India Gate Restaurant

“The service was impeccable and so was the food. It is authentic Indian food and I recommend everyone in Erbil to come taste their wonderful Indian food. The atmosphere as well as the vibes with the music are spot on.”

“Great chicken tikka masala and dal todka! I want to go here every time I come to town! The flavor was delicious, and they prepared a masala without cream to be dairy free for us. A very kind woman served us. Really good Indian food!!”

“Great food, atmospheric India, excellent service (and Say'ed Anwar is a star!)”

We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at this restaurant in Erbil. We ordered Mutton Biryani, Butter Chicken, Garlic Butter Naan, and Dal Makhani, and every single dish was outstanding. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. The mutton biryani was aromatic and cooked to perfection, while the butter chicken was creamy, flavorful, and one of the best we have ever tasted. The garlic butter naan was fresh, soft, and paired beautifully with the dishes. The dal makhani was also incredibly delicious, with a rich and comforting taste. As a lovely surprise, we were offered a complimentary Gulab Jamun for dessert. It was soft, sweet, and a perfect ending to an amazing meal. What made our visit even more special was the owner. He was very kind, welcoming, and genuinely cared about our experience. His hospitality made us feel at home from the moment we arrived until we left. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a pleasant atmosphere. It is clear that great

It was an amazing experience! We ordered the Mutton Biryani, Butter Chicken, Garlic Butter Naan, and Dal Makhani, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The food is served on traditional plates, which adds to the authentic atmosphere. When we arrived, I asked if they could play some Indian music to create a more authentic Indian ambiance, and they kindly did so. It made the evening even more enjoyable. The spices were perfectly balanced, making the food flavorful without feeling heavy on my stomach. From the very first bite, I felt like I was in heaven! Erbil is truly lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant. We would happily come back to Erbil just to eat here again. The owner was also incredibly kind and welcoming. We had a great conversation with him, and he generously treated us to soup and a traditional dessert called Gulab Jamun. Thank you for such a memorable dining experience. We look forward to visiting again!

Awesome awesome awesome , From location to ambiance to staff to owner to food, everything pure and authentic Indian. Specially Mr Azeem the owner of India gate restaurant, he was so gracious and helpful, I brought so much food from India thinking that i will not find good food at Erbil, but I was wrong, I found super food here which gave me homely feeling , as I am pure vegetarian, the very first day when I visited india gate, the chef was having day off, but Mr Azeem insisted me and told me to wait few min and you can’t believe the cashier made me mind blowing palak paneer and fulka roti , omg I will never forget the taste . All over 5 stars.
