India Gate in Dumfries & Galloway

Our visit to India Gate restaurant in Newton Stewart left us feeling somewhat disappointed. While the food itself was enjoyable, we couldn’t help but notice the stark difference in prices between the restaurant menu and the takeaway menu. It was disheartening to see that dining in cost more than twice as much as opting for takeaway. Furthermore, the wait times were longer than expected, and the staff appeared visibly stressed. It was evident that they were working tirelessly, and we couldn’t help but feel sorry for them, especially considering the outdated order system they had to contend with. Despite the tasty food, the overall experience fell short of our expectations. The combination of high prices, long wait times, and stressed staff left us feeling less than satisfied. We would rate India Gate restaurant 2.5 stars out of 5. While the food was decent, the overall dining experience left much to be desired.

The food, was lovely, the service was prompt & friendly, however the prices were astronomical. Chicken Chilli Masala £14.95 PLUS £3.50 for rice, £3.25 for a small glass of cordial!!! Checked with my local in Blackpool, & it was £8.75 for the curry plus £2 for rice.... Good food, but not that good, the price spoiled the experience for us.

Never again The recommended stars are bull 5hit My online order became a collection order because of no delivery driver

Terrible service when booking a delivery online, delivery option on website but they would not deliver, took the money and hung up the phone whenever a refund was asked for. Do not waste your money, they would not believe we asked for delivery and kept saying we asked for collection.

Food is lovely but check your order before you leave the premises. Both times I've ordered takeaway meals there has been items missing. When I called to tell the restaurant I wasn't offered a refund or the items replaced because I couldn't go back to the restaurant to collect. A woman who received her meal before me stood and went through her whole order and had a good few items missing from her order. That tells me they regularly miss out items if customers empty their orders before leaving the premises.

Good takeaway, slipped up by forgetting to deliver the rice but sent a taxi with it after a short wait. They could have added some pakora or even poppadoms or something to make up for the error, but didn’t. Food itself was pretty good through, lamb and chicken was good quality meat. Portions generous as well. We would definitely use them again if in the area. Other takeaway reviews locally are not great but I recommend India Gate.

Me and my boyfriend went to the India Gate with 2 friends. All 4 of us ordered 4 different dishes and we were all delighted with them. We started with poppadoms and pickles. The poppadoms were crisp and warm and completely grease free…perfect poppadoms. I chose the chicken tikka tandoori and it was delicious. Sizzling away as it was bought to the table from the kitchen. Generous sized, juicy, succulent chunks of chicken with a tasty sauce and a very, very generous portion of rice. The service was efficient and friendly, we were not rushed at all. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and would definitely return.

Oh my goodness this place is wonderful! Such tasty food and the chicken tikka is authentic , tender and extremely tasty. Popadoms and naan breads a total triumph too. Really friendly and kind young waitress. Absolute credit to the area.

Fantastic food & very helpful pleasant staff. This is a great restaurant & as a plus you can bring your own alcoholic drinks. Overall highly recommended
