Review India Gate Restaurant - Epsom

Excellent fine dine Indian restaurant along with options of Indo-Chinese. Good location, ample parking, spacious and nice decor.

Went here for Mothers Day with the family, 5 adults. This restaurant is upstairs & for my 87yr old mum it was quite an effort. I don't think there is a lift. Good parking on site. Once seated the waitress quickly brought fresh water & glasses and then took our order when we were ready. No notebook used here & she got it all right from memory - amazing. The food was delicious & generously proportioned - we couldn't finish it all & we were hungry. Not over priced either. Well worth eating here.

Hosted my 21st party here a couple of weeks ago and the party hall had an awesome ambiance to it. Food was amazing especially the starters. The service was excellent from management and staff. They were friendly and made sure guests were well looked after. Thank you to India Gate for a memorable night ! Great Venue to host parties. Highly recommended :)

I have relatives at home and were staying over the Christmas vacations. I am lucky to have guests as per our culture. I used to dine out in different restaurants and with different experience. This time on Thursday, I had been for a dinner with 9 people. The dinner was amazing with great attentive service by a nice lady. She was kind and pleasant on every task. Ultimately the Food was great and hot on our table. This is most important in Indian food. I thank to Shivani ji and the lady for serving us with best services and my guests were satisfied.

I recently moved to Bellevue from Jersey and was desperate for good Indian food. Tried 2 restaurants before India Gate and honestly I started missing Jersey. Then we gave this place a try and yes this was indeed good. Excellent service, courteous staff and much better hygiene than other popular names. 4 stars because we only tried vegetarian options that day. I would love to go back and try their non-vegetarian food as well..

First time dining there - such great service from the manager Anurag. The food was amazing. Freshly made lemonade was beautiful and the butter chicken was also amazing. Can't wait to return with friends.

Hosted birthday party for my daughter here last week. The food was amazing as always, the arrangements were done in time. Recommend this place if you want to host mid sized family/friends gathering or functions.

Absolutely love it here. My go-to Indian in Auckland. Have been here weekly (sometimes daily!) for over a year. Has been nothing but wonderful everytime. Very attentive staff, delicious food, and a lovely atmosphere. Great prices too. Special shout out to Gagan for such high quality, personable service every time!

Would like to thank the Staff and Manager for the awesome service we received when we celebrated our daughter's graduation on 6th May 2017. The food was fabulous and service was outstanding. This is the second time we had a celebration there and we don't have any complains regarding food or service. Dessert, Mengo Kulfi Yummy what a great way to finish off the meal was just great. We had a wonderful time and all our guest enjoyed it. A big thank you to you all.

. (01/05/2015) Good place for groups and normally busy / crowded during peak hours and weekends. Never quite. Always liked their food. Despite halving their space, always accommodating and friendly staff. Dedicated parking space is another plus. ...................................... (20/09/2013) good food and likable ambiance although little slow service.

Nice buffet, like the decoration!

Great indian restaurant with a more diverse menu than a lot of other outlets. Good choice of vegetarian options. The venue has quite a lot of character - it's not a fine dining restaurant - but the service is good and friendly, and the food is lovely.

A very nice place. Located conveniently in the city center and has friendly staff. The food was quite nice. The celebrity wall is intriguing. Only loses one star since some of the drinks are a little childishly overpriced (nimboo pani should not cost money, especially not 6.50)

Definitely highly recommend dinning here！ Deeply Impressed with Anurag Malik premium customers service. Masala and chicken lollipops are the best I’ve tried.

Absolutely loved the butter chicken here. Received such great service. Definitely recommend for future diners who are after Indian food!

Always loved Indian cuisine but was greatly disappointed by the food served at Indian Gate. By far the worst we have eaten even though we dined at numerous Indian restaurants and were fans of Indian cuisine - just Look at how black and charred our garlic and butter naan were, really appalled. Our tandoori chicken was also very dry and tough, nothing like what we have tasted before.<br/><br/>To make matters worst, we were greeted by a disgruntled lady staff upon entering. I suppose it was because the restaurant was closing in an hour's time and there were literally no one in the restaurant except for us. She seated us and we could sense her unwillingness and displeasure, negative vibes all around and we were embarrassed because we were with a guest who was visiting from overseas. Overall we will not return because of the quality of food and the poor customer service. Utterly Disappointed.

So far the best Indian food that I have tasted outside india. The staff's here are extremely polite and well behaved. The food is delivered super quick. A must visit restaurant for any Indian travekling to Auckland.

Waitress seated us at a small table at behind the door when other tables were clearly available. Plus point because she gave us a discount on our wine.<br/><br/>Food 4/5 Customer service 3.5/5 ambience 2/5

Had my sons first birthday here. Absolutely loved it. They were so open to us having decorations and music. The food was incredible! The atmosphere was enjoyable. Most importantly the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Definitely a great place to have a birthday or even have lunch or dinner.

Was a sudden plan and was not disappointed. Absolute worth for money. The food we had was so yummy and was satisfied to the core. We ordered paneer burji and Veg kofta. Ordered paneer parata garlic and butter naan. Was soft and fresh and must say this place is lit. Nice ambience and food is tasty and worth paying every penny. Had a great time here and expected to come back soon. Kudos team

Had a work event dinner here. I dont eat much of indian food but I was surprised I enjoyed the food served. I really liked the Paneer Pakoda, Kaju Roll, Chilli Chicken, Paneer Butter and the Mango Kulfi. So I might visit this place again.

Love the weekend buffet here!!! Anu is very helpful. A must try place. The naans are served hot on the table . 4 star as they sometimes are slow in refills.<br/>

Very good taste of paneer curry. Overall food and service is really good. Background music create beautiful environment during dinner. Recommended👍🏻

My friends and I came here after our touch game... Cruising up and down the street struggling to pick a place for dinner we saw the sign "$12 for mains". What an atmosphere! The interior decor is beautiful, our waitress was polite and lovely and food was delicious

