Curry hate is one of our favorite place to go for authentic Indian/Nepali food. Their momo, saag paneer and every other dish we tried is delicious. the staff is very friendly and Yuki is amazing so soft spoken and a great setver. Love the food and service!! read more

Everything we ordered was fantastic, but the butter chicken banged! The service was great too, and Alex went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Great food, attentive service, and a welcoming experience. read more

3 out of 5 stars is generous. The best part may have been the service but the food we had was not good. We bought the aloo gobi and 2 sides. The naan and samosas were typical but the aloo gobi had more of a watery tomato taste than the thicker sauce I was expecting. I could also tell the vegetables didn't marinate long enough as they were almost seasonless and undercooked. Also, the restaurant was simply dirty. Wouldn't recommend this place. I did like how they offer mouth refreshers at the front desk, though (cardamom pods, fennel seeds, cloves, etc) read more

Curry Gate - Rice in the salt shaker to stop too much coming out at once - Indian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

So far best Indian food I've had in Charlotte. I would order ahead and it'll be hot and ready when you get there. This place is always so busy, but food is always spot on. The naan is Devine. Butter chicken or chicken tikka masala are my current favorites. Five spot but they are beautifying the inside and it seems they are creating room to dive in. read more

Massive portions. Great food. If you have an aversion to chicken thighs dont eat here. Alot of people are textured eaters it is what it is. But i digress. This place is great for dining in or to gos. That parking lot is a bit small. But worth the food. If you have an itch for this cuisine itll definitely be scratched. read more

Curry Gate - Indian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Takeout only! Chicken Tikka Masala (4/5): Creamy and full of flavor. There was one ingredient I really didn't like (maybe coriander seed?), and I wish it was easier to pick those out. I also should've ordered a higher spice level. 3/10 was hardly noticeable. Butter Chicken (4/5): Similar to the Tikka Masala, but more mellow. Samosas (3/5): Huge samosas, but they were a bit bland and needed a lot more spices. I didn't like either of the sauces, but that might've helped. Garlic Naan (2/5): Very disappointing. The naan was too thin and was crispy instead of soft and chewy. It also didn't have enough garlic flavor. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

This spot is a solid option for Indian take-out in charlotte. Everything is always hot, fresh, and ready quickly. The location is very unassuming, but it's definitely worth a try. The butter chicken or chicken tikka masala are classics, but I also love the samosas and chili chicken. You can select your Own spice level on any of the dishes as well. read more

Food hot, service swift, ambiance.. well its a food court so, it was lively. Dal and Palak paneer fresh and flavorful; Naans were a huge disappointment though. Frozen naans at the grocery store have a better texture; rice that comes with entrees was a saving grace read more

Wow. Some of the best Indian Nepali food I've ever tried. Super recommend the butter goat curry. The goat is so tender and clean. I also got the papdi chaat - sort of like Indian nachos - and that was great also. The restaurant is not in the most well-lit or vibrant area but the food is definitely worth taking the trip to. read more

Everything is always so delicious from Curry Gate. I will state that I have only visited this location due to proximity but it always hit the spot. I'm making my way through the menu and tonight was CG Special Biryani (level 3 was a little spicy just an fyi) and a cup of Mulligatawny. The CG special had so many flavors that worked great. I love the sauce that is served on the side. The soup was really good. It wasn't as heavy as a cream based soup but was still filling. read more

The food is always amazingly good at Curry Gate. First time trying their butter chicken, delicious. The chili garlic naan was also good, but spicy! The orange little chili peppers pack a punch! I picked up from their 24th location and service was as on time. I prefer swinging over there instead of waiting on delivery. Next time I am getting momos again cause I missed them... read more

My first time at Curey Gate did not disappoint! We got there and there was a "dine in closed. To go only" sign on the door, so we walked inside and ordered to-go! Only waited around 15 minutes. The BEST to go bags I have ever seen in my life. They are re-usable, durable, and insulated. I will be keeping the bag to re-use! Mango lassi was yummy! Delicious food! Will be ordering again! read more

Curry Gate deserves all the hype. On a recommendation from a friend, I ordered dinner for delivery to my hotel through DoorDash. Their menu is expansive, and it took me some time to make a decision! In the end, I went with the Butter/Makhani and the garlic naan. I have to shout out the Curry Gate team for going above and beyond to package their takeout orders. The bags that they use are heat-reflective, ensuring that your meal will stay warm for a while! In an unfortunate delivery incident, my food was delivered to the wrong hotel. I was able to track it down, and was worried that my meal would be cold by the time I returned. However, because of their attention to detail while packaging, everything was still hot and fresh. The food itself was amazing - the Makhani was creamy and spice-forward, and it comes with a generous portion of rice. They don't skimp on the garlic for the naan either - every bite was full of flavor. I would definitely order from Curry Gate again, and recommend it to anyone looking for a hearty and comforting meal. read more

