India Gate in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Ate in the restaurant on Tuesday 5th November. The food and service was absolutely brilliant and our waiter was absolutely hilarious! Thank you for our welcome to King's Lynn!

Ate in the restaurant this evening. The food and service was fantastic. Thanks for the welcome to King's Lynn. 😊

Food was lovely, cooked well and came out very fast! The meal deal for 15.99 was unbeatable value and could be configured to allow for anyone’s taste! We’ll definitely be visiting again when we come to Mablethorpe

Food was Good, But They Charged Extra. And No what soever was informed. I ordered Banquet meal and with that I had ordered a Raita. For Which they Charged 5 Extra.

Service was pretty much non-existent and food was awful. The chicken tasted as if it was pumped with water and lamb was awful.

Terrible food and service a week ago. A tasteless jalfrezi, and inedible muttar panir. Insensitive interruptions while we chatted. And then they used a credit card machine that couldn't show us the amount we were about to be charged. We'll never be returning.

Great food with attentive staff. The food tasted great and was very well presented.

Worst service, indiscipline staff

Probably the best curry I’ve ever had. I know some may say it’s boring, but I chose the butter chicken - and wow, look at the colour!!! It was unbelievable. Best butter chicken I have ever had. My partner had the chicken bhuna and said it was brilliant too. Staff are always lovely, food was brilliant and fast service. Good prices too!!

Great all round service and value.....

The quality and flavours of the food were fantastic, will definitely order again.

The best Indian food in and around King's Lynn and excellent service.

Great food from the India Gate as always. Love the Lamb Chops! Will order again!!

We were very late when we arrived at the restaurant and asked if it was possible to arrange a table, the staff had no qualms about serving us, with a warm attitude. The food was to die for and my wife and I had to commend the chef for his cooking , as we consider this is the best Indian food we had ever experienced. The starter through to the main course was an absolute culinary experience. Truly Astounding !!! Guys your service and our experience was second to none, and thank you for your total professionalism - you made our night!! Next time we come to Kings Lynn we will definitely be coming to see you and booking a table, hopefully earlier this time !!!!

After an hour of waiting for my food I received a text message to say my food was delayed. 20 minutes later I called the restaurant to ask what time I should expect delivery, to be told my order has been cancelled because they were too busy. Nobody had contacted me to let me know. The person I spoke to on the phone was rude and patronising and refused to help, saying ‘it is yofoodie’s problem not ours’. After being a loyal customer here for a few years I will never order again after this service. Appalling.

Excellent and delicious as always

Didn’t receive 2 portions of rice. Rang restaurant who said they’d give us an extra dish on our next order!!!?!? What good is that?? Said I’d like my rice now or a refund - they said they couldn’t give a refund. I’d paid £9 for rice I hadn’t received. Told them I would complain and hung up. Got a call back 10 mins later halfway through our meal saying they would send our rice! Told them we were almost finished now and our meal was ruined.

i have put food was 15mins late but after 1/2 hr after putting order in they changed the delivery time by about another hour so it was lots later than we was expecting, the delivery driver said why didnt i pick me phone up when he rang but it never rang our end. food was only warm.

The best indian restaurant in kings lynn, the food was awesome as usual, full of great taste and flavour, as well as the fantastic service from the staff,very friendly and effecient,We have been dining at this restaurant over the last 30 years, and its quite simply the best quality indian in town.

Deliciously food and great service from Habib and his colleagues . I came here every night when I was in King's Lynn. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely disgusting, the Currys is sweeter than the deserts, shocking, place should be shut down with a lack of communication and poor quality food, no real pics of currys. Stay away

Disappointed with the food, no flavour, madras was not hot, keema nan didn’t have any meat in. Onion bhaji was bland. The chef wasn’t paying attention today :(

The family and I have ordered from here a few times . First Indian takaway I have tried and I love the chicken and mushroom biriyani, its very filling, big portion and delicious. My partner and mum love the korma and order it every time. Delivery is usually quite good, never been later than estimated time of arrival. The chips are also very nice. The only issue we have had is the naan bread either comes soggy or burnt in delivery but its not a big issue. I appreciate that for most of the deliveries they have kept the hot food seperate from the cold drinks which is often an issue I have with other restaurants. Would recommend :)

We were seated by bar. Immediately the waiter started spraying air freshener around the bar area which was really unpleasant. We tried to have a conversation about wine but he was very difficult and contentious about the choices, which they do not really have. Our meal arrived which was fine but not brilliant. Loud conversations between 3 staff members in bar area overshadowed our own conversation. We found the main waiter not very helpful or friendly. Wouldn't go again.

as normal food was delivered late food only lukewarm, cold food put in with hot food so got ruined

Ordered a takeaway at 6:33 pm.. waited until 8:07 pm, thought it was odd nothing had turned up, phoned up to see where the order was...and was told it had gone to a different address and we had to Re-order. Even though we ordered through just eats!! The address is clearly stated... just had abuse hurled at us on the phone, being a regular customer for years before and having numerous deliveries to this exact address! Will no longer order from here. Feel cheated.