8/01/2019<br/><br/>We went to India Gate, as a family dinner. We usually love the hospitality of their service and it always satisfies our needs. We always go to this restaurant (about twice a month) we also have a set menu that we always order. But today we experienced something dramatically different; <br/><br/>1. We received our fish madras and we were not satisfied with the outcome as it felt like we were eating fish fat.<br/><br/>2. We noticed the chicken saagwala was not cooked properly, it tasted like the spinach was just defrosted and we could see the water still coming out of the curry. The texture of the spinach did not have a paste texture (still stringy) it also tasted like it was boiled. <br/><br/>3. The curries that I had ordered kept coming out in twos and the others came late e.g 10mints in between.<br/><br/>4. We did not receive one of our curries 5/6 curries<br/><br/>5. The bindi that we ordered was not fully cooked as the okra and onion were still raw.<br/><br/>The worse part about the night was when we returned the curries the chief yelled at the waitress for trying to satisfy our needs. The waitress was shaken at the chefs behaviour as he was really arrogant we could also see that she was about to cry as she had been humiliated in front of returning customers and experienced a form of bully at work/ a form of verbal abuse. What was also upsetting and disgusting was the chef threatened to hit the waitress and the waitress replied “if you want to hit me, hit me.” Therefore the scenario had a mix of verbal and physical abuse. As a customer we were also shaken because of the inappropriate behaviour that was shown towards the waitress. When in reality the waitress was trying to do her job. Our night went from a happy and joyful evening to a very intense evening with an upsetting vibe.<br/><br/>Thanks<br/>Siti

Our function went really well at India Gate restaurant. All our friends and family enjoyed the food and hospitality. <br/><br/>A special thanks to Anu for overlooking the event and accommodating all our requests. A big kudos to all their staff especially Gagan. Gagan was extremely patient, helpful and provided exemplary service. <br/><br/>We wish India Gate all the best and look forward to hosting our next gathering there! -Kapil & Neha

Went for a birthday dinner. Was abit skeptical because we hardly eat Indian food but India gate definitely impressed! Will love to go again. Downside was that one of the cups we were served had lipstick stain -_- other then that, we definitely loved the food!

We had a celebration with approx 120 people. Service by the staff was excellent, people loved the set up and everyone was well taken care of for our event. This was my 4th function at this place. Location is excellent and Manager was very accomodating

Went there few days back but may that was mistake food was awful and nan bread they give us like left over gather from all the tables. Only the name is big of this place but never going again

Food was brilliant. We had a very large group whom they coped with admirably. Pre-ordered a large number of meals and then had a few late comers join us. Staff were very friendly and professional.

Surprising quantity for $14 of veg Manchurian . Spent $160 on take away. But quantity was less as compared to the price. Paneer butter Masala and malai kofta was better.<br/>But in Lamb Rogan josh curry lamb was very chewy.

We go as a family to India gate for their Sunday buffet as often as we can. There's always a good selection of dishes that are outstanding in flavour and more authentic than most. Since we came for the UK we've never really taken to 'butter chicken' as it often resembles curried tomato sauce but India gate's version is different. The consistency levels are very high week in week out which makes it very good value for money. Can't recommend it highly enough. Josh and Kim

Extremely wonderful service every time I go . Especially thanks to Anu for continuing Providing great customer service. It’s brilliant every time . Anu is more polite & Friendly ever I met . Love it .

Great food and prices on weekdays to go for dinner, awesome customer service specially the girl named Gagan who served us, was polite and did the great job with other guests as well. Overall very nice experience.

Excellent customer service today by Gagan she was very professional.  Food was great. Thank you! Highly recommend this restaurant. Fantastic staff : )

Loved my matar paneer lunch special. The coke zero was served in a glass and was flat.Seemed like it was from a 2 litre bottle which was opened a while ago and lost all the fizz. But food was good.

Extremely disappointed with the food. Have dined here many times and the standards for this restaurant have reduced significantly. Staff are really nice but the food lacked in flavour and definitely had issues in food preparation and hygiene factors as the whole group was not feeling well after eating here. Definitely will not be going back here again.

Visited with my friend on his recommendation, even though I had a different place in mind.. This place has a different test of Indian curry.

Great Service, We live in the Los Angeles, USA and we had our Son's Pre-Wedding function on the 28th April 2017. The Food and service was excellent. The Starters were really excellent and the Main Courses which we had ordered we all excellent in taste and presentation. All the guest who had attended the function we also commenting regarding the food and service which was excellent. <br/><br/>We would like to thank all the Management and Staff of India Gate for such a wonderful cooperation extended to me. <br/><br/>I would definitely recommend India Gate to any one who want to host a party or function or just for nice Indian meal while in Auckland, New Zealand.<br/><br/>Hemant Gohil- Los Angeles, USA

Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed our visit to India Gate. Cheese khobouse(Naan) a must try as it was so delicious that on Kids demand we had to repeat the order also Bhuna Gosh very flavourful and tender so were the Golden prawns served hot and crisp. The larger Dinning area and the lightings gives you a festive feeling. <br/>Thanks to Annu(Manager) and her team for looking after us in fact we took our own sweet time in ordering and reordering starters/ main course which they served us promptly. Would highly recommend this place.

Good Indian food. Variety is awesome. However, professionalism of staff is wanting.<br/>We have been visiting them and what I can make out is as they are becoming more successful, the staff's losing that friendliness.<br/>However, credit's due where it is due: they are in restaurant business and not social networking, and they are damn good as a restaurant.

Have been there at least 50 times.<br/><br/>Great ambience ,yummy food and best service can't ask for more .<br/>Comfortable seating, authentic and attractive decor. Great value for money. Nice location, parking etc.

I love going to this restaurant. Great food, reasonably priced and service with a smile... A big smile! Did I mention the good wholesome food? We come here every week at least and to be honest if your looking for a good spot that makes you feel like it's your own home this is the place. Gaga and the staff are so passionate with a good tension of customer service and food quality you would be hard placed to find anywhere better! You're on a winner here folks 👍...

Visited the restaurant couple days ago. Quick service, friendly staff and the food is great. Their Punjabi Chicken curry is a must try dish along with Paneer Pasanda & Palak Paneer. Their manager Anuradha (Anu) is a great person. She herself made sure that all guests are comfortable. She is always smiling and polite. Overall nice experience. Thumbs up to India Gate !!!

Love this place, the great food and welcoming friendly customer service from their lovely staff called Gaga keep me and my partner keep coming back. She made this restaurant become our regular place for eating out.

It's was great time and excellent food . It was great service.food was delicious and great organisation and your staff is very polite and great communicated with us. <br/>Very thankful of your team. <br/>It's such a great time we spend over there. <br/>Thank you so much for everything.<br/>

Hi  This restaurant gets full marks as Awesome food, excellent service and fabulous staff.<br/>Whether it is lunch or dinner, the food is so tasty and fresh and reasonable too. Please do visit with friends and family. Ask for Anu the manager, she is fabulous and very helpful and so is the staff.

