I came here in Valentine's Day and got seated within 10 mins not bad and we shared a sample platter that has simoas with chicken and some other veggie food which was good. Got a mojito that was great! Food did take long about 1 hour 30 mins but the girls that worked there saw I kept looking around and said I looked stressed out and frustrated and comped us 2 free drinks and an appetizer so that was nice of her. I got the butter chicken and we shared the garlic naan bread and everything was so good one of the best Indian food I've had!!! Definitely recommend coming here if you are craving food in the longwood area just don't come on a holiday or you will be waiting over a hour for your food but I would come back again one day!!! read more

Trying a new place near the Altamonte Mall. Full service restaurant (with a full service bar) and no buffet. So I'm expecting higher quality food for sure! Inside, the place is really nice, almost formal. Dark dining room with nice tables and booths. Cool artwork and lamps. Service was very interesting. Our host, maybe owner(?) was super chatty. I prefer service to be get and get out promptly but she was recommending items, asking questions, and determining herself what we really wanted. Hey, maybe some people really like that to get a great experience. I found it a bit much but she was super nice. We got the veggies platter appetizer which was fantastic. The server really pushed the lamb samosas which were fine but I should have passed. And for entrees we got butter chicken, tikka masala veggies, and shrimp korma with garlic naan and a fantastic plate of basmati rice. The meal was great! The sauces/gravies were so delicious. And honestly, some of the best basmati around. Come for the food! Definitely recommend this place. And for Amex users, a great credit as well. Definitely worth it. read more

When the Food is a 5, But the Service is 1... As the title suggests, the only reason the review gets a 3 is because the food was amazing. My husband and I arrived around 5:40 for our Valentine's Day reservation. We were seated right away, but that was the only positive to the service all night long. After about 15 minutes of being seated, we noticed a QR code that presented a digital dining option. We scanned it and ordered our appetizer, which came out about 20 minutes later. 40 minutes after arrival, we still had no water after asking for it once. This confused us because everyone around us was being waited on and taken care of. Finally after asking for water 3 times, including going up to the bar, we received water only after finishing the appetizer. We placed our entree orders on the digital platform and did not receive our meal for an entire hour later. Once again, we were very confused because EVERYONE around us kept getting their food, even those who arrived an hour or more after us. In addition, we asked for boxes 3 times before finally receiving them. Thankfully, we were able to pay on the app because who knows how long that would have taken. As for the positive, our food was amazing. The vegetable platter appetizer was yummy. We also enjoyed the butter chicken, chicken tiki masala, and naan. The chicken dishes were some of the tastiest Indian food we've ever had. If it hadn't been for the food, this review would be at a 2. As we were leaving, a couple employees said sorry to us for being so busy. Of course, they were busy for Valentine's Day, but that is when you should be on your best game. Busy is ok, but the fact that we had NO SERVER the entire night and seemed to be forgotten compared to other guests was very disappointing. I will mention that a couple next to us seemed to have a similar experience, maybe it was just part of being seated in the back corner. The digital dining option is amazing and we are not opposed to it, but this option needs to be made crystal clear to the guests. This needs to be improved as there wasn't even an option to order water on it. We have discussed trying take out here again because of how amazing the food was, but we will never be back to dine in. read more

Craving curry one night and place an order on their website. They bring it out to the car if you opt for curbside pick up. Quick and easy! I picked three types of naan to have with our meal. Garlic naan, butter naan, and cheese naan. For entrees we ordered two chicken tikka masala, and one chicken Kashmiri. All portions were generous as we had enough food for a family of 4 and leftovers for the next day. The rice is a great base for all of the entrees and curries. The kids love the tikka masala and all of the naan we tried. This was my first time trying their cheese naan and I will definitely be getting it in the future. I've also had their chicken korma and butter chicken. (Can you tell I like chicken?) The Mango Lassi is great too! If you're looking for Indian food this is the spot. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

This place is 100% a hidden gem. Food is always amazing!! I will be honest and say service isn't the best but maybe that's a cultural thing, but the food 100% makes sup for it. Portions are very large so come ready to eat or share with others. Food is so good I often times don't even remember to take a picture!! (As you can see we ate everything in the picture below). I always get the Chicken tiki masala with a side of rice and garlic Nana bread. Me and my boyfriend are able finish it off (keep in mind he eats A LOT) but if i go alone I ALWYAS have leftovers. I'm a creature of habit and like to get the same thing but definitely feel as if I could venture out and try something new and it would still be good. read more

