Best Indian food in Charlotte. Lots of great options. Love their vegetable korma, bhindi masala, dum biryani, and 65!

If you want great, reasonably priced Indian food, this is the place to go. It's definitely a hole in the wall, but don't let that deter you. They offer some of the best Indian takeout I've had since moving to Charlotte. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala, spice level 7, and the chicken vindaloo, spice level 6, and garlic naan. Everything tasted great and was served hot. Their portions are huge and filling. If you need a little comfort food, I highly recommend you try here instead of your typically fast food joint. read more

Delicious momos and great service. Little hole in the wall - fast food style, great find!

Decided to take a chance on this new restaurant, and glad we did! We ordered delivery and everything was WONDERFUL... naan, vindalu, korma, dal tadka, biryani... highly recommend! Can't wait to visit in-person soon. read more

59 miles or approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes from my house, but if I'm going anywhere around Charlotte, I have to stop here to get my fix for Indian food. They will fix the spice heat at any level you're comfortable with.. after starting off at level 7, I had to back down to 5, which is still plenty spicy. Not a fancy restaurant by any stretch, but great food and worth my drive to get it! read more

We'd been hearing about Curry Gate for awhile and although we cook almost every meal we eat, we just were not in the mood. Called in our order and negotiated a 5 on the spice level. Kerry thought it looked like they used an Indian heat level. Boy was he right! We had a beef and a goat dish. Both had marvelous flavors, and we cook our own Indian curries from scratch. A 5 on the heat scale was near the top of our limit and we love hot food, so choose your spice level with care. read more

Flavorful and fast. My go to for Indian food in the Charlotte area. I was a bit confused by the spicy scale the first thing I ordered online, but since I like head I wasn't too concerned. That being said, if you order a 10...be prepared. read more

Fantastic hole- in- the wall place! Chicken 65 and chaat were fantastic. Dum biryani was good too. Would favor ordering a lower number on their spice scale if you don't have much of a spice tolerance. Can definitely eat here if they have room but only a few tables inside. Mukesh provided great service! Definitely will be back! read more

Best Indian food charlotte has ever seen. Impeccable service and cleanliness with food preparation that is consistent every time.

These guys are the real deal. If you're looking for some Indian food, stop looking and order from here because you're going to be shook how good it is. I've tried several curries from here and each are phenomenal; fresh and incredibly rich with flavor and a luscious gravy like texture. You will not be disappointed. read more

We are incredibly lucky to have this spot in Charlotte! The dishes and flavors are so authentic and the portions are large. My husband and I shared Samosa and MOMO as our appetizers, then I had a lamb curry entree and he had the dum biryani entree. We were both impressed with the spices and the heat. The staff had actually called us after placing an order online to ask how spicy we wanted our dishes. We love spicy so they also provided a chili sauce on the side which definitely packed the heat. Will definitely be going back to try more! read more

Don't go to dine in but do go for the most incredible takeout in the Asian/Indian space in charlotte. Mango Lassi, best ever; any of their fried rice, boom; all their Vegan dishes, money! You'll have food for days when you pickup your takeout. read more

Really wanted to like this place. The ratings look excellent and it's an affordable place near my neighborhood. Husband and I ordered dishes that are staples and while the food looked legit, it was lacking flavor. It was edible, just disappointed to have chicken tikka masala that was bland. read more

Easily the best North Indian food we have had in Charlotte. All our (also Indian) friends agree. Spice levels run hot so round down from your normal preference. read more

Definitely the best Indian food I have had in Charlotte. Not much to look at but the food is incredible. We chose to dine in and tried the Samosa chat, the chicken vindaloo, and dum biryani. They will ask you the spice level 1 to 10 we chose the five and it was perfect. read more

Excellent food! Get the Nepal Dumplings. They are amazing!

A HIDDEN GEM! This is a very unassuming place but don't let it fool you. They are cooking up superior quality food. I am indian and have lived in the states almost 20 years with countless disappointments with Indian food. This is the first time I have had chicken Tikka (outside of NY may be) that the chicken breast chucks were so tender, juicy and flavorful. The garlic naan was so good that even after cooling it didn't turn into rubber like most other indian places. If I were a betting women I would say that they won't be in this spot for long. The kind of food they are cooking they will soon be in a fancy and much deserving location. Get them before they have to jack up their prices. This foos is white cloth l, fancy wine and all that worthy. We will be going back and getting more. read more

We went here for take out. It's very authentic and so flavorful! The spice level is spot on so when they say the spice level is 8 ; it is a spicy 8. We've been in Charlotte for a week and have eaten out almost 3 times a day. This restaurant is by far one our top selections. Soooo good! read more

Picked up Chicken Biyarni, Samosas, Curry, and Naan. Great flavors/spice and staff was incredibly friendly. We will be returning again.

Amazing Food ! got it delivered a couple weeks back and so yummy, definitely recommending to friends.