Just want to congratulate and thank Anu & the rest of the India Gate restaurant team for the fantastic service and delicious food we had earlier tonight. India Gate restaurant has always been a wonderful place to have a great meal. Never feel rushed, the food is always great especially the Fish Amritsari, which is a real specialty at India Gate & the whole experience overall is fantastic. Keep it up and all the very best for 2017 & many years to come:).

Friendly helpful wait staff offering good service. The waitress was amazing, knew what she's doing.  Lovely vibe and surroundings but it's the food that you come for. Excellent range on the menu and the food was delicious. will recommend.

Very disappoint with the staff on 28 of December 2016 especially girls they speak with us in Punjabi language especially the girl gagan <br/>And we are disappointed with the onion bhaji my friend is not happy with the on tray stuff <br/>Thank you

Awesome food and friendly staff. Love it each time we come, makes us come again and again. Thanks for making my daughter's 16th an absolutely memorable one.

So it's a Monday, it's lunch time, you're in Epsom and you're hungry. Why not check out India Gate? We've all seen those adverts for Indian restaurants where they have those ridiculously cheap specials. Well India Gate runs those adverts and I decided to head along and really see if it's worth it.<br/><br/>Yes. It definitely is. The lunch special was any main size curry (prawn curries not included) with rice for $10 (normally between $15 and $17) plus a garlic naan for $3.50 how can you go wrong? <br/><br/>Ignore the slightly dated decor. The authentic Indian food definitely makes up for it. So much flavour. The service was friendly and food came out very fast. You could get in and out and back to work with time to spare on your lunch break.

I hosted an event here a couple of weeks ago and I have to admit the team on the day were amazing. The lead up to the event was a bit back and forth due to it being Diwali but Anu the manager at the restaurant kept the communication channels open regardless how busy she was. On the night she and her team made sure the guests were fine at all times but the one thing that I commend is how well they looked after me!. As the lead organiser of the night I was running around making sure everything was running smoothly and Anu and her team went out of their way to get a separate meal for me and brought it to me to make sure that I was going to eat something so that I wouldn't go hungry. Thank you so much yet again for not only looking after me but also our guests.

Excellent Ambiance.  We did have Dahi Bhalla chat while waiting for our take away and it was awesome. We had Palak Paneer for dinner (take away) and it was mind blowing. It had that authentic dhaba flavor which we get only in India. One of the best I must say.

Its always a pleasure to be there. Food is good and staff is friendly. The menu is huge. We have never had any complaints with them. India gate is our all time favourite place to go.

Had a great dinner last night with this place...i like the most amazing was there place and very pleasant atmosphere. We ordered starter , soup and main course..too good and yummy food i had ever ate near by this area.<br/>We ll come back soon<br/>Great service and great welcoming staff and great food

Food and service is pretty good here. The staff are always polite despite the events and functions they have in progress at any time.  <br/><br/>I recommend the fish amritsari that is served up in a crispy batter form and quite delish.<br/><br/>Would go back:)

Ordered a Butter Chicken & Chicken Korma both taste nothing like they were meant to and not nice at all, had to get something else for dinner, might of been a bad night but won't be going back.

I come here regularly with my local rotary club (Rotary Mt Eden). The VIP room is great for our meetings - the private room has a flat screen TV which can be used for our speaker's photo/image presentations (but not powerpoint). We share a range of dishes and they are always tasty, filling and good value. The menu has a wide range to choose from and the service is very good - we like to order our dishes mild and, where possible, gluten free - and, at the end of the evening, we can split the bill for those that have to pay by EFTPOS. Highly recommended.

It was a fantastic party organised by the restaurant staff. the food was really delicious and served on time. The customer services of the staff was really nice. and was plenty of space for the guest. Really great party enjoyed their.

We went for dinner to India gate Restaurant.We ordered chicken tikka,Bhendi masala and Kali Mirch chicken.Its very delicious,would like to appreciate the chef.Excellent customer service by Anu..thanks

India Gate is the best Indian fine Dining restaurant in Auckland.There services are really very good and Anu is very professional. I will really recommend this restaurant to everyone. Excellent food, quality and service

had a party last night service was totally poor didnt even got to eat all the starters.<br/>not enough staffing to manage the party .<br/>i would not recommend any1 to go their and book for the big party🙁🙁🙁🙁

Worst indian restaurant I have ever been to..... Food was really bad and will not recommend any one to go there. please do not go there at all...

We had a great 1st Birthday Party here with over 60 guests.  Great food and atmosphere for an evening function with family and friends..  Would recommend as a one-stop venue for a party.

Awesome food, great hospitality.<br/>Have been there at least 50 times.<br/>Must visit for every north Indian food lover.<br/>Nice location, parking etc.

We had dinner just now ..we oder the banquet ..i can see that its with the new style with new decoration presentation ..i wanna say one word its just all about awesome ..food was so good ..we gonna be come back ..thanks ..😊 <br/>And yup that lady with specs did awesome service ..👍🏻

Stupid food. Gravy they use is old. And the quality is not good enough as per the price. The staff cannot understand the words. Mango lassi and kulfi is awesome. But food is not worth the money.

I did my son's 5th birthday at IndiaGate it was the awesome experience. The place, food and service were wonderful and we didn't have any small issue/ tension to handle, everything was handled by IndiaGate team and they did a splendid job. I definitely recommend them. Zero worries, everything will be taken care and you just enjoy your event.

India Gate is by far the best Indian restaurant. Food is ABSOLUTELY delicious.Indian food is done beautifully, good vibes, friendly staff and always a great experience. The more you have it the more you crave for. The owner, Shivani Arora makes sure that the dishes are prepared fresh and have proper spice mix.

Great ambience ,yummy food and best service can't ask for more .THE BEST👍<br/>One of my favourite place to enjoy quality food <br/>With family and friends

The best restaurant in town to have the authentic indian food. Tastefully decorated place, friendly staff and a variety of mouth watering dishes to choose from. Love to go there with family and friends any day of the week.

Finger licking delicious food was served by friendly staff. A very pleasant experience and a must recommend to anyone who wants to eat authentic Indian cuisine. Will definitely go back for many more scrumptious meals .

We love India Gate! We've been dining here semi-regularly for at least 3 years. Food is always up to standard and we've never been disappointed. Staff are generally brilliant and very accommodating. We've introduced a heap of our friends and many are now regular guests themselves. Comfortable seating, authentic and attractive decor. Great value for money! Highly recommend!

