    Despite this restaurant is bit hidden and away from the center , food was decent , staff was friendly , owners were attentive and interacting with customers . Only issue was , I found all dishes they put too much oil . We tried lamb curry , mixed veg curry & channa masala , naan .. apart from oil issue , taste was good

    So I only have 1 photo to show because I forgot to take more. The reason was that once we started eating I forgot about the pics. Very friendly service. Gave us good advice when we ordered ( we wanted to order more but was not necessary) and it was quick. Everything was good. It was plenty of food - can’t really fault them. It’s always a worry when eating asian food in Europe ( learned the hard way ) but this place was authentic. So if you need a break from cod- tapas - potatoes and sardines : go for it. Won’t disappoint!

    Great curry! One of the best Indian restaurants in Lisbon, small and cute restaurant with chill atmosphere. The owner was really chill and the place is well decorated. I will come back

    By far my favorite Indian restaurant in Lisbon! The staff is always so nice and the service is super fast. I also really enjoy the ambiance of the place. Regarding food, everything I have tasted here is incredible but I have to recommend the samosas and the paneer tikka massala. The naan is also delicious. This is one of the few places that I can actually drink the mango lassi as it is never too sweet If you're looking for authentic Indian food in the heart of Lisbon, give this place a try and you won't be disappointed

    We were walking by in the afternoon and took a picture (we knew if we didn’t we would not find it again) and so glad we did. The whole experience was fantastic. The lamb curry was excellent. Excellent.

    Just arrived in Lisbon, staying in the Alcama area, and decided to try India Gate for a nice change. Great food and perfect service. For starters we ordered the Onion Bhaji, which were very good with the dipping sauces. I ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala with Basmati Rice and plain Naan. Wow, the dish was very flavorful. Loved my food. The spice level was just right for me. My partner ordered the Paneer Saag and really enjoyed his dish. Great Indian food and the service was perfect.

    The food is delicious and the portions are generous. The service is very fast and polite. The place is quiet and pleasant to sit. Good to host small groups, couples, and solo travelers. The prices are a bit high.

    The restaurant is nice. The staff is also friendly. I don't like it when the rice is not included in the menu, but it happens. The overall is nice and good experience. Samossa was cheap and tasty.

    Wonderful family owned Indian restaurant who are native in Portuguese and English. Our family has been coming here for years and every time they serve us with top notch service and top quality dishes. Samosas are perfectly fried with such flavorful filling and their curries have the perfect blend of spices - and as we love spicy food, they are not shy on adding additional kick of spiciness to our dishes. And of course, the naan has the perfect texture! Always looking forward to coming back here again!

    We had dinner twice (in our 5 days visit in Lisbon) in this restaurant and we loved it each time. The food is simply amazing. The staff is very polite and friendly and the place itself is very cozy.

    This is the best Indian restaurant in town without a doubt. The owner is extremely courteous, the food comes at record speed, the green mint chutney is a must try. We came with kids and had the best time ever for the lunch. Great place at a great location. P.S: Check out the toilets even if you don't have to go. I promise that you would be surprised with the decor.

    Arrived about 9:40 pm Thu/18 Aug. I asked if they closed 10 pm but they said the kitchen does so they can seat me :) Fantastic everything: lamb dish, naan, beverages, service, decore, ambience. So glad i happened to come across them.

    One of the best Indian restaurants in Lisbon. food quality and taste was amazing! Service and ambience was perfect. We were very happy to find the restaurant during our Lisbon trip with good vegetarian options. It's a hidden gem since it's not easy to find the restaurant! They also served special kulfi in the end with incredible taste!

    Samosas were brilliant! Best I've ever had, tasted nice and plenty of filling! Very nice curries, one portion of rice was plenty for 2 people as we ordered nann bread as well which was excellent - nice thick bread. Cannot fault, service was very good as well. Definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back again!! Best Indian in Lisbon.

    India Gate is a wonderful, authentic local Lisbon restaurant which has been in existence for 2 generations. What I appreciated while traveling is the prices are very reasonable, but the food quality and taste is among if not THE beat Indian food I have eaten.

    If I could give Restaurant India Gate 50 stars, I would. This is definitely THE BEST Indian restaurant we've ever had the pleasure to dine at. The staff and the owner Haymond was extremely service minded, caring and attentive. The food was beyond anything we had ever tried before. The flavor of everything we ordered was incredible. I highly recommend visiting this treasure of a restaurant, in the heart of Lisbon ! :)

    One of the most amazing Indian restaurants in Lisbon. Great location right in city center. Customer service very friendly. We recommend the chicken samosa and the curry’s are very tasty. Great value. And … for a final …. The best bebinca ever !

    Das Essen war sehr lecker, sowohl die Vorspeisen, als auch die Hauptspeise waren schön angerichtet. Die Bedienung war ebenfalls sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Das Lokal ist in einer Nebenstraße nah zum Meer. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Meiner asiatischen Frau war das Essen nicht scharf genug. Wer es gerne schärfer mag sollte hier bei der Bestellung noch einmal ausdrücklich drauf hinweisen.
