India Gate in Arun

Great food, Great service. Great value 😍

I suffer with a rare condition called Achalasia which makes eating very difficult, I ordered a chef special biryani and wow it was was delicious, cooked perfectly with light and fluffy rice , absolutely amazing dish just how I like it, the staff were smart , polite and friendly. I can’t recommend this experience enough. Thank you for a delicious meal.

Great service, lovely clean and comfortable environment and great food.

AVOID!!!!! Ordered a collection curry and got home and they didn’t put half the correct, food in it. I phoned them and they told me to drive back to the restaurant, 25 minutes away to collect what they have missed out. I said I rather you deliver and they said no and they said you bring the food back and we did and they never refunded us!

Seems to be under two names. India Gate and India Royal. Food was really good but over £13 for two large cokes is hard to bare. Nice but won't be going back unfortunately.

1st visit and I was hungry granted, but I have to say the food was great, staff helpful and courteous and reasonably busy for a Monday night. 👍😁

Actually it's not indian food I feel like when I eat that food its bengalli food there are serving ....I don't know the shop name is india gate but food is bengalli and why there spoiling indian food culture name ???

Having moved to the Littlehampton area a year ago we’ve struggled to find a decent Indian restaurant, went a little further to Arundel and found this place, really good! Not eaten in the restaurant yet but the takeaway is delicious. Worth the trip out.

Arun Ramchandranayak Chavan House

The food is delicious and the restaurant is clean, I loved it

Went with old work colleagues for a catch-up . Food was really good and well definitely go back. Fortunately, it wasn't too busy, which made the erratic service surprising. Definitely recommend the chicken and King Prawn balti 😋😋😋.

Called yesterday to book a table for 7:30, finally got seated at 8:30, after being told they shouldn’t have taken our booking. Placed order just before 9, for food not to arrive until 9:40. Food was ok. Then had to chase 3x for the bill with the threat of walking out to get the bill. Would not recommend this place.

Very nice restaurant and great food.

Service was good, food was great

Lovely meal with attentive service.

Always fantastic food, this is a busy restaurant and has busy takeaway service aswell. Service is attentive, and the atmosphere is relaxing. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent restuarant!! Great service, food very consistent, would always recommend this venue!!

It works for some,.it slides down the drain for the rest. This place was talked about in high regard in terms of taste. Read the reviews after my visit, saw people were liking the taste. So I write only from my perspective, taste is anything but Indian for me. The garlic naan was like everything but a naan too sweet, topped with probably very little garlic. I think the original Indian recipes have been tinkered badly to adapt to the local availability of ingredients or taste buds of the local customer base. The service was good and with a smile, but the person taking the order was up selling by suggesting we order some starters even after we refusing the first time. So try this place, you may like it or may not. It depends on how much you know about Indian food.

First curry for 18 months and it was bloomin delicious 😋.

Lovely food that was worth the wait!

Have the tandoori mixed grill. I couldn't finish it so took the leftovers home and had them for breakfast next day.

The very best. Great food and nice people

STAY AWAY!!! We got take aways from this Indian restaurant after being hesitant after reading some reviews, unfortunately this was the worst decision we made during our stay in Arundel. The food was disgusting and ended up with severe food poisoning. Do yourself a favour and stay away.

Absolutely marvellous-best curry we have ever had. Staff are so helpful. Back from suffolk for our second visit - well worth the trip ! Rasel is the best, great service!

A likeable Indian covering two floors. Tucked away around the corner but central. Expensive compared with others but very good nonetheless

Worst Indian food. Very Sweet Naan 0 spice Sag paneer. When I asked to make it bit spicy, in my curry of 1 person 2 chillies were added. It was a very bad experience. Will not recommend anyone. Service was superslow and waiters/manager didn't bother if we like food or we need anything.

Lovely food, we found some very different dishes. Service was promp, friendly and professional. Great experience highly recommend.

Very good indian(actually Bangladesh) on par with top tier in London. Super attentive service and nice ambiance. Extensive menu with some unique options. Garlic chilli was very good.

Ordered several times. Masala and Madras. Masala was nicely flavoured, with hints of coconut and the Madras was spot on in terms of heat.

Very nice food, staff was great Gets busy at the weekend may need to book if there are a few of you

Firstly the atmosphere in the restaurant and the service were fine. But the food was disappointing. We ordered potato cakes to start, but then had to send them back because they were still frozen in the middle. They were quickly replaced without fuss. But when we did eventually come to eat them they were rather bland. And the same goes for the main courses, plain tasting. I go to an Indian restaurant because hopefully there is an Indian chef who carefully blends fresh herbs and spices to produce a tasty meal. This was not the case at the India Gate. In my opinion the kitchen needs a bit of a review.

Nice meal, not exceptional, good service very attentive, quite expensive but it's Arundel so you have to expect it.

Very accommodating and friendly restaurant - will happily visit again. Great food!

Excellent food, tender and very tasty lamb Tikka

The vegetarian food was good but not upto my expectations. Also the vegetarian options are quite less here. Good place for non-vegtarians I think.

