Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Visiting Belfast for a few days and staying locally we visited India Gate on a Saturday night, with my wife and daughter (11yo). We ordered starters and main courses and the food was excellent, with a large menus choice. Service was very attentive even though...the restaurant was very busy. Would recommend for a good curry in Belfast.More

I visited India Gate restaurant with my wife a couple of weeks ago while on vacation. We received good service the first day, so the next day we returned for dinner. Unfortunately, the staff were very rude and started to make fun of us by...laughing among themselves as we ordered only starters and not the main course, but we ordered food for more than 30 pounds according to their instructions. On request, the staff refused to serve tap water, saying it was not drinkable. This was a bad experience for us during our trip to Ireland.More

We visited the restaurant while our stay in Belfast. A nice big restaurant that can have better decor. The food was good but not the best compared to others in the area . Service was slow as well. When we were taken to be seated...the people in the table next to us had their bags all over our seat and had to be asked to be moved. That should have been done at the beginning. They should not have their dirty bags in our seat. Then when we finally sat down the one person in the table next to us had her shoes off and was sitting with one foot crossed legged towards us . That threw out appetite. We did not want to make a scene of that so are quickly and left . This should be monitored by the staff and fixed. Overall a restaurant with good potential but not there yet. The platter had huge pieces of chicken . Smaller pieces will Make it appetizing . The taste was good . Good options on the menu.More

We chose India Gate for our first dinner in Belfast based on reviews and proximity to our hotel. We were not disappointed. It is a large restaurant in an inviting space. We began by sharing a mixed vegetable starter (£ 5.5) which was very good....I thought my chicken Buhna (£ 17.95, including jasmine rice, pilau rice or naan) was excellent—moderately spicy and wonderfully prepared. My partner found his chicken tikka masala (£ 18.95) to be surprisingly sweet (but our waiter had warned of the sweetness) but it was still good. Since we ordered rice with our entrees, an order for tasty naan was £ 3.25. Service was excellent; I especially appreciated our waiter’s ability to explain the differences among the items on the extensive menu. The only annoyance: the prices on the restaurant’s online menu are seriously out of date (£ 4+ less) which is inexcusable. We’re into return to Belfast, I’d welcome a return visit to this solid restaurant choice.More

I recently visited India Gate with some friends and really enjoyed it. One who is from India said this restaurant is the most similar choice in Belfast to food he has eaten back home 🥘 I had Samosas for starters and tried Manchuriam, both were...delicious and came out piping hot. For mains, we had chicken korma and chicken tikka masala with rice and naan bread - they were absolutely lovely and not spicy at all which was what I wanted. There are 4 spice levels to choose from however and lots of choices in each category. The menu had a description of every dish which I found helpful. For dessert, I had ice cream which was lovely and tasted nutty. Overall the restaurant had friendly staff, well spaced tables and calming Indian music playing. We stuck to water, but India Gate had an extensive wine/drinks menu. I would definitely come back 😊More
