India Gate is located at 1116 Elmwood Ave and 1264 Hertel Ave in Buffalo. We offer the most authentic Indian dishes which have evolved over centuries to perfection. Each dish is prepared with a variety of spices and ingredients to create a distinct and individual flavor. For centuries, some of these spices have been prescribed for their health imparting qualities and ancient healing properties.
Our fresh ingredients are skillfully cooked to preserve a low fat, high nutritional value, and prepared for your taste, from mild to medium, to hot. All entrees are also served with authentic Basmati rice. Drop off catering available. My daughter picked up a birthday dinner for me on Sunday, everything was delicious!

My absolute favorite Indian food spot in Buffalo. My boyfriend and I come here at least twice a month for Indian. They also make a really amazing mango lassi. You will not regret coming here. To top it all off the owner is one of the kindest people we have met. Thank you for the amazing food and service!!

India Gate is where i met with Indian Cuisine. I can’t eat out very often because I have a gluten allergy however everything I ate here (Rogan Josh, Chicken Tikka, Appetizer Cheese Platter) we’re all safe for me. They were absolutely delicious as well. We had to come back a week after to have some indian food again! Very flavorful! The ambiance of the place is also very unique. A great dinner date restaurant. I believe the place is a family owned business which is amazing, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely must visit in Buffalo.

This is the worst Indian restaurant I've ever been to. It's shocking that it would get so highly rated, it really shows what a lack of an Indian community there is in Buffalo and how the people there don't know the difference between good and bad Indian food, or restaurants in general.
The only good thing I got in this restaurant was the appetizer platter. The rest of what I have to say is the longest list of complaints I've ever had about a restaurant:
-The food was extremely bland, Indian food is supposed to be literally the most flavorful cuisine in the world and this

Excellent authentic Indian food at affordable prices!! Our favorite in the Buffalo area! The restaurant is newly renovated, very cosy. They offer dining and take out, they've been very conscientious of COVID restrictions. I believe the staff was reduced due to the pandemic, and hopefully it will pick up more.

Was craving Indian cuisine and India Gate has some of the best. I brought a couple of my friends for their first time this past Saturday. It was a very quiet evening but the service always seems to be on the slower side, so keep that in mind if you stop in on a tight schedule. I ended up ordering a chicken and mushroom entree while my friends shared a lamb curry dish (they are brave and ordered it spicy) . Ordering naan is a given and the garlic naan is your best bet, it is super flavorful. Check in on Yelp and get a free glass of wine (we chose a Riesling) . Our food came out after 30 or so minutes

The food is always delicious and Jaspul is a great owner who really cares about his cistomer base. This Christmas was hard for me because I lost my dad right before Christmas. I was so grateful that they were open for dinner that night. I almost cried when I picked up the food. Thank you for bringing a little bit of joy to me on a dark day.

Grabbed some takeout from here yesterday! Is it just me or have the portions gotten larger? I grabbed a chana masala, chicken tikka masala and a vegetable samosa (two to an order). I love how much rice they give you with each order and that the rice doesn't clump together. I don't know if it's the oil they put in there or what, but it's just perfect.
The pickup and ordering process was seamless and the food tasted amazing. Thanks so much, India Gate! Hope you weather the pandemic!

Here are a couple reasons I would never eat here again, and maybe why you should consider another one of Buffalo's many Indian options.
First of all I was shocked to see the owner walking around the restaurant, shouting instructions, interacting with customers- but no mask in sight. Even though there's a sign on the door requiring customers to wear masks. I'm a senior, am being treated for cancer, and will not eat in a restaurant. I was here for take-out, but I still had the owner in my face, at the register, talking loudly to his employees, but with no mask. How arrogant, and utterly

Amazing Indian food and super vegan friendly. They have a separate vegetarian menu and tofu dishes menu and are very knowledgeable about what can be made vegan using coconut milk/cream. We had the tofu masala and it was so incredibly creamy and delicious. We also got paratha and roti bread and they just made it with no butter on it (bread itself does not contain dairy). Samosas were perfect, really everything was!
Portions were HUGE and they were super generous with the rice (in my photo that is the rice for 2 entrees together in one container). Will definitely be back and highly recommend to

I was disappointed with the box lunch I got yesterday. On Tuesday, May 5, India Gate advertised on Facebook: India Gate Featuring New Entrée Paneer Makmali. It will come in tomorrow's Lunch Box order online...along with the photo below of the Paneer Makmali. It was supposed to be the entrée. I didn't think to take a photo of what I received for my twelve bucks, maybe because I was in mild state of disbelief and disappointment, but grabbed the rinsed out takeout box for illustration. Rice was not supposed to be the entrée, but it was what filled the largest space. The reddish

One of my absolute favorite places to come and eat, with a very Zen like atmosphere. The food and staff are always phenomenally awesome.
I came here for their lunch buffet and what a great variety of vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and carnivorous options! The smells are enough to send you into a flavor frenzy, but once you taste the food your mouth and belly will thank you.
I'm not going to try and name all the wonderful things I ate, but just know they were DELICIOUS! When you first sit down you have the option to pluck from regular naan or their garlic naan ...go garlic! Their samosas

The food was good and plentiful. A little more mild than most Indian food I've had, but still tasty. The paneer chili was good, a little on the sweeter side. They India gate special had a ton of food, would be more than enough for two people and comes with a few pieces of each meat. The overall place is very nice and inviting, you wouldn't know it from the outside because they have curtains up. I will probably stop back and try their lunch buffet.

When you skip breakfast, you might find yourself at an Indian lunch buffet pigging out later in the day. That's what happened to us. The decision to have Indian food for lunch was fast and spontaneous. The price $11.95 was alright. We were seated in the corner booth under a big television. It didn't bother me because the sound was off and I had good view of my partner and the whole restaurant. Generally the ambience was nice and romantic. The food also warmed me up although there weren't any particularly spicy dishes. It was rather all about my company and spices I suppose.

This is my favorite restaurant. The food is amazing, the buffet offers plenty of choices, and the price is very fair. Many of my friends are hesitant to try Indian food, but once they do, they'll be sure to come back again and again
EDIT- They have been closed for a few months because of a fire, but now they're back open. They're as delicious as ever and the dining room looks better than ever. I'm thrilled!

This was my first time visiting India Gate! It was definitely a great decision. The restaurant was clean and orderly. We were seated immediately with a reservation for 10. The smell in the place was heavenly. The food was so dope! I opted for a menu item rather than the buffet, but I kind of regretted it. The buffet was filled with very quality food. I ordered the Chicken Makhani and it came with basmati rice. When our table was finished, I was thinking of asking for more rice since the proportion of how much I ate was off. The waitress automatically brought more rice for my leftovers. This was