This is my new favorite Indian place in Charlotte! I'm very picky about my Chicken Tikka and this place gets it just right with 10 different spice levels to customize it to whatever your taste might be. There is a parking lot with plenty of spots for pickup orders and the pricing is very reasonable given the quantity of food they give you. I was able to make the rice and chicken tikka last on my own for 2 BIG meals. read more

Finally tried this place and it was absolutely delicious. Split the vindalu chicken and makhani paneer and both were incredibly flavorful. Plenty of food to make a meal out of with the mound of rice they served with it. Plus they threw in a dessert for free - so nice of them (and also delicious). Highly recommend checking out Curry Gate! read more

This was my first time ever trying Indian food, I got chicken curry (spice level 3) & naan bread. The spice was perfect, you can choose levels 1-10. It was very creamy and had a really good amount of chicken, way more than I expected. It came with a rice so I ate both together. The naan was garlic flavored and was so amazing. 10/10 for a first try. read more

So hard to find REAL ethnic food in CLT! This is it!!! Don't let the location spook you. It's all good, man

Very expensive for what you get. Other comparable places are around 10 bucks and include things like naan. I got tikka masala which was fair, nothing to write home about. read more

Found this little gem on google, food was ready on time, there was so much food it was incredible. The guy working the front was super friendly and helpful. This will definitely be my new go-to spot for curry! read more

Best Indian in Charlotte. Portion sizes are huge. Flavors are amazing! Be careful with spice level, got a four and it was on my threshold. read more

Curry Gate - Indian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We'd just finished the Immersive Van Gogh exhibition at Camp North End, and as we always do when we're out at dinner time, we looked for nearby Indian restaurants. Curry Gate came up a short distance away; 2 minutes later we pulled up in the parking lot. The building is very unassuming, as was the inside, but everything was clean and neat. We ordered takeout Saag Paneer, Kadai Chicken, and Veggie Korma. Everything was ready in 20 minutes, bagged up tightly and ready for the long drive home where it was still hot when we arrived. Every dish was delicious, right up there with the best we've had in Charlotte, and in big portions. The only caveat we have is the level of spice. As others have noted, you might want to knock it back a notch. But this place is a gem and we'll definitely be visiting again. read more

They always deliver too notch service and the food is always amazing. 10/10! I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to try India food for the first time. read more

Awesome food Ordered it hot and it actually was hot, makes a change from all the other Indian restaurants in Charlotte. That's also a warning read more

Really solid curry, samosa chaat and garlic naan. Would like to try more but I'll probably just order the same thing next time.

Order was ready on time. Good flavor and spicy levels. Quantity was good enough. Chicken tandoori and momos is our favourites

I don't think an Indian spot in town compares. The food is absolutely delicious! Had the tikka masala with garlic naan. Will definitely be coming back read more

Excellent food! I'm new to this city and read many reviews for Indian food. Now I know where to get my fix. The people were friendly and customer service was great. Portion size was large and I like that they have a scale of 1-10 on how spicy you want your curry. Naan was fresh and all of my food was hot, packaged correctly and correct when I got it home. You will not be disappointed. The food was tasty. read more

I have eaten here 3 times and my goal is to try everything on the menu. It's delicious and very efficient in a Covid way. Delivery is timely and affordable. Online ordering is simple. Everything is packed perfectly. I had the chicken MOMO dumplings and they are wonderful, I could eat 100. I previously had the Mutter pander, wonderful and the Tonka Marsala, also very good. I ordered spice level 4 and it had some kick so be careful what level you order. Neighborhood is in the process of gentrification and has a way to go, slightly sketchy at night. I recommend a day trip for your first visit or order delivery. It's nice to have other choices besides pizza, Vietnamese or over priced American food in the area. read more

Best middle eastern place I tried in Charlotte. As of now this is my go-to place for Indian. Highly recommended.

So happy with pick up order - servings are massive and I will get at least three meals from one order. I asked for Spice Level 9 and that is what I got! Perfect seasoning - wonderfully spicy!! Everything was carefully well packaged and the mango lassi was delicious - I will be ordering again in the next few days. read more

Unassuming spot you may be tempted to drive by. Nothing fancy, just good food at a reasonable price. The food is as good as any top rated Indian Restaurant we have had to eat in Charlotte. I'd be remiss not to mention that the staff is extremely welcoming and nice which adds to the visit in a good way. read more

Very disappointed with this place. After reading so many great reviews and deciding to make a long journey to taste the famous Chicken Tikka Masala came to a great disappointment. This was a takeout order. The portion was very small, it was not in a regular take-out container but rather in a small round, restaurant leftovers take-home container. For $20 there were 3 small pieces of chicken in a one inch deep by five inch wide round container of tikka masala sauce. The rice portion was also very small and less than one serving size. The sauce was lacking flavor and tasted as if it was straight out of a can of tomato sauce. The chicken did not taste like it was seasoned before it was put into the sauce that was also not seasoned. There was not enough of flavor that would balance out the very strong acidic tomato sauce. Any place serving food in such small portions at such cost, should be making the dish into a masterpiece, which this was not. I give this place a D - for disappointing, 1-star for the effort. read more

Most authentic Indian food And best Briyani I've ever had. Eating this food brings me back to my childhood; the aroma and the flavors. This has to be the #1 spot in Charlotte. read more