We celebrated our baby first birthday in India Gate restaurant, we were amazed with the quality of food, service and ambiance. The customer service was excellent and their staff were very attentive. We love the ambiance, presentation of food and the decor of the restaurant.<br/><br/>Over all the food were awesome, the starter were served on table while our guest arrived we had arrange for buffet for dinner, which consist of veg & non veg. It was well presented and all the dishes were too good<br/><br/>Simply the best Indian cuisine in Auckland. It was a memorable day for us and without India gate staff it would not have been possible.

I visit this restaurant weekly and have done for the past 2 years. The staff are always so friendly and remember my order. The food is well priced and always delicious! Cheers team!

We come here on a regular basis and the food is always fantastic! Never disappoints with a great take on favourite dishes (absolutely adore the butter chicken - plenty of spice without being too hot or rich!). The Onion bhaji, tandoori chicken and samosas are all to be tried too.

We have been there couple of times and food was awesome.<br/>Must try... Punjabi chicken and paneer saag <br/>But malai kofta is not good at all....

We went last night, 26/3/16. Very busy with a wedding in the function room, but in saying that, we were attended to promptly and efficiently. Food was very tasty, and good sized portions. Will definitely go back again and try something different. Well worth a visit.

I go here every week on Thursday's and the staff are really friendly and remember my order. The food is really good and their lunch specials are at an affordable price. Highly recommended

Went in there not realising Nandos has closed, and India Gate has taken it's place.<br/><br/>As me and my partner were just about to walk out, the hosts strongly recommended us to stay and said 'Why not try some Indian instead?' <br/><br/>We both admired the host's sales enthusiasm, and we decided to go with Indian for the night :)<br/><br/>First, we were surprised by the amount of food, then was taken aback by the explosion of flavours from their Lamb Masala & Butter Chicken.<br/><br/>Naan was also freshly made.<br/><br/>The price was $10 or something as they were doing Monday, Tuesday special dinner pricing.<br/><br/>Keep it up guys!! Definitely returning.

This pace is really good ... The food , staff . .. I love it .. I went there yesterday with my friends.. There was a slight delay though with the food , they are super busy every time and its understandable though , but the time time we got our food .. It was finger lickin good .. I love to come here everytime .. There staff is always keen for the feedback and they always try to make their service even more better<br/>Thankyou for the awesome hospitality India gate !!

We are sitting at a table in indiagate from past 1 1/2 hours and they have not even served us with some plates.<br/>Their service sucks.<br/>The soup they served was pathetic. If their was a negative mark i would have given that.<br/>

Went for lunch served with excellent food and great service. Staff was very friendly and experienced; great standards and quality of food. Soothing and heart throbbing music. Beautiful interiors. Must say again Delicious food with great staff like Anu. Very thankful to Shivani Ji for providing with authentic food and kitchen from home. It's a must try restaurant to make it regular 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I was having a lazy evening so felt like ordering in. India gate had great reviews online and reasonable delivery cost so it was an easy choice. I ordered chicken korma, garlic naan and vegetable samosas. One of the creamiest and flavourful kormas Ive had in a long time. I like a bit of spice and it was perfect. The naan was slightly under cooked and cold on arrival which was disappointing but still nice flavour. The samosa were very generous for the price and not at all greasy which was great. Delivery time took a while considering Id ordered quite early but worth the wait. Next time I feel like a lazy curry, this will be my choice.

Great food - I come here all the time and the lunch specials are awesome. They have all the usuals but put a great spin on many classic flavours too,. Thanks India Gate!

We had a 60th Birthday party with about 75 people. The staff at the restaurant were well organised and made the whole process for arranging the party very easy. On the day we had an extra 10people turn up and staff easily arranged for extra tables and chairs to be put out. Food and service was excellent and all guess were really impressed. I would definitely recommend this venue to others. Excellent food, service and price.

We go here every Thursday for lunch, the staff is always prompt in greeting our group. Our waitress remembers our orders every week. It's amazing! Food is great! Service is great! Would totally recommend!

People who rate this this restaurant any less than 5 obviously don't know what true Indian cuisine is. The service is always great and the food is always exceptional. They are the ONLY curry restaurant I have been to in Auckland that doesn't add copious amounts of sugar to their food. On top of that everything is made fresh to order, and you can tell the quality of ingredients, especially meat, is second to none. 10/10 and if you need sugar with your spice to be able to handle it, go somewhere else!

Staff are always super friendly and make us feel<br/>at home. Food is always hot and delicious. Very authentic and an all round great restaurant. Thank you India Gate :)

Just had my engagement function here and it was a huge success. The Duty Manager (Anu) was an absolute delight. She was on top of everthing and took a lot of initiative. She was also helpful in finding the right contacts. I would highly recommend this place for organizing functions.

We held our son's 1st birthday party and would like to thank the team at india gate, Epsom. Everybody loved the environment and the atmosphere. The food was great n the staff was awesome. Thank you Anu,Gagan and Team.

Awesome restaurant with great food!! The lunch special is well worth the price. The service is always good and we go at least once a week. Definitely recommend :)

India Gate is a favourite with myself and co-workers, their lunch special of $10 for a curry, rice, naan and drink is great value. The butter chicken and chicken korma come highly recommended.  The staff are friendly and there is no need for a menu, they know our order!  See you next week.

Food is good but the service is very poor. They don't have any respect towards customers. Service is very slow and ambience is ok. I rather prefer takeaway.

Although India Gate is not exactly a fine dining establishment, my main priority is always the food; and this place has excellent food!<br/><br/>Very authentic tastes and some items among the appetizers that are either not usually found at other Indian restaurants or done in a pleasantly different way.<br/><br/>The curries are not over-sweetened which is my main criteria for a place to go back to again and again. Blasting everything with sugar is what lets most Indian restaurants down badly. They don't do it in India and they don't do it here at India Gate in Epsom :)

The taste is never consistent so I have now stopped ordering from here. There Chinese style chilli chicken and fried rice are worst. Punjabi style curry was good sometimes but taste was never consistent so can't recommend a single thing.

Been here a couple times the food is good for what your paying and the staff are pleasant only thing for me was we got put in a room away from the actual restaurant which was isolating and it was very cold and white where all the other customers were in the other main room and that was all done up and interesting<br/><br/>Apart from this I really liked the food it was ok.

We went to India Gate on 04/11/15. We ordered Malai Kofta, Paneer Pasandae and Naan. Both dishes were terrible! In fact so bad that we wanted to just get up and leave! Naan was dry and thin, not really worth the $3 they charge! I can’t even say that they were really busy and got it wrong this time because there were only 7 people at the restaurant including us 2! Added to this, our Naan came 5 minutes after the curries were served so the curries went a little cold! So service was crap! NEVER NEVER AGAIN! Ambiance is very tacky! Staff are polite. Perhaps only nice thing about this place.

