    Vegetable korma
    Bella B.

    This family owned establishment is truly lovely! This is my 3rd time dining here with close friends I have here in Buffalo! I always make a point of stopping for Jassa's delicious cuisine. His chicken wings are crispy, beautifully spiced & the sauce is divine. His chai is the real deal, highly recommend. I love the chicken korma & garlic naan. Tell your friends.

    This was my first visit here and WOW! I was impressed! My husband and I had movie tickets to see Pee Wee's Big Adventure at the North Park Theater to honor the recent passing of Mr. Paul Reubens so I said let's make a night of it and try India Gate right down the street. I adore Indian and he likes it too. So we made reservations for 7pm on a Sunday. When we got there it was obvious we didn't need a reservation as the place wasn't very busy but the gentleman who greeted us knew my name as soon as I said while looking around "we have a reservation-- not that I think we needed one but hey--" lol We decided to sit on the patio and I'm glad we did. It was such a nice evening and we watched the cars and bicycles go by. We had quite a bit of time before our movie so we started with cocktails. A Heineken for him and a strawberry Lassi martini for me. YUM!! When it came to the food, we started with an order of beef samosas, which were very good. We also sprang for a plate of chicken pakora. My husband had never had pakora before and he didn't like it, but he liked the samosa quite a bit. For our entrees he went with the beef curry and I stepped out of my usual and went with the chicken vindaloo. I almost always get Makhani-- unless I go with saag alu, but I decided to branch out and I'm glad I did. It was great. Of course I had to have some garlic naan and a small side of raita, and when I was about to order some mango chutney, our server asked if he could make a suggestion and then easily talked me into trying the spicy pickles. WOW!! They were so good!! We I should add that we asked for our dishes to be made spicy and boy oh boy did we get spicy! Don't get me wrong, my husband and I wanted it spicy-- it's just that we usually don't get it. If we order delivery and ask for spicy, it comes spicy. If we go in person and ask for spicy, we get something closer to mild. I have come to the conclusion that people who look like us who THINK they like spicy food, actually don't. WELL, WE DO! When I go to Vietnamese restaurants I get often have to get a dish of chopped Thai chilis on the side of whatever I've ordered because it usually isn't hot enough. But this place accommodated us right out the gate!! Phew!! This is the first place I've been to in the Buffalo area that actually made the food hot enough for us the first time! My super picky husband was very impressed and said he'd be happy to come back here with me often! Now that's a stamp of approval! Thank you, IG Hertel! We loved everything and we'll see you soon!

    The food is amazing. It is very authentic, always fresh and tasty. The staff is helpful with making decisions and super friendly. Value to portion is spot on. They have tons of naan bread choices, all good! You won't leave hungry or unsatisfied.

    Cute intimate spot with great hospitality. I suggest the Thursday buffet where you can try out an assortment of things.

    *Taste of Buffalo review* Festival food can sometimes be subpar just due to the pace and quantity at which they have to make it but this was delicious! The flavor was very well seasoned - I personally like a tomato-ey sauce and this was perfect. The only thing I would change is to make it spicier. I added the restaurant to my list to visit because I'm sure it will be even better. And they gave a giant portion for what it cost.

    One of the best Indian Restaurants in the whole of USA hands down . The flavors are very rich , dishes are authentic and service is class apart. Amazing ambience and nice atmosphere. Jaspal took special care of us and made the best Punjabi food we have ever had in USA

    India Gate was a pleasure. The service was warm and friendly. The food was delicious! Spice was just right and all the dishes tasted freshly made. The chef was charming! Highly recommend.

    Rosa W.

    Beautiful restauraunt. Lovely, clean, lavish feel. staff was great. Everyone was quick, friendly and attentive. My drink was okay, but I really was excited that they had a cocktail menu. They had a separate drink menu that included tea, smoothies, cocktails and wine (and maybe beer? I dont remember). I always appreciate a good drink menu! The food menu was also extensive, well organized, and felt like a nice book! All sorts of options, including vegetarian. This was my first time eating Indian food so i loved how everything had a description. Food came out hot and in large portions. Everything was also very reasonably priced. I ended up getting garlic naan (delicious) and chicken butter masala. This was my first time eating indian food, and i'm not sure if its for me, but i'm glad I tried it (i'm just not super into spicy food, but of you love lots of seasonings and spice, you'll enjoy it!) They also have mild or hot options for most things, which is cool. Overall great experience. I recommend if this is a cuisine that you typically enjoy.

