We are new to the area and this was our first time here. It was a truly delicious meal. The samosas were crispy in the outside and the filling had a good amount of curry. More than we’re used to and we liked them vetted than what we are used to. The rice and naan were perfectly cooked and everything tasted very fresh. The inly downside for us was that their chicken tikka masala was considerably sweeter than any other we’ve ever tasted. We doctored it a bit at home and it was delicious, but still very sweet. Nonetheless, we will be back and will try new dishes.

I've been to many Indian restaurants over the years, and I can honestly say this is the best Indian food I've ever had. The food is consistently outstanding, and the staff are some of the hardest-working, friendliest, and most appreciative people I've met. Whenever I'm in St. Pete, I make it a point to stop here. My go-to order is the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan, and it never disappoints. If you're looking for incredible Indian food and exceptional service, this place is a must-visit.

I went here for the first time yesterday and wish I had visited this place sooner. Everything I tried was delicious, and the ambiance of the restaurant is very inviting and relaxing. Kumar was my waiter and his service was the most warm and hospitable. I will definitely be back!

After spending a wonderful weekend at St. Pete Sanding Ovation—relaxing on the beach and watching a beautiful sunset—we were excited to end the night with a good meal. Based on the strong reviews, we decided to try Gateway to India, but the experience turned out to be quite disappointing. The entry experience was pleasant, with a warm welcome and a comfortable, nicely maintained ambiance. Parking is plentiful, which is always a relief on a busy weekend night. Once seated, we started with the Kerala Shrimp and Chicken 65. Both appetizers were cooked properly, but the Kerala Shrimp dish came with only four small pieces overshadowed by a large amount of onions and green peppers. The flavors of both starters were average and lacked any standout spice or depth. We specifically requested a spicy level, but everything arrived very mild. We also ordered chai, hoping it would complement the meal, but it didn’t meet the mark either—weak in flavor and not well-balanced. For our main course, we chose the goat biryani, expecting it to be the highlight of the evening. Instead, it left us more disappointed than the starters. The dish resembled a basic vegetable pulao with green peppers, onions,
