This place was so good I went here twice. I will say their chicken curry is what I expected their chicken vindaloo to be but their vindaloo has a very tangy almost tomato like paste. The vindaloo was not for me. I went home and added some cream to it and it tasted like butter chicken. That being said, the curry chicken was so god. The chicken is moist. The flavors are just perfection. Mom also loved the baighan Bartha. This one is a bit sweeter than other versions I have had but it is equally as good. I really liked it. We got medium spice and it wasn't too hot. The butter chicken was also delicious. They had appetizers with that thin crisp bread and the green mint and red tangy sauce. It was really good. Btw they give a lot of Naan. As in one order of naan is plenty for two people. Overall I really like this place and if I'm ever in Calgary would definitely be coming back! read more

Gate of India - Exterior - Indian Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

This is the first restaurant from where we ordered food when we moved to Calgary. We were staying in a hotel and did uber eats from this restaurant. Since then we have might have ordered atleast 6 times from here, as I guess we liked the food. We have tried almost more than half of stuff on their menu. Food is good here, not as exceptional like you get in India or as good as the one we are used to in Toronto/Brampton area, however still good. Better than most Indian in Calgary we have so far tried. On our first order we ordered Mahi Fish Tikka, Butter chicken, paneer lababdar and few breads ( butter naan, garlic naan, lacha parantha and tandoori roti ). Everything was fresh and delicious. The one item that stood out for me was Mahi Fish Tikka. It was flavorful, soft, juicy and has perfect amount of char, that gave it a wonderful smoky aroma. It was well paired with their mint chutney. After that we wanted to try more of their dishes. So over last few months we have tried their Chicken 65, chilli chicken, chilli fish, gobi manchurian, balti chicken, chiken pakoda, shahi paneer, paneer butter masala, paneer tikka masala, fish pakoda and few more. The best one so far has been Balti Chicken and Mahi fish tikka. They are consistent with flavor, quality and quantity most of the time. Couple of times currries and naan did not seem as fresh as other times. Plus in one of the Uber eats orders they messed up the order a bit. We had ordered bread basket, which comes with butter naan, garlic naan and lacha parantha. Plus we had ordered 2 tandoori roti. They missed tandoori roti's and lacha parantha from our order. So we had alot of curry, however not much bread to eat it with. We had to make rice at home. I am confused between 3 stars or 4 stars, however at this time I will 4 stars as this was the first restaurant we tried in Calgary and everything was good in that order. However if anything changes in next orders, I will update here. Until then I will keep ordering from this place in future and will recommend this place to everyone who is looking for good Indian food. read more

Hit here for lunch, always great food and great service. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious, but my favs are Palak or Saag Panner, chicken korma and their pakoras!! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Went in here for a late lunch in a trip to Alberta. It's not a very big place but we were looking for some Indian food. Food was served quickly and everything was fresh. The staff was very courteous. Recommend coming here if you want good food at a fair price. read more

Easily one of the best Indian restaurant I've ever eaten at. The Vindaloo was amazing, butter chicken was out of this world. The garlic nan perfect. Generous portions despite the pandemic pinch that has plagued most restaurants causing quality and quantity/value issues. Will be back a few more times before I leave Calgary. Keep up the awesome guys! Ps. I may be white, but when I say I want it it "HOT AND SPICY" I mean it! Don't give me a 5 on 10 when I ask for a 10 on 10! ;) read more

We were craving desi home style food. We were very pleased, food was so good! Rishab who helped us was super pleasant and got our meal out very promptly. Highly recommend. Hit the spot! read more

Absolutely love the aloo gobi from here (and many other dishes). I'm a creature of habit, so my fiancé and I will order the same dishes from here. The food is ALWAYS delicious. We always have leftovers when we order from here. 4/5 stars since some of our food when we've ordered hasn't been delivered previously. However, it has happened on a limited number of occasions and may be related to a delivery app and not the Gate of India's fault. So - I'm assuming it's that. Moral of the story: order from this restaurant, they won't disappoint you. read more