I overestimated the ambiance the place would offer, being a spartan location surrounded by fenced in businesses, with a parking lot that a lot of drivers cut through. They have space to dine in, but everything is served in takeout containers. So to have the stature this place does, the food must be amazing, was my optimistic take. I was right. Ordering dal at a spice level 8/10 delivered a freshly cooked dish with diced vegetables mixed in. The serrano heat was ferocious; their spice levels are for real and I would think carefully before ordering. The people seem to be Nepali, and I ordered the classic dumplings from the region and was treated to a diced cabbage and veggie mix with a tasty mustard sauce. I was full for a long time, but if I had any more room, the plethora of vegetarian options was awfully tempting. They have a second location on the south side of town that I would definitely consider visiting. read more

I'm sure happy I found out about this place. You can tell by the constant stream of people in and out that they have quite the loyal following! Sadie took our order and served us and she was a sweet as they come! We had tons of questions being first timers and her suggestions were excellent! We tried the chicken tiki masala and the chicken biriyani - both were good - I favored the masala the hubby the biriyani as it was spicy. The dumplings are quite tasty too. This is pretty much a hole in the wall spot with only a few tables for dine in and they serve everything in to go containers so no ambiance but don't let that fool ya - it's still good stuff! They just opt to keep it simple! Plenty of parking as well. They're health score was 97 or something close to that which was reassuring This is not near us but still worth a trip every so often. read more

Food was so-so. Overpriced in my opinion. Chicken korma came with half box of rice and 4 small "nuggets" of chicken for $18. Had to pick little bits of bone out. Bhindi Masala with add-on chicken, but these were chicken wings. Who wants to eat wings with spicy indian food? We ate off paper plates and plastic utensils. Unfortunately the dining room was frigid. I don't think any heat was on. Only good thing I can say is the service was good, very nice server. read more

If you work uptown or in the surrounding area, and you love Indian food/curry dishes, Order from here: Curry Gate. I am a huge fan of their sister store: King of Spicy and it all started here, at Curry Gate. We have tried the Chicken Tiki, Kadi, and Korma and their Chilli. Best Indian food chain in Charlotte. Don't let the building fool you, it might look dingy on the outside, but the food inside is the best. If you do order and sit down the wait time is not long, but your food will be fresh. 100% recommend. read more

My go to Indian restaurant! Food is very delicious, pricing is very fair with the portions, and staff are always friendly! We love getting them to go, but have had a great experience dining in every time we've gone. Nothing has come close to beating them for me so far! Definitely worth a try!! read more

The Aesthetic: Hole in the wall, counter service Indian restaurant with amazing curries and dishes. The Price: I think it's pricey for one dish, but you can easily get two meals out of one so it's a better value. The quality is good for the price point. The Parking: They have a dedicated lot, so there's always plenty of spaces. My Order: I'm low key obsessed with the Palak Chicken and the Kashmiri Naan, it's a life changing combo. I'd eat anything on that naan honestly. The Rasmalai was good, but it could use a little more spice or pistachios. I haven't tried enough here, I need to keep trying dishes to find my favorites, it's just so good. The Conclusion: It's one of the better Indian restaurants in city, and you just have to try it! read more

This is hands down my fav Indian food in town. I've tried several dishes and none have disappointed me. If you're sick, try their soups, hot and spicy and make everything better. Our go to order is kadai lamb, garlic naan, samosa, and the tikka masala. Their spice levels are legit so go above a 4 if you dare. We stick to 5-6 and the next day it is HOT. read more

Service is super friendly. Place is clean. Food is meh. With so many other Indian places to try, there is better out there.

