The short answer
Gateway of India: what visitors should know first
Pick it for familiar Indian food near the beach. It is not a pure veg kitchen, so vegetarians should ask about separate cooking. The listing says Jain food is cooked by its Indian chef.

Why it matters
Why Gateway of India is worth your time
The restaurant offers a convenient Indian meal at the beach end of Kuta. For families who do not insist on a fully vegetarian kitchen, it provides North and South Indian dishes close to the sand.
Its value is as a flexible stop, not as a dietary refuge. Compare it with the pure vegetarian options and choose based on your family's rules. Strict vegetarians and Jain diners should ask how food is prepared, and may prefer a fully vegetarian kitchen nearby such as Ayodhya or Sattvik By Nature, covered elsewhere in this guide.

How to experience it
Ask for the Jain preparation when ordering and confirm how it is cooked. Chope's description says Jain food is cooked by an experienced Indian chef, and that the restaurant serves vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
Menu highlights listed include chole bhature, vegetable samosa and papdi chaat. The restaurant is kid-friendly and casual, so it suits families.
Because it also serves meat, strict vegetarians who worry about shared utensils may prefer one of Kuta's pure vegetarian restaurants. If you do eat here, say clearly at the start that you eat only vegetarian or Jain food.