Ordered the following for snacks: Masala tea Veggie samosas - the tea was super yummy! Made perfectly! The samosa was pretty good too. And their sweet chutney and mint chutney were yummmmmm!!!! They gave complimentary papad as well. We ordered the following to go: Malai kofta - medium spicy. The black pepper was too strong for me Paneer butter masala - medium spicy.. soooooo so so so yummy!! Loved it Butter naan Garlic naan Naans were soft just like I ordered them! Perfect Very happy with this find! read more

We ate here on our way to Banff from Calgary Airport. We had the buffet on a Saturday afternoon. It was delicious. We may stop by on our way back home! read more

Went here two times had chicken masala. The sauce was great but the amount of chicken it was terrible. There were about six small cubes of chicken and the rest of them were yams of some sort. Going to try the butter chicken today if it has a half decent amount of chicken in it that I may go back in the future otherwise this may be my last time. read more

Amazing and authentic Indian food!! This coming from someone from Bay Area, Ca, USA. Bay Area has some of the best Indian food in the usa and this place in Calgary definitely was in the top Indian places. Raj our server/host was very friendly and suggested options and no of items for our group of 4. We loved the food so much that we ate here twice , once when we flew into Calgary and on our way back to usa. We had the veg and non veg thali. Veg - 10/10 quantity and quality . Non veg - 9/10 quantity and quality. Didn like the mutton so much. Tandoori roti and butter naam - soft and nice, mix vegetable, shadi paneer, chicken lababdar and chk methi malai - so flavorful and different gravies. Definitely recommend this place to Indian palettes and authentic Indian food lovers. must visit. read more

As soon as you walk into the restaurant you are hit with an amazing aroma of spices - I was starving when I walked in and the smell made me even more excited to eat. We shared the vegetable somas (these were excellent), paneer; butter chicken ; chickenkorma , butter naan , garlic naan and coconut rice. Also a big glass or white wine for only 6.99 :) The food was fantastic - everything was amazing and I would order it all again. The coconut rice was some of the best I've ever had. Couldn't stop eating the paneer. Service is slow - often we were without water. But we were not in a rush and the flavour is worth the wait. We asked for mild as we were concerned w out the spice level; I didn't find it spiced at all so would go the next level up for next time. Staff were friendly and I would both eat here again and recommend others to try it! read more

Gate of India - Restaurant decore - Indian Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I love this place . The food so delicious. The people are friendly. Best Indian food in Calgary

Been here twice, not bad at all, once was take out. I first went there based on reviews alone, zero first hand recommendations even from people i know that love Indian food. Reviews didn't match the quality of the food and there were quite a lot of google reviews too, as I recall VERY soon after it opened, I know others commented on this too. So yeah... IF they are fake reviews, I think they really overdid it! Anyway, service was really good, food was OK. If there's one thing I have to say about this place, their vegetarian dishes are better than the meat ones, generally speaking. Tea was excellent. 2.5/5 for generic Indian food, average quality, tea really stood out but that's all, plenty of other places in Calgary to try. read more

Must go place, looks like small eatery but turned out exceptional. Goat curry & hari bhari tikki are our most loved items.

Amazing hole in the wall! Restaurant was packed and food is authentic. Incredibly fresh naan, and surprisingly tender chicken. Mild/Medium/Hot levels are very reasonable. Only thing is the Butter Chicken is too tomato-y. Otherwise, delicious! read more

Eight of us stopped here for dinner on our way to Banff. Hot fresh food was served. Very good samosas and chicken tikka kabobs. Fresh naan and the vindaloo was awesome. Will definitely recommend. read more

This was such a pleasant surprise. We had never been here before, friends and I went for a buffet lunch and we were really impressed!! They had a lovely selection and brought us a basket of delicious warm naan bread. One of the best we have ever had. Loved that the intensity of spice wasn't overwhelming in some dishes, like at other buffets. Their desserts were so fresh and delicious we couldn't resist seconds. Service was great. We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back. Thank you!! read more

Been here a few months ago and I have to say it one of the best Indian food out of 5 that I tried. Will definitely come back if craving Indian food. They spice isn't over powering just perfect and not bland at all. Only reason why I minus a star was lady server didn't look to friendly and decor was a little to dark for me. I still will come back though because the food was great and it close to home. read more

Wow! The food was absolutely amazing. I got the chicken coconut with rice and it is by far the best India food I've had. My mom had the Gate of India specialty sweet and sour eggplant... it was to die for. My dad had the beef curry and although it was spicy, pairing it with the naan bread was delicious. 10/10 would recommend & two thumbs up. read more

This place is sooooo yummy! Huge selection and very tasty! One of my faves in Calgary!