Nice place for Indian food. Cool decor and ambience. A large menu with variety. Food is overall nice. Staff is friendly and courteous. Service needs to be more consistent.<br/>

I had quite a bad experience at India Gate, I wouldn't give it more than 1 stars, just for cleanliness because that was the only good thing about it. I went here for lunch with a friend today. First off the seating was horrible, we had to move twice. Second there was only one waiter in the restaurant who didn't even bother noting down our order, apparently he has a really good memory or so he thought. The food tasted less than average, I wouldn't pay that kind of money for food like that. Also the waiter with the very good memory forgot to bring us our drinks, as well as napkins and folks. We had to ask him to bring that stuff, then the drink arrived after I was done with my meal, I asked for lemonade, when I took a sip it was 7up, I called the waiter and told him its 7up and he went "No maam, its not 7up, its sprite" and I said but I asked for a lemonade and he said, yeah this is what we serve as lemonade because this is what people who come here like to have as lemonade!!! So disappointing, never going back!

Really had the worst Indian food here<br/>We ordered dinner which took way so long<br/>I ordered butter paneer which came not warm even forgot about hot <br/>I asked a girl who served us for salt and she didn't came back had to ask another girl who straight away brought me some<br/>Salt.<br/>The worst experience with customer service plus food . Not going there again!!!!

Visited here for lunch..the ambiance reminds you of almost every Indian restaurant abroad but here it has been done up tastefully..<br/><br/>They have a wall of fame where famous personalities from Bollywood have put up their compliments and good wishes.. <br/><br/>We ordered palak paneer, paneer kadhai, panchratni dal and breads..rice served complimentary with main course dishes I guess..food was cooked well and tasted authentic..it was served hot..special mention for the dal as the tadka was awesome..<br/><br/>Would also like to compliment the staff, the bestiv seen in auckland till now..good luck..

I really had a bad experience at India Gate Restaurant, Epsom on 9th of July which was my birthday. I was their with my wife and friend to celebrate it.  We are a regular customer of India Gate Restaurant. As we say first impression lasts, we were shocked when we were been told that India gate will charge extra $5 to cut the cake.  I mean what an welcome for a loyal customer.  There were about 25-30 customers on that Thursday evening and to serve them there was only 1 guy and 1 lady who she said was Manager. They took about 25 mins just to take order. I mean this is just ridiculous, our night was spoiled with the service. Finally we were served dinner approx 35 mins after we ordered. Then we found that, there were no naan breads, we had been told that they are making it now and will take 10 more mins. We complained several times but nothing had happened. At last we received our naans which were burned from the side so had to return it again. Also found that the curry bowl was half empty. We complained this to Manager, she said sometimes it happen. We asked her to make it again as why we get the half bowl of curry when we paid the full amount. She seems to be unhappy with our request. Our dinner got spoiled till that time and we were planning to go somewhere else, at last we got our curry after 15 mins or so.On the top we were not compensated with anything else nor any concerns been shown by their staff. Food was pathetic as well as Customer service. I had organized a birthday party at India gate previously and was planning to organize a function at India Gate but thanks for the eye opener.  Really BAD BAD SERVICE. Shivani Ji  you need to get more staff rather then working on cost cutting during dinner time.

India gate is one of the first Indian restaurant's in Auckland where I am always served with an authentic Indian taste that reminds of my home country. I visited today and I was served with amazing food which was just outstanding.. which makes me "mmmmm wowwww". It was sooo delicious that I may not be able to describe it in words. The staff service was excellent though it was busy I and my family was not ignored at all or there was no chance that I could complain. They all were really polite and friendly and did their level best they could do. I am really pleased and happy. I am happy to say it again and again that it was yummmmm :).. All thanks to management of India Gate restaurant that you have provided all Indian residents of Auckland the best Indian restaurant. I personally recommend everyone to visit and try it for once and you will make your visit regular for sure.....Cheers :)

One of the best restaurant good food and good hospitality by young smart manager seems like Punjabi honestly everything was gud we been on last Thursday

Our friend had organised a birthday party for his kid here. Th food was nice especially the naan breads, they were soft and didn't have to spend much effort chewing them. The curries tasted nice would recommend the chicken tikka to everyone who visits that place. The ambiance was good but the space was quite open not a place for something romantic;).

Sitting here right now (Monday night) there's a party here right now it's like a night club when everyone else wants to eat they shouldn't open it to the public if they are going to throw a private function.

Food not tasty. waited more almost hour to get main course. On asking ......replied sorry as having birth day party so having delay. What an excused.

Not happy with the quality of food . Being Indian our parents took us there to experience something we couldn't make at home . Food was average . Service was poor as it was under staffed . The owners were sitting behind us but didn't bother helping with the service . Very poor and bad experience .

India Gate is a good Indian restaurant to visit and serves some good flavours and has good value for money. Surely would recommend the Harabhara Kebabs from the starters and the veg platter is surely worth a try. Mains are good too but would give the Indian Chinese a miss as they lack consistency in flavours and at time be pretty strange if you are familiar with Indian ChineseThe weekend buffet for $15.00 is good value for money and offers a decent selection with hot naans served to the table. I personally enjoy the Boondi Raita that is served on the buffetThe ambience is pretty good for a catch up with friends of family and a good display of Indian celebs that have visited the restaurant. One drawback that this restaurant faces is lack of staff, quiet often staff are rushed and seem confused. There could be wait on meals dining when the restaurant is busy and this is not communicated by the staff. The manager is friendly and helpful and seems to be doing most of the work aroundWould surely recommend but try and visit when the restaurant just opens to miss the rush

Me and my wife have tried their lunch buffet on weekend. But it was totally tasteless to both of us. Its seemed that 15$ buffet is just to make stomach full !!!

Mains at only $9.90 represents good value. The food was good too. The service was okay but one complaint ... my Kingfish beer cost $13.50!!!! That would have to be the most expensive beer around. Next time I go I wont order the beer or will look at the drinks menu - perhaps the waitress should have told me that the beer was $13.50?<br/><br/>Will return again as close to home.

