    chicken Tikka
    Carol R.

    Always delicious. Samosa chaat and traditional curry are our usuals. Tried the chicken tikka (dry not masala) this time. It was pretty good, but will stick with the curry entree next time. Large portions means looking forward to leftovers. Food came in a nice, reusable to go bag

    Really good indian food and great service! I ordered the chicken tikka masala and loved it. It also came with so much food!! Will definitely be back.

    Garlic Naan
    Moira L.

    We've ordered from this location several times. We've ordered a variety of their dishes in the past but tonight we ordered the Garlic Naan Bread, Chana Masala, Palak Paneer, Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala. It was all flavorful, but I feel like the containers were not as full as they have been in the past. The Butter Chicken had small sized diced chicken and the Tikka Masala had bigger chunks of chicken. We are a family of 4 and I normally get 2 servings for each of us out of their meals but tonight we had hardly any left from the order we placed. The sauces are delicious! I can eat that alone with the Basmati Rice. I was a bit disappointed on the lack of chicken in the main dishes as there was an abundance more of the sauce than the protein. Overall, it was a good dinner for our family.

    Chilli chicken was spicy made my legs sweat but it was excellent...Mango lassi wasnt super sweet but it was just right... Korma and butter chicken looked the same tasted the same not bad but couldn't even tell which was which....Veg Biryani wasnt bad either but could have been better...Service excellent and the place was clean

    Tasty and delicious, we are slowly eating our way through Charlotte's South Asian restaurants. Curry Gate 2 was a hit. This time, we're eating at dinner time so with my chicken curry and my wife's vegetarian curry, we were able to enjoy the garlic and chilli naan. Good sized portions and the spice levels worked well here. For us 2 and 3 were just right for some burn but enough that we could still taste the flavor. Of course, half of it went home in containers because there's quite a lot. Friendly service, clean restaurant, good food. It's five stars.

    This place has been on my bucket list for a while now so I'm so glad I was finally able to give it a try and I was not disappointed! They have both Indian and Nepalese dishes, but for our visit, my friends and I got the Indian dishes (chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and chana masala) with some garlic and butter naan on the side. Two side portions of rice were brought out for us to share as well. Everything was super delicious and flavorful. I like how you can customize the spice levels and it'll definitely add some heat so proceed with caution. I also thought that everything was decently portioned. I only finished about half of my tikka masala dish and had the other half to take home. Our server was Puja, and she was super sweet! Very attentive and efficient as well. She thoroughly explained the spice levels and answered any questions that we had. She made sure we were well taken care of! If you're looking for Indian or Nepalese food in the area, definitely give Curry Gate a try as you will not be disappointed. I can't wait to return to try other dishes!

    Tikka Masala & Butter/Makhani Chicken
    Henry L.

    This was my first time eating at this location and it didn't disappoint! I typically get the Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken as my top choices for Indian food. The mango lassi was good if you like yogurt and mango. This will taste a bit sour. The service was fast and the staff were friendly. Ambiance is chill and causal. If you're in the south blvd area check them out!

    Food is AMAZING!!! Stumbled across this place while killing time and stopped in for a bit. My favorite is the chicken tikka masala with rice and a side of garlic naan. Everything came out in a timely manner, hot and well prepared. The service was ok, wasn't too busy today. The ambiance is also pretty decent, nothing spectacular to really tell about. It is clean inside and plenty seating.

    Vindaloo
    Tania L.

    We found this gem, and let me tell you--it was amazing! As empty nesters, we love trying top-rated restaurants, and Curry Gate 2 did not disappoint. We didn't feel like cooking, so we decided to check it out, and we're so glad we did. If you're a lover of curry and spicy food, this is your spot! We went in person to order takeout and were immediately greeted by the most delicious aroma. The gentleman at the register was incredibly helpful, making sure we got the perfect spice level--not too much, not too light. We ordered the Vindaloo, Korma, Chili Garlic Naan, and Tandoori Chicken--everything was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Even though the place was packed, the service was great, and everything ran smoothly. Next time, we'll definitely be dining in because this place deserves to be fully enjoyed! Curry Gate 2 is a gem that should not be overlooked.

