Great authentic food, excellent service, clean surrounds. Take your on wine if wanted. Watch out for automatic service charge. Would recommend.

Great little co-op - very convenient (especially with the bus stop outside) and a great place to purchase alcohol to drink in the Indian restaurant a few doors down!

Rehman and his colleagues are always welcoming and, more than that, the food is excellent. We have been here a few times and will be back again in the next few weeks.

Staying in Newton Stewart for the night with my 2 teenage daughters. Decided to hit the the cinema then grab something to eat. Girls choice was to try the Indian restaraunt halfway up the main street. Met by an older lady in an arrival who showed us to put table. Not the largest of premises and tables were crammed in to provide more seating. Place didn't have a drinks licence so headed to the co-op for a couple of beers. Girls had orange juice and lemonade. Kitchen is to the back of the restaraunt, off the main dining area. Lots of conversation and laughing from the kitchen, however never seen anyone but this lady from when we entered. Ordered a pokies platter for one daughter and a popodom platter £695 each. Very small portions with minute bowls of dips. Main courses came in plain white saucers which took away the authentic Indian feel. Good was ok, as we were very hungry to had our fill. The bill came to £61, which I feel was overpriced for what we got. Restaraunt doesn't take card so had to go the bank further up the street. Feel this place is a shabby set up and I is the only Indian restaraunt in miles so they will get the custom. However, feel it a bit of a top off because of this. I had visited here over a month ago and have only written this review now due to my disappointment visiting this place. Would say this place is average.

India Gate by name, India Gate by nature! Wedding Anniversary - 9 years married. Alison is a lover of Curry Houses from Birmingham to Glasgow. After walking past India Gate which was once known as Meenas we were handed a menu by the owner. Prices appeared quite reasonable with some meal deals available. We returned a couple of hours later and were put front of house. The venue does not have a license and we were told we could only be offered soft drinks. No problem in that. However, it soon became evident that meals were a good 30% more than the Takeaway menu. I guess the food must be good?. Our food arrived really quickly, only slightly slower than a McDonalds restaurant order. A Chicken Jaipuri and a Prawn Karahi. The prawns appeared more than shrimps and the sauce was quite sweet and not hot and spicy , although all the chicken appeared ok. This was all served in nice white school dinner plates. Just behind us, the two members of staff hurriedly dealt with Takeaway orders which clearly were not going through. They appeared annoyed the customers were phoning them with queries. They suggested payments had gone to Meenas. They then engaged in conversation about how some people had waited nearly 2 hours for orders the previous weekend and it was a shame the customers were annoyed. On leaving the venue we were given a bill of nearly £60 for two waters, two curries, rice and naan. We had in fact been charged for three curries, with two of the them being prawn Jaipuris (not what had been ordered) In summary, the worst wedding anniversary meal of 9 years of marriage. Food and service abysmal and very over priced! Also you have to pay in cash!

Well stocked with a sanitation station at the entrance. Usual co-op selection, I would recommend the posh pizza. Friendly staff.

I wanted a decent curry. I?m very choosy about what I eat, but I love lamb and the Garlic Lamb Masala stood out as the perfect takeaway for me. I added the fried rice to the order and was given a 15 minute timescale. The staff very kindly suggested the meal for one deal, which would have given me the same food and added vegetables for cheaper, however, I know I?d not be able to eat it all so stuck with my original order, but it was good of them to offer. I got back to my holiday flat and I am pleased - no ecstatic, to report that the meal was brilliant. An exceptional sauce, large dry, pink perfectly cooked lamb in huge chunks, with no waste or gristle, and frankly more than enough to satisfy my hungry bones. Thank you ?India Gate? Highly recommended for sit in or take away.

Usually I oder online but I have noticed that the vegetable Biriani that I usually order states that it has meat in it now (even though all the other Birianis have meat in them and so does the most of their menu) so I phoned to put an order in for collection to clarify that. A male picked up saying `hello? in a pretty rude voice. Not even `hello Meenas?. I said that I would like to put an order in for collection, I was told to stay on the phone, waited a bit, heard some laughter?s in the background then got hung up on. Didn?t receive a phone back. Clearly I was disturbing the guy I order from Meenas for my family on average once a month but never again. Food is extremely overpriced for what it is, and I have eaten in many many Indian restaurants in big cities. The Biriani sauce keeps changing from edible to extremely spicy, nothing is ever consistent. Had undercooked potatoes a few times. The worst thing? For anyone that has intolerances or allergies it?s impossible to order. I?m vegan and I?m intolerant to dairy and wheat - there is ZERO indications as to what is even vegetarian!! Never mind vegan or gluten free. Only restaurant I know that still doesn?t have this. Been inside once, with my family and children - very awkward, no music, very quiet and very empty. No atmosphere what so ever. They don?t give a crap about customers, it?s only profit and greed. Won?t ever be coming back.

As veterans of South Asian food from Karnataka to Bradford & Birmingham, these 5 stars are not given lightly. The veggie dishes are freshly cooked to perfection, not a menu afterthought. This is the only local Indian restaurant so its excellence is a blessing

We ordered a meal whilst staying in a local holiday accommodation. To say we were pleasantly surprised is an understatement!! We eat a lot of Indian food and therefore can be quite particular about quality. The online ordering process was effortless and rare in the area. The quick delivery was wonderful and quicker than the estimated 45mims - arriving in under half an hour. The food itself was fresh, warm and very tasty. All dishes were accompanied by very fresh crispy salad and not the often limp salad offering that is sent in a home delivery. The whole experience was great - our only downfall was our usual ordering far too much! We will definitely use again when in the area