All I can say is the food was really nice. There was nobody to greet customers at the entrance and was a bit awkward as we had to walk up to the bar counter to get noticed. The lady who took our order seemed a bit distracted and didn't even ask for our drink orders. I had to stop her and say what we wanted to drink. Overall service was alright nothing fabulous but food was good.

hi,<br/>so i went for dinner last wednesday with one of my friend, as we enter in their was no one to welcome or show us where to sit, after waiting for 5 min a lady came with the glasses on and showed us table, we were sitting in a fine dine places and expecting th professional service for what we came for and paying for it but their was no water on the server for like 10 min and then we tried to ask the lady and she grabbed the bottle from other table and put on ours, she gave some papadoms while she gave us the menu but unfortunately that was the worst i ever had, it seems like pre cooked and kept for long so they were really cold and started being a little soggy anyways that was a start and then we planned to have butter chicken and lamb rogan josh with garlic naan, the order was made mild to medium but taste like hot and the chicken was a bit raw that made both of us sick next day, and surprisingly the gravy was tasting almost the same in both dishes, complimentary rice was served cold, we ordered 2 naan but after we finished no one bother to ask if we need anything, their was a guy with turban who was walking around like a big boss but dot really care whats going on inside his place.<br/><br/>overall i will never ever go their in such a kind of fine dine place, and for sure never ever would recommend to any of my friends. i m really done <br/>thanks for giving me the worst experience i ever had...

My 40 the birthday organised by my wife ,start. Time 7:30 pm Saturday 13th September ,guest 22 people, first of attention wasn't there from beginning, entree starters were 30 minutes late got served at 8pm.mains were delivered at 9 .10 pm after 45 minutes food came like this 2 rice 1 naan 2lamb vindaloo 22 guest really crap under staffed no management organisation really my wife was very upset and my guest please don't go to this pethetic restaurant its just waste of money and time my wife was chasing them up to refill and half the she was running to get food go back to India and learn your service you spoiling the name

This place used to be excellent a few months back. But lately, it's really gone downhill. I really am at a loss to know what's happened - maybe new chefs. After three total disappointments in as many weeks, including an extremely mild Vindaloo that was more like a lightly seasoned casserole (WTF?) and a completely inedible, tasteless but way over-salted butter chicken (the first one I had was epic - the best I've ever had) we won't be returning.<br/><br/>We really thought we'd found the ultimate curry spot. Alas, it was not to be. The search resumes. Extremely disappointing.

Went for the Sunday lunch buffet which was surprisingly empty. We went in as the price seemed good and came out satisfied, but not ecstatic. Wasn't too happy about the cheap canteen looking plates which really ruined the beautiful decor and appearance of the restaurant. The dishes they had on offer was Lamb Rogan Josh, a paneer dish, chilli chicken, daal and kheer for dessert. Frankly the lamb was the only dish that was above average, but still not amazingly different. This place is a typical indian restaurant, and from the buffet menu does not seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

So disappointed ... took the extended family for the Sunday lunch buffet for my son's 13th birthday and was embarrassed by what was on offer. Even the paper cloth had smears of gravy on it before we started and one of the staff in the background stood there ironing table cloths. The plates were metal trays like in a very cheap canteen. Hardly a special &amp; welcoming atmosphere. I wish we'd left then but having seen so many good reviews I thought the food would more than make up for it, wrong! The only meat dish was a butter chicken full of bones including a long stringy neck I got in my first mouthful, ugh. A lamb rogan josh was brought out shortly before we left. Poppadoms and pakora tasty but terribly oily compared to others we've had. Only vege curry was a palak paneer which if you are not a real cottage cheese and spinach fan isn't good. Very watery daahl. We've eaten a lot of Indian food overseas and in NZ including in our local suburb which are far far superior. A total disappointment especially after all the rave reviews. Hard to believe it's the same place.

Great tasting food, great portions, excellent service all equals fantastic value. <br/><br/>I am a veteran Indian food campaigner. I've enjoyed Indian food in Santiago, New York, Dubai, Edinburgh, Sydney, Casablanca, Cairo, London, Hong Kong, to name some of the best experiences. In India I've tried Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Trivandrum, Goa, Pune and Delhi. <br/><br/>India Gate might not be the best at any single dish but believe me, they offer one of the best eclectic performances out there! <br/><br/>Great value, great food great service!

My husband and I are total curry addicts and over the years we have tried EVERY Indian restaurant in Auckland. For a long time now we have never been 100% happy with our local Indian restaurants - until we discovered India Gate!! The food there is absolutely devine and so reasonably priced. We have never been disappointed with our meal. Plus they do free delivery and are always very punctual. We really want these guys to do well because their food, pricing and service is totally faultless. Couldn't recommend them more highly!! <br/><br/>Donna &amp; Andrew (Remuera)

Consistently good. Child friendly and fairly authentic food only a little bit dumbed down for NZ plebians. However possibly the best value for money Indian cuisine in Auckland.

India gate is honestly the best Indian restruant I have ever been to, it's even better than all the Indian restruants in Melbourne. First of all the food is delicious. I deffinlety recommend getting the lanb korma even though all of the food is great.<br/>Next the service is fantastic. We even got greeted at the door. Once we ordered, the food was ready in no less than ten minutes. The staff are all verry friendly and should be recognised for their great service and their great food. For $9.90 for a main, India gate is affordable and a great place to eat out at from Monday to Thursday and with anyone.

My family love this restaurant. We had no problems getting a table and the service was fast, and the staff helpful and friendly. The menu selection was excellent and the food was simply delicious with succulent meat and generous proportions. This is brilliant value for money. We totally recommend India Gate and will be coming back regularly from now on.

My sister raved on about this place and finally took me there last Wednesday. Frankly the food is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! The waitresses that served us were very efficient and friendly. <br/>It being my first time, one waitress even suggested a dish which was new to me, Chicken Karahi, most enjoyable. The appetizer platter and the portions of the mains were bigger than expected with the added complimentary rice, so I took the rest home in a doggy bag – yes, you can mock but only an idiot would leave behind delicious food….<br/>I tend to always check out the interior and bathroom. I found the décor to be tastefully dressed in beautiful cultural theme. The bathroom was finished to a high standard. <br/>With the exception of a dirty knife, which was quickly replaced, I will definitely go back and recommend this place to anyone wanting to enjoy a fantastic meal and good service without the fine dining price.

I had a really good time with friends there over the last few months. The food was out of this world, freshly made, and all of the flavors one would expect from a first class Indian establishment. I eat out a lot and this is simply the best. Not interested in the drinks dept as I was there for the wonderful food. The Madras lamb and chicken perfect as were the sides.<br/>Service was excellent. I will return down south and really miss them.

