Perched above Douglas Bay with panoramic views that are as memorable as the meals, Gandhi Indian Restaurant in Onchan offers a refined and flavourful dining experience in one of the Isle of Man’s most scenic settings. Combining authentic Indian cuisine with elegant, modern décor and warm hospitality, Gandhi is the perfect destination for everything from intimate dinners to relaxed family gatherings and lively group celebrations.
Inside, the restaurant is bright, vibrant, and welcoming, with a design that blends modern style with subtle nostalgic touches. It’s a space where the atmosphere is elevated yet unpretentious — made all the more special by the breathtaking outlook over the water.
The kitchen team, led by a multi-award-winning Head Chef with experience working alongside some of the UK’s most well-known culinary names, brings both tradition and innovation to the table. With a focus on fresh, locally sourced produce and original Indian recipes, the menu strikes a perfect balance between bold, classic flavours and modern presentation.
Guests can enjoy a full à la carte menu, including a wide range of biryani, curries, and tandoori dishes, along with a generous selection of vegetarian options. Whether you’re a fan of mild, aromatic dishes or prefer a kick of spice, there’s something for every palate. For those looking to explore more, Sunday buffets offer the chance to sample a wide variety of dishes in one sitting — a favourite among regulars and newcomers alike.
One of the restaurant’s more unique offerings is the Bring Your Own Bottle policy, allowing diners to bring along their favourite wines or drinks to enjoy with their meal. Glassware and service are provided, making it a relaxed and cost-effective way to enhance your dining experience.
Throughout the week, Gandhi also offers fantastic midweek deals, including a 2-for-1 main course offer on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (dine-in only) — a great excuse to plan a midweek meal out with friends or loved ones.
Booking is recommended, particularly during weekends and offer nights, to secure a window-side table and make the most of the stunning coastal views. The setting and service make it just as well-suited to romantic date nights as it is to family meals and group bookings.
In addition to dining in, Gandhi offers both takeaway and delivery, so you can enjoy their award-winning Indian cuisine from the comfort of home. Whichever way you choose to experience it, Gandhi promises dishes that are fresh, full of flavour, and served with pride.
For traditional Indian cooking with a modern twist, breathtaking sea views, and a welcoming atmosphere, Gandhi in Onchan continues to be one of the island’s most impressive and popular Indian restaurants.
