Gateway To India - Tacoma

This place tries to accommodate vegan guests, especially during buffet hours. The food is reliably delicious. The free lens soup is vegan. The Zilantro Chutney is not. The vegetarian section of the menu indicates which dishes are vegan or can be made vegan.

Love this place! Menu options marked clearly. Many vegan options. The staff is very attentive and very accommodating. Just tell them you are vegan and they will have so many recommendations for you! Updated by previous review on 2021-06-22

Decided to try Indian food for the first time about a month ago. Gateway to India was completely AMAZING. Totally vegan friendly and the staff is always wonderful. So glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried this tasteful kitchen!

I LOVE this place! Definitely one of my top two favorites in Tacoma. They have many vegan options that are clearly marked (vegan or may be made vegan. I love the split pea soup they serve with all of their entrees, and the basmati rice!

I have been to many Indian restaurants but the vegan options are not always that positive even at the vegetarian restaurants. Gateway takes this seriously as I believe one of the owners is also a vegan. Everything vegan friendly is well marked. If there is something that you want that may be vegetarian but not vegan, they will modify it for you. They do use the same fryer for all foods so be conscious of that. They may be able to bake some options instead of frying if you want and they are available to do so. The food is also really good quality. There is always a large wait staff to help and check on you and always friendly.
