Masala gate was my most favourite Indian restaurant, when I moved to Canterbury I was so pleased to have found an Indian to my taste, I raved to everyone about it. But things have changed, and I have given it 3 more tries before I need to look for somewhere else. The price has gone up considerably but unfortunately the standards have dropped, not sure if they have changed their chef, but it's really not good. We had a prawn korma, which should be nice and creamy, well it was like water, and the prawns were as big as a 5p piece, or as small. So overall we are just disappointed that something that was so good is now mediocre at best. Such a shame.
I use this takeaway quite a lot, but I have found it a bit hit and miss recently. The chicken korma is more like three pieces of chicken floating in korma soup. The garlic chilli chicken is frequently undercooked, and hard to cut as a result. This is also dangerous. The vegetable curry is so thin, and the vegetables have been shredded so tiny, that it’s more like soup. To be honest, it doesn’t touch the sides, and feels like I haven’t eaten it. When there are a good few other Indian takeaways in the area, I do think that masala gate need to try harder in order to keep custom. I feel like it might be time for me to try a different restaurant.
We have ordered from Masala Gate several times now and usually opt for takeaway. The food is always ready on time, freshly prepared, and delicious. It is one of the best takeout options in terms of both quality and flavor. My friends and I have all agreed on this. An added bonus is being able to see the kitchen and food preparation area, which is always clean and organized. I highly recommend Masala Gate to anyone looking for a great Indian takeaway option. We have tried others in Canterbury, but this one always stands out. This will likely become our go-to choice from now on.
We have used this as our local takeaway for many years but things seem to have changed. Maybe the chef, the recipes or the ingredients but whatever it is its a huge mistake. The chicken korma was dreadful, it looked awful and tasted worse, it was watery and tasted like off milk. The sag aloo was a mixture of cooked and undercooked potatoes and very dry........ My dinner ended up in the bin. We will not be returning

The restaurant is way too expensive and the curry I tried was terrible. It seemed like they used a packet of cheese sauce and added a little spice to it. I will not be ordering from this place again. The food was good the first few times I went, but I have been let down every time I have ordered in the past year.
The food from this restaurant was amazing for takeout. We ordered the chicken biriyani, chicken jalfrezi, and naan, and it was absolutely delicious. The food arrived warm and on time. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially coming from someone of South Asian descent.
Ordered on Deliveroo and it eventually arrived cold and 2 hours late, after being lied to over the phone several times as to when I could expect my order. Do not trust this takeaway. Food was poor when it eventually arrived too!
Ordered online and £65.50 taken from my credit card. They claim they have not received the order and it’s a dodgy web site. Do not order online from this restaurant.
