Lovely tasty food and friendly service. I was collecting takeaway but the restaurant looked full, which is a good sign.

Ok, but not brilliant. Restaurant was full on a Thursday evening, which is a good sign, but the meal wasn’t the best. Positives: poppodums and chutneys were plentiful and really good. Rest: onion bhajis came out within 3 minutes of ordering. Strange flat bhajis, which were only just fine in taste. Main courses were chicken tikka karai and chicken tikka green masala. The karai tasted as if the spices were burned - not very appetising. The green masala promised a sauce including mixed vegetables and mint. It contained plenty of peas but not much more than that. As for the mint, it tasted like they’d added mint sauce rather than fresh mint. Really weird and not great. Garlic naan was dry, crispy and didn’t look fresh with garlic granules burned into it, rather than garlic butter. I’m glad it’s popular and the locals like it, but it’s not for us

We have been using the India gate for at least 25 years and after the attitude of the staff on Friday the 19th July it will be the last, my complaint about chicken kurma was met with total indifference and a couldn’t care attitude so that’s it

I ordered a Pasanda which is normally mild but on this occasion it had a 'kick of hot spices' at the back of the throat. They changed it twice for me because it was still to hot for me, l ended up having a Korma curry instead, which was delicious. They were very patient with me and l'm very grateful to them. It's a lovely restaurant. I will go back

Myself and my friend went for a meal tonight, first time eating here. There was only one other couple there and us, waiter wasn’t happy that we hadn’t booked but said they could fit us in, it was 5pm. Within 5 mins of sitting down our orders were taken, and when I finished my meal and my friend was still eating hers, they came and asked if I’d finished and I had they took my plate away and I ordered another drink, she then finished hers, they asked if we wanted coffee/dessert we said no and next thing they brought the bill without us asking and we hadn’t finished our drinks., that was at 6.15, felt rushed out. Not good service at all.

Awful ! Where do I start ! Menu was dirty and sticky , only 2 options of rice , the waiter was very rude and passive agressive, we were asked for our order soon as we sat down before even looking at the menu , food was terrible , cheap oven chips , frozen chicken in the curries , the nan bread was not cooked fresh , we order a garlic nan , couldn't taste any garlic it was cold and like cardboard , but what finished me off was when they cleared our table the waiters were walking around with a trolly with a bucket of soapy water to put the dirty cutlery in like in a school canteen , not a nice restaurant vibe , wish we had gone to mowglies, we went to a pizza restaurant after !

I have eaten here several times. The staff are friendly and efficient . Food arrives in good time and is a reasonable price. The menu is traditional for this type of restaurant, It does not try to over "Europeanise" normal dishes. Four chutneys are provided with free pupadums . Indian music is played in the background. A solid reliable straightforward restaurant.

Booked a table for 7pm last night. Arrived on time - 20 minutes later still left standing and still being ignored by all staff. Had already approached 2 waitresses during that time who both told us to wait a moment while they cleared a table, both of them then continued with other duties and continued to walk past us on several occasions. Other customers were being treated in the same manner. A large party who arrived before us (and had booked) were also left standing at the bar and none of them were served a drink or being seated. After 20 mins of being ignored we left and went next door to Moglies and had a fabulous meal in a much nicer environment and very friendly place. India Gate Also looked grubby and tired and in need of renovation. It’s several years since my friends and I have been there as we usually go to Moglies. Big mistake on our part to try India Gate for a change. We definitely won’t be back there ever again!!!

Starter and main was of a good standard I ordered a garlic naan and when it arrived it was just a plain naan and it obviously wasn't cooked freshly on the premises. It was like the ones you buy in the supermarket and throw in the oven. I did receive a replacement naan which was again a plain naan with shavings of garlic on it. Paul Hollywood would close you down!!!!! If you like a decent naan with your meal go next door to Mowgli's

I visited with 3 friends after a long day in our motorbikes, calling late to make a booking. The restaurant was busy but they found room, and looked after us well. The staff were polite and the food was reasonable quality - served quite quickly and we all enjoyed our meals. Overall price was under £20 per head including 6 drinks (in total), which we though was great value for what we had. If in the area again, I would definitely eat here again.

The service was also extremely good and very friendly, with the waiter helping to explain any questions we had . The drinks selection is very good also and fairly priced , I spoke to a local on the way out and he said it’s the best Indian restaurant around and I don’t doubt him ! I hope to come back again very soon.

I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for over 15years so it is with a heavy heart I write these words. For the second time in a couple of months had to wait over an hour longer than promised for take away. Food was cold and one of the dishes was of poor quality. With so much competition you would think that they would raise their game. They are clearly taking on orders when they cannot cope. They should be honest about waiting times. Enough is enough I shall not be going back.

Not normally one to complain and also usually love this place, but nothing on my order were up to standards. most of it ended up in the bin. one curry tipped in bottom of bag, the other mostly oil, naans very dry and over cooked, chips seem like from yesterday. such a shame at the drop in standards since the last time we ordered, wouldn't of minded the food being late.. but really it just wasn't worth it. disappointed is an understatement.

Excellent meal and service again at Juboraj. Lovely local Indian restaurant that always delivers good food and service. Tonight was extremely busy due to a large party event also being held there, and while some of the courses were (as a result) a little slower than usual this did not cause any disruption in service at all. Food was lovely and well cooked as usual, clearly freshly prepared and put on the table as quickly as possible. All front of house staff very friendly and sociable as usual, and extremely attentive. Da iawn!
