India Gate in Chichester

Saturday evening at our favourite. Can life get any better than this. Wonderful food, top quality wine, friendly service. An excellent evening out.

Nice little restaurant. Delicious food The lamb madras is excellent.

Undoubtedly the best Indian cuisine in Chichester. My wife and I have eaten their several times and have always been delighted by the quality of food. Charming staff and they also supply an excellent takeaway service. If you're a curry freak give it a whirl you won't be disappointed.

Ordered large meal for special family meal. Time between 7pm to 715pm. 7.30 called and they hadn't even cooked it. Shambles. Poor service and will go to another takeaway now. Been loyal customer for years. Crap customer service.

Award winning Indian restaurant with excellent service.wide ranging menu .

First time visiting. There is a set menu on Wednesdays for approx £21. You choose a starter, main, side, rice and naan. The food was very, very good and the venue was busy. I had a table booked for 2015 but had to wait 15 minutes for it to be free. Great atmosphere. Would visit again. The only minor downside is a relatively expensive pint of Cobra (£6.50)

Time and time again India Gate serves excellent tasty food with the best , friendly service. Thali night tonight was no exception. Its no wonder we have have been coming here, regulary, since opening night all those years ago.

Although there are very few restaurants in Chichester at night, this Indian restaurant was crowded. Although the store was popular, it wasn't noisy, and the staff were very gentlemanly and friendly, which made me happy. The Indian curry was of high quality and delicious compared to other restaurants. I was also impressed by the fact that they provided me with chocolate to refresh my palate after the meal.

Fabulous curry, great service, friendly and welcoming staff. All in all a five star experience.

We were down for the goodwood festival of speed its 10 minutes away max, 5.* food rating one of the best Indians i have ever tasted the meat was so tender it was mind blowing! You wont be disappointed.

Sat in tonight and had a delicious meal- everything was super hot (heat), fresh and tasty. The sag aloo was so nice (definitely recommend). The service was absolutely incredible and the waiters were so so friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back when we are in Chichester. Thank you.

As per the title really... we rolled the dice amongst the four or more Indian restaurants in this location and got double six. Very happy with the quality of the food, prompt and polite service and acceptable pricing (would just nit pick about paying for the pickles?). Keema Nan (plural) happily hoovered up as the highlight. Very satisfied, would certainly return.

Honestly such amazing food and lovely staff! Never had such a beautifully cooked curry. Will 1000% be returning when in Chichester.

I've been twice and I must say I wasn't dissapointed. Service was prompt and friendly, both my brother and I enjoyed our food. And also very reasonable price. Good food, good price can't complain. This is My new go to Indian in chi for dine in. Thank you India Gate.

Excellent food and service They do set meals throughout the week for set prices, so if you love curry and side orders that the place. Big car park out back. Free after 8pm. Will take card or cash,but really only wants cards.

My wife and I had an excellent meal which we both gave 10 out of 10. The Indiagate staff were helpful and polite and the food was fantastic with generous portions. Comfortable seating, clean white table-cloth. We must plan our return.

We went here on a Sunday evening which was handy because they do a Sunday Special (not advertised) of any starter, main and rice/naan for £14.95. Given that the curry I had was £12 on it's own this is obviously a great deal. And the food was excellent. Service was also very good, possibly a little over attentive. They finished by offering us a final drink on the house, we had Baileys and brandy, and it wasn't watered down!

Food was ok though I've had Tikka Masala that's hotter than their Jalfrezi so was a little disappointed. Service was average - on two occasions we were asked if we were finished with plates that still had food on when it was obvious we were still eating. Atmosphere was non existent - we were sat at the front of the restaurant which is quite small so feel like you are crammed in a bit close to others.

Very good experience. Food was excellent (chicken naga) and attentive service. Was a bit early in the evening. I was first person there but 2 other couples soon appeared. Can't fault it.

Always excellent food. Use alot for takeaways and sometimes collection. Always happy atmosphere with great service .