    I can't believe I've never reviewed this place before! Hands down, my number one option for Indian cuisine. Conveniently located on Hertel, they have their own parking lot and generally aren't too busy. The waiter is always super friendly and inviting. Anything you want, he will try his best to cater to you! The lamb kabobs are delicious and served with a perfect brown sauce to top it off. The brown sauce has a bit of a sweet aspect to it. The butter chicken tikka masala is my favorite dish. The chicken is tender with a creamy sauce. The chicken tikka masala is a bit spicy and has a lot of onions, tomatoes and peppers. Nonetheless, a wonderful experience everyone should try!

    Some of the best Indian food we've ever had! Jaspal the owner is a great host! The bhaturey were soooo good, so were the garlic naan

    Beautiful Decorations!

    My mom, dad, and I were searching for Indian restaurants and we found India Gate. It has great reviews and for good reason! It totally lived up to the reviews! The food, service, and ambiance/decorations were all incredible! Next time, we will bring my grandparents and my sister! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

    This was my first time at a sit-down Indian restaurant. I've only had take out before. It was a…read moresplendid time. Not only was the food so flavorful and delicious, the service was amazing. We enjoyed the restaurant's eclectic music throughout the meal, and it had a cool beer menu as well (with some beers imported directly from India). This is a strong family-owned business, and you can tell they truly care and are proud of what they serve to you. I will say, walking in on a Saturday night, the place was dead. But as we sat, loads of people stopped in to grab take out. I encourage those who read this to dine in! Not only will you avoid a delivery fee, but you'll get a chance to take in one of the more unique and chill vibes of a restaurant I've been in around Buffalo.

We've done the buffet twice, and the turnover keeps it fresh and the many chutneys and spices keep the standards good. They pride themselves on non-"Americanized" versions of the food, and while I'm no expert, it seems like they take a few more chances than some of the other buffets in town. The beer and wine menu can be a little out of date, but even there, the prices and selection are good. Service has been friendly on both occasions that we've been. This one's a keeper. Has a parking lot.

    We have definitely enjoyed a lot of Indian food in Kenmore. For this restaurant, the taste ranks…read morehighest, with good service, and a simple atmosphere. We started with chicken samosas and poppers with fries for appetizers. The family bundles made for more affordable and easy ordering. We opted for the tandoori bundle with a few different chicken based dishes, a salad, and naan for $39.99. Then we added on the cheese naan. Salad is your basic iceberg salad with olives, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The curry had a thickened tomato soup-like base but seasoned well and great for dipping the naan. Chicken Tikka kebab came with both leg and breast meat. The tandoori over rice was seasoned with cilantro and a creamy sauce. The server was very friendly and appreciative of the business. He wasn't an owner but showed a lot of pride for the restaurant. He brought rice pudding out for the kids at the end. Atmosphere is very casual and outdated. To the right is counter service for easy takeout ordering. Then to the left is eat in with a waiter. Drinks are all canned/bottle. There's a kulfi case with a bunch of flavors to pick from for dessert. Looked yummy, but we were pretty full.

Finally, somebody went up to complain to the owner. He walks back there looking around and all of a sudden bam food starter coming out. It's just not right you're open to nine. You should have enough food to feed the people that are paying good money to eat there yes some of the food choices I like did get replenished, but only complaining about it although the new place is nice. I don't think we will go back.also as we we're eating what was left lol most of the servers and what appeared to be cooks and dishwashers were eating their special dinners throughout the dining room no wonders no food was being made so I would suggest if you want to make the gamble go in early so you can get a wide variety of their food and not have to worry about them running out or not putting out any more replenishes so I'll just leave at that.
