The Gate of India in West Lindsey

We ordered a takeaway for collection. Although the staff were great and very helpful when I enquired where to park when I collected due to double yellow lines, unfortunately the food itself was a bit of a let down. We had 2 chicken dishes, although it looked good the taste was bland so we were a bit disappointed.

Chicken Tikka Massala was very sweet, and was quite bland, rice was a bit meh aswell wasn't nice and it was dry. Garlic Naan wasn't garlicky and rather dry. Lamb Tikka Phall was absolutely beautiful however.

Visited here with friends while staying locally. A lovely restaurant, with friendly, cheerful staff. Food was excellent with different curries than you normally get and was very tasty with decent portions and lots of meat. Reasonable prices too!

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, good food. Thanks! -Though the butter chicken and tikka masala were a much sweeter recipe than other places...

Excellent! The service was great, helpful and attentive. The food was yummy, prepared with our dietary needs put in place. So glad we went!

First rate food with good service, try the fish massala excellent, as was the special Karahi, Nan drinks and starter for a good price

Lovely staff excellent decor and fantastic food Best Indian restaurant I have ever visited 😋 I had maharaja chicken with peas and garlic rice Good sized portions

Always feel welcome here and staff are lovely. It's clean and comfortable, but a bit dated, like having an Indian at your grandma's, but that kind of adds to its charm. Food comes quickly and everyone has always enjoyed it. I had Nawabi Special Duck which is thick and creamy and very mild, but could do with a little more flavour (although maybe perfect for kids?). Also if you get poppadoms and pickle tray you don't get the minty one unless you ask. Everywhere is different though, so it's not a bad thing. Would definitely go back and try something else.

Just ordered and picked up a takeaway. Popadoms burnt and the chicken madras sauce left a pool of water on my plate. The other curries ordered were very ordinary. Very disappointing.

Always amazing food there, extremely friendly staff. Nice decor..

The restaurant itself is fine, the food is fine. Not spectacular but nice enough. However, they overcharged us by about £20. Me and my partner went for a meal and our food totalled £49, plus two cokes and a lemonade, and we were given a bill for £68? The bill was all handwritten, which I didn’t like. It wasn’t typed out as though put through a till, and I couldn’t read the writing that well. We thought the bill was steep but it was only when I got home and checked the prices on the menu again that I realised how much we were overcharged, will not eat here again.

Greasy, bland food. Chicken was plasticky, lamb fatty. Ordered extra sauces which weren’t received. Overall nasty 🤮

Uaually a go to for an Indian take away but last night meal has left us very dissapointed we ordered Pasanda which was bland and underwhelming. Pilau rice which was just plain boiled rice no seasoning. And poppadoms that were all broken. Not sure what went wrong as usually the food is amazing.

Had a takeaway tonight, 3 dishes. So disappointed very bland all 3 no taste in all 3.

Great service, very quiet atmosphere and clean place. The food was delicious and we got served very quickly. Reasonable prices and lovely coffee and chocolates ☺️☺️

We came in the first of January and my daughter said her birthday is in 7 days so the waiter gave my daughter a birthday card. The waiters are very nice! And funny. Also the food was delicious!

Tasteless,bland,dry chicken ,nan was like microwaved,made better curries at home from a jar,very disappointing

Fantastic food. Friendly service.

Went last night for a meal with my husband for his birthday. The staff were so attentive and funny (especially Mia) and the food was fantastic. So tasty and quickly brought out. Nothing too much trouble for them and they made the night special for my husband. I recommend the chicken Karahi 👌👌👌👌

Heard the place was back to its old form! I heard right! Class food, friendly service with a touch of banter! Food was spot on, served fast and mega (just like the gate of old)! Nann bread phenomenal! I’ll be back!

Amazing food, amazing waiter/owner his humour made the night. He should be on the TV

Got our first take out from The Gate Of India tonight and the food was lovely! We’ve moved up this way from London and so glad to find such good quality Indian food! Thank you!

