Love their food, nice staff, owner is nice though it seems he comes out of the kitchen less these days. The only disappointment I have is in their rice tasting a little buttery and being a little oily rather than a nice fluffy jade rice which Im used to. I usually call ahead and go pick it up about 45 minutes later, would be nice if it was open more hours but understandable it is not.Edit: I posted this comment right after I ordered tonight and if it was my first time eating here it wouldve been a 1, but Ive been eating here for over a decade and this was my first time with the multiple issues I had.
Ordered the lamb saag, chicken tikka masala and a plain naan to go. rich and full of flavor, great balance of spices, everything tasted clean and fresh. british-indian style cooking done really well for the USA - id take my family from the UK here and they would be very happy. going to give this another go very soon!!!
A total cluster&@#%. I ordered online at 6:15 PM. The website said the order would take 25 minutes. When I showed up at 6:40 and they said that my order would be ready in 5 to 10 minutes, I was Ok with that, but 45 minutes after that point I was still waiting. The food might even be good. I have no idea. At this point it doesn’t even matter. A squirrel or a chipmunk could have communicated better.After I had stood there for over an hour, the waitress came out to tell me my order “wasn’t in the system”. Since I gave them my name an hour earlier I found that somewhat surprising.I got the feeling that either someone didn’t show up for work or that they showed up for work insanely high and unable to cook. In any case, this was bad and badly handled.Then they called me at 8:50, after I was back home and I’d already had a sandwich, to tell me they had found my order, and it was ready for me to pick up. I declined.Since this restaurant has been in business for years, I’d have to assume they usually do better. Otherwise, I’d imagine they are within days of folding completely.
Best butter chicken and aloo parantha nann.
We popped in for dinner and were greeted kindly and seated promptly. Everything we ordered (vegetable Samosa; Alu Palak; Bagen Alu; garlic naan) was excellent. This is a must for any vegans eating in the area, and really for anyone in Woodstock.
The food was delicious and the service was great. Family owned restaurant and they are just so sweet! Had a great time
When we walked in we were the only table, kinda seemed sketchy, we stayed anyway, and everything turned out delicious. Took a little while, but it seemed they are very short staffed and the food is made basically from scratch. Tasted like authentic Indian.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and portion sizes of the garlic naan and samosas! Being from a brown/Hindu family, I also appreciated that the son of the household was doing his best and catering to the needs of people in the restaurant. Given the current situation going with Covid, I wish some people would be nicer to him! Overall, I really liked it and I would definitely visit again when I am in Woodstock again!
Some of the best garlic naan and samosa I’ve ever eaten! My wife also expressed her enthusiastic approval, and she has made samosa professionally. Give this place your business if you like hot, fresh food in hearty portions at an affordable price!
Such a great spot, is very charming and also delicious! Family run, love this place!
This place is awesome! Gem of Woodstock. The food was fresh, great staff. I’d highly recommend!
Came here on a Sunday evening with my family and had a wonderful time! The place has a cool authentic vintage vibe. The food was delicious and the nan was so fresh and fluffy. They have options for everyone (veggie and meat) Highly recommend the mango lassi and lamb korma. It’s a great family-owned business. Come visit if you’re looking for yummy food!
We always call an order in ahead of time. Normally ready in 20-30 mins and the longest we’ve gotten was an hour, on a holiday. The food is DELICIOUS! We normally order chicken korma, lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala and meat samosas, it’s fantastic every time.
I loved the decor, it made me feel like I was actually in India. The music was also very enjoyable. The service was a bit slow, but I didnt mind. I also loved the food, the food was very delicious and I liked the spiciness of all the different varieties of food. The desserts too were delightful. I will definitely come back again. The prices, I think were suited for the food, and not too pricey. The appetizers were pretty cheap although, but either way the appetizers-and the entrees and dessert- were exquisite. And, being in Woodstock town its a very short drive from my house so I can just drive up the road for Indian food whenever I want. Fine service, exquisite food, and lovely decor. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who lives in/near Woodstock, you wont regret it.