This is a small hidden gem in Country Hills. The food is excellent with lovely presentation. Service was friendly and professional. Best naan and butter chicken ever! read more

Authentic Indian food with excellent service. The food is very tasty and value for money. TBH, we could not find the restaurant from the parking lot, but followed the wonderful aroma of food to the restaurant :-) . Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste authentic Indian food. read more

My husband and I come in to eat here at least once a month. Its a small little restaurant, but the service is wonderful and the food is delicious! We split a meal on Friday, but usually he gets Chicken Madras, his favorite. I love the wide selection of vegetarian dishes to choose from. My favorite dishes are the aloo and the paneer is also quite good. Dinner comes with complimentary papadum, with two sauces: one is sour, and the other is sweet. read more

The food was good mostly you standard Indian dishes. The samosas are quite large the rest of the entrees were good a little rich and the daal tasted slightly burnt they may have cooked it for too long. read more

Gate of India - Naan with mutter paneer and malai kofta - Indian Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Authentic indian food in Calgary North. We love there home like food and the chef always accommodates our taste buds

I found this little out-of-the-way spot on Yelp. I've had a taste for Indian food since I arrived in Calgary nearly two weeks ago. Hailing from Los Angeles we have some of the best Indian food I've ever tasted in the United States. I will say this place did not disappoint. At a bargain price of around $11 American it's an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet that has a vast variety of Indian dishes. I literally tried a bit of everything but the Goat Curry, Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala are the standouts. Fairly prompt service , very clean and enjoyable environment, traditional Indian decor and Indian music. My overall experience here was really good... Although that last trip to the buffet I probably didn't need. Easy parking as it's in a strip mall and seeing its a buffet you don't really need to wait to eat. Definitely a thumbs-up on this place all the way around as it exceeded my expectations. In the words of my former Governor I'll be back. read more

Sooo good. Just moved to the area and all the neighbours recommended this restaurant. Great food, great value. We will be regulars at Gate of India. read more

It's one of those hole in the walls but the food is good. Never a long wait and flavourful food. I've enjoyed it every time.

This was an amazing meal and the service was great, even though the young lady serving was run off her feet. We will be back!!!!

What a great find. Probably some of the best Indian food I've had! We were there with a party of 18 people which they accommodated no problem. We sampled lots from the menu and the whole party was raving about the food. I had the Beef Vindaloo, Veggie Korma, each type of rice on the menu- my fav was the mushroom rice. I'm sure you could order anything here and be happy. I noticed a good flow of regulars coming and going while we ate which is always a good sign. The restaurant is very unassuming and almost hidden in the big box mall but worth seeking out. read more

I have been here twice, one for dinner and the other for the lunch special. Both times, the food was​ amazing and the service was great. Good prices and quality food. read more

The convenience of being close to my house is the reason for 3 stars. The food is surprisingly bland and generic in taste. Naan tastes good and so does mango Lassi. read more

This is by far one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. While alot of the Indian joints around town are good, I've found the service to be lacking. Gate of India is the exception. The host/waiter Umesh was amazing. He took the time to explain the menu and engage us. We had the Lamb Rogan Josh, Goat Curry and Butter Chicken. The flavours were rich and delicious. To top it all off we had Kheer or Rice Pudding for dessert and oh man was it delicious. The owner is also the chef. It's very apparent that he takes great pride in his restaurant and his food. We will definitely be back. HIGHLY recommend. read more

We have been going to the Gate of India since it opened several years ago and have never been disappointed. My goal since emigrating from the UK was to find an awesome Indian restaurant which we found here. The food is great and Umesh, who usually works the front counter always has a smile on his face / under his mask and knows his customers by name. read more

I went to Gate of India with my family today and the food was amazing! It's just what we were looking for. My grandma can't have onion and garlic and they whipped up something delicious for her and didn't even charge us. We had a great time! read more

Amazing food! Great price. Got the butter chicken, fish malai curry and tandoori chicken. Flavour was SO good. We will for sure return