Really good food and nice atmosphere

Fantastic food, visiting for the weekend and booked a table for the Saturday evening. It was very busy so service was a bit slow, but the staff were lovely and kept apologising for the delay, when the food arrived it was worth the wait!

Had visited this establishment approximately 2 decades ago and had forgotten about it, my wife found a positive online review and so we checked the menu, booked a table for Mothers day and had a great meal, the staff were cheerful and helpful and given that five of us ate the bill was not steep, we will be returning

Honestly one of the best curry's I have had. Nan bread exceptional. Will be coming back !

Had great meal here. Tasty food and king cobra beer to match.

Locally recommended and food was very good. Nice and polite staff very helpful

Best Indian meal l have had in the area for a long time.Really tasty, authentic and well priced.going back!

Best Indian in the local area as far as Littlehampton and Rustington goes. Good selection of dishes and reasonable size portions. A little high on prices but it's pleasantly decorated in a contemporary style and has a good ambience.

Myself and a friend made to wait 15 minutes for a table we'd booked, in walks a group of people who hadn't booked and got seated before us! Food was ok but based on that experience I wouldn't be in a hurry to return.

Unfortunately we didn't have the best of experiences, we were a party of 7 pre booked. 4 of us arrived 10 minutes early and were happy to wait but were quickly shown to our table, menus supplied and drink orders taken. Within a couple of minutes we were asked if we were ready to order, we explained we were waiting for everyone to arrive. Another couple of minutes we were asked again, again we replied we were waiting for the rest of the party and it still wasn't our booked time yet. Our friends arrived on time and were shown to the table, drinks orders immediately taken and you guessed it we were asked if we were ready to order. The whole evening we felt we were being rushed even though the place was half empty all evening. The food was very mediocre and my lamb shashlik was tough as old boots, to be polite I asked for a doggy bag to take home rather than complain as I thought no one else at the table had any problems. It wasn't until we left that everyone else said theirs wasn't up to expected standard and wondered if it was a different chef or short staffed.

Was packed out at 7.15 on a Friday, with a lively atmosphere Service was a quick turnaround, hence no a long time between courses To be honest the cheesey nan bread was one of the best I've ever had. They normally are a really stodgy accompnement but this was really light and fluffy The food you see are: garlic mushrooms, cauliflower bahjee, tandoori chicken and lamb sagg

I was pushed into a £10 bottle of beer!! The duck curry was taste less and they where rude from the start!!

Fantastic food and customer service

Came here without a reservation on a busy Friday night. They got us seated, and the service was great. Food was amazing! Whoever was running the kitchen deserves a medal. Five stars all round, cannot find anything to complain about.

Been a little while since we visited and feel like they where a little overwhelmed this evening and the level of service was not what they normally offer, but the food was still good and it won't stop us returning

Beautiful restaurant, great staff and amazing food! Love going here with family! A brilliant selection of various dishes, and the portions are huge!

Underwhelmingly less than average curry. Overcooked chicken. Waiter very keen to whip your plates away almost before you straighten your cutlery. Red wine was off.

Lovely food and decor. Looking forward to returning.

Fabulous takeaway. Quick service very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Great food, great service, great location. Will be back 👍

Fantastic meal. Great staff lovely atmosphere

Staggeringly brilliant food, went for the Royal Lamb and it was by far the most luxurious Indian I have ever had. Nice environment and friendly welcome, can't wait to go back.

Excellent food and friendly staff :) the onion bhajis were particularly good

I did a collection - although they advertise that they do offer delivery, in fact, they don’t do delivery. I asked at collection if it was all there, they said “yes”. And as I don’t know what is in each container I took their word and big smiles to be assurance it was all there. And what happens next. Yes, for sure, I got home and some of my food was missing. And because I live too far away to return to the restaurant to collect the missing items (whilst the rest of my meal spoiled) I called them to ask what could be done. As they don’t do delivery they couldn’t rectify the issue- and instead of refunding me the missing meal they said they’d credit my next meal. Perplexed but didn’t have time to argue, I had some food to eat before it got cold. So that’s a generous 2* rating (unfortunately) - entirely based on that experience.

I usually love duck in a curry. I was served uncooked duck skin in a bowl swimming in duck fat. It was hard work to eat. Sadly I’ve had a few below average meals from here.

Great food I ordered online and it was good punctuality and food looked an d tasted great staff were mega helpful 👍

Brilliant food, fantastic service & excellent decor. Loved it

Thoroughly enjoyed a lovely evening with friends. Friendly service, spotlessly clean, well run, great menu choice and well cooked served with presentation and style. Good range of beers and wines to accompany our meal. I have been dining in and using takeaway for 15 years and not once a poor meal. Cannot recommend highly enough! Peter

Excellent customer care , service and ambiance. Would strongly recommend the India Royal, food quality was excellent.