This is a 'typical, average, tired' restaurant....staff are not motivated and the food is palatable but not the kind of place I'd go back to have a good relaxed evening...the bar is below average and does not stock anything more than a 'normal' brand of liquor too. Nothing exciting!

Went there last Saturday without expectation. Most Indian food in NZ sucks as commerical companies deliver their products everywhere and I'll bet most places just heat them up. Not India Gate! I had the Lamb Madras and it actually tasted like a spicy, fresh Lamb Madras instead of a canned soup. My friend had a fantastic rogan josh too. They obviously make the food fresh and provide reasonable value for money in an authentic atmosphere.<br/><br/>Jason Prendergast

After a suggestion from a Taxi driver we tried India Gate Takeaways. If you love Indian food but are bored to tears with the offering at most Indian joints then you should definitely try India Gate.<br/><br/>The best Rogan josh I've tasted, and the dal's amazing. Interesting menu with what feels like genuine authenticity, with the ubiquitous crowd pleasers also but I'm sure they are top notch as well!<br/><br/>Can't wait in dine in!

Have been here a few times, the first couple of times service was their let down, but has seemed to have improved a smile can go a long way. The food is without a doubt amazing. Have been when they have the specials and quantity of food is very good. Biryani quantities could be improved,but without a doubt best biryani in Auckland. All in all great place! Will visit again soon, thanks for endeavouring to keep up the service India gate!

Terrible service @ Indian Gate – On previous occasions the Biryani was one of the best I've had but on my recent visit for my birthday on Tuesday (29/01), the food and service was highly disappointed!!!<br/><br/>Food – Tried couple of different Naan &amp; Chicken Karahi ... They were fresh and mouth watering but the Biryani was shocking !!! 3rd grade tiny cooked yellow rice covered few blanched tasteless stone cold chicken pieces. Absolutely guttered and this is not what I was expecting from Indian Gate. There were no herbs &amp; spices or vegetables as described on the Menu !!!<br/><br/>Service – Restaurant was so quiet and there was only 2 tables occupied but took nearly an hour to deliver our food. The stewardess (apparently the manager on duty) was disengaged and reluctant to help. A small request for refilling our carafe of water, turned into the most disgusting service I have experienced being a hospitality professional. Replacing with the other tables used water after they had left, was inexcusable and unhygienic.<br/><br/>Deserts not offered and upon leaving, the cashier did not fully acknowledged my comments. I hope in the future your quality of food and service improves and is consistent with the “fine Indian dining” you are promoting.

I have ordered takeaways from here multiple times in the last 2 years. the gentleman who does the deliveries is very nice. The food is excellent, I would highly recommend. The cheap Mon-Thurs meals is a bargain, and delicious. I love this place!

We had India Gate to cater for our child's 5th Birthday Party. The food was simply immaculate. India Gate delivered to their promise. The food taste and quality was more than expected. Our guests were amazed to have such a great food experience outside India. You guys have set the bar really high. Keep up the good work. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and excellent service. Despite arriving within half an hour of closing time, we were made to feel welcome and were under no pressure to finish our meal quickly. We will certainly come again and will pass on the good news to our friends.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal! I love Indian food..but it has to be great!!!<br/>The waiters throughout the night were wonderful and helpful:). <br/>I would definitely go back! Recommended to all:). Keep up the good work guys:)

My colleague and I had an excellent time at India Gate. The food was immaculate and the flavours of both the Starters and the Mains were explosive. What we really loved the most was the excellent customer service - every 15 mins the Manager would come around and check on the Diners to see if we/they needed anything else. The food, the soft light atmosphere and the service is a huge 10 out of 10. I will be going back with a bigger party next time.

Good food, friendly waiters/waitresses, nice decor, affordable pricing. Simply do not understand the policy you have about not allowing your dine in customers to get their leftover rice packed up in a takeaway container. The only explanation is that you use the leftover rice for other customers. If not, wouldn't you rather give the rice away to those who want it instead of throwing it away? Please explain.

Food &amp; atmosphere was really good and very reasonably priced. Only negative feedback is we were told that we could not takeaway rice they provided with the curry as the rice is complimentary. I found this very odd as we had at least half of bowl of rice remaining. I really hope they don't re use their rice!

I discovered this restaurant two weeks back and have already been three times! There are four other Indian restaurants I go to - but the food here tops them all! Very authentic, not "watered down" for Euro tastebuds. Many Indians choose to dine here, which is a signal of it's quality. As well as the excellent food, when one considers the special on mains Mon-Thurs - then this is doubtless the best value Indian in Auckland. Staff courteous and non intrusive. Warm surroundings.

We went to India gate because we were hearing good things about it on an Indian radio station Humm FM, so we thought we will go and try this new place from our usual Indian Restaurant. <br/><br/>We went in and the place did not seem busy as I thought as it was a Tuesday and they have $9.90 mains. We were sited at a table with nothing at the table. After 5mins were given the menus and then after another 10mins were asked if you would like any drinks. We placed our order with another waiter after asking two other waiters that we are ready to order. She took our order in her head, no notepad or anything. <br/><br/>We had to be at the airport to drop someone off and during the time our meal was getting ready we asked two different staff that we had to be somewhere and asked how long the food will take. None of them came back with a answer. When asked the owner as he was there, he said it's coming. <br/><br/>After 45mins for waiting for our food we just decided to leave and then the plates show up on the table. We did not have any food from there as we only had 15mins to eat if we ever got it. <br/><br/>Very bad customer service indeed but not sure about the taste of the food. Shame on you!!! Fine Indian dining, yeah right.

Went over to India gate on Wednesday night as they had a special $ 9.90 for most mains. It took a while for the food to arrive, however, the taste was ecstatic. <br/><br/>The chicken Karachi was the best - its an in house special.<br/>the service was really good, the waiter was very courteous and polite. <br/><br/>Overall - it was a great experience except for the time it took for the food to be prepared. 4/5 - will definitely visit again.

I went to India Gate on a Thursday night to get the $10 curries.<br/><br/>Service was great, and curries were delicious.<br/><br/>I had a medium buttered chicken, but it was definitely on the hot side for a medium, that was ok though, I enjoy spicy food.<br/><br/>The only strange thing was that we asked to take our left over curries home (there was a decent amount left over). I also asked if I could have the barely touched bowl of rice that was left too. I was told that I wasn't able to have the rice, only the curries to take home! This was confusing to me, I mean, if it was going to go to waste, why couldn't I have the rice? are they going to re- use it for the next customer? Very strange I thought. <br/><br/>Anyway, other than that, my friends and I enjoyed our curry (and potentially re-used rice left over from someone else. Lol!)

