I recently visited Gate of India restaurant with high hopes of enjoying an authentic Indian culinary experience. Unfortunately, my visit left me deeply disappointed, primarily due to the poor quality and insufficient quantity of the food.One of the dishes I ordered was the Chicken Do Pyaza, which is known for its rich flavors and succulent meat. However, I was shocked to find that the chicken seemed as if it had been prepared several days ago. The meat was tough and lacked the freshness one expects from a well-cooked dish. It was disheartening to receive a plate of food that fell so far short of its reputation.To complement my meal, I opted for the Garlic Naan. Sadly, the naan served to me was pre-cooked, lacking the authentic taste and texture of a freshly prepared naan. It felt as though a shortcut had been taken in the kitchen, resulting in a subpar accompaniment to the main dish.Adding to the disappointment was the meager quantity of food served. The portions were noticeably small, leaving me feeling unsatisfied and questioning the value for money. The lack of generous servings further contributed to the overall disappointment of the dining experience.Beyond the culinary aspect, the ambiance of the restaurant failed to create an immersive Indian dining experience. The decor and atmosphere were lackluster, lacking the warmth and authenticity one would expect from an establishment claiming to offer Indian cuisine.While I understand that restaurant experiences can vary, my visit to Gate of India fell significantly short of the expectations set by its name and its purported commitment to authentic Indian flavors. It is crucial for a restaurant to consistently deliver quality food, adequate portions, and an inviting atmosphere, especially when representing a specific cuisine.I sincerely hope that Gate of India takes customer feedback seriously and endeavors to improve their food quality, portion sizes, and overall dining experience. As it stands, based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend Gate of India restaurant to others seeking an authentic Indian culinary journey.

The service is awkward, as the servers seem very timid. They barely spoke above a whisper and didn't smile. She forgot our beer until later on. In terms of food, the chicken was good. I had a lamb dish and it lacked seasoning, but had a ton of heat, it masked any flavour of the dish. The tomatoes in the dish were not ripe, as seen in the photo I got the end of the tomato and its green.

Amazing Indian/Bangladeshi food. They take some time cook it but the food is fresh! We ordered a lamb biryani, the sharer platter and mughlai goshth beef). Omg the mughlai gosht is probably the best beef I've ever tasted. I got it twice. I also got the Mango lassi which they put roohafza in and this makes it taste even better. The owner was serving us and he's super nice. The service was really great. The decor is beautiful as well. Would definitely recommend!

The inside of the restaurant is designed great and reflected India was surprised by the fact it was opened on the 1980's. The food is priced so affordable irrespective of the location. The food tastes average, but for 10$ they are serving special lunch which includes a non veg dish along with rice, snacks and sweet based on the day. which is a fantastic thing for the price.Ordered bhatura for trying but it was not the authentic bhatura which i was expecting though tastes decent. The restaurant is good for giving it a try.

I tried this restaurant without reading any reviews first and am surprised now to see so many negative comments as I logged on to write this. Maybe the quality varies by time of day or which chef or I don't know, but I can say that I really enjoyed my experience. The waitress was kind. The owner even asked us how our food was and made friendly conversation. I got matar paneer and my friend got the tandoori platter. Both of us really enjoyed our food. I also very much appreciated that the atmosphere was quiet enough for good conversation. There was music playing but it was not too loud - so rare these days. The prices are some of the best I've seen in Hamilton! Two of us ate well for $35. And there will be at least one more meal from the leftovers. I would recommend this restaurant.

A Cozy little Indian restaurant. Serving authentic Indian cuisine. From appetizers to desert. Even Indian pale ales and lagers. Lol.. had to say that. Clean, very friendly . Great food! First time for me in an Indian restaurant. Not a serving I didn't like. Spicy and fresh.

I started coming here over 30 years ago. The owner said they have been opened for 35 years so I guess I’ve been coming here since it opened. It’s a staple of Hamilton. They have a traditional tandoor oven and the tandoori chicken and vindaloo is to die for! We didn’t have it today but chose to do a meal combo for two. It was delicious!! I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving real authentic Indian food made in a traditional tandoor oven that we brought her from India.
