Atmosphere is warm upon walking in. You just feel at home. Family run business who care about service and their patrons. Food is excellent and exceptionally delicious every time! The husband and wife team always willing to speak with all customers to insure everything is going well. I just enjoying eating such good wholesome food. And the accuracy of mild, medium and hot( regarding the spices) is on point! Mild is really mild and you can eat every bite!

Every single item on the non-veg thali I had for lunch was delicious!! Dal, chole, chicken tikka masala, tandoori drumstick, naan, samosa, rice and rice pudding - a large amount of food for the price. I would go back!

Non-descript but clean and tidy

I’m from San Francisco bay area where there are tons of great indian restaurants. We went here without any preconceived notions and were quite pleasantly surprised.

The food here is amazing. I often order India Gate through Uber Eats and have never been disappointed. The rice is flavorful and even tastes amazing on its own. The butter chicken is my favorite dish here. Tender chicken and flavorful curry. I just tried the samosas, and they were very fresh. This is my go-to spot for Indian food in Durham!

This was by far the best Indian food. The samosas were the most flavorful I’ve ever eaten, better than when I was in India. Every dish was delicious. This family owned and run restaurant is top notch. In our party we had a vegetarian and someone that has dairy and nut allergies; both had plenty of options on the menu and everything was clearly labeled for them. We will definitely be back!

This seems to be a mostly takeout restaurant, at least for dinner. Paneer pakora was fine, garlic naan was excellent, baingan bhartha was very tasty and just enough spice when ordered at the medium level.

I stopped by India Gate at the new location for the first time to scratch an itch for Indian food. I was surprised and disappointed by the low budget decor. While I had not been to the previous location , I expected to walk into a fairly nice restaurant. Its definitely not a date night spot, more like a quick lunch or take out spot. However the smell of delicious food kept me interested. The service was very good, pleasant, attentive, and friendly. When I got my meal home and dug in I was very pleased. My meal was flavorful and fresh, and the dinner portion was good. I will definitely be back for takeout!