Absolutely amazing in every way, best Indian ever, food excellent lovely clean place excellent service manager brilliant making sure all is ok highly recommend definitely going back when in the area

Another fantastic Thali meal here on a Tuesday at Chichesters best restaurant. Weve beem coming since Day one , normally at least once a month. For over twenty years India Gate has been serving the best Indian food in the area. Always great service, fantastic wines and very clean. Highly recommended.

My wife and I have been here several times and this is undoubtedly the best Indian restaurant for quality of food in the area. We have never had a bad dish here and the restaurant owner has always been very attentive to our needs. I would highly recommend this restaurant to others.

We got a curry takeaway with friends after deciding to go with this curry house. I have to say it's the worst onion bahjis I've ever eaten! It was chewy and greasy! Plus, it had absolutely no flavour! But the weirdest texture ever. They are supposed to be crispy and oniony. The first award winning curry on the menu I really enjoyed. However, my husband wasn't that impressed. The naan bread was tasty and had suffered a little from being in the bag for a bit. It seemed like we could have been at the end of the deliveries in the area. Overall, it was a little disappointing. Slightly saved by the flavour of my curry, but my husbands choice of Garlic Chilli was quite bland! I think you need to add a bit more chilli and spice

Outstanding menu , plenty of choices food absolutely beautiful 100% recommend. Host very friendly and welcomng. Will be back again 👌

Superb skill in balancing the spices, herbs and ingredients. Food was produced promptly, the service was excellent, accommodating and the advice and guidance was all that was needed. The establishment is well-recommended.

Brilliant service. We always book a massive group late in the evening and they are always accommodating. Brilliant food to boot.

Incredible service, so attentive to our very large party! Highly recommend, the cheesy garlic naan was incredible too

Our favourite curry in Chichester. We like to order lots of dishes to share and try they all have great flavour. Our take out tonight was so good particularly the Pathia!!

Been coming here for the last 15 years and service and food has always been top class even when they are busy. Top man running the restaurant and his team always looks after us. Been here with friends , family and mrs and we always come back bringing new people.

Me and Mrs visited here while moving to the area recently. We have been looking for a good Indian to go to weekly and have tried the other restaurants in the area. None of the others have wowed us but India Gate after our second visit I must say is the best in the area. Thank you India Gate for helping us find our weekly Indian go to. Will see you soon. Karen & Andy

We make it a point to come here when visiting from the states. The food and staff are excellent. Even on a very busy night they had no issues with getting us seated and served. We've tried something different every time we've been and it's always good. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

This was a lovely welcoming restaurant. The staff were so helpful in helping our grandad pick his spice and getting drinks nothing was too much trouble. Food and service was perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed this will be back again.

Had takeaway. The red curry in photo is bland, mostly onion. The 'award winning' Hariyali was very sweet and tasted like mango chutney mixed with tomato ketchup. Nan and sheek kebab ok. Won't be going back. As for the service expect this shocking Indian food to be very politely served to you, and they will happily take your money.

2 stars for the free poppadoms and a decent sheek kebab but good grief, the chicken Hariyali was utterly inedible 🤮 it was like tomato soup mixed with mango chutney - apparently it's won awards - I'm sorry, but no connoisseur of curry could taste that and do anything other than put it straight in the bin - which is exactly what I did.

A group of 12 of us went here for my stag do. Ive been coming here with my family since I was very young around 20 years ago. The food and service never changes. So I decided I had to do my stag here as I have been loyal to them for many years and they have looked after me and my family. My friends were from Chichester and some were from up north. All of our food was amazing and even the northerners were very impressed as it's hard to get something they like with the choices they got up there. Owner always top class and gave us shots at the end to round the night off. Will be back again with the family. Make sure you book as it's very popular.