Gateway to India is always a win. The new chili pakoras are a fantastic addition! They're crispy, flavorful, and just the right heat. I can never go wrong with the chicken korma or spinach paneer because both are consistently delicious. The new bar is beautiful and the drinks are great. the London Mule is a must try (my new favorite!). Great food, great vibe, every time. read more

The food here was actually pretty good -- I'd rate it an 8/10. Unfortunately, the service really brought down the experience. I was accidentally served the wrong plate of food and didn't realize it right away. After I had already started eating, the person I was with noticed she had the wrong meal and told our server. The server then took our plates and brought them directly to the other table they were meant for -- even though some of the food had already been eaten. Afterward, she brought us our correct meals but told me I could only have two pieces of naan since I had eaten some from the previous plate. Really? It was disappointing, especially because the food itself was great. I hope they work on their service, the kitchen knows what they are doing at least. read more

We are longtime customers but will be looking elsewhere for our Indian cuisine moving forward. $19 for what is essentially a lunch portion of Tika masala is way too much. On our last visit, we added garlic naan and for six dollars we only received one 10 inch piece of naan that had essentially no butter and no garlic. Sad to see prices going up and quantity of food going down. Very disappointed with our last order. read more

Gateway To India - This cost us $6... - Indian Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Well popped in there for a spell and had a lovely lunch. Service was stellar, food was solid. Will definitely come back. The best unlock for us was the suggestion to pair the gulab jamun with the rice pudding, she likened it to brownie and ice cream, it was a hit and now my favorite dessert pairing. read more

I am 100% obsessed with Indian food and I'm so excited that this place is right down the street from my house. Although they're on the expensive side, it definitely makes sense because the quality of food is just that great! Gateway to India has traditional Indian food, such as naan, butter chicken and tandoori chicken. And if you have a picky eater with you, they do have chicken tenders and fries. They offer daily lunch and dinner specials and they're open late. Stop by if you're in the area, before I eat everything up! read more

I was recently asked, "if you could only eat at one restaurant for the rest of your life what would it be?" I chose Gateway to India and figured I should leave a review. The food is amazing, has great spice levels, and the staff is always super friendly. read more

The food here was a 10/10. I had the butter chicken with naan and vegetable samosas. I definitely recommend for a good evening meal and not expensive as everything was under $35. Everything was fresh and made to order. Highly recommend! read more

My. Boyfriend and I love this place! Nidhi was super sweet and had great suggestions, we will definitely be coming back as soon as possible :D read more

Gateway India was so good the paneer tikka masala and grilled paneer was so hearty. Definitely recommend coming to the restaurant again.

Hands down some of the best Indian food I've had (although, I've literally never been to India, so you know..). Anyway, although the building itself is not the most appealing, the food is to die for. The veggie korma lunch special was the bomb. Perfectly seasoned and the spice level was wonderful. The gulab topped it off and even though I only had two, I really was fighting not to order more. Do yourself a favor if you're in the Longwood area and travel to the Gateway! read more

Will definitely be making this location one of my local regulars. Thank you for an awesome evening. read more

We had dinner on a Friday night here. The restaurant is decorated nicely, has comfortable seating, and clean bathrooms. The restaurant is nice & relaxing, unlike other restaurants that tend to get very loud and chaotic on Friday nights. I appreciate after a long week of work the ability to go out and enjoy and cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc with delicious food. Our server was attentive and answered all our questions and made great recommendations. I recommend this restaurant for a date night, or for anyone looking to enjoy a good Indian cuisine. read more

This is a carry out experience review. Ordered two mains: biryani with lamb, chicken and shrimp. I ordered mild-medium but it was still a bit on the spicy side. Note that this is my first time going to Gateway so I'm learning their spice levels. I also did the tandoori chicken. I sort of liked it. I have had it elsewhere where it was better in my opinion. The staff were truly lovely. I do plan on going for a dine in experience soon. I anticipate it will be a terrific time. read more

Gateway's cuisine and service is always five stars. It's always a delight from vegitarian to lamb and everything in between is a can't miss. If you are feeling a little adventurous, give it a try. A true dining experience read more

