The Gate of India Menu at 20 The Glebe, Stevenage SG2 0DJ, delivers a charming and flavorful introduction to classic Indian cuisine, with an emphasis on authentic taste and consistency. As someone who frequently explores Indian restaurants across the UK, I found this establishment to be a standout, particularly in its ability to strike a balance between tradition and customer-friendly variety.

What sets Gate of India apart is its well-curated menu that includes all-time favourites such as chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, and an especially aromatic biryani that I found to be subtly spiced and generously portioned. For vegetarians, the saag paneer and tarka dal offer depth and richness without being overly heavy. The starters section includes crispy onion bhajis and juicy chicken pakoras-perfectly executed and served promptly.

The naan selection deserves a mention. The garlic naan is soft yet crisp on the edges, with just the right amount of char. Portion sizes throughout the menu are generous, and the pricing feels fair for the quality and quantity delivered. I also appreciated their attention to customer requests-heat levels were easily adjusted, and staff were knowledgeable about allergens and dietary accommodations.

Unlike many local competitors, Gate of India does not rely on overly oily or cream-laden sauces to mask flavour. Instead, each dish appears thoughtfully prepared, with distinct textures and spices that don’t overwhelm the palate. Compared to more modern, fusion-style Indian restaurants, this spot leans into comforting, classic execution-a good choice for purists.

In conclusion, the Gate of India Menu offers a dependable and flavourful experience, suitable for both regular takeaways and celebratory dine-ins. Its strengths lie in consistency, attentive service, and a menu that honours traditional Indian recipes while remaining accessible to the local Stevenage community.