Lovely food, ordered a takeaway. Wasn’t sure what to expect as we’re from Leicester and are used to excellent curries. We were all very pleasantly surprised and very much enjoyed it. All four of us agreed one of the best curries we’ve had!

My two sons and I use this place about every 3 weeks as I work away, the guys make us feel so welcome and often advise us of what to order which may not be on the normal menu. Its a fantastic place and the food/ service is always 100% Cant wait to get back home again and spend another night there. Thanks to all the staff. See you soon. Chris, Jak and Harry

Great restaurant. A great meal. The staff were very friendly. The occasion was ticking my 85 year old mum’s bucket list - never eaten in an Indian restaurant before……she is looking forward to going back. Many thanks

Great meal here! Both our meals delicious we always try a new dish and each time Leave satisfied! Well worth a try! 10/10!

Went with friends on a walk in meal made welcome Food was very tasty not to expensive would go back

Cracking little spot. Food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

My wife and I visited the gate of India on Bank Holiday Monday. What an absolutely lovely restaurant. The staff couldn't be more accommodating down to the smallest detail. And the food was excellent. Absolutely 10 out of 10 if we could have scored 20 out of 10 . We would have. The next time we are in the vicinity we will be going again 🙏.

Excellent food and lots of it. Friendly staff and all needs were accommodated.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would.. it was our first time visiting The Gate of India and we will 100% be back. The hospitality, food and atmosphere were all absolutely incredible. Our family all agreed that it was the best curry we had ever had. Would highly recommend coming to this restaurant! 10/10

Always go here for an Indian, food is amazing. Great portion sizes and the customer service is excellent. It's a great place for eat in or takeaway.

We was a family Party of 17 last minute booking on Sunday evening as everywhere closed, they made room for us at very short notice and it wasn't empty, all food arrived together and staff was always on hand, The food and atmosphere was great, very happy throughout only drawback was no parking and the food whilst enjoyable , most dishes seemed slightly over sweetened but the younger ones in group had no complaints, but I would advise to try the slightly spicier dishes as the mild dishes are a little sweet, all in all very satisfied and recommend.

Friendly, polite and welcoming staff, food was tasty and generous portions,reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend if you're ever in Market Rasen.

Great value tasty meal, the staff were very friendly

Nice ambience, lovely people, great food. Love it!

used to go when visiting but now u do not get anything for your money it is all sauce and hardly any meat !! sorry wont go back ?

As always absolutely gorgeous food ..lovely smart clean restaurant..the most amazing staff .. can never fault this place thank you guys

Great food, friendly staff, clean, nice atmosphere

Always great service & good food

Well, a takeaway consisting of 4 meals, costing £62 was abysmal. Meat ammounts in all 4 dishes were very small . This is my second takeaway in 4 weeks, first one was very much the same as the first , poor portions . Really need to up your game Gate of India or you'll end up with zero customers

Excellent food and friendly staff.

The food was fantastic, never tasted onion bargis so nice. The staff are all so friendly

Food was cold and fairly tasteless. Not as ordered despite them confirming it was. More expensive than up to date menu had stated. Small quantities and seemed like some was leftovers from yesterday. Am new to area and looking for a new and GOOD Indian restaurant. It certainly is NOT this one !

Lovely food, great service and nice atmosphere. Couldn't have asked for better.

Absolutely gorgeous food, perfect size portions, friendly service

Great staff and food was excellent!

Just a great place to eat good food with present staff

Absolutely fabulous food top notch a jewel in the crown of market rasen

I've had a meal for all the family last night, 4 adults and a 17 month old boy. The staff were amazing, polite, humorous, attentive [ but not overbearing] and courteous. The Restuarant was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented. The food was the best Indian meal I've ever had, plentiful tasty and beautifully presented. I cannot recommend then highly enough. If you are in the area don't hesitate to book either eat in or takeaway. You will not be disappointed.

