I would have given zero. The quantity were so small small, it can be a record. Their dish size is just small bowl (one third of regular size compared to typical Indian rest, qtr of generous size) with 17-18$ each dish, typically Indian household serves 3 to 4 dishes of this size to each person. Not sure if I were served from the leftover of regular thali dishes, $80 for 3 ppl?? Taste is east indian style, home made style, no complain in that sense, but it is just we normally have in a regular day at home. If u don’t want to waste your money don’t go. I dont normally make negative reviews but this time I must.. sorry India gate, i felt ripped off..

They showed a BAD IMAGE of India Gate which was SO DISAPPOINTING as an Indian. The ambience was DARK and dirty, carpet ugly, including the restroom. The quantity of the food was LESS compared to the price. After giving a sufficient tip, they straught way demanded for MORE TIPS!!! Indians visiting Washington DC, DO NOT EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT. Instead take the metro to Woodley Park and just on the opposite side, the best authentic Indian Cuisine is available there.

Do not eat here. Worst indian food i ever ate. Too much costly for the quantity. May be this is reason, there are no customers. Zero star is the appropriate rating here. Same person is the waiter, same person is cook.

India Gate is a hidden gem off DuPont Circle. Family run, the service is friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the food is delicious and well-portioned — we ordered Korma and Vindaloo and were very happy. My mango lassi was freshly puréed (so good!) and they have a full bar, which was great for my husband (who had a 22oz Taj Mahal lager). Will definitely return when we’re back in town.

DO NOT EAT HERE. This is the worst Indian food I have ever ordered – possibly the worst food I have ever been served. Went to pick up the food when they said it would be ready and it wasn’t ready until about 45 min later. AND the restaurant was completely empty. We also received a suspicious call from the restaurant asking if we could confirm the credit card number when we had already paid online. The owner then told us we did not leave a big enough tip and made us walk to an atm to take out cash. When we finally got the food it was all terrible. Two chicken dishes, saag paneer, and garlic naan. We ordered 3 garlic naans and received three tiny pieces that were not garlic. The food was watery, flavorless, and disgusting. We ordered the food spicy and it was sweet. Hoping we don’t get food poisoning. Couldn’t eat much of it at all and had to order from somewhere else. On top of all this it was relatively expensive. Listen to all the reviews and don’t order here! Starting to think this restaurant is a front for something else.

Our group went there to eat and person who were serving was a cook and also a server. He gave us low quality food with no quality. Food is also so expensive , but server was trying to fool us by saying no complimentary rice with veg item and non veg item.

As a desi, this is such a disappointment. I’ve never had worse Indian food in my life. It pains me to say this as someone who wants to support small businesses but you’re better off going to Trader Joe’s and heating up a frozen butter chicken. At least you’ll get rice with your order. Way too expensive for what you get.

We stopped in on a quiet Sunday a few weeks ago and the couple that own the restaurant helped us pick a few dishes and we enjoyed it very much! Hospitable owners with great food.

Flavors were on point. Reasonably priced. Was wondering why it was empty. Can’t believe ppl are giving this place low stars based on the buffet. Order off the menu and stop being cheap. Service was face and pleasant.

Worst food I had ever pushed in. I ordered for butter naan… Instead I got plain naan .. and was not even a naan.. was like paapad. And bhindi masala was like bhindi jhool. Maybe in house u can have little better food but guys NEVER ever order online. Sorry. But disappointed.