Absolutely lovely food. Hot and tasty. Thank you

Food really nice. Delivery later than expected but it is Mother’s Day.

Absolutely horrified to have our food delivered with no rice last night, not even helpful about sending rice out of if I wanted to wait 2 hours or cook my own. I WILL NOT BE HAVING YOU AGAIN.

21/2 hours late no communication from restaurant very disappointing

I've used the India Gate for over 20 years for takeaways and dining in and found the food good, mostly. What is terrible is their delivery times. We've had a number of late deliveries over the last year or so, but we've been reasonable about it. Today I placed an order online at 6.15pm for a 7.30pm delivery. This was accepted by the restaurant and the delivery time agreed for 7.30pm. At 8.10pm I clicked on the delivery not arrived link on the app and got a response the food would be delivered by 8.50pm. This is unacceptable. The food was actually delivered at 8.35pm, over an hour late considering we ordered in good time. The food was just about cold, the bags were a sloppy mess as all the oil had separated out and leaked out of the containers. To add insult to injury, the restaurant did not supply the popadam we ordered and paid for either. So, we had to mop up all the oil and put the food in the oven for 10 mins. Kind of ruined our evening. I then found out that our guests had recently telephoned the restaurant to see if there was a table for 4 available. The call taker abruptly said 'no chance' the put the phone down on them. How rude is that? They decided never to use this restaurant again. This place has gone downhill. I will not be using them again.

Ordered food to be delivered after waiting 3 hrs I rang the shop. Manager answered with no care at all! Absolute joke!! DO NOT ORDER OR VISIT THIS PLACE ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!

Excellent service and food The best Indian in kings lynn

Ordered at 6pm for delivery at 7:20pm. From 7:25pm the app showed as our food being delivered but we hadn't received it. Left it until 7:45pm and decided to give The India Gate a call, just to check really, incase it had been delivered to wrong address. The guy on the phone initially queried if we'd actually ordered through Just Eat and then said "it's with the driver" and abruptly hung up! We decided we'd give it until 8:15pm and then call back if our order hadn't turned up by then. It arrived at 8pm, so 40 minutes after estimated time. The driver immediately apologised for being later when we opened the door. We didn't overly mind it being 40 minutes late, we weren't going anywhere. But when we dished up (which was upon receiving) none of it was hot and the chips were hard and chewy - just awful! Naan breads are very small for price compared to other Indian restaurants we use and £9 for 4 onion bhaji is way too much - we expected double for that price, not sure how that is justified 😫 Flavours were nice but we were just really disappointed that it was luke warm at best. Can only assume that the app was right and our order had indeed been with the driver since 7:10pm. Probably won't order again which I don't like to say, but when you're paying nearly £70 for a meal, you want it to be hot!

fantastic food on time brilliant 👏

Food was amazing. It took two hours to arrive from ordering, which was such a shame.

Easy to use app. Food delicious as always. Great delivery driver, very polite and professional :)

lovely food delivered efficiently. thank you.

Lovely evening with my girls. Great food, excellent service by imran as always. We would come again. The best Indian in town.

Order was a little late but it didn’t matter as the food was still hot and delicious.

Delivery fine but food quality poor. All food was cold and the potatoes were slightly hard. Not a great dining experience.

Hasn’t turned up been over 1.5 hrs after it should have arrived

There was a long wait on the food when ordered anyway so then too be late on top off that it worked out about 2 hours

Loved my experience here, staff are very talkative and helpful. The food was also divine and at a great price too!

Tandoori chicken didn't have much taste, chicken balti was ok.

Food was vile chips was rock hard they obviously were cooked day before and just sat there.

Just ordered delivery came quickly but the chips had been cooked and sat there that long they was rock solid with no potato left inside them. Literally worst chips I’ve ever seen ! Chicken curry tasteless. Such a shame as Indian food usually is very flavourful. Won’t be ordering from here again !

Best Indian in town. Good food. good service. Good atmosphere.

Really disappointed, usually India Gate has great food. But this time, some of it was burnt and the nan bread was seriously undercooked… it was still dough.

Cold food 2 hours from when I ordered it.

Food was nice but paying £9 for 4 onion bhaji’s seems a bit excessive

The food was lovely when it did arrive 50 mins late, maybe not my best order, when ring the guy on the phone laughed at me and said he would give something on the house but nothing extra was given, 50 mins is far to late for a delivery.

That’s the most unauthentic tandoori chicken I have ever eaten in my life

Must’ve been a busy Tuesday night, order delayed by 45mins. Food didn’t arrive hot but was tasty.

Chicken tikka Bhuna was tasteless

Driver was a tad late but understandable as my house is quite hard to find. Was very pleased with the food, incredible quality and it tasted great. The delivery driver was also very friendly and overall I would say it is 5 stars, I would order from them again.