My boyfriend and I ordered the chana masala, chicken curry and garlic naan and they were all delicious! The chana masala had the perfect amount of spice and the rice that came with it was great. My boyfriend had the chicken curry and he said it was one of the best that he’s had. We will definitely be ordering from Mountain Gate again when we are in the area! Also, a thank you to the staff for being so accommodating and going out of their way to make a delivery for us.
Our family has enjoyed the food at Mountain Gate for many years! We always order take out on Christmas Eve and reheat for our Christmas Day dinner. The food is freshly prepared, tasty and delicious. We usually order the shagg ponir, chicken tikka masala, tikka, dal, vegetable samosas, paratha and garlic naan. All are excellent! Highly recommend!
I had dinner here once in Aug. and once so far in Sept. I wont sugar coat anything so being right up front I found the food was very good plus you can have it made to order particularly regarding the level of spice and heat (mild to hot). The only concerns which are being addressed are the current waiter (not experienced) and the facility is clean but aging.
Waited an hour in a less than half full restaurant, not even a sorry about the wait. Food was only OK. Samosas were cold in the middle.Its a cute family establishment but we were very disappointed.
Deco, service is plain in todays standard. Tasty Indian food at reasonable price. The owner has been in town a long time. Nice to see it keeps being practical. Tuesday buffet some times run out of food early, though good deal. Order from the menu is more reliable.
Hands down the best Indian restaurant Ive ever visited! Went a few weeks ago with my family, they had some great chicken vindaloo and the naan was to die for. Service was really good, our waitress was nice and attentive, and the overall restaurant was clean and was a peaceful environment.
Food was very bland and extremely salty. The vegetables were barely chopped. The vindaloo and masala were watery and lacked all the exciting flavors of Indian food.The basmati rice was fine and poori was good.
Really delicious, fresh Indian food. Took a bit longer than the online wait time predicted but was worth the wait. Great portion size and taste. I had the vegetarian Mali Shai Kofta, was soo good! Highly recommend.
Food was amazing, will definitely be going back. Could be cleaner.
The staff was so nice and the food was amazing! Good portion sizes and well priced!
This restaurant has been here forever and has always been excellent, better than most in NYC. Very flavorful. I love the homey, Woodstocky interior. Might not be for you if you are expecting slick, westernized Indian-ish food.
Been here twice and the Food was very good. Being an Indian its difficult for Indian - American restaurants to satisfy my tongue. I liked that food was not oily, tasted fresh, good service, liked aroma of rice.Didnt like the decor. Chapati was made from common purpose flour which is a big no in Indian cooking (-1 star for this).Nice place to go after hike on Overlook mountain
This happened around 8Pm on 28th Dec 2019.The young male who took care of serving is very rude and not pleasant. Took very long time to respond for anything and took time to take order.I placed mixed non-veg Briyani, he didn’t tell that lamb and shrimp not available which was provided in menu, but instead he just provided whatever is available. I clearly mentioned that less spice, but it was in high spice which is same as provided for others in table.I complained to him but still I didn’t return or refuse to eat.I thought of taking out the left over instead of wasting, we asked box two times before leaving, but he was lethargic and showing attitude and didn’t bring boxes, got too much frustrated with the behavior and we left without taking the left over box.Also, after we placed order it took 30-35 mins to bring the dishes, not sure enough cook is there.
The restaurant was run down and needed a makeover. Also the waiter was extremely rude and a horrible waiter, he was not very attentive and half the time we had to repeat Our orders over and over. Also when I asked him for a to go box he practically shoved the box into my lap. I found that extremely rude, I think he should be fired because he’s obviously disinterested in his job. He also liked spilling water from the plants in the restaurant onto the seats. The food was really good however.
Really poor, contemptuous service. Always is. Ive been coming here basically as Mountain Gate is the only Indian food nearby for over a decade. After the most recent visit, will not return. Same old mediocre food. If the servers knew what they were doing the service would be offensive. Skip it and travel 13 miles to another Indian restaurant that doesnt treat customers as disposable.
Great indian food for a solid price. Food was fresh, spicy, and not to mention, delicious. Loved the vegetable vindaloo. Lots of vegan options to accommodate my wife and I.
We traveled to this area on a road trip. We love mom and pop eateries. This is a great hole in the wall.We ordered Korai Lamb Curry and Naan. It was outrageous.We also ordered yogurt. It was awesome! It was homemade style. Wish we lived closer.