Visited India Gate before going to the theatre as last time we visited here before Christmas it was amazing. We come from Petersfield to visit the theatre and when we do we always visit this amazing restaurant. We have tried other Indian restaurants in the area but India Gate tops them all. The menu is very extensive and have tried different dishes each time and all of them have been full of flavour and nicely presented. Not surprised by all the awards they have won. WELL DONE INDIA GATE!!!!

We were staying at the camp site and the host recommended us India Gate. Glad we took the recommendation we booked a table. As it was last minute we turned up the restaurant was heaving with people. We had to wait 15 minutes before we got a table but we can see why. Very Very busy on a Thursday night. The food was out of this world and we have been to a fair few Indians. This 100000% tops it. The service was very good even when the place was busy. I'm guessing it's the owner that came and had a chat with us very lovely person talking through how the restaurant started. What's a good sign is that there seem to be a large amount of regulars as the owner was going round talking to the tables. (Which you don't get these days. Overall amazing food and top service. We will be back in the summer

First time we had been there for over a year, but still very nice food and not to expensive, after meal the gentleman came across and asked if we would like a drink on the house which was most appreciated 😀 Go and taste the menu, you won't be disappointed. 5 Stars from us all.

Our family of 4 turned up in Chichester with nowhere booked on a Fri evening and stumbled on this place from a Google search- and booked it last minute. What a find. We received a warm welcome, really great service and delicious food. I tried one of their award-winning dishes and was very pleased I did. Really tasty. Honestly the staff couldn’t have been nicer. If I lived in Chichester this would be a firm local favourite. Recommend!

Yet another fantastic meal here last night. The food just oozes flavour ! Tan and his his team really have something special here. Chichesters best restaurant without a question of doubt.

Came here on a Friday night as we were walking past looking for a restaurant to eat. The place absolutely heaving with customers so we thought it would be impossible to get a table. The manager came to us and said it would be about 20 minutes for a table so we decided to go pub and come back. Me and my friends are glad we chose this place as the food is absolutely top class. Service was amazing even when the place is packed. If you’re ever in the area try this place. It’s very very popular so do book a table.

This restaurant is absolutely incredible! The food comes out so fast but so fresh and lots of vegetarian options! The staff are amazing and couldn’t do anymore for you. Nothing bad to say about this place, you’re missing out if you don’t come!

So disappointing! We chose this place for its good reviews but the food wasn’t at all good. We ordered two ‘medium heat’ dishes but neither had even the slightest hint of heat or any spice. Both were swimming in oil. Overcooked vegetables and really nothing better than the most basic of cooks could produce at home.

12 of us gents dined here after a conference in Chichester. We all ordered a mixture of dishes and I must say every dish was full of flavour and different tastes. The service was really good even when the restaurant was full of customers. A very good sign for a very cold Tuesday night. We all be back to India Gate when we are back in the area again next month.

Been coming to India Gate since moving to the area from Guilford 5 months ago. Me and my wife have tried all the other restaurants in the area, please dont waste your money and book a table at india gate. The owner is honestly the kindest and generous person you will meet, always looks after you and remembers all his diners like they been coming for years. The food is out of this world and the service backs this to make it for sure an award winning eatery. Try the chicken rajnaga if you like hot curries, unreal flavours!

Took advantage of their Monday night offer and had a really great meal. The lamb dish was very tender and I can see why it has won awards. Lighter and more fragrant than your average Indian restaurant. Lots of garlic in the chicken dish with enough fresh chilli to hit the spot. Great service and the offer of a complimentary nightcap was unexpected given the relatively low cost of our dinner.

We went for dinner at India Gate on a Sunday evening. The restaurant is cosy and intimate and the staff were very attentive. The food was really lovely with the biggest, lightest onion bhaji I've ever had, I loved it. The staff are pappy to provide packaging for left overs so I'm looking forward to having one more precious bhaji with my leftover lunch. Our friends are long time visitors to this restaurant and we can tell why. It's likely to become a favourite of ours too.