Delicious food. We didn’t hear the driver knock, but he was exceptionally polite when he rang to let us know he was hear. Will order from them again.

Best vindaloo I've had in quite some time! *****

Really late and the food was cold. The delivery status after I called them changed to delivered as it said it been with courier for 40mins! It wasn’t delivered!! Food was cold!

The food was lovely, however, we didn't receive the full order, and had to contact them for the rest. The delivery driver did not read the instructions to come to the side entrance, as our front door doesn't open.

Very nice food, perfectly cooked and presented. Good value. Would use again

Food was great, however Naan was a big thick and slightly under in places.

Basically stole our money, food ordered and paid for, never delivered. Phoned restaurant to ask where it was, hung up phone. Do not bother - very disappointed and hungry.

Fantastic food was piping hot and so tasty . highly recommend

Sorry to the delivery driver who got caught out in the rain waiting for us to answer the door, the doorbell turned out to be broken.

I paid for 7 mint sauce pots and only got two

Although delivery was late, the food was exceptional :)

India gate is by far the best Indian in kings Lynn ! Value and food quality ! I’ll never use anyone else

Awful We have been going here for a long while and it always seems go be 50/50 lately. But last night was horrendous. Starters were wrong... and when they came out they were cold (45 minutes of waiting since ordering) They forgot the side salad on one too. Then they didn't clear our dishes away... started to then got distracted by the phone The loud phone for delivery orders kept going and they seemed to care more about that to be honest. Never asked us how the starter was either Then we complained and they offered discount. Waited a while for mains... but in between they were arguing in the kitchen very loudly again... quite nasty it seemed. They even locked the kitchen door ! Then the mains come out and we have every spice range... from dupiaza (which they brought out bhuna) to jalfrezi. And everything tasted the same. Even the waiter couldn't see what it was ! The only thing nice about it was the naan Ended the evening arguing as they decided to only do 10% off. And it's not cheap there !!! We will not be returning for sure. Shame.

Argument in kitchen. Service very slow due to phone deliveries. Starter was cold and taste of food was bland. We won't be going back again.

Our order arrived early. The food was really tasty and would definitely order from there again.

Takeaway was excellent, chicken bhuna was cooked perfectly, lovely succulent chicken in a very tasty thick sauce. I can highly recommend!

First time we have ordered from this takeaway and was pleased with the food it was both tasty and hot and was delivered earlier than expected very good will use again 👍🏻

Not the best unfortunately. Burnt naans, overcooked chicken and not the most attentive service.

Excellent food, very tasty and was delivered in good time. It can be tricky to find my address but delivery guy called and I was able to guide him, would definitely order again

It won’t let me set it to 50 minutes late. Restaurant was very rude. Called twice as we were told to call back after 10 minutes - driver was late by 30 minutes by then. We were then told another 20 minutes then he hung up on us. Shocking customer service - will not be ordering from here again!

Food was nice but delivery time just not acceptable, won’t be ordering from here again

Enjoyed a lovely meal with family, service very good, dinner excellent, even though I’m not a fan of Indian food what we all had we enjoyed very much

It was late because of traffic but the food was still delicious and hot.

Excellent food. Hot and tasty. Thank you.

It tasted lovely. This dinner arrived early and I'm looking forward to buying more takeaways from this restaurant.

No meat in the keema Nan 🥺🥺 rest of the food was delicious, but didn’t get what I ordered.

Delivery driver had no change on them. Good was good, a little watery but fine.

The food was tasty. You got good portions. The variety was good.

Always delicious, so I was pleased o could get it delivered now.

Thought I’d try a different restaurant, big mistake. Not authentic and very watery, even the naan didn’t taste nice, such a shame.

Garlic and chilli dish was tasteless!!

Quality food at a quality price!

Pick up orders always late always blame the customer for being to early better options available in the area

I ordered 7 pots of mint sauce costing £7 but only two arrived in the order.

Lovely food and delivered well early

It was a Saturday night walk in without a booking. My wife and I were lucky to get a table and were seated quickly. The the service and food were very good. Would recommend.

I really enjoy all the food tasted amazing

First time we’ve used this takeaway and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of the food would defiantly recommend

We ordered two korma dishes and they were not that on tasting they didn't taste like a korma at all, so my children wouldn't eat it. The plain nan bread was the smallest I have even since in ally life. Don't think we will be ordering from here again.

The order arrived early, and the food was delicious from first to last! Thank you!

Sadly my chicken was quite dry this time. Hopefully it's a one off experience.

Ordered through ‘just eat’ delivery time was almost 2 hours … so called restaurant to cancel . Had phone put down on me twice, and had 3 calls rejected once I’d asked for a refund. Will never use them again . Their attitude stinks!

The chicken dansak I had from here tonight was the best I have had in years. I would recommend them
