“It's hard to find Indian/Nepalese (aka Himalayan) restaurants. It's basically Indian food with even more flavor. This place definitely lives up to the expectations. The food is incredibly flavorful, the naan is awesome, and they even have a few draft beers to boot!“
“An oddly authentic atmosphere staffed by 100% Hispanic workers. The lunch special is a good deal. Wish they would give you real plates though.Vegetarian options: I think you'll have an easy timeDietary restrictions: seems ok with celiacs and nondairy.Parking: pretty easyKid-friendliness: it's food, but there's nothing targeted at childrenWheelchair accessibility: seems fine, even the bathroom“
“Had the Malai Kofta. First time I tried such a dish. Really good. Enjoyed the garlic Naan and veg. Samosa. Portion size was good for two of us to share. Met the owner Narjees who said they also own a restaurant of the same name in San Clemente.“
“The best Indian food I have eaten so far since I moved from India which has been over 13 years . We were just visiting LA and our kids love to eat Indian food so we found this restaurant on google and landed here. The food was one of a kind .All the staff and the owner are very kind , polite and hospitable . The owner is very friendly and makes sure everyone is having a good time . I know where to go now if I am craving for an authentic Indian meal ?. If I was living in California , I would be here at least one day of the week . Food has true flavors of indian spices . It definitely feels like the food has been made with so much love . The service was really quick . We were super hungry and barely had to wait for our meals to arrive . I am in love with the food . I would 110% recommend this restaurant ❤️“

“This past weekend, my brother invited my mom and I to eat at India Gate. It was my first time going, and I'm so glad I tagged along! The food was delicious, and I loved that they had so many options for those who are vegetarian. I'm personally not vegetarian, but my mom is so to see they had so many options for her was really nice. Not many restaurants cater to those who are vegetarian, but India Gate definitely does.I personally ended up eating more of the vegetarian options than the meat options and did not miss the meat one bit. The vegetarian options were just as satisfying, if not more satisfying than their meat filled counterparts.The fresh Naan was also SO delicious! It was fresh and so soft. It paired perfectly with all the food they had to offer. The best part is it's unlimited so you can have all the Naan your heart desires. I personally had a good couple of pieces and do not regret it one bit.To top off the delicious food, I had some of their mango pudding, which had mixed fruit in it. It was the perfect way to wrap up an already delicious meal. I have to admit, it was so good I had two servings of it. Sorry, not sorry. Once you taste it, you'll understand why I loved it so much. With that said, if you love Indian Food and are on the fence about trying India Gate, don't be. I say try it at least once. I'm sure you won't be disappointed by the food or service.The establishment itself isn't anything fancy, but the food is SO good, I could care less. The restaurant may not be Instagram worthy, but the food sure is. There was not one thing I tried that I didn't like. Every single thing was delicious. I highly recommend it.And for $15.99 per person for all you can eat, you cannot complain! Their price is an amazing price for an all you can eat establishment. I definitely recommend checking it out at least once, and yes, I know I'm repeating myself at this point, but it's SO good, I must insist everyone try it at least once. Just once. You won't regret it. Try it and you can thank me later. ;)P.S. I have no pics because the food was SO good, I forgot to take pics. Next time, I'll definitely make an effort to take pics, because there will for sure be a next time and I cannot wait for it!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and all are delicious!!“
“Went here on the 4th of July weekend for lunch. The service was quick maybe because the restaurant was pretty empty.We ordered a couple of curries, roti, naan and mango lassi. Mango lassi was the best I would say. The paneer makhni was too tangy and tasted tomato all over. Dal tadka was slightly watery and could be thicker.Good place for a quick bite. Would definitely try again to give them another chance.“
“Superb food and awesome service. We ordered Kashmiri dum aloo, Bhindi masala, malai kofta, Sahi paneer saag matar, assorted bread etc- everything came out so tasty. All of us enjoyed the food, drinks and amazing service. Mr. Puri Ali and their team always make it special.“
“BEST NIGHT IVE HAD IN AWHILE! THE FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS BUT THE TOILET.. OH THE TOILET WAS SOMETHING I HAVENT SEEN IN AWHILE. NEVER HAVE IVE SEEN A BATHROOM LIKE THAT! LEMME TELL YOU THE FOOD WAS AMAZING AND FRESH BUT THE TOILET WAS EXQUISITE!!“