Lovely restaurant, great menu selection, not just your typical Indian menu, they had some more unusual choices. Great value and service. Can't wait to go back

Nice friendly, welcoming, well worth going in

Normally love having food from here excellent food. Tonight my partner was handed our takeaway and they had mixed up the orders. We were rudely spoken to on the phone about this when we called to let them know, and when we brought it back WE were blamed for the mix up. Very rude and unacceptable. Several occasions have also missed or mixed up things in our orders. Such a shame as we were very loyal customers and have spent quite a lot of money there over the last 2 years. Won’t be doing so again.

Very pleasant good food and service

Always friendly helpful staff. Food is always brilliant never had a problem in +10 years of going there. If you're feeling cheeky ask for a Bailey's on the house with the bill.

Can't fault the food or the staff. Lovely seeing, amazing food. Can be a little loud when it gets busy due to the size of the restaurant but definitely worth visiting.

Always a go-to restaurant, outstanding food and choice.

Delicious, fresh food, modern style. Very high quality. Excellent service.

We go here frequently, the food is always good, but the service, for a moderately busy evening, felt rushed and a bit sloppy.

Fantastic Indian, Russel looked after our cricket team amazingly well. Delicious food.

The staff were very attentive and welcoming. Lots of choice on the menu. Bhajis seemed to be a favourite amongst everyone

We managed to get a late night meal here when the rest of Arundel had closed. The staff were polite and helpful, the food was fantastic and it was a well presented indian restaurant. Fully recommend to any one in the area

Very nice curry, good portion sizes, managed to get a seat without booking.

Lovely food as usual and very friendly and attentive staff

Staff are pleasant. Waited 10 minutes for a table so a very popular place locally. Waited about an hour for our food to arrive. Food was good, not great. For me the place is too big, not enough space between tables especially at this time, a little noisy and I don't want to wait an hour for my food.

Absolutely delicious Indian food 😋 Friendly staff x

Amazing Chicken Shaslick, Coconut Rice, Vegatable Masala and Garlic Naan, would definitely go back!

High quality food and friendly staff. Was only takeaway due to lockdown, but will definitely return and can’t wait to dine in when able to.

Booked for my birthday on halloween. Service appalling . Had to remind waiter after 45 mins when meal was going to arrive . A curt response. . My wine glass had not been washed with red wine residue on the bottom of the glass. No apology . Disgraceful. Reason for delay in serving food was that they were too busy dealing with takeaway orders. As for social distancing ,did not apply to table spacing...same amount of tables being used as there were pre..covid, and no 2 metre rules either, no one waa asked to scan track and trace and they werent bothered about masks either. Can't fault the food, what we ate of it anyway, aa we felt so uncomfortable that we left before finishing.

Lovely food, great service but maybe a touch expensive.

Oily food, but flavoursome with an interesting menu. The food certainly isn’t bland, and all the meat is nicely marinated and full of flavour. The thing I can’t get over though is the thick oily shine that every meal is coated with. I’ve tried several things from the menu and the recurring theme is an abundance of ghee which kind of spoils it for me. The people are very nice snd friendly and it has an upmarket if not slightly dated feel to it. Things like food dye to make the rice multi-coloured is no longer the fun novelty it once might have been, and the food is definitely on the mild side of 🌶 to cater for a broad tourist market, but overall you can see they’ve made an effort to be different and offer a diverse menu with interesting dishes. The specials particularly were very tasty.

I have eaten here and the food is good but the chef is let down by the fact the restaurant deliberately overcharges for drinks. This happened to me and has happened tp friends of mine as well. Check your bill. They are crafty and do not itemise drinks.

Wide varied menu, nearly always busy, main dining area downstairs and they have more space upstairs which is ok with it's own bar.

Food excellent. One waiter was not so sociable but rest very goid

Super yummy curry in a really smart environment😋

We visited Friday night, place was busy.All waiter's was very friendly. We asked for special something. They said chef's was expert on it.When food was arrived we realized they're not wrong. It was mouth watering meal we had.Service was perfect. Thank you Mr Rumman, Mr Belal. It was brilliant night out with various spice full meal. We'll visit soon.

Great service and value for money in beautiful surroundings

Bit of a production line restaurant, quickly in, served and out. The food was quite bland, with the vegetable Massalla being a bowl of orange sauce with no discernable vegetables and no taste, resulting in one unhappy vegetarian wife! Overall, the food was very salty and lukewarm- We would not revisit. On the positive side - beer was ok

One of the best take aways I have had for a long time.

Had the murgh masala and it was delightful. Really good service, friendly staff and good food

Four friends had a great evening meal...

The chefs were on fire last night, the food was outstanding. Table of 4, very happy

Turned up early on a chilly night in Arundel. We were met with a welcoming smile and politeness. The service was excellent, possibly as we were the only ones in there but probably not. New and exciting things on the menu and it all tasted wonderful. We thought that it was very good value for the money and do recommend. Free 'after 18:00' parking in the nearby Mill St.Car Park was a bonus.

Really nice food and great evening had by all. Price was pretty good to

Rang to order curry. Phone person said "collection only". Odd way to start a conversation. Then when I said I couldn't collect he abruptly ended the call. So that's my experience. Obviously can't review the food as never got that far and won't be phoning them again! How rude!! Wish you could give no stars.

Nice meal the drinks waiter was exceptional
