The food here is incredible! And if you're looking for the friendliest, most welcoming staff around, this is the place to be. The chicken khorma and Gobi Manchurian were both outstanding; I HIGHLY recommend them! On top of the great flavors, the restaurant is spotless and has a fantastic atmosphere. read more

The lunch buffet is back. Seemed like a pretty good spread, but the flavors were mild. Loved how they brought around fresh Naan, and didn't put out too much tandoori chicken at one time so it stayed fresh. read more

I stopped in here for lunch after a car appointment at the dealership next door and it was very convenient and well-priced for the buffet. I had a bit of everything and really appreciated that they had a chicken biryani which I rarely see offered as a part of buffets. The curries were fairly average (butter chicken, saag, etc.) and mild but they weren't oily which is always nice. I also really liked that the waiter brought fresh naan to tables as it came out and in general, service was excellent. Overall, I would come back for the lunch buffet next time I have a service appointment, but wouldn't go out of my way to order off the dinner menu. read more

I had a nice quiet lunch on a Monday and the Chicken Tikka Masala at max heat was the perfect way to warm up. Even with a 6/6 slice, the flavor was fantastic and the naan and lassi worked perfectly with it. The waiter was nice and was attentive without checking in too often. I highly recommend coming here for a good weekday meal! read more

I have been going here for over 20 years, and it's still one of my all time favorite places to consistently get really delicious Indian! This is actually the place where I first tried and fell in love with Indian cuisine. My favorite dishes here include the paneer tikka masala, malai kofta, and recently I've also been really enjoying their shahi paneer. Their naan is top notch, and they make the best raita I've ever had. Seriously, it's liquid gold! I always order 3 tubs of raita when we get takeout here and it's usually gone within a day or two, it's that good! The staff is always super friendly and welcoming too. If you are craving Indian and are in the area you don't want to miss this spot! read more

I've been here twice and both times were excellent. Service is fast and friendly, and the food is delicious. Gluten free options are clearly marked on the menu. read more

The food is good and the waiter was attentive. The ambiance was nice and cozy. I would definitely recommend coming here!

Nice little Indian restaurant in Bellevue with friendly service! We came in for Friday dinner, and it wasn't too busy. We were a larger group, so we ordered 6 different curries and a bunch of garlic naan. It took around 30 minutes? For us to get our food, which wasn't ideal. Maybe it was because of the larger order? The curries are supposed to come with rice, but our server seemed to have forgotten about it. We had to ask for rice after about 10 minutes. The food itself was not bad. The garlic naan was okay, which is difficult bc I'd imagine it's hard to mess up naan. The curries themselves were not bad as well. We got level 2 spice which was perfect for us as it was still a bit spicy but not unbearably. Overall, this was okay! read more

This is the best Indian restaurant I've been to. There are many great vegetarian options! My favorites are the Paneer Masala and Dal Tarka. The Greek Salad is also really good! I've actually only eaten inside one time, all the other times have been takeout, but it's cute and intimate inside and the service was great, also! read more

Was a decent Indian place. Not the best I've had but is up there. I always get Chicken Tikka Masala. It wasn't bad.

Been coming here for years -- decades. Have been our favorite Indian restaurant in the past. But, in the past couple of visits, their dishes have gone downhill. My favorite, tandoori chicken, not too tasty. We ordered garlic mushroom which I found to be totally without taste, though, my wife found it OK. Just not the outstanding Indian restaurant. Well will try others. read more

Came here to order lunch to go. We came in and were greeted and given menus. I chose the saag paneer which comes with rice, vegetable pakora, and roti. The saag paneer was super tasty and I got it at a level 5 and it was perfectly spicy for my taste. The rice was well seasoned. The vegetable pakora was crunchy and still soft on the inside. The roti was soft and so tender, it was ready to rip. Overall, we had 3 orders and they brought it out pretty quick. I can't wait to try the lunch buffet next. read more

Best Indian food around. The service is always fast, cared for like royalty. Highly recommend.

