Gate Of India - Durban

The ambiance is captivating, featuring traditional Indian decor, warm lighting, and comfortable seating arrangements. As I entered, I was warmly greeted by friendly staff who promptly escorted me to my table. The attention to detail in crafting an authentic Indian dining experience was impressive. The menu at Gate of India presents an extensive array of Indian dishes, showcasing the vibrant flavors and rich heritage of the region. As an enthusiast of Indian cuisine, I was eager to explore a variety of offerings that highlighted the robust spices and unique combinations typical of Punjabi cooking. To start, I chose the samosas, a quintessential Punjabi appetizer. The crispy pastry shells were filled with a savory mixture of potato and peas, perfectly seasoned and accompanied by a tangy chutney. The flavors were spot-on, making the samosas a delightful way to kick off the meal. For the main course, I ordered butter chicken and garlic naan. The butter chicken, a classic North Indian dish, was truly exceptional. The tender chicken pieces were enveloped in a creamy, tomato-based sauce infused with aromatic spices. The dish achieved a wonderful balance of flavors, and the richness of the sauce was perfectly complemented by the fluffy garlic naan. Each bite offered a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that left me wanting more. The service at Gate of India was attentive and efficient. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu, providing recommendations and accommodating special dietary requests. The food was served promptly and presented beautifully, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to delivering a memorable dining experience. In conclusion, Gate of India offers a delightful and authentic Indian dining experience. From its warm and inviting atmosphere to the delectable flavors of its dishes, every aspect of the restaurant is designed to immerse guests in the rich culinary traditions of North India. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or looking to explore new flavors, a visit to Gate of India is highly recommended.

Delicious food and excellent service! Their samoosas are unusual looking but outstanding crispy pyramids stuffed with filling and served with a fresh green sauce, be sure to share these unless it's your main course, as they are big. We had 2 different veg curries, both of which were delicious. Very attentive service, very reasonably priced. My new go to Indian restaurant!

Beautiful restaurant and Wonderful service ! Garlic and chili naan is absolutely divine

Lovely atmosphere, friendly owners and staff. The menu caters for everyone. Perfect for sharing a variety of meals as a group. Vegetarian and vegan options. Samosas are the best I have ever had. Authentic and flavourful We are so lucky to have this restaurant in our neighborhood! You can dine in the restaurant (inside and outside areas), grab a take away or Uber Eats/Mr D but I highly recommend dining in to experience the hospitality.

Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing, with every bite you have a new burst of flavours. Service is always so friendly and attentive. Plenty of vegan options to choose from. Food and drinks are well priced.
