I loved their first location and I love the second location even more because there are more seats! The food is great. The service is fast and friendly. And the ambiance is casual. My wife and I had a double date with our favorite foodies so we ordered much of the menu and shared everything. We ordered and shared the following: Samosa Chaat Gobi 65 Veg Momo Chicken Makhani Bhindi Masala Chana Masala Onion Kulcha Garlic Naan Chili Naan It's hard to pick a favorite but gun to my head I'd say the Chicken Makhani. Although, I think I'd get paneer next time instead. read more

Curry Gate - Chicken Korma & Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I was craving some good Indian food so I stopped by Curry Gate. This place did not disappoint. To start we had the assorted appetizer which was delicious. I had the chicken Tikka Masala which was very good and rich in flavor. My spouse ordered the Palak with Paneer and absolutely loved it. The garlic naan was amazing, I think I could have eaten that all night long it was so good. Our server DK was so friendly and was absolutely wonderful. She checked on us multiple times and even made sure to check on the spice levels of the food and even offering to bring additional spice if needed. Will definitely be back here again soon! read more

Curry Gate is always a good idea. My husband and I love their other location so we were excited to try this new location and be able to dine in. We went with two other friends and shared: - Veg Momo - Samosa Chaat - Gobi 65 - Chicken Makhani - Chana Masala - Bhindi Masala You can't go wrong at Curry Gate. Everything was delicious. I've never been a big fan of Okra, but the Bhindi Masala was my favorite thing we got! You can customize your spice level. We got 4 which is still very spicy in some dishes (the Gobi 65 especially). This is one of the few places in Charlotte you can get momo, so they're a must for me. This is one of my favorite spots for Indian food in Charlotte. Make sure to check out their new location! read more

Finally visited Curry Gate after several years of discussing it. It did not disappoint! We had the Chicken 65 biryani and some momos. Both were delicious and the portions large enough to share. Everyone was extremely friendly, and it made for a great evening. We'll be back for sure! read more

Very friendly. Food was excellent! Wish they had one on the north side of Charlotte.

The food is AWESOME! Move over Blue Taj and Coppers as this spot has the best Indian cuisine in Charlotte. The food is beautifully prepared and ever so wonderfully seasoned. This was my 4 visit and my favorite dishes are chili chicken and Manchurian chicken meatballs. The chefs do incredible jobs with spices and flavors and presentation. This is a 5 star experience. Puja will most likely greet you; she's truly amazing. Ken and Iris Flamer read more

Wow! This place is low key but seriously beyond amazing. Every thing I tasted was delicious and authentic. The service was great, Shanti had excellent suggestions on spiciness level as well as on the popular menu items. I got the "65" and the Makhani (butter) goat with plain naan. I also ordered a Nepali tea, which meshed beautifully with the textures and spices on the plates. The place has a very straightforward ambiance with delicate background Indian music. This is now my go-to place for Indian/Nepali food. read more

This is my second time at this establishment and it will not be my last. Sai was amazing. She is an amazing server with her very outgoing personality. She catered to our every need and made us feel very welcomed. The food was amazing. We ordered Shrimp briyani, shrimp curry, okra masala, vegetable momos, and chicken momos. (they need longer tables lol) Everything was amazing per usual. I suggest spice level 2 is you can't handle spicy food, but still want a kick. As far as the environment, it's very pleasant. Very casual and good for the whole family. I also love that they serve bottled drinks, so you can just carry them out when you leave. In short, 5 star service all around. I will be back very soon. Thank you read more

They shorted my Naan bread on my take out order. Frustrating to pay for items you don't get. I also ordered the Lamb Biryani. It was good. Ordered 3 on spice level. It was good heat. I would not go higher unless you eat a lot of Indian food. read more

Excellent food and service! Great selection of Vegan and vegetarian options. We'll be back.

THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN CHARLOTTE! Hands down. I love that it's authentic Indian food. The curry flavors and the dishes they have are amazing. I think it's hard to find a spot that has as much charm and authenticity as curry gate but they nailed it. The service was spot on. They were very patient with my friend and I who could not decide what we wanted to try. Explained the flavors and the dishes to help us make the right decision. The makhani butter chicken is some of the best I've tried in the charlotte area. We got the fried okra and the garlic naan and chicken momo (dumplings) that were spot on. The flavors were delicious in each bite. I can't wait to come back and try something else! read more

Went on a Sunday evening and got in right before the dinner rush. It's an assuming little place right off of south boulevard with plenty of parking. Walked in and was seated right away, service was quick and attentive. On this trip I decided to go for the samosas, gobi Manchurian (spice level 8), and lamb vindaloo (spice 7). The samosas were good but not great, I prefer mine with seasoning on the outside. The gobi manchurian was awesome and I couldn't stop eating it, extremely flavorful and had a nice crunch on the outside which I loved. To finish the meal, the lamb vindaloo hit the spot. The lamb was perfectly cooked and so tender you could break it apart by thinking about it. Loved this vindaloo especially because it wasn't overly oily at all like some places serve. Spice warning I've got a pretty good spice tolerance and levels 7 and 8 were perfect for me. If you don't have a good spice tolerance definitely play it safe and go somewhere on the lower half of their scale of 10. Overall great place would definitely come here again. My only complaint is that after I finished it took me ~20 minutes to get the check. Not sure whatever the reason but I couldn't get anyone's attention even they would walk right by my table, pretty frustrating. read more

Food was delicious but I prefer the service at their 24th street location. Our server seemed disinterested. She brought bottled water without asking which they do charge you for! She seemed bothered when we asked about some dishes and didn't come to check on us once the food arrived. We had to go to ask for the bill at the counter. The place was empty expect for one table that was half done where we came in and other people. I would go back for the food if it's a Sunday since 24th street is closed but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

I've heard a lot of this spot place, I finally had the chance to check it out. This definitely gives my favorite Indian restaurant a run for its money. We started with the onion pakoras for an appetizer, the portion was huge! For our entrees, we ordered the dum biryani and Manchurian gravy with chicken, and chili garlic naan. The Manchurian, with its unique blend of Indo-Chinese flavors, was our favorite. The biryani and naan are classics and didn't disappoint. We were offered a sample of their gulab jamun, a traditional Indian dessert consisting of fried dough balls soaked in sweet syrup. It was a great way of finishing our meal and a thoughtful gesture. If you haven't already, I highly recommend checking out this spot. read more

Never in a million years would I have thought I would find one of the best Indian/Nepali Curry restaurants in North Carolina of all places... but I did. Traveling to NC for work, I ate at Curry Gate 3 times. I wish I had more time/chances to eat there again... The Tikka Masala and Butter Curries were thick, rich, flavorful and creamy. Paired with Garlic Naan and Basmati Rice these meals were heavenly. They have true spice, so be weary if you order something hotter than a Level 4 (out of 10). Operating out of an old Pizza Hut, there was a sort of nostalgia eating inside the restaurant. Their staff were super friendly and courteous, and the food came fairly quickly. I ordered take out twice and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their insulated take-out bags. To the point that I actually saved them to bring back home to remember the great food I had. I really want to thank the staff there for providing quality food and service. I really hope more people will stumble across your restaurant and experience amazing curry dishes like I have. read more

Prices were not bad either for the portions that were served. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

I finally tried this location! The lady who took my order was nice and helpful when I asked for descriptions. I ordered to go so I didn't really get the whole sit down experience! I got The half Tandoori Chicken spice level 3 w/ garlic naan. I was taken by surprise when they said it didn't come with any sides like rice or vegetables. But I'm not sure if that's a cultural thing. So I ended up eating it with the naan bread, red onions, & some tzatziki dip I already had. The chicken had a nice earthy herby flavor. Level 3 was the perfect "mild" spice to me. I could still taste the other flavors it was giving. The naan wasn't the best today it was a bit burnt and chewy. Next time I think I'll stick to my main dish which is the chicken curry spice level 4. But I'll for sure be back! read more

Curry Gate - Tandoori Chicken - Half Portion w/ Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I ordered a samosa chat and Kashmiri naan. Food was good and hot when I picked it up. They packaged it really well and even had thermal insulated togo bags. The samosa chat was very flavorful and served warm which I liked. Was definitely enough for two-three meals. The naan was just okay. It was very thin and had a slight baking soda flavor. Not much taste for naan with dried fruit and cashew in it. I've had naan that was fluffier which I prefer. Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely try them again. read more

