Rita's Gate Of India offers top-notch curries, such as the lamb rogan josh and lemon chicken, rated 10/10. This charming and authentic spot has a variety of vegetarian and vegan options. The friendly staff provides excellent service, and the cozy atmosphere is inviting. The restaurant excels at presenting both classic and regional Indian dishes with bold flavor and refined balance. The Achari meat was tender and slow-cooked to perfection, with a rich gravy that lingered on the palate. For vegetarians, the paneer tikka masala and velpuri were creamy and satisfying, and the garlic naan arrived perfectly charred and buttery. The spice levels are customizable, making the food approachable for all palates, while still preserving the richness and complexity that defines Indian and Bengali cuisine. The menu is totally different from any other restaurants in the area. The restaurant also features dishes like the lemon curry with shrimp and the tofu saag paneer, both spicy and delicious. Overall, Rita's Gate Of India is a flavorful and well-loved Indian restaurant where the chef's attention and love for the food shine through every dish.
