To behonest this is not my first time at the rodeo. I have had the pleasure of eating at the India Gate before. But as an update on my previous review I would like to assess if it is still the best Indian restaurant in portsmouth. Ratings are as follows. Atmosphere: 8/10 There are not really any beautiful views outside of the windows however the decor makes up for this with soft lighting, and flawless tableware. One suggestion I would have for this restaurant is that they adjust the music a little to give it more of an Indian feel because I maybe wrong but if I go to a Indian I want to feel like I am in India even a little bit. Also I could barely hear the music at all as it needed to be a little louder. Apart from these notes it is a great little place with a bar also Food and Drink: 8 In all honesty I could not really rate the food I had any higher as it was superb. I had poppadoms with chutney and such (as seen in the photo) the condiments were great and the poppadoms still warm. For my main I chose the Lamb shatkora and trust me when I say this that if you love lamb then go for it as the Lamb is tender and has just the right amount of fat. With the sour spiciness of this curry I complimented it with the mushroom rice which was not greasy at all. The peshwari naan that I had was also delightful and not too overpowering. Lamb Shatkora + Mushroom rice + Peshwari = excellent combination. The drink I started off with however distracted me. I asked for a ruby port (Cockburns) and when I received it I was a bit disappointed to see ice in the glass. It might only be a little thing but if you have a bar then there is a great need to know that if you serve port you don't add ice as watered down port isn't very pleasant. That is the reason why the score is not a 10 for food and drink. Therefore if you go hear explain how you want your drink served. Service:8/10 Nothing really to complain about except for the time it took from poppadoms to main meal. It was a good 45 minutes. Another point was overhearing the staff member saying "You can't please some people" Not a massive issue but if I can remember it then it takes away from my remembrance of the night Overall 8/10 If they can sort the music and the bar out for next time then i will be more than happy to review again in the future because everything else was great. I really wanted to rate this place higher