Weve eaten here for many years and its better than any other Indian restaurant weve ever been to. The atmosphere is typical Woodstock, very relaxing and the food is really good. Highly recommended.
So delicious, thanks so much!
Solid Indian food and friendly service. They did get our order a little wrong (they served us chicken vindaloo instead of lamb vindaloo) but these things happen. Was surprised that the chicken tikka masala was a bit hot for our kids (esp when they recommended it for kids) but they were happy eating naan and samoas. Will definitely go back for the Tuesday night buffet.
I can say without hesitation that this is my favorite restaurant in Woodstock, the whole staff is kind and helpful and its a nice quiet spot with good atmosphere. The Chicken Tikka Masala blew us away
I love this place! If you want a good local place in Woodstock this is the place to go. I’ve never had Indian food better than this and I’ve gone to a lot of places. Defiantly would recommend.
This is the best Indian food Ive ever had, and Ive had a lot of Indian food. Yes the service is slow but its because the owner is back there making everything fresh. The naan and paratha in particular are to die for.
I have been eating here for years, and it never disappoints. Great food at really good prices, and a super nice staff.
Absolutely delicious lamb rogan josh, samosas, chicken jalfreze, garlic naan, and the best chai! The family is very friendly as well!
It was 20 minutes before we were told (and we had to ask) that they were out of papadums and had to order a replacement starter. Our mains then arrived while we were still eating them. Our mains were indifferent. The chicken was leg meat rather than breast which you would always get in indian restaurants in the uk where we come from. Shame, as we love indian food. And the toilets, do they pass public health requirements in the us? Cant believe they do.
A little run down. Some of the plates were chipped. No alcohol served so we bought from the package store across the street. Food was good but not remarkable. Service good. Place not full but it was pretty early
Wonderful, authentic Indian food. Owner and staff are wonderfully friendly. Buffet is well worth the trip (40 minutes from my house)
Food was amazing!!! I got the chicken tikka masala they give you a good amount of chicken pieces and the perfect amount of spicey! I would highly recommend this place if you are into Indian food and I would 100% go back!
Food is really good if you have the time and patience to wait for it. Even a takeout order on a Wednesday evening I was told would be about forty five minutes. I went to pick up my order an hour later giving them a bit of extra time and I still had to wait twenty minutes.
Ok -place BUT a little Bit pricey -for what its worth ,, ANYTHING located in Woodstock has to Cater to NYC weekender clientele /transplants with BIG$$$$ pocketbooks.$12.95 for a Buffet -OUCHHHHHHHH - Icould go up to Albany,NY &get a $8.95 Indian -Paki stani buffet.Love the Tandoori Chicken ,but the curries are Sadly Too Full of Cumin to be called Curry - where IS the Yellow stuff when You like it????The Waitstaff is Ok -just sort of Addled from whatever is going on .Worth going if you want indian food and you cannot get Out of Woodstock.
This is the worst Indian food that I have ever tasted. The food is disastrous. We ordered shog ponir and it tasted so bad. Please dont visit this restaurant and waste ur money.. Its really not worth it ...I want to give a negative rating to this restaurant .. Hopeless food.
I want to give 0 star for this restaurant and stay away from this place. We waited for 2 hrs before our food arrived and it came with bugs in rice, bread was burnt.This is also not an indian restaurant, it’s actually Bangladeshi restaurant....Horrible food and horrible service
This place simply knows how to take care of their customers. Always with a super friendly demeanor. The food is conveniently priced, always yummy and clean.
I like the food here. Many old favorites, done very well. The owners are lovely people, too, always very welcoming.
Real Indian cuisine. Very good.
My most favorite indian restaurant. Everything is prepared fresh and tastes amazing
It is actually a Bangladeshi restaurant deceiving people saying Indian restaurant. The waiters behavior was not good and was super slow from taking orders to serving food.
Food was good, the chef was able to accomodate our request of jain food.papdum was good, roti ok, daal was good, bhindi was fresh and good, service was ok, restroom bad
Delicious Indian food with lots of options (vegan friendly) and excellent service!
Best Chiken Tika Masala and poori bread delicious everytime I get it.. Nice people food is very good pricey but worth it give it a try youll like it:-)
It was like you had a salt lick, everything was very salty. The waiter ordered the wrong thing for me show me this is what I ordered atmosphere going right.
Interesting Indian food not really my taste. Places clean the staff was courteous
Unexpectedly got good cuisine from here. :)... would recommend people to visit the place if u r near catskill mountain and want indian cuisine.

