always prefer India gate. Their food is on point, they make it spicy for us as Canadian spicy isnt as hot as we would like it. Their food is not loaded with salt as some our residents that weve tried. Every time we eat from there we are reminded of home and are so grateful that its walking distance from our home. Weve tried quite a few dishes and each and every time without fail they come out perfect. Weve done alot of chicken, fish and vegetarian dishes and crave their food weekly. If you are a true lover of Indian food I promise you, you wont be disappointed its just delicious. . Vegetarian options: Love love love their eggplant curry. Its spectacular

The owner and staff are friendly and super helpful. The food is always delicious. Many items on the menu are vegan and there is a vegan section on the menu which is always so helpful. The restaurant is always very clean and it has a nice decor.

Utterly disappointing! I read mostly good reviews so I gave this place a chance - BIG mistake! Butter chicken - although the chicken was actually moist, it was bland as bland can be. The Sauce - are you kidding me?!? It was tomato soup, bland flavourless runny tomato soup. I ordered 2 types of Naan bread, the garlic naan (4$) and the expensive cheese naan (10$). They were 100% not worth it! Both were flat and very crispy - each piece was broken off. The cheese naan wasn t like any cheese naan I ve ever had. They used cheap shredded cheese mixed into the dough, so it fried up and became crispy just like the rest of the naan. It wasn t worth it. Garlic naan was just crispy with a hint of garlic. I left the restaurant sad and humbled. Do Not Give These People Your Money

India Gate is exceptional. The food is excellent and compares favourably with curries anywhere in the world. There is a great choice on the menu, with all tastes from mild to spicy.

Good place with a nice ambiance. Taste is good and price is pocket friendly. Only concern is when I ordered mango juice i thought it could be fresh juice but even my 6 year old kid found its fruit that they served. In that case they could even mentioned fruite in menu instead of mango juice. Other than that a good place for family dine out..

We went 4 weeks ago on a early Friday evening after reading all the great reviews. We ordered all vegetarian dishes. The quantity of the food is very less compared to the price. Kadahi Paneer with Roti and Raita was ok. The Balti Dal Makhani was stale and sour. We sent the dish back and the server brought back the same dish adding cream. Raita was watery like panipuri spiced. Overall one not a good experience. Will not recommend or visit again.

Extremely disappointing.This is not representative of India food whatsoever. Palak paneer barely had any spice. Literally tasted like we were having blanched spinach. Biryani made with short grain rice (using Basmati is Biryani 101) tasted like over spiced rice Indian students make when trying to make Biryani in a rice cooker.

Ive been coming to India Gate for almost 10 years, from when I first saw it in the same plaza as a few of the other stores I frequently used to go to. I gave it a try and I was generally quite happy with the food as there are no good Indian food options around that are still in business. I tend to order the same things that I feel are tasty and worth the money, and some of the things that Ive ordered and felt were overpriced, I never ordered again. Truth be told, I have always ordered take out from India Gate and my order has been taken professional (not necessarily happily, but definitely professionally). However, if I am so pleased, why am I leaving a 2 star review? 1. First off, I know who the owner is vs who the staff are. While the owner is professional, I personally find there is nothing done to show appreciation or friendliness to customers, even customers he has seen multiple times or have supported his business multiple times. A smile, a conversation, even a greeting is appreciated but anytime Ive gone in he is staring at a phone and his conversation has been cold and stoic. Eventually, it annoyed me enough to the point I just didnt want to see him anymore and could live without my Indian Food. Simply putting on a professional sounding voice is not enough to keep your customers, youve got to earn the business. Ive also found this now to be the norm with the staff as well - well, theres only 2 of them at any time from what I can tell. 2. Secondly, having ordered a few times during the pandemic, my top concern is my health and without getting into too much detail, I ordered twice and just felt like all protocols werent followed, so I dont feel good coming back 3. Food is so overpriced here you could literally go to Little India on Gerrard Street in Toronto and have lunch buffet for the entire family, or more. Curries are missing half the meat youd expect to see, but all you get is a container full of sauce that leaks all over the place, other meal items come with the bare basics, such as for example, some meat items come with a side of vegetables, but here it is scarce. Half the time you dont get the chutney unless you ask.....just.....what is happening to this place? I wont be returning again to this establishment after almost 10 years.

Hi There, you hit it out of the park again! Our order the other night was as delicious as we anticipated. I ve learned to always order extra to ensure we have leftovers for the next day. Thank you for consistently providing high quality food and top notch customer service!

The food is delicious always. We have been going there since they opened and it s one of our favourite restaurants. We have eaten many curries in the UK so we know a delicious curry. We always ask for spicy (not Canadian spicy) and it s just fantastic. The food is fresh, flavourful, the portions are large and we honestly have no complaints. We have tried so many of their curry s but our favourite is the fish tikka and fish madras. Our son loves their butter chicken. -sharon

The malai kofta here is the best I ve ever eaten. I will keep coming back for this dish alone. The sauce is super flavourful and the dumplings are like little pillows. I also enjoy the naan, aloo gobi & onion bhaji here.

Food over priced... naan burnt, biryani barely has any meat, curries have barely 3 pieces of meat no bigger than your thumb and staff and owner are not pleasant to deal with. All reviews that are 5 stars are either friends of the owner or have no idea what good Indian food really is! If I couldve put zero stars I wouldve!

Love the food. Decor and service. Would love the red onions in lemon and a little papad which is part of traditional Muglai food. And would also love to have (if possible) the hot water with lemon in the bowl to cleanse the fingers. Otherwise I do recommend the food.

UPDATE: The only reason why we walked into this restaurant was because we read the sign in the storefront window that advertised a lunch buffet. For the owner to come on a Google review board and blatantly lie about ever having a lunch buffet at his location in the Newmarket plaza is mind blowing! Just shows you the attitude of the people running this place. Thank you for the invite to return and make good on the previous visit but knowing that you will try to defend yourself by denying the truth will definitely not make me want to return... Maybe this review will make you change your attitude towards people, But I doubt it.... Very bad customer service... Very rude and awkward behavior... Our group went for the lunch buffet. We should have looked at the buffet before ordering.. When we walked up we saw 4 trays of sauces and the corner of a tray held maybe half a bowl of rice... The kitchen began to cook and seeing there were 3 of us.. he added 4 drumsticks to one of the sauces a bowl of rice to a steam pan and brought us 4 naan to the table... We laughed and asked is that all we get?. He frowned at us and went back to the kitchen and came out with a bit more food and angrily slammed it into the 3 other sauces that were remaining... WOW! at that point we should have walked out but being gluttons for punishment we stayed and were hand fed like teased dogs.... This is the second time I gave this place a chance and it has only gotten worse...

India Gate offers the BEST FOOD, Indian food yes, but best ever, in Newmarket, Ontario, and possibly anywhere, and I have eaten Indian Food in London England - India Gate is incredible. The lamb curry dishes are extraordinary. The chicken Tikka Masala and butter chicken are top notch, and the roti dishes, no matter what, and they offer Aloo, naan, roti etc., are all made on site and are delicious and perfect. This is my favourite restaurant in the GTA, and VERY reasonably priced. Do yourself a favour and go to India Gate.

If you don t have time to enjoy their food in their dining room, you can call and order for pickup. We do that frequently and the food is just as excellent as pickup as it is if you were sitting in the restaurant. Make sure you visit India Gate. You won t be disappointed!