Much busier than anticipated but the staff exercised quick yet polite service. During my visit the dining area was closed, but guests were still allowed to sit in the booths while waiting for takeout. I ordered the chana masala and it was truly one of the best I've had! read more

I know very little about Indian food, but I am well versed in food that is hot and delicious. Curry Gate delivered on both fronts. It was my birthday so I got to decide what we would eat for dinner. For whatever reason, I've been dying to try Indian food in Charlotte. This was my golden opportunity, as my family typically sticks to American, Italian and Mexican foods for the most part. I was nervous and figured all four of them would choke it down for my sake, but that wasn't what happened. The food was amazing. My hubby tried the lamb Makhani (level 3) and I ordered the lamb Vindalu (level 4). After we tasted the others', we realized we liked each others better. So we swapped and we were both happy. My kids had chicken curry (level 3) and shrimp curry (level 1&4). Everything had immense flavor and it tasted like it all had simmered for hours and hours. Most people know Indian food is very spice forward and Curry Gate's was no exception. A few of the entrees came with rice and it was steamed perfectly. We also ordered chicken Momo and veggie Momo and they were both great. It came with a sauce that was, interesting, but in a good way. I kept eating it to figure out the flavor, but it was too unique to pinpoint. We also got garlic naan and that was the perfect balance to the sauciness of the entrees. The entire time we were there people were coming in and out non-stop picking up to go orders. It was constant. And this was at 3pm. So that should tell you there really is something special about this place. The building is small, you literally might drive by it not realizing that it's a restaurant, so you have to keep a look out for it. The staff were very nice and when I told them we were newbies to Indian food she was very helpful with informing our choices. The next time I want Indian food, I'll be coming back here! read more

If you're looking for a good flavor combination that will knock you off your feet, then try Curry Gate. Counter service style, suits the hole-in-the-wall cliche, but man do these dishes pack a punch and deliver. It was my first time ordering and had to go with Chicken Tikka Masala, level 5 (out of 10). 5 wasn't too hot, but I think a 6/7 would have capped me out. Hearty portion of rice and main dish, easily could have made it two meals, but that's no fun. 12/10 recommend if you're craving Indian food. I will be back to order again soon! read more

Loved it, the Paneer Tikka Masala I ordered had a great spicy kick and tasted fresh. The vegetarian soup I got was also top notch. It is a cafeteria style very bare bones place as far as plates/utensils, interior design, and service goes but that doesn't bother me. Your food will be served on a tray with disposible plates, plastic utensils, etc. As I've said in the past I'm all about flavor with Indian restaurants. I've asked Indians about this in the past, they say service and tips are not a part of their culture. I just enjoy the food and smiling over amazing flavors. read more

What a delicious experience. Curry Gate is officially my new favorite Gem in Charlotte. Located across from Camp North End you will find Curry Gate. At first, I wasn't sure if I was in the right spot. I thought my GPS took me to one of those arcade establishments. This family run restaurant serves Indian Nepalese cuisine. Customers can enjoy staples such as curries, samosas & grilled meats. I am no stranger to Indian cuisine of course. I was VERY excited to order takeout from here. Here's what we ordered: Garlic Naan - Must Try item! I love how the garlic wasn't over powering. Lamb Tikka Masala (spice level 1) - Very delicious, I could eat the sauce by itself. Two Samosas with added sauces. Half order of Tandoori Chicken (Spice level 2) My personal favorite. This dish Is served over a bed of cabbage, with vegetables. read more

Yum!!! Everyone knows (or should know) that hole-in-the-wall places like this usually deliver a 5star authentic experience. I'm thankful that my friends told me about this place otherwise I would have never known about it. It is very unassuming. Despite the exterior, this place was crowded with pick up orders and diners on a Saturday evening. My take out order took about 15 minutes to prepare and consisted of: chicken tikka masala, 2 orders of naan, and samosas. The total was just over $30 (not the cheapest.. but definitely worth it IMO). The food was fantastic! No complaints here. I ordered the tikka masala as a 1/10 spicy which had just the right amount of spice for me. This dish was packed with large chunks of tandoori chicken. The naan was perfect for dipping into the extra sauce. My favorite Indian spot in Charlotte. The portion was a decent size as well. My husband enjoyed his samosas. They were extra large and were filled with yummy potatoes and spices. We will certainly come back to curry gate and recommend to anyone that wants the best curry in town! read more

Was in Charlotte for the day and saw the insane amount of 5 star reviews so I had to give Curry Gate a try. It absolutely lived up to the hype! Curry Gate is a little hole in the wall with counter service and very limited seating, I counted 5 booths. All of your food is packaged in to-go containers, if you choose to eat in the restaurant they will give you some paper plates and a plastic fork. The food coming in to-go containers is very convenient because the portions are huge! I had the Butter Chicken and garlic naan and it was phenomenal! For spiciness level on a scale of 1-10 I asked for a 7 and it had a nice heat to it and wasn't unbearably hot, but I am use to eating spicy food. The cashier was very nice and checked with us to make sure the heat level was good after we got our food. The flavor of the sauce had a much more complex flavor than any other Indian restaurant I have tried. The garlic naan was crisp and was a perfect pairing. Definitely give them a shot if you like Indian food! read more