Hair found in rice... This is the second time I've found something unpleasant in my food. I won't be returning here for future business. While the flavors are good and price is good, mistakes like this are unacceptable and very easily avoidable. read more

The food was delicious - we ordered lamb samosas, plain and garlic naan, tandoori chicken, lamb korma, coconut chicken curry, and paneer saag with mango lassi and tea. Warm welcome and service was prompt and pleasant. The restaurant was clean and had an inviting ambience. If you are in Bellevue, stop in. Phyllis S read more

COVID-19 edition. First time trying their food. This place is a restaurant with a dining area, but currently only offering to-go. I used their online ordering system from their website and it was easy to use. You can choose between delivery or pickup. They're currently offering $5off your order when you use their given code at checkout (until 11/30). Garlic Naan - Naan with garlic and spices $4.95. Had I known it's only 2 big pieces, I would've placed a 2nd order. Delicious naan, the garlic flavor wasn't overpowering. I'd order this again. Chicken Tikka Masala - Chicken breast in a tomato butter sauce. $16.95. Chicken Tikka Masala is our favorite when we have Indian food. This one was just as good as the others we've had at other Indian restaurant. Only difference was they used chicken breast. I think at the other places, they serve it with dark meat. Sauce was very tasty! Aloo Gobi - Cauliflower and potatoes cooked with herbs and spices. $15.75. This was a pleasant surprise. I made a mistake on the order -- I thought i was ordering Gobi Pakora. But this dish was good and I would order it again. Lamb Vindaloo - Lamb and potatoes in a spicy curry. $17.75 It was good. My husband thought it wasn't as spicy as what he expected vindaloo to be. The spice level was just right for me. Chicken Biryani - Saffron flavored basmati rice with spiced chicken $16.95. Chicken was cut in big pieces, so it seems the meat to rice ratio was off (not enough meat). I would've preferred the chicken pieces smaller. This rice dish was tasty, but I've had better biryani at other places. I ordered this dish thinking we need a rice dish. I didn't know that the other orders came with basmati rice! So we had 2 containers filled with basmati rice! Good to know for next time! Prawn Saag - Prawns cooked in creamed spinach $18.50. Another tasty dish! I think out of all the dishes we ordered, this was the most spicy. When ordering online, you do get a chance to add comments. I've noted mild spice on each item. Mango Lassi - mango yogurt drink. $4.95. The sweetness of this drink counterbalance the spiciness of the dishes. I'm glad we tried this place. Definitely going back. read more

We needed a break from the busy life of adulting so our normal order is two butter chicken and one masala with garlic nan... was such a good treat. This was the second best place within 20 to 25 miles of our house but they place in bellevue got bulldozed so best Indian food in Bellevue east side right here. The staff are attentive, always busy, grabbing order and the food is consistent so you know somebody here knows how to run a kitchen. Can't really think of having a bad meal here once in goin on seven years. Then done get me started on how good it is to have the butter chicken in the fridge overnight as a snack next day or leftovers. Awesome 6 stars!!! read more

We decided to eat at the restaurant. The service is excellent, everyone is very attentive and helpful. The food was okay, with a mix of hits and misses. With eating here on the weekday, there was few other people eating here, most were coming in for takeout. Eggplant Bharta- in two spoonfuls, found 8 black pepper corns, and quite a high amount of peas. There was also a thick layer of oil covering the dish. Would have preferred more eggplant present throughout the dish. Samosa- lots of chili flakes in the filling and pretty spicy. The outer pastry had a nice crunch. Tikka Masala- pretty classic dish, ordered at a 3 level spice but it was fairly mild. Note: The lamb imparts a very strong taste in the saag. read more

One of the best go to Indian restaurant in the area we have been go their for years. The food and service always excellent and consistent. We almost always get their fresh non, vegetable samosa, Aloogabi and chicken Vendaloo. Don't forget the Chi tea too. read more

Was the only one in for dinner service a few weeks ago. Servers were very friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic. Ordered the Aloo Gobi and keema kulcha. I think they accidentally brought me the onion kulcha instead- which was still delicious. Giant pieces of potatoes and cauliflower, no little cubes. Rice was beautifully spiced - fragrent, well cooked. read more

We've ordered take out from India Gate multiple times over the last year or two. They are very consistent. A few days ago we ordered the Aloo Gobi, Saag Paneer, Lamb Tikka Masala, Garlic naan and Onion naan. The Saag Paneer is always delicious, and the Lamb is always nicely cooked and not chewy. Really good flavor and thickness to the tikka masala sauce, too. The naan's were good but nothing particularly special. While we went with mild spiciness this time, we've tried various spice levels and they're pretty accurate; the vindaloo dishes with max spiciness is very spicy but not quite as spicy as some places. India Gate will continue to be a go-to for us for Indian take-out. read more

great little hole in the wall style curry place. it's on My weekly lunch rotation nowadays