    Compared to the original, the second Curry Gate is a bit more of a restaurant with traditional table service. It's nothing fancy; it looks like a repurposed Pizza Hut, but the food they're producing is vastly better than the Hut, and the smell wafts over to the train station nearby. My mulligatawny soup had some delightful green peas to liven it up. My okra, however, was really lively due to me getting 8/10 on the spice scale. I like chili peppers as much as the next guy, but I didn't want to go any spicier than that, as an 8/10 was plenty enough to clear my sinuses. An abundance of vegan options are available, as are some Nepali specialties. Drink options are limited, and they're bringing out a bottled water for free for some reason, but you'll not likely find better food of this sort in this area.

    Food was amazing! Everything was cooked well and was perfectly spiced. It was really disappointing that you had to purchase bottled water. The food is spicy and like to have lots of water. I didn't want to have to purchase multiple bottles. I think they would greatly benefit by adding fountain drinks. The service was standard, nothing special. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Next time I will definitely order take out.

    Was in the mood for Indian food. Since I've seen quite a few reviews on social media, my husband…read moreand I decided to try this place out. We started with an order on samosas which were really good and they had a nice kick. We did chicken biryani and the nalan special curry and naan bread. Everything was really good and packed with flavor. Will definitely return! Tara was our waitress a d was really nice!

    It's been awhile since we had Indian, so I made reservations for a Saturday night…read more.. Immediately, I liked how the place had a nice, comfy vibe with good A/C and great, relaxing overhead music. The hostess was also on top of things, in that she read the reservation notes, and led us to a choice seat by the wall. The waiter assigned to us was very attentive and courteous. So all around, I felt the ambiance and service was very good. Now the food! We decided to share everything and ordered various items: Garlic Naan, Pakora Brussels Sprouts, Chicken Biryani and Nalan Chicken Curry, which came with white rice. Of everything ordered, my favorite was the Biryani. First of all, the portion was HUGE...enough to feed 4. I liked the long grain rice, and the flavor was good. I was a bit puzzled by the presentation though. All the chicken was buried underneath. Also, way too much onion garnishing on top...which I didn't find appetizing or aesthetically pleasing either. Think I would have liked this better if some veggies were included (not just the onions...possibly my least favorite veggie?). This has been my running criticism with Indian foods... I appreciate the flavors, but I don't like how the tasty veggies are rarely included (or barely visible!) in the entrees. We both enjoyed the Garlic Naan (just wished there were a bit more?), and Brussels Sprouts had a good flavor, but the batter was so hard and thick, it was hard to eat (could barely use the fork for this). So frankly, I didn't love the texture of this fried veggie appetizer. As for the Chicken Curry, I just didn't love the flavor. It was very different though. In the past, I always opted for Chicken Tikala...and I definitely prefer the more buttery flavor of that over this special curry. Guess I liked some of the foods...but not all. Despite being underwhelmed with some of the foods, we still enjoyed the overall dining experience here...and would likely return. I think I'll be trying other items on the menu though.

So I made it a point to order some. It did not disappoint. The naan had a delicious smoked flavor to it. I ordered the goat vindaloo. You can choose from three levels of spice and true to form I went theory the hottest. The goat was very tender. The serving was large and I had to take half of it to go. Some minor criticisms that did not impact my rating: the amount of basmati that comes with the meal is disproportionately small compared with the entree. $4 for raita seems a bit excessive. There were a few bug issues - they need better pest control (might just be because of summer and thankfully it was just a beetle and a couple flies that were flitting about). At any rate the food was outstanding and I plan to return again soon.

The last couple of times I've been was with my work group. We ordered several items for our table and then we also ordered entrées. Each time I visited this location everything is very nice and clean and the food as spicy as it is is very well seasoned and tasty. All of the sauces and curry creams were cooked to perfection hot in temperature not too hot to enjoy. Our servers were very kind and patient and courteous to us as we made our decisions. They also made perfect combination for our selections. And the best selections for drinks and desserts. Since then, I've even ordered on Uber eats and my food came just as perfect. This is a great go to place for good Indian food. If you're in the uptown area it's located below the Green parking lot, which is across from the Knight theater.
