What it's like
Gate of India is a City Road Indian restaurant for classic curry-house dishes, Balti, tandoori, takeaway, delivery, groups and station-side dinners.
Gate of India is the old-school City Road curry-house option: red-tablecloth mood, long local memory, Indian and Balti standards, takeaway and late dinner.
It is not trying to be the modern polished Indian in the centre. That can be a strength if you want familiar curry-house comfort. It can also be a weakness if you need the whole thing to feel sharp and current.
Worth knowing
Gate of India has loyal fans and proper history, but it is not a no-caveat recommendation. Use it for classic curry-house comfort, especially if City Road suits the night.