I work near the location of India Gate and decided to walk in during the lunch special times. The waiter was nice and showed me around right away and ask me if I'd like any drinks. The waitress was also nice. I ordered the butter chicken and I have tried alot of butter chicken but this one of the best. 5 stars and hope to try new things on my lunch break in the future.

Great service I had my wedding there and the food and service was very nice the layout and lights. All my family and Friends had a wonderful time I would defiantly recommend indiagate for nice family evening out or an occasion. Adeline Mane

Went about couple of days before and was welcomed with an awesome atmosphere, with beautiful music in the background and the staff with excellent customer service. Had gone with few friends and were really hungry. When we ordered food told them to give it fast out as we were starving. Within 10 to 15mins the food came out with a beautiful aroma and taste. We all truly loved the food and is the best Indian restaurant I have been too. The drinks we ordered were a bit warm while we wanted them chilled. Except for that minute problem, me and my friends had a lovely experience and have definitely become their lifelong customers. :) Thank you Indiagate for the brilliant food, customer service and atmosphere.

We received a very well presented flyer in our letterbox. We ordered a variety of starters and mains - the food was simply delightful and delicious - each dish had its own very unique flavours and aromas. It is very well priced - we took advantage of the Monday-Wednesday main meal special. Very refreshing as some of our local eating establishments variety and presentation can be average. Will definitely order from there again! Well done!

Some flyers had been delivered to our place of business and the lunch deal seemed like great value. Curry, rice, naan and a soft drink for only $10. Great deal right? I'm all for supporting local businesses, so I went around the office and found a couple of people to eat with me. I drove to pick it up, and upon completing the purchase I asked which drinks were available. I was told that drinks were not included in the lunch special if it was to be taken away. I looked at the flyer once more, and read it aloud. Monday to Friday, Dine in or Take away, Curry, rice, naan and a soft drink all for $10. I was told that there were conditions which apply to the whole menu, and I was shown a small note on the front which said '*Conditions apply'.<br/><br/>The butter chicken we ordered was pretty good, and it was still good value regardless of the drink not being included. However, I feel I was mislead. I'm not sure I would have taken the time to find some coworkers to order with me, and then have driven 5 minutes to pick it up, if I had known that it would have cost me $13 in total after I purchased a bottle of drink for everyone from a nearby dairy.<br/><br/>The sad reality is that this is a great way to lose potential customers, and not the way a recently opened business should be operating.<br/><br/>Also, we had asked for one mild, one medium and one hot dish, but when we sat down to eat we saw nothing to indicate which dish was which.

We thought we'd give this place a go, as we often drive past it and we are always on the lookout for new places to eat.<br/><br/>We wandered in and were a bit confused by the conflicting signs for 'walk-ins' pointing us in two directions, with the most obvious way blocked by a big barrel. The restaurant is obviously set up for functions, with a couple of smaller areas set aside for 'walk-ins'. The initial effect of the restaurant was that it was cold (it was winter), bright and lacking in atmosphere. We felt as though we were entering a barn.<br/><br/>We hovered at the entrance for some time waiting for someone to come and take us to a table; initially we wondered if there was a private function on as there was nobody around to help us, although there were three tables occupied in the main function area. <br/><br/>India Gate does not do things quickly. We had to wait for our menu to arrive as well. The waitress seemed quite sweet, and initially seemed quite onto-it, but after taking our order and disappearing for about 10 minutes she came back and asked us to repeat it. She did have a good knowledge of the ingredients in the dishes though, which was encouraging.<br/><br/>The food was similarly slow in coming. We wanted a small meal, so ordered the Hara Bhara for an entree to share, plus the Mattar Mushroom and the Veg Manchurian. We had been there for about an hour by the time our mains arrived. Two of the other three tables had already received their meals when we arrived, so they weren't rushed off their feet. Notwithstanding that, the waiters still managed to confuse the tables, and we never did get the second glass of water we requested.<br/><br/>The food was average. We asked for 'hot' and would really have called it 'medium'. The Hara Bhara were really lovely but the Mattar Mushroom seemed to have been made with canned mushrooms and the dumplings in the Veg Manchurian tasted stale and stodgy.

I have eaten at India Gate 3 times and my experience is pretty much the same for each time. <br/><br/>The venue is ok for functions. Maybe because there are not many options. But I feel it can be so much better for a venue. <br/><br/>The food is good but only if it is served hot and eaten immediately otherwise give it 15 minutes and then it may be edible. Dining of the ala carte menu is plausible but as mentioned above needs to be eaten at the moment, functions menu seems like a rushed job and maybe trying to get the good covered for everyone other than focusing on the quality and taste of the food also.<br/><br/>Review update:-<br/>Been here again since my last review. I don't know why I even bothered. Absolutely over rated and a rip off. Food could be cooked better by my 14 year old son who is very novice but limited bed to cook. Now if I was to review his cooking it would be a 4. This place seems like one if those migrant scam restaurants. Ambience was poor and atmosphere very cold. They only run on having famous people dined there. But I tell you what if this place is where famous people are brought to dine then I'll be damned. <br/><br/>Don't waste your time and money. You will shit your ring and have stomach upset for days afterwards. Unfortunately I can't review less than a 1

I tried their lunch buffet and there is only one word to describe it "Rubbish".

Hello people India gate is one of the popular restaurant around Auckland where indian celebrities such as Abhishek Bachchan Bappi etc goes for private conference and have food there I went there for a family birthday party I must say as soon as I entered I was awestruck by the lighting the decoration was suitable according to the event. I would recommend people to throw their parties there because the space is quite big and it has a stage which people can perform and a projector for business causes .<br/><br/>Their food is amazing the starter was great and it filled me up as it's was a buffet I would say this is one of the successful restaurant that's provides buffets according to everyone's taste in the family and they consider about our likings and allergies the main course is really good but not as good as the starter. Still I would say people have different taste so I would say people go and taste their food you might like it more than me and one more thing their vegetarian curries are lip smacking like the malai koftas and this other dish I fell in love with but I can't remember the name I think it's butter paneer <br/><br/> my favourite main course is butter chicken it's good it's not the spicy or sweet it's perfect and one of the starter is their chaat and chutney I love I'm more a chaat person so yes I love it <br/><br/>As I'm a teenager I would say this a little above average I mean it's a great place to throw events great catering and presentation is good so folks go see if you agree with me