“Great place for Indian food, I tried different dishes here my favorite one is fried rice and thali. Prices are reasonable and service is good. South Indian menu is also delicious. Parking is never a problem but in peak hours you may need to park a bit away from restaurant.Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly.“
“For all Indian food lovers, come try this delicious Indian cuisine.For $17.95 all you can eat buffet everyday from 11am to 7 pm.Excellent food very fresh and I highly recommend.They have the highest rating in Orange County. Their chicken tikka and chicken masala are very good. Also I love the tandoori chicken.Give it a try you’ll be back again.“

“Food 5*Vibe 3*Service 5*Dont judge based on the restaurants interior location. this is by far THE BEST Pakistani Restaurant in Southern California.Their Karahi chicken, grilled meats, and garlic naan combo is legendary and a MUST try. There is a bit of spice to it, but nothing a glass of Mango lassi cant take care of.“
“Vishnu Catering did a spectacular job at the event that I planned for ~100 people in Santa Barbara. They showed up on time, prepared, and were very professional to work with throughout the entire process. We haven't even gotten to the food yet - every single person at the event (desi and non-desi) enjoyed the food and praised the food to us. Of note, the rasmalai, double ka meetha, mutton curry, mango daal, chai, apollo fish, mango lassi, chicken tikka masala, paneer makhani, aloo gobi, and more. You can't go wrong by choosing Vishnu Catering for your event. They were a hit. Thanks Ram, for all the effort and for helping making our day so special.“
“It's a reasonable lunch for the price. It's a cute buffet and although it doesn't have a lot of variety, the food is delicious. The naan was so delicious. You can park right in front and to the side without any problems. Lunch is from 11:00am to 2:30pm and costs $17.95. There is only one outdoor magnet... If the weather is warm, the shade of the trees is a good place^^“
“I’ve never write a review to any place ever, but this place really worth to be reviewed.The food and the service are perfect!!!!I suggest everyone to visit here if they are a fan of indian food.They have the best modern Indian dished with a prettiest design ever.I don’t know the server name (she was a blond lady) she was soo professional!!!!!!Loveeee this placee!!!!“
“Saturday was my first time trying the food here. Overall it was pretty good. I did the lunch combo that came with two entrees and rice with a side of bread. They do charge an upcharge for the garlic bread. I highly suggest just getting the regular bread and ordering a side of garlic bread because then you get double the bread for the price of the upcharge. The food overall was great... if you are in the mood for Indian food or something with curry then definitely hit this place up.“
“Awesome hidden gem located near the Huntington's Harbour area. By traders joes. Great doughnuts. They are incredibly of magically delicious. I ordered a 12 for some friends and I. They didn't last. Old fashions, filled or maple bars are incredibly. Highly recommended this place. The owners are very nice and easy going. They take the time to get to know you as a customer and regular. Quick pick up spot. Sometimes there's a line but it's quick. Worth the wait. Be patient. Support your local doughnut shop!“
“This is a hidden restaurant of authentic Indian curries and I'm sure it guarantees the most quality and flavor in the area. I had chicken marquee and vandalu combo number four and I feel healthy! If you're in Irvine, make sure you visit this place!!“
“I love this place! My partner and I often come here for the lunch special, but my favorite thing to order is Matter Paneer for dinner! Tried many places before deciding this was THE ONE.Vegetarian options: I think they have a great selection of vegetarian items! My favorites are aloo goblin, matter panner, and the vegetable korma!“
“Travelled all the way from LA to have lunch here. Loved the food. Amazing appetizers and Paneer dishes. The non-alcoholic dronks were great too ! True legacy food recipes from Sanjeev Kapoor ( a famous Indian chef).Great ambience too.We ordered the Panerr Chilly, Kadai Paneer, Baghare Baingan, Laccha Paratha, Guava drink and apple mojitos.Highly recommend this place for Indian cuisine lovers.“
“Hands-down the best Indian/Nepalese food I've been able to find in OC! I often get take-out from here. Every dish I've tried has been fantastic. Amar and the staff there are so friendly and kind. Always a joy to interact with them!The Kashmiri cherry almond Naan is heaven...I've never had anything like it before!I will be back for the rest of my life.Vegetarian options: I am a vegetarian and there are so many fantastic options! I've still yet to try all of them!“