They have really exceptional Indian food. The family run business is friendly and considerate. They added a complimentary rice pudding on a take order for no apparent reason. My favorite is the Saag Paneer with garlic naan but every dish I've had is very tasty. read more

Between Redmond and Bellevue, one has hundreds of Indian and Pakistani restaurants to choose. This place specializes in North Indian cooking, which was its selling point for me. I grew up with my mom, aunties, and Nani cooking this type of regional cuisine regularly, and I had high expectations. I have only done take out from this place, and my orders are always prepared perfectly and delivered on time. Furthermore, I appreciate extra care is given to Saran Wrap the containers so nothing spills. We've ordered quite a few dishes from here over the last six months. Our favorites are the butter chicken, the chicken curry, chicken biryani, chili chicken, saag paneer, navrattan korma, okra masala, and vegetable masala. The spice profile is amazing, and I love that each dish has a distinct flavor. We appreciate that dishes are labeled gluten free on the menu, and the cooks take it seriously. We also love that the rice is cooked perfectly, and it's never mushy or sticky. The reason this place only gets 4 is due to the fact some dishes are a bit disappointing. The eggplant bharta and aloo gobi very mushy and greasy. We've also discovered that anything fried doesn't do well. We've tried the onion bhaji and the vegetable and paneer pakoras, and we were let down. We love the food here. While a few dishes have been a miss, a majority of what we order is amazing!! read more

I think I need to try again and see what I get. Reviews of this place are, um, all over the place, and my impression of the food was too. I did delivery and it arrived hot and looked great. The papadums were dry (not oily) and wonderfully crisp. The cod and potatoes in the Fish Vindaloo were cooked to perfection, but other than the outer coating of sauce didn't have any seasoning, and the vindaloo had zero spice. The cumin rice was excellent. Fluffy, wonderful light flavor. The Gobi (cauliflower) Manchurian was over cooked, but had more spice to it than the vindaloo. Uber Eats did not give me an indication that I could request a spice level, so maybe I will try that in the comments next time. Other reviews say there is a scale you can use. All over the place. read more

I ordered takeout from here so I can't speak to the service or restaurant atmosphere, but the food was delicious! I ordered the vegetable jalfrazi which had just the right amount of spice and flavor. The portion was large and I was able to eat it in three portions. I also ordered naan and it was fluffy, light and well-cooked. Prices were pretty standard for the east side. I'll definitely order food from here again! read more

So far, this is the best indian food I've ever had. Their butter chicken and tikka masala with mild spicy is really excellent. The meat is extremely tender. The curry's taste is authentic indian curry. Also, it comes with their rice, the best yet I've ever tried! It has some spice, not sure what is it but it's not the usual rice that every curry comes with. It has something special with it, very wow. Also, the first time we got it, they were delayed. But, they gave us extra sauce and rice. How great the service is that? Excellent!! read more

Love this restaurant. Absolutely love it. They have a sweeter coconut and cherry naan that they offer and it is AMAZING with the savory food. read more

I went in person to talk with them to see what they would recommend since this was our first time going. Here are recommendations: Got the chicken tika masala, Tandoori Chicken, garlic naan with no cilantro, chan masala (veg), aloo gobi, and Lamb Sang. Normally I would get a naan with cilantro but my wife doesn't like cilantro. Also I love biryani but the rice comes as a side dish already with the tika masala and Tandoori Chicken. Just had to wait 25 minutes on a Monday night. I would recommend ordering ahead of time online or over the phone. Total came out to be around $80 after tip. We ordered a lot on purpose so we could have leftovers to heat up in the microwave. Definitely our new favorite Indian restaurant in the area. read more

The food was good, which is why they get 4 stars. But the service was terrible. We were the first to arrive, but the last to get our food. The Butter Chicken was good. The Naan was buttered in one small corner, not all over like I would expect. All in all, my experience here was definitely sub par. read more

The food is great. We've only done takeout and the woman who always takes our orders is very helpful and doesn't mind explaining how dishes differ. We love the butter chicken and naan. I was ordering food for a small gathering and the employee/owner told me I was ordering more than I needed. She was right. I know it's tough right now for the restaurant business post Covid but I'm glad there are honest people serving good food and don't push you to order more than you need. If the restaurant can find a way to make the insides of the samosas less dry then this place would be rocking 5 stars. read more