Great food, but a little slow and doesnt really have a process for takeout. Possibly understaffed.
The food is amazing! Best Indian food Ive ever had!
Excellent Indian food, but you’ll have to wait for a bit before the food comes out.
Little fancy place but service is super slow. One waitress takes care of whole restaurant at dinner . :(
Very slow service..food was very bad..little sweet n really not worth it..very oily black papadums 😡
I really wanted this place to be good :(
This is the worst Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Don’t go hear

2022-02-19This place is amazing! Best Indian food in the Hudson Valley! Dont miss this gem if youre in Woodstock. I usually order to go, as I live nearby and the food is always super delicious! The inside may be a bit outdated, especially compared to the more fancy restaurants in town, but dont let the decor fool you, the food is better then any other restaurant in town. The vegetable parkora and lamb vindaloo are my go-too. Try it for yourself.

2022-01-16This is without a doubt, the best Indian food in the Hudson Valley. The chai tea is outrageously good, all of the soups are one of a kind and incredible and the entree was next level. 10/10 - definitely come and support an awesome locally owned business that’s been around for years

2022-01-16Nice environment and good menu. You have to say your preferencies in advance - mild or spicy - since they don’t ask and you can have a nice time . The teas are very good and the papadum and poori are just fine. Dishes generously served.

2021-09-14The food here is SO GOOD. Everything we got was incredible, and our server was so kind, helpful, and accommodating. His suggestions were spot on, and he went out of his way to make us feel welcomed. The samosas were fresh hot, crispy, and so flavorful.The coconut soup was so good I got a second order for dessert! Somehow it’s sweet, light, and filling all at once. Portions were very generous and the presentation was really beautiful. Everything was so fresh! Hands down one of our favorite restaurants (not just in Woodstock, but in general) and we’ll be back every time we’re in town!

2022-05-07Thank you thank you thank you!!! Ordered in tonight because I wasn’t feeling well. Almost didn’t because I’ve never had Indian food delivery not come in those plastic containers. First time got a sustainable delivery! (And the food is great too!)

2022-06-16Fantastic experience! The lamb chunks were HUGE and very tender. The spice level was perfect and everything was hot and fresh. Some of the best samosas I’ve ever had!

2022-06-28Mountain Gate Indian Restauranr is one of Woodstocks real hidden gems. It is the best Indian food I have ever had - delicious, fresh, and homemade. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Just dont leave without having tried the Malai Kulfi ice cream for dessert!The family who runs Mountain Gate are wonderful. The atmosphere is lovely. Truly everything about this restaurant is the real deal!

2022-04-02We love it. We ordered samosas, chicken take masala , garlic naan. So good. We lucky find the place. Best Indian food ever.
Review №9
2020-11-22They could have done better.Placed an order in person for take out. This is an Indian resturant so most of the food is prepared mind you. The host said it would take around 35 minutes and would call us when the order would be ready to be picked up. Ok. We go for a walk 35 minutes later I call them and they forgot to put the order through! I hear the background they ask if it was a phone order. Then say 15 minutes.Meanwhile they serve everyone else. It has now been an hour and we have yet to see our order be fulfilled. If I could only cancel the order and take my business elsewhere. However I am stuck waiting outside in the cold on a Saturday night.Called three more times to confirm that they processed the order. The last time I kept them on the phone for 10 minutes.Update 1:35 Im freezing. Outside. Got food.soup and mimosas were cold naan was burnt this was some bs they pulled. Did. Not. leave. a. Tip.They could have. Done better.

2022-01-16Food is amazing, pickled veggies, garlic naan, vegetable vindaloo, curry soup. Interior is refreshingly old school Woodstock and Indian, compared to the typical aesthetic at all the newer spots.
