India Gate has become a special place for me. The food is incredible. The spices and seasonings are curated per dish to absolute perfection, while the portions are plentiful and flavor packed. Every bite gets better throughout the meal. The only disappointment I have is that unfortunately, every meal must come to an end, and I'm left wanting to order more! The staff is extremely pleasant and courteous. I cant say enough great things about this place, I'm so glad they opened right up from where I live! Support this place with me, so we all can enjoy many more years of excellent food and service here!

This is pretty good lunch special! Everything tasted awesome. Idk if it's right on the maps, it's next to bean traders on the sprouts side. Definitely check them out.

This place is the real deal. My favorite restaurant in Durham!!!!
I tried this place recently and enjoyed it a lot. The okra dish is super tasty. The food was flavorful and not too salty. I will definitely come back :)Many gluten free options. Biryanis, vegetable dishes and curry etc. I have celiac and did not react to the food I ordered.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The service was excellent, and the food was everything we were hoping for. We had lamb korma, lamb rogan josh. and paneer kulcha. The lamb was cooked to perfection. The kulcha was so satisfying. Our server was attentive and friendly and made our dining experience a pleasure. We will definitely be back.

We had a to-go three Biryani (2 veg, 1 chicken), and two Samosa. I usually don't like to give negative reviews to anybody or any business because they might be working hard to make everything better. But this time it crossed my patience. While eating, I found Stapler pin (that metal pin). Can you believe it? The samosa amd biryani quality was not good; but this wouldn't not be my concern anyway. And I am not giving my review based on not-testy.

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!Kid-friendliness: The owner always speaks with my child and gives her attention. We always bring outside fast food for her because she isn't ready for the spices and the owners are ok with it. I think that's a nice touch to not be offended when patrons have to bring in food for their child.
I always get the butter chicken and it’s delicious! Tonight I tried the paneer kulcha and it was my favorite bread I’ve tried from here!

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!

They were busier this evening but it is one of the best Indian foods I've had. I've had indian around the country and Japan when stationed and the taste and quantity of food they offered blew me away.

This place was good for dinner once at their old location, but lunch today was very disappointing. At lunch there are only two menu options - vegetarian and non-vegetarian, a full menu was not presented. The non-veggie comes with a small scoop of chicken tikka massala, that was very bland with mostly shredded chicken rather than whole pieces. There was also a small tandori chicken leg which was also lacking in flavor. The naan was not the usual fresh garlic naan, and was relatively flavorless. This is easily the worst Indian I've had, which is surprising about how it was good it was in the past.