Rude rude rude - table booked 3 weeks in advance taxi from Pagham to Chichester arrived 5 mins early - no table for us queue at the door spoke to waiter who ignored me went in to speak to someone told to wait outside - went back in 15 mins later told table will be about an hour asked if they had my booking which I showed them on my phone they just walked away - taxi called to take us home £40 out of pocket and no meal WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVERY HAD WARNING IF YOU BOOK A TABLE THEY WILL JUST FILL UP THE RESTAURANT THEY DO NOT RESERVE JUST GO ELSEWHERE THIS LOT NEED TO LEARN HOW TO TREAT CUSTOMERS

Good food, super spicy naga special curry, the lightest tastiest garlic naan ever, lonely staff, not the fanciest looking place but it's All about the food. Fantastic. Thanks guys.

Lovely people and fantastic food.

Lovely starters & curry. The best I’ve had since moving to Chichester earlier this year from near Bradford, where the standard and range of curries is great. Good service too last night. Will be back

Delicous and a free drink at the end was offered!! Unfortunately, a large loud party ruined our evening!

Came here last night with the aikido club I train with. We were a big group (8 of us) but we had booked in advance and only had to wait a short time whilst the previous diners were finishing up etc. It’s quite a tight squeeze in the restaurant but still enough room on the table for all the food we ordered haha! Very polite and friendly service, and a varied menu with clear options regarding allergens etc. They were accommodating with my request for my meat dish (Chom Chom) to have dairy free cream instead. (They do have a whole page vegan options but I just needed dairy-free not meat-free). When preparing this, they came over to double check if I was ok with nuts too which was very considerate of them. My vegan friend was also pleased when they said it was absolutely fine for them to make one of the vegan side dishes (Aloo Gobi) as a main meal portion instead. The food itself was amazing, very fresh and fragrant. The rice portions are quite large - you could probably share one between two (though I did manage to finish 3/4 of mine!). All very reasonably priced too for the high standard and quality dishes, plus a bonus that they take the Blue Light Discount card too. Would definitely visit again to try out more dishes!

I had arranged a night out with friends and ex-colleagues. Food was really good, as was service. The only downsides were slightly cramped table (one of the party had to sit at one end which was a bit tight) and being close to the door, we were exposed to drafts when the door was opened (which it was on numerous occasions - particularly when there was a queue of customers propping it open). Other than that, it was very good and I would visit again but would ask for a table away from the door.

Visited the restaurant for the first time on 12/12/23. The service was first class and the staff were attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely superb and was authentic well presented and tasted amazing

Everyone was great, food and service bang on, the hosts were brilliant. Much better than Masala City

Absolutely shocking take a booing for 7 people for 8pm tonight but when we turn up no table as apparently people booked 3 months before us. If you can't accommodate don't take bookings!!

Absolutely shocking take a booking for 7 today at 8pm today but then be told table not available because people booked 3 months in advance.......DON'T GO THERE

Lovely friendly quiet romantic 😍 place. Food amazing. Price little high but we worth it

Amazing food choice and quality. Presented beautifully and service was fast and efficient. Great evening and highly recommend.

Great food, amazing service. The staff are so friendly. Highly recommended. A little gem. Worth a trip to Chichester. 😍

What a great experience, fantastic food, great polite staff, particularly the personal service from Tan, can't recommend the best Indian restaurant in Chichester enough, going back soon 😁😁 Paul and Jeanette

An absolutely beautiful meal, the service was outstanding, very attentive. Very deceiving restaurant actually bigger then you think beautifully decorated. The staff were very friendly, will definitely visit again. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Absolutely wonderful evening. Food was fabulous and all the staff were very efficient and professional. We will definitely be visiting again soon. 😊

I began coming to India Gate during my 2nd Semester at Uni and treat myself to a visit every weekend. The best curry I've ever had and very friendly staff who always care about me and my family (who I bring when they visit me). Also quick service.

