My score 4 stars.  Great lunchtime deal that more locals & tourists should partake in - being at other end of Leibig St away from restaurant precinct probably doesn't help walk-in trade.  We lived near Warrnambool for 9 months over last spring/summer/autumn & ate here at least once a fortnight.  Service level ok to good depending on who serves you; mainly we got the chef/owner who was a nice guy (he chose all the Bollywood background music which was great).  There was a woman who was also pleasant & another woman who was ok.  Food > For $12.50 you get a thali (platter) which consists of 2 mains/nice long grain rice/really generous sized naan/yoghurt/pappadum & a drink - we would leave feeling very full & take some naan with us for ron.  Butter chicken/Lamb rogan josh for the carnivores, but we chose a vego version of Dal & Shahi Paneer.  The Dal was smoky & rich - we really enjoyed the texture of the larger pulses amongst the smaller lentils.  The paneer was good - sauce was creamy & flavoursome with a nice chilli level.  We settled on medium-plus heat after trying a few different levels early on.   Each visit we would see regulars "in the know"  either dining in or getting the lunch deal as take away...   One of the better lunch venues in this part of the world - definitely under-rated!

Food good, service good , did not have to wait long. Food  was not what we normally eat, 👔 Enjoyed the change    But I don't think  it would be a regular on our menu list.😆

Very very good Indain food. Visiting Warrnambool we were struggling to find a preferred restaurant open on a Monday night. We chose India Gate as it had great reviews on Urban Spoon. We were definitely not disappointed, nice décor, good service and very very good food. BYO which is always a bonus and prices very fair. If this restaurant was in Melbourne it would be busy all the time. Highly recommend this really great find.

Well-kept secret. I am continually disappointed with the quality of dining in the south west after moving to the area two years ago, but India Gate is an exception. It's worked its way into my routine, heading down there about every three weeks to get a chicken sagwala with na'an and steamed rice for about $25. A fairly standard price for what is, consistently, a rich, tasty, fulfilling meal.

I have also tried the butter chicken, which is a little sweeter than I am used to, but is still of top quality. The only disappointing experience I have had was when the lamb was severely overcooked, leading to hard lumps floating in the curry sauce. But one bad experience out of about 20 is a pretty good return, especially for a Warrnambool restaurant.

The one thing I cannot understand is how it is usually fairly empty on most nights. I feel the people of Warrnambool are missing out on high-quality food, with pleasant service in a warm setting. Perhaps it is hard to spot as people race around the Liebig Street corner. Perhaps it is because Indian cuisine has yet to establish itself in this part of regional Victoria.

Highly recommended.

Great Indian! Great service even though we were the only one's in the restaurant. Keep an eye out for the specials board, had a coconut naan with our curries which weren't on the menu and they were amazing. If you like Indian you'll love Indian Gate. Highly recommend.

Polite service and good food. Particularly tasty and interesting vegetarian dishes. The only downside was the wait - well over 30 mins after ordering and we were only the second table occupied. The waitress seemed to be juggling takeaway orders as well as managing the tables and even when our first dishes arrived we waited several minutes for our rice, bread and other items, whilst she took another order at the counter.

Great atmosphere, the aroma and the staff are fantastic! With a choice of 'hotness' the food is perfect, excellent value and as fresh as you could imagine. Warrnambool is lucky to have an Indian restaurant of this quality. It's one of my favourites and I find it hard to go elsewhere! Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Excellent take Away. Not sure why the above reviewer took things so seriously, but we thought you'd like to know our experience with India Gate. We now call it India Great after ordering take away, but it was hot and delicious, and delivered to our apartment within 25 minutes of ordering.

It was actually delivered to our room on the 2nd floor (we didin't expect door to door) by a friendly staff member who even brought a wireless Eftpos machine so we could pay by card. we were expecting to meet him outside in the rain with the usual messing around with change etc.

It made that cold rainy night perfect and a great memory of or trip along the great ocean road. we'll be orcdering more next visit.

We.are in Warrnambool for the Carnival. We wanted a good Indian meal and we’re all surprised by the quality of India Gate. The sample plate entree was an instant winner. The food was not too spicy and we all had an enjoyable time. We will be back.
