India Gate Exclusive

First off let me start by saying that if you can afford it, this is a great restaurant. Very authentic, and the food is fantastic, but crazy expensive. I don't think the atmosphere is particularly great, but if you're there, you're there for the food. I would recommend take out as the dine in experience can leave alot to be desired and the food is already expensive enough as it is.

After dining at other indian restaurants, we tried India Gate. We have never gone back to the others. It is clean and the service is polite and courteous. The food is yummy. Cured a cold for me too. The owner comes to your table to check on you.

This place is very clean, but the food is not tne best., I been to top indian restaurants and this place is not in the same league. I had the meat sizzler and it seemed like they took meat off peoples plates that didn't want it ,which I think is disgusting. Some of the dishes were extremely oily. I had two of the samosas one was fantastic and other one looked like it was sitting there a for a month, I couldn't believe the contrast. Will I be returning no, the cooks are not consistant. Good luck to the people of Newmarket, they really don't know good Indian Food.

Superb Food, Comfortable Atmosphere

My daughter and I went for dinner late this evening. The restaurant was quiet. We were seated promptly and served with great courtesy. I asked about a special curry that was not on the menu and the chef prepared it brilliantly. Of all the Indian restaurants I have dined at, this was the best experience. The food arrived with appropriate timing and as we both had samplers we were able to taste many things. The server was incredibly helpful and the owner came by to ensure we were pleased. Newmarket is lucky to have such an excellent restaurant. We will definitely be back. While we were eating our meal, the restaurant did a steady takeout business even after 8:30pm on a Sunday night. We overheard a young lady, who appeared to be of Indian descent say she was picking up takeout for her mother. In my experience, when folks who are raised on a cuisine choose a restaurant it's indicative of real quality. I have eaten at Indian restaurants in the Markham area where the quality was good and the service friendly, but I have felt as though it was an Indian restaurant "tuned" to occidentals. At India Gate, I believe that we received the "real deal". Delicious tastes, wonderful people. Highly recommended. Highly recommended.

Well this is our 4th time here and my brother and his family are also addicted. They never disappoint. The place is spotless, the hosts attentive and there is always a smile to go with the icy cold Kingfisher. This time my wife wanted the heat toned down a bit so we asked for a bit milder dishes. Everything was perfect. I personally like heat and the waitress offered to bring me out some of the Vindaloo Sauce. No thanks I said but how about some hot mixed pickles. Well they have a hidden stash of these that are not served up normally. The chef ( not cook ) did a great job on the Nan. He put on a show in the open Tandoor Kitchen twirling the Nan about as if some well rehearsed Ballet. Will we go back.. ??? Hmm I'm going tonight for takeout. A footnote. The owner is a very proud and ethical man. He had seen my earlier review and I asked him why he did not go in and write a few. No he said, that would be wrong. He told me everything on the menu is tested by him and if it is not good it comes off. His pride of ownership shows through in an day and age where everyone wants a quick buck. These guys take time to do it right. Go and try them out.. behind the Henry's Camera Store in the mall. You cant see them from the street but they are well worth hunting down.