Went last night for a friend's birthday, super service, really friendly, funny waiters, nothing was too much trouble even someone like me that's fussy and awkward, they catered to my needs and the food, ambience, service etc was fabulous. Highly recommend 👌

Booked a table for ten, been here a few times before and it’s been pretty good.! On this occasion it was pretty poor, dishes were bland and no flavour at all, one dish went back as it was tepid at best. The kheema naan was beyond edible. Won’t be going back

Arrived with the family on Saturday and have to say service and food was both so great. Definitely recommend but do book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Sadly, one of the rudest people I’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting….. Friday evening visit, arrived at 8pm… Food was very good, no problem at all, the chefs had done a great job, it was prepared very quickly… Waiters were great, most helpful & polite, no problem with any of those… Sadly…. Owners son was probably one of the rudest people I’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting… made it very clear they wanted to close early at 9pm. The bill came to £81 for the 3 of us and I was getting a tip ready to leave a nice deserved tip when he came back over and we was very rudely told that he would be calling the Police unless we left, totally ruined our meal, the staff were clearly embarrassed at his attitude after they’d been so good. We were told later his attitude was a downside to the restaurant. I attach a picture to my review, sincerely hope his family decide it’s wrong of him to give a bad name to their restaurant.

Very polite and attentive staff. Good choice of food. If you have been to India, which we have, this is what we call "English Indian", not completely authentic, but good enough. We always enjoy going there and particularly like it that we are served with a chocolate when we have a final coffee before leaving.

Been eating here 15 years . Treated out by parents and v disappointed . Cold tandoori. Very dry shashlik. Old Naan. Abrupt verging on rude . Used to be best Indian around no longer .

Just wonderful food thank you ☺️

This is our go to local Indian as the quality of always of a high standard, whether it is eat in or takeaway. Always a popular choice, we never mind waiting for the freshly cooked food. A nice change where all the dishes don’t look and taste the same! Some great specials and very reasonably priced.

We are on holiday and popped in for our anniversary meal. Excellent service and advice on dishes to try. I am a coeliac and vegetarian and everything was clearly marked with lots of choice. A fantastic find and definitely worth a visit.

Good food, pleasant service. Surprised at the bill thought for sure under 25 but almost 30, seems £8.15 for 2 Poppadum’s and the pickle tray. I challenged and it was left unchanged.

I had the loveliest time here - the food was incredible as was the service! I can’t wait to come back - thanks again!!

Good food in a pleasant setting with helpful staff.

The food was amazing! The staff were so friendly and welcoming! We had a great time and will definitely return, thank you so much! 😊

Excellent service, very good food but seriously closing at 9pm is a joke even for Market Rasen. This place has splashed out some decent money on decor and personalised fittings. Surely the owners can come up with a decent promotional campaign to get this place buzzing much later into the night at least for the weekends. Not everyone wants takeaways.

I must emphasis this was not a restaurant visit, but a takeaway meal. We were regular customers of The Gate of India. After the endless lockdown and pointless restrictions I'm afraid takeaway meals were shelved in favour of home cooking. We decided a takeaway Indian meal would be a treat. The meal was not cheap, indeed poppadoms at 90p each are extravagant. The meal came swimming in sauce, in fact more sauce than chicken and the prawn dish was equally drowned. The pilau rice was just good old boiled rice and the whole meal lacked seasoning. A terrible disappointment and a waste of time and money. I cannot emphasis enough that this is not authentic Indian cooking, its lazy and The Gate of India are sleepwalking towards obscurity.

Absolutely 1st class staff excellent

Very friendly and efficient service. Food was excellent. We arrived without booking and was not disappointed. All dishes were well cooked

The food is always delicious everytime I come here, the service is great and I love visiting here on all occasions. Would highly recommend.

Lovely welcome and some of the best food I've ever eaten.

Excellent service, splendid food and polite friendly staff who go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Can whole heartedly recommend this restaurant. One of my favourite places to eat out.

Hele vriendelijke ontvangst. We werden direct naar onze tafel gebracht en konden direct een drankje bestellen. Na de kaart op...