I returned to Gateway to India with a friend to try out the outdoor seating and get an additional Indian food fix. I had the Tandoori salmon with a side of plain saag (they priced it like the spinach soup). It was delicious! We also got Naan and roti bread. We ordered a bottle of the Malbec which to our surprise, came out (1) already open - usually they open the bottle in front of you; (2) the malbec was from France of all places; and (3) it tasted watery. Despite the wine disappointment, the food was very good and service was also decent. I'd definitely return! read more

We haven't had this place in a few years but I'm so glad we ordered! We got the butter chicken, garlic naan, and mango lassi. Absolutely delicious! Giant pieces of tender chicken; lassi was so refreshing. I wish they delivered but the food is worth the pick up. I'm really looking forward to eating in-house. The last time we ate here it was dine in, and I remember it being an enjoyable experience. read more

Stellar food and restaurant! From the moment I walked in we were treated well. Food was great and I'll come again.

Such a good quick easy place for sit down or take out meals. Good portions of food, we order mild and it was perfect flavoring. Clean atmosphere with plenty of parking. Highly recommend if you want authentic Indian. Server was helpful with recommendations and going through the menu. Loved it! We will definitely be back. read more

Gateway To India - Garlic Naan, Palak Paneer, Channa Massala (Vegan) - Indian Near Me - Longwood, Florida

One of the best Indian restaurants in Orlando! I couldn't recommend any other Indian restaurant higher.

Always love this place! Atmosphere is usually great, the servers are very kind, the portions are heavy and the spice is real spicy!! Ask for Indian Hot if you really want your mouth to burn Big fan of the Vindaloo, Samosas, Garlic Naan... Good prices too and everything is always steaming hot when it comes out If you've never had Indian you need to and this is the place to go!!!! read more

This is the best Indian food I have ever had. I travel for a living, and this is hands down the best Indian food. The portions are great, the ambiance is so comforting and the service is amazing every time. I've put so many of my family members on to this place and we LOVE IT. read more

This is a great little place for authentic Indian food . It hits the spot just right . The flavors are amazing , the prices are very good . Pretty decent service too. Overall very good. read more

Food was under seasoned. Was super surprised. Think maybe cause it's a tourist area they're trying to please the pallet of others. When I asked for hot sauces, I was given Tabasco sauce. That shocked me, it ruined the taste of our food.. I did enjoy a rice dish that came with chicken and saffron. Had a decent amount of spice. If I'm not mistaken I put the heat level at five and it was OK. Service took a while maybe because it was a Saturday at dinner time the place looks really fancy and clean, but most likely will never go back. read more

Server was not welcoming. Vegetable Biryani tasted like it was made with frozen vegetables and was very bland.

Wow!! Incredible food! I'm a bit particular about butter chicken and I think this might be the best one I've had. It was thick and so incredibly flavorful, better than I've had possibly ever. The chicken was delightfully tender and cooked perfectly. Nice portion too. That flavor is something I'll never forget. Samosa chaat packed full of ingredients, so much goodness in there. Absolutely love it. Chicken Tiki was very tender and had great flavor. Highly recommend. 10/10 will be ordering again soon! read more

We've been looking for a good Indian food restaurant since we moved up to Central Florida. This was one of the better establishments we have found so far. We are still looking for that special place..... read more

We found this great Indian place totally by chance when the Thai place we usually go to said their kitchen was no longer serving. We were greeted very warmly by 2 waitresses who gladly answered our questions in familiarizing ourselves with their dishes. My husband right away commented how good the everything smelled just from entering the restaurant. Their menu was plenty varied especially an entire page of Vegetarian items from which I could eat. The portions were just the right size to satisfy and were delicious. I had their Malai Kofta which was mild and creamy and my husband had the chicken Saag (spinach). I also recommend their papadam and vegetarian appetizers. We plan to return and bring family. Excellent food. read more

Food here is always good!We come here 2x a month because the butter chicken is the best. But seems the portion maybe getting a little bit tight. We used to get a big portion of rice and chicken but lately it's been a little skimpy. Times are tough I guess. Service is so so some of the cashiers can be a little rude but who knows maybe having a bad day. But the owner is always super awesome and friendly I wish she talk to her staff and tell them to be more nice!!! Ambiance is always great and plenty of space to sit. Hope this helps guys! Would rate higher but the staff can be really rude. read more