We ordered delivery through door dash from here - and overall we really liked it! Chicken 65 - was spicy and flavorful. My husband said it was one of his favorite versions of this dish. Saag paneer - ordered at a level 7 spice - delicious, creamy .. and spicy just like we like. Curry paneer - a little sweet, but delicious nonetheless. The naan was surprisingly the bummer - it was dry and tasted stale. Also unfortunately our to go order was delivered with no utensils. read more

Order take out - was on time with eta The curry spice level seemed milder than the OG location, maybe because this location is meant to be a sit down and tamer version. Overall, still one of my fav Indian spot now chain and it's closer to me than having to go all the way to the east side. - chicken tikka: classic - Manchurian gravy: this is a cross between Chinese and Indian flavors, definitely worth trying. It's savory with a hint of sweetness Skip the naan - needs more work, not fluffy at all read more

Service has become an issue when you order online and food is not ready it is distracting . You wait 30 plus min when picking up online orders. They never seem to have the order ready on time and it is not a one occasion but repeatable . Food is good but service is unsatisfactory. No compensation for the inconvenience either. read more

They are LGBTQ friendly. Totally chill and cool ambiance. Great environment for all cultures and people.

Best Indian in Charlotte. And the nicest people run it. Go here from Columbia. Butter chicken is the best and the spices are right on. Food always hot and plentiful. Two of us order three dishes and naan and always have take home. read more

It is without question that I fell in love with Curry Gate. So much so, I want to gain further education on Indian cuisine and am choosing this restaurant as the place to start. Curry Gate offers soups, appetizers, Tandoori specialties, Tandoori breads, and a nice selection of entrees and desserts. You can also add spice to your dishes based on your desired spice level (and tolerance). SAMOSA - Deep fried savory pastry stuffed with vegetables - This was my second time having a samosa and my first time having one at Curry Gate. It is every bit of the word delicious from the crispiness of the pastry (that crunch!) and the smooth taste of the filling - MANDATORY. ALOO GOBI- Cauliflower and potato cooked with homemade spice - Somehow I missed eating this dish, but when I return to Curry Gate on one of my many upcoming visits, I will report back the findings of my taste buds. PALAK PANEER - Spinach cooked w/ cheese & ice cream - A classic curry dish, that made me say, "ooh," at the very first taste. LOVED IT. - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA - Tandoori boneless chicken cooked in rich tomato based gravy w/ spices - This was my favorite entrée at the very first bite. Perhaps it's due to the dash of sweetness, but the bottom line is that it was AMAZING. - MANDATORY. CHILI CHICKEN - Fried chicken bites cooked with fried onion, bell pepper with a sautéed sauce - This dish is for all the spice lovers. What I tried I consider to be between a spice level 2-3, which was perfect for me. Aside from the taste, I loved the texture of the chicken. - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. NAAN - Flour dough baked in a tandoori oven - You can't go wrong with this bread. It's CLASSIC. - MANDATORY. read more

This restaurant is such a hidden gem. This new location has plenty of seating, beautiful ambiance and free parking. The food is flavorful, full of spices and simply delicious. This was my first time trying Indian cuisine so the staff was very polite in explaining each dish and it's ingredients. The service here is impeccable and I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Curry Gate offers a wide selection of flavorful entrees. Here are a few of our favorite dishes: Aloo Gobi - Cauliflower and potatoes marinated and slow-cooked to perfection Chicken Tikka Masala - Chicken based in tomato gravy, so tender and juicy Samosa - Fried stuffed pastry full of vegetables - 10/10 Palak Paneer - Cooked Spinach with cheese (so good) Chili Chicken ( A Must Try) Fried Chicken smothered in sautéed tomato sauce with onions and peppers They also have authentic Indian drinks and desserts too! read more

Massive, tasty portions, good enough to share. We come here often and always take home some food. Curry is to die for. My son loves the lamb biryani, also a massive portion that can be shared with at least 2 people. Naan bread is fresh. Clean tables and bathrooms. Service is fast, and servers are helpful. We have been for both lunch and dinner, and same type of quality and service. There is no liquor here but does not matter as the star here is the food. read more
