Stopped in and had a solid experience overall. Everything came out fresh and piping hot, and…read moreservice was friendly and efficient. The dining room was pretty quiet, which makes me think this spot does a lot of takeout. We ordered the butter chicken, tikka masala, and both the garlic and cheese naan. The curries were flavorful and satisfying. The only miss was the naan , it was difficult to tell the difference between the garlic and cheese since there was very little cheese and very thin.. Still a good option if you're craving Indian food, especially for takeout.

It's a small place, but we had made reservations. The owner has been in business for over 20 years in University Place. We shared garlic naan, chicken curry, butter chicken, saag paneer, some good Indian beer - and to top it off I brought some Kheer home. Everything was freshly made and so delicious! I love Indian food so it's really happy. We gave this place a try. My dad is still raving about his masala shrimp dish. Highly recommend!

I picked up a large order for my office and arrived a few minutes earlier than what they quoted over the phone, so I got the chance to speak with one of the owners, who was overseeing operations. He and his wife are so kind and welcoming, making sure I had a great experience. Their son runs the operations and has a wonderful system for door-dash and traditional pickup. They are BUSY but you would not be able to tell because they are so efficient at getting orders out the door. If you want delicious Indian food and an inexpensive meal - check them out!

This was a very disappointing meal. The most lackluster chicken tikka masala I've ever had…read more The people working there were super nice and the naan was good but that's it. I got the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan and mango lemonade. I went in to wait for my food since they are carry out only. I could hear the naan being smacked with what sounded like bare hands and when I tried to peak into the kitchen window I was told to take a seat. During my wait, one of the workers was swatting flies on the counter by the desserts and wiping the dead fly onto the floor I got my food and as I got back into the car noticed their "okay" health inspection rating on the window lol. The mango lemonade was a shame. No flavor. It didn't taste like mango or lemon so it was just weird. I Ended up getting a lemonade from chick fil a. The tikka masala was weird too. It tasted like honey tomato sauce. It was super sweet. No robust flavors or aromatics, no traditional Indian spices etc. The chicken was definitely cooked separately from the sauce bc the chicken had a roasted flavor to it. It was super tender which was nice but I was baffled by the lack of flavor. I have made more robust chicken tikka masala from a seasoning packet from Safeway. The naan was great. Tasty and a perfect balance of salt and chewy texture. I ate my naan but threw the rest of my food away. Safe to say I won't be back.

This is one of my favorite Indian places after having tried other places in Kent, Auburn and…read moreFederal Way areas. We ordered a samosas, sag paneer, butter lamb 7*, tandoori chicken with a side of garlic naan. All dishes were exceptional and very flavorful. They also did not skimp out on protein as I've noticed other places have. The only complaint we have is we were two people seated at a small table and we ordered a lot so our table was pretty crowded. Our waitress did not take away our dishes even when we had cleared them out so the service was a little weird.

I busted a U-turn as it had me intrigued with the open flag signs and noticed there were food trucks and knew this place was new. You can easily miss the entrance if you aren't paying attention. LOL! There are two entrances to the parking lot. It is fairly small. There are two food trucks and 1 coffee/tea tiny truck: 1) Little India Puyallup 2) Backyard Pizza & Burgers 3) Mocha Stop Upon talking with the owners, they had stated they had just opened approximately 2-3 weeks ago. They have outdoor dining in the rear section of the food trucks. Canopies/Umbrellas covered the dining tables. A red tractor is in the outdoor space which allows the kids to play on while waiting or after eating. Outdoor space is clean and a relaxing vibe. I opted to eat Indian food on my first visit and would like to return to try the Backyard pizza and burgers. I ordered the butter chicken which comes with basmati rice $14.95. Ordered two garlic naan bread $3.95 and mango lassi $4.95. My food was served to me at my table. It was truly delicious and tasty. I really enjoyed eating outdoors that early evening. It was still warm and sunny. Service was excellent! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I plan to return again. =))

It's been a really long time since I have been to Gateway To India again and Steve and I made a…read morereturn after many years after getting together for a group outing with some folks which prompted me to do an update. My attitude towards Gateway slowly grew more positive after seeing them at farmer's markets and getting their Indian Tacos. Wow I still think about those and as the weather is slowly getting warmer the farmer's markets will return and I can get a hold of those again. In case you are confused what exactly is a taco at the market version of Gateway it's a kabob type chicken put in a naan bread and you can make it a spicy as you want along with a nice dash of veggies. After having so many great experiences with those we considered going back to the restaurant itself and we did when a group socializing opportunity arose. We got the (Jalapeno) Mirichi Naan which we picked off of the menu and before making that decision we realized we never had naan before with jalapenos in it so we seized the opportunity to try it. It did not disappoint at all and was so, so good. Being able to smell the aroma of the peppers coming off of the bread made us drool and devour it all all the while enduring the heat. After that I got the Saag Aloo to share with Steve. I haven't had Saag in so long and I usually get Vindaloo when it comes to Indian restaurants but this time I was wanting a change of pace. I got the Saag Aloo which is a spinach and potato dish along with onion, tomatoes and ground spices. I got a medium heat (three stars I think) and it was perfect. So delicious! Steve got the Daal Maharani which was a mixed lentil dish. It was very good as well... but I still liked my Saag the best. To drink we got the Rocket Beer which was an Indian beer which I must add they have a nice selection of Indian beers here so that was very noteworthy and well worth remembering. For dessert we split some Ginger Ice Cream and it was great! It was strongly ginger forward as one would expect but the creaminess of the ice cream kept it more tempered and it was just lovely! With our large group... I am not sure if Gateway is used to handling large parties. Service was always, always friendly and was great in that regard but it was fairly slow, some parts of people's orders were forgotten ( like Steve's Daal dish) and when our large party tried to pay a whole bunch of separate bills not everyone got one so we had to talk to the the person ringing us all up on what we ordered to cash out. Despite that part of the service being uneven we will certainly be back sooner rather than later as we really enjoyed the food a great deal on our return visit ( second visit total).

As far as the food goes, 5 stars all the way. I have been enjoying the food here for over 25 years…read more The flavors are fantastic, spice level to suit anyone's pallet, great variety of both vegetarian and meat options. The lunch buffet is a great way to try multiple items and expand your love for the food. There isn't a single thing on the menu that I do not enjoy. (Try the goat. It sounds a bit adventurous, but the flavor is a 10!) Aside from that, I've become disappointed over the years in the shrinking portions, removal of some of the extras that used to come with the meals and now the addition of a 15% "gratuity" that goes to the restaurant and not the staff while also being prompted to tip another 15% or more. I myself work in the industry and understand rising costs which is why we as consumers see price increases. I however do not agree with adding a blanket fee for restaurant costs to all of your orders. That should be built into the increased prices. Even though this is one of my absolute favorite things to treat myself to, I unfortunately have cut back on the frequency that I order because of these things.
