Gateway to India Restaurant & Sweets

Out of all the Indian restaurants I’ve eaten in Nanaimo this one clearly misses the mark !We had a quick late lunch here despite being warned by a few friends of their underwhelming experiencesBut I’m a firm believer in second chances and here I was taking a chance on a restaurant.The biryani reminded me of a take on tehri and left a lot to be desired !They do not usually serve Raita with it so that was a bummerBut the major let down was the butter chicken !!It looked unappetizing and had a weird aftertasteWe were starving and tried to finish it but struggled all through!Overall a pass for me ! I really hope they do better because the ambience is actually quite nice !!

We bought this restaurant’s pakoras from Costco. They were absolutely delicious! We used the air fryer to heat and crisp them. 300 degrees for 6 minutes. Crisp and full of flavour! Can’t imagine why anyone would use a microwave. You need an oven or air fryer for crisping up the coating. My relatives on the mainland would love to be able to buy them in their local Costcos but can’t find them. Only available on the Island for a change! So, so tasty!

The best Indian food I've had anywhere. I particularly recommend the beef korma and palaak paneer. The service is a little slow, but it's a beautiful restaurant, and very low key. You can enjoy good food and conversation at this place. Just be a little patient with the pace of service.

We went for dinner with good friends from Calgary to Gateway to India. We were so impressed with the food. Everyone was impressed (even the restless and hard to please 10yr old). Thank you for the hospitality ??
