Gateway to India in Springfield is a great place to visit for delicious Indian food. It’s conveniently located near Masala Mart, an Indian grocery store, and the ambience is nice compared to other Indian restaurants I have tried.

This is a great buffet. Warm, plentiful but more importantly they had dishes I’d not seen on a buffet before and we go to a lot of Indian buffets where available. Price was about 14 pp. I’m leaving Springfield otherwise we’d be back. Food was wonderful and plates removed quickly. Only criticism..a little fruit would be nice..for diabetics.

Great dining experience and lunch buffet! They have many vegan options and are very helpful with pointing out what options on the menu or buffet are free of animal products. We’ve had a couple of vegan food meetups at Gateway to India and they never disappoint.

There was three of us, but we got two entrees with an appetizer and naan. That was enough for us. Food is very flavorful. I would definitely recommend

All you can eat for only 12.99$ is a very good deal, especially when the indian themed food are exceptional. The staff was very friendly and the venue was very well kept. It’s a hidden gem, in my opinion.

I’ve picked up to go and tried the buffet. I’ve ordered lamb biriyani, paneer Korma, chilli paneer(appetizer), naan, all to go.. these were great! Even reheated was good, the portions are big. My friend and I went to the buffet and it had a wide selection, I couldn’t even try it all. Staff is sweet and friendly. I highly recommend checking it out, definitely a new favorite spot for me.