Fantastic food and fantastic service. Would highly recommend

Food was ok - nothing special. Staff member rude and disinterested. Was missing 3 out of every 4 light bulbs in the light fittings - very odd. Price was reasonable and food prepared quickly - although they clearly wanted to close and I felt rushed...

Great venue, lovely food and the staff and incredibly friendly and helpful. Thank you for another delicious meal!

Its Sunday evening. We stand in the restaurant for 5 minutes before anyone appears (Hence I should have known better) No draught beer, but a tacky sign attached to the Kingfisher beer pump informing it was bottled beer only. Funny that its much more expensive,...

This is one of the better Indian restaurants we've eaten at, would have given it 5 stars but the sevice was a little on the slow side. We had to wait over 45 minutes for our starters, but the rest of the meal went well.

Always fantastic food and great service. A great night out or a brilliant take away - we enjoy both.

Ordered for 5 on Boxing Day, all different dishes, from hot and spicy to creamy and mild. They all tasted the same. Poppadoms tasted of rancid beef fat. Worst was the pakora batter, which wasn't batter at all, but a weird claggy soggy lump of...

Tried a takeaway on New Years Eve and I have to say it’s one of the best curries we’ve had in a longtime. Good sized meals packed with flavour. We will be back Happy New Year

BRILLIANT MARVELOUS FOOD ENJOY MY TAKEAWAY I WILL HAVE ANOTHER ONE

One of the best curries I've had for ages. Really delicious.

Really friendly staff & great food. They went above and beyond to give us a lift home when we were unable to get a taxi home - 5 stars well deserved!

I visited Gate of India on 11th November 2021, my favourite Indian restaurant and yet again I was not disappointed. I always have the same dish, Prawn Dhania with Saag Rice, the coriander on the top was fresh and flavoursome. The service is always good...

What a magnificent restaurant. We stopped by on way home from skegness and were very surprised. Beautifully clean place, food cooked to perfection, excellent prices snd the staff? Well they certainly put a smile on the faces of everyone. Prople…you have to visit th Gate of India. you wont be disappointed. We are definately going again snd we’re from Doncaster

Fabulous food as always! We enjoyed a Friday night takeaway with friends, food was delicious and ready in super quick time. Excellent friendly customer service as always! Highly recommended

Great service. Good food. Would eat here again.

We pre-booked a table for 6, arrived 5 minutes early & were shown straight to our table. The staff were really nice & friendly & shared jokes with us making our visit even better. The food was very good indeed & arrived hot & obviously...

Very nice food and good service.

Absolutely gorgeous food. Amazing flavours and selection. Great prices. Brilliant, friendly customer service.

Brilliant service fantastic food as always

Food is always great never fails! My faveorite place to eat and the restaurants cleanliness is outstanding. Every surface you look at is spotless. Staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Would highly recommend!

Great food ,had a take out and was quick with friendly staff, we had chicken balti and very good , haven't had one in a while and highly recommend

worse indian food I ever tasted - pricey and mushy and the rice was not nice unfortunately. However I did get a free popadom

Been for meals and mostly take outs recently, service has Allways been perfect and friendly. Food is best for value and quality around no doubt. Never had issues with, highly recommend to go to

Dinner was delicious and all looked very fresh. Really enjoyed it. Had the biryani and the portion was very large. Would definitely revisit.

Regardless of how good the food may be. DO NOT place orders online. If they are not available to process the order then they will still take your money straight away and not refund for up to 5 days. Terrible the way they can be...

Ordered takeaway on Saturday night, and the food was excellent. Thank you for a real treat in the midst of lockdown - pretty fed up of non stop home cooking now! Roll on the days when we can actually visit the restaurant and sit down...

Friendly staff, lovely restaurant, great food. Always use for takeaways and look forward to going for a meal in the future.

Had a takeaway meal from the gate of India a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent

Food was not very spicy, a little bland and the rice was a bit undercooked.
