I love Indian food. I had a bunch of Indian and fusion Hakka style living in Scarborough for years. This place’s lamb dhansak dish is one of my favourite dishes ever. Friends recommended this dish and I’ve had it 10x from this place without an issue. Garlic naan, rice and the dhansak 10/10.Best Indian in the city 100%

This is amazing food and they always have excellent customer service skills. However last night I ordered and their new packaging for food exploded all over me and left blisters on my leg and red marks still today on my wrist. It was very painful.I will keep ordering from here, however I am advising you to go back to your old packaging. Only due to how fresh and hot the food is. It was a very painful experience.

Ordered through Good to go app. It was just dried rice with 2-3 tiniest pieces of chicken with 2 spring rolls. It can never be worth 21$. Never going back. They used to be so good on the app. No idea how they became this bad.

We got a Too Good to Go order and it was naan, a small white rice and what appeared to be a small container of dishwater with a slice of potato in it.

Politely, this can’t be called Indian food. If this is your first time trying Indian food, trust me it’s not supposed to taste like this. They put mushrooms in the biryani, let me not say anything else.

TERRIBLE! We ordered on Too good to go app and recieved two containers of rice with two tiny rolls of some type. Lousy for $14 of food. The rice was bland. Huge dissapointment. Won't be going back. Not honest business practice.

I ordered from here through the to good to go app. I ended up finding some reviews from another site in specific regards to the too good to go orders and then I also came on here and check the reviews.. and I'm glad I did not check them until after I ordered the food or I may have been thrown off a little bit. I'm not sure what this is it looks like it could be the butter chicken or tikka masala.. they both taste super similar to me and sometimes I have problems telling them apart... but unlike the reviews here there is a ton of chicken inside of the sauce and I'm not sure if other people are aware but consistency of curry chicken or butter chicken tikka masala.... all those things... Really depends on the culture that's making them.. as they slightly vary in thickness and ingredients... Honestly this food is amazing. The spices are just right it's not too salty not too spicy perfect amount of kick not sure why people are complaining about tomatoes.. you're not going to die if they're not fully cooked.. and you don't want mushy tomatoes inside of recipes like this or you might as well just blend it in the sauce... On top of all of that the people working there were nothing but smiles and cheer... Atmosphere was very calm and relaxed and it was just great vibes..... I would love to dine in soon and because I ordered through this app I will definitely be spending my money here when I have cravings for Indian food .. 5 stars ❤️?

Worst restaurant. Worst food quality. The chicken curry was full of water and uncooked tomatoes were popping out .Never go to this place.

This is our favorite Indian in the city. Had dinner with friends last night.A table full of delicious choices. So much flavor.The Chicken Madras and Chicken Tika Masala was incredible. As was a lamb dish my wife ordered. Came in a little sizzling bowl. The flavor was outstanding along with a delicious vegetable Biryani.Come dine in for the best experience.

Hands down worst Indian food ever tasted, if you like bland water with chicken or beef you would love this place, if your looking for flavourful curry steer

I'm conflicted at writing this review.The location is great, the staff are attentive, but the food... I don't think I've ever had food this bland. Totally unexpected really when you walk in and the restaurant smells so enticing.The "curry" if you can call it that, was a watery mess that barely held itself together. When eaten with rice, you tasted the rice more than the curry. And it was white rice.The curry was so watery that when eating the rice it tasted like rice and water. We didn't even bother with the naan since it would have been sopping up water...I don't know who was cooking that night, if the restaurant was trying to stretch their food, or if Gate of India truly wanted to gate off all of the flavour that India has to offer.One can only hope that they review the amount of water added to their curry and won't be so heavy handed with it.Food: 0Staff: 3Atmosphere: 3

Ordered chicken curry via delivery last night ..it was a buy 1 get 1 free offer..but they give you curry in 2 small Styrofoam containers..the qty was literally lesser than any large container qty we usually get from any other good Indian restaurant. The quality of food was terrible..it was runny watery gravy with absolutely no flavour and barely any chicken pieces..and yes paid $24 for this..strongly Do Not recommend this place..