A stunning meal yet again. Full of tantalising flavouring. Really friendly service and excellent pricing. Our number one restaurant in Chichester.

Everything absolutely perfect, lovely clean restaurant polite well mannered staff treated us so well, food perfect, best Indian food we have ever tasted. You’ve been to the rest now try the best, we loved it that much went back 3 evenings on the run. Food cooked perfectly and nice and hot lots of flavour. When in the area again definitely going back.

Great food, attentive friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Chichester’s best Indian restaurant by far .

We had a truly excellent meal here. The whole dining experience was great from the moment we entered the deceptively spacious restaurant. We were greeted by friendly staff who were attentive throughout the evening. They were very accommodating and made meat curries without meat and with paneer instead. The food itself was well presented, plentiful and absolutely delicious. They was a good vegetarian choice too. There were old favourites and some restaurant specialties. We were given a complimentary baileys at the end of our meal. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.

Great curry had last night with my missus, we usually order takeaway from a place in Bognor as we have to have it spicy enough and the other options in Chichester simply won’t do it right.. everything we ordered was delicious. We were sat next to a rathe boisterous table of about 20 middle aged chaps, but this didn’t spoil our evening. Service was great, and offered a free digestif at the end too which is rare nowadays. I would reccomend ordering chopped green chillies on the side if you need it spicy though (anywhere)

My partner and I have been getting takeaways here for the past 3 years and have eaten in a handful of times, we wouldn’t go anywhere else, the food and the service is amazing every time. Our names are remembered and so is our regular order, we always get a complimentary drink when we come to pick up and if we eat in.

Found this to be a really good curry house. Had my usual Jalfrezi and other half had veg Dhansak. Both were really good and the naan was like a proper Indian naan, not a huge great big thing so many others do. Fully recommend. We also had excellent service and a very informative waiter.

First time visit First class service First class food First class portion size Fantastic overall, several deals available throughout the week which makes it value for money We'll be back

I've visited twice with a friend and both times we've had great service and food. I absolutely love the curries on the award winning menu, the waiter reccomended what to have with them each time and he was spot on. Friendly service and food that's...

Very pleasant meal and overall experience for our evening in Chichester. Excellent food and service, would go again

Delicious, as always. We order from India Gate as a ‘go to’ as they never let us down. Food is exceptional, they always throw in a salad and popadoms, and the portions are very generous

Best Indian food in Chichester! We love our weekly deliveries from India Gate and we recently visited the restaurant with our family, which took our love for the food to a whole new level. You simply cannot beat it; fresh out of the kitchen, perfectly cooked, moist meat and full of flavour. It was divine! The Cobra beer on draught was also perfectly chilled and gassed; best pint of Cobra I’ve ever had! All the staff are lovely and very hospitable. I recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.

Where can i start with this! What a wonderful experience i had with my wife and 2 children this evening. The staff were absolutely amazing, the team were very chikd friendly and gave them ice creams. The food was exceptional. The chicken kalia was worthy...

Brilliant, best curry I've had in a long time. Staff were amazing

Brilliant service. They accommodated us late after a show and got all the food out quickly. Lovely people and lovely food.

This is by far the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. We eat here and get takeaway often and the food is always excellent and the staff couldn’t be more helpful

Time and time again its fantastic. Beautifully cooked food, sensational service, excellent pricing , very clean restaurant. Highly, highly recommended.

This is an excellent curry house. Situated just outside of the city centre. Staff were friendly and accommodating. I had a lamb rogan Josh with egg fried rice, which was cooked to protection. I Highly recommended Reasonably priced, not to expensive.

Great food and wonderful service. Recommended it wholeheartedly

My wife and I ordered a take away from India Gate, we go there quite a few times a year, but tonight's take away was OMG absolutely fantastic, many thanks to Tan and the crew, see you soon Gary and Nikki Ennor.

Food was really good tasted so fresh,friendly staff definitely would go back
