I ordered the mild tikka masala, garlic naan and mild Punjabi samosas. The tikka masala was so flavorful, it had a little spice to it. I would order the medium next time because I like a lot of spice. The chicken was really tender and the sauce was super creamy. The garlic naan was also really good. I loved the samosas as well. They were nice and mild and paired well with the sweet tamarind sauce. Overall, the food was amazing and I will definitely come back soon!

For the main course, we ordered mutton rogan josh, which was just okayish , along with butter and plain naan. The wait time was a bit long, but they had already told us it would take 25 minutes. Definitely worth a visit!

Formerly, The Peppers We were in the area and could smell…read morethe wonderful spices coming from Byrani. We decided to give them a try. To our surprise it was their 2nd day grand opening. We were immediately greeted by smiles and had our choice of seating being the first ones in on a Thursday. I previously visited this establishment when they were under the name The Peppers. All of the decor and furnishings had been refurbished and looked new and clean. They even have a bakery stocked with lots of Indian desserts and pastries. We ordered our food and it did not take long to come out. The entree was in a silver dish. I initially thought the portion was really small. When I plated my rice and poured the chicken on top, there was more for at least 2 more servings. The silver dish kept the masala heat hot the entire time we were there. A+ I ordered the chatpat as an appetizer, not really knowing what to expect. It was fried corn with peanuts. I will only say try it for yourself, I didn't like it. The manager, Ayan, was super friendly. He kept checking on us to make sure we were enjoying our food and checking to see if we needed anything. I also ordered the Mango Lasse, it was fresh and delicious. When we were ready to pay our bill. Ayan came and boxed up our left overs for us. This was a really nice gesture. I will surely be going back to try other options on the menu.

Great colorful decor and a pretty outside patio area too. Ample parking which is also always key for me. The owner frequented our table after to make sure everything' was good and we enjoyed it, always love that. Means they genuinely love their place. The place was busy after we got there and had a lot of take out going . We went with a few different dishes. They have plenty of choices for vegetarian and meat eaters. Also have a full bar, beer, wine and cocktails. The vegetable Manchurian was nice and hot in temperature. Nice spice level too. Lots of veggies in the wonderful sauce. Yum. I had the chicken vindaloo which is my go to . Extra hot and served with basmati rice this had a great spicy sauce and plenty of chicken and potatoes in it. Definitely could share it or have another meal . The garlic naan was really good and fluffy and came straight from the tandoor hot. Also had the chicken tikka masala on the table. Mild spice level and good amount of spice and I love the color of everything. Food took awhile to come out but it's worth it. The owner also sent us over a plate of a spongy chick peas flour savory cake off the menu . Super nice ! Fluffy spicy cake . Delicious and so nice of him! I've had this at home before but this was a nice version of it. Had a great dinner here. Always nice to discover a new Indian away from home. They seem to have the business down pat.

I recently tried Red Chillez Indian Cuisine and honestly had a pretty mixed experience overall. The…read morerestaurant itself had a nice atmosphere and the service was decent, but the food did not fully live up to expectations. The Gobi Manchurian was cooked far too crispy to the point where it felt hard and overfried instead of having that perfect balance of crunch and softness inside. The Malai Kofta was another disappointment because the kofta itself had a stretchy texture and tasted like it may not have been freshly made, though I will say the curry surrounding it was actually very flavorful, creamy, and enjoyable with good spice balance. Unfortunately, the naan was extremely dry and lacked the soft, buttery texture you would normally expect from fresh naan at an Indian restaurant. The Paneer Biryani also had an overwhelmingly strong masala flavor that completely dominated the dish and made it difficult to enjoy the other flavors or the paneer itself. Overall, there were a few good elements here and there, especially some of the curry flavors, but the food quality and textures across multiple dishes made the experience feel inconsistent.

Mint is great! After a disappointing Christmas lunch at Chetola's Timberlake restaurant we were…read morehungry for dinner; one of the only places open was Mint. Although it was packed we were able to grab seats at the bar and had a great meal. Staff were wonderful and the manager, who was wearing several hats in the rush, was really friendly and interested in making sure we had a good time and good meal. Thinking this will be a new holiday tradition for us. Don't miss the rosemary naan!

Lost count of the number of people who said Mint is their favorite restaurant in Boone haha!…read moreEverything I got was delicious. The palak (spinach) paneer was flavorful & creamy, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the naan was super fluffy; the lunch combo also comes with a salad, which was pretty standard. Also got to try a little bit of other's okra curry and the tandoori trio, both of which were tasty. Can't comment on ambiance or service since we got takeout. 9/10 would recommend!

The inside had enough seating for people and service was good. Although I think our server could have paid a bit more attention to us in terms of refilling our water. But it is a fairly chill atmosphere inside. We got the Gobi 65, Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani, Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Mango Lassi. The Gobi 65 at mild spice still had a slight kick to it, but it was very flavorful! I really enjoyed it. The Chicken Tikka Masala tasted very buttery and not as spicy as I wanted it to be (asked for medium spice), so it makes me wonder if they accidentally gave me the wrong dish... like Butter Chicken? Otherwise, it was alright. Lots of bell peppers inside the dish and the chicken was cut into small pieces. The Garlic Naan was super garlicky which I loved and tasted great being dipped in the Chicken Tikka Masala. For the Mango Lassi, it came pre-packaged in this small bottle. It tasted fine, but not as sweet as I wanted it to be. My friend liked the Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani, which came in a massive bowl. Overall, I enjoyed the food here. Although I kind of want to get the Chicken Tikka Masala again and see if it tastes less buttery and more spicy next time. I would come back to try the other items on the menu!

Spinach flavor did not overwhelm the dish and paneer was still a firm consistency. Chef got the heat amount just right. We usually like it spicy, more than the usual American palate but since we were flying I asked for my Saag med- hot and it was just a nice bit of bite. Definitely not a Nepali med- hot but more an American med- hot if you're trying to gauge it! Chef gave us extra naan as he wasn't happy with the way the first naan turned out ( they were fine) - how refreshing is that? Next time I will try the momos! Our lovely server was the icing on the cake- attentive, kind and informative. Thankful we found this gem in Charlotte. Will search it out when we fly in again!

I wasn't impressed with the doughiness of the Samosa casing but that could have been due to the Styrofoam trapping condensation. However, the chicken was flavorful and indulgent. It was rich and creamy with a robust tomato accent. They serve a daily lunch buffet. Its open so you can mix and match protiens and sauce flavors.

5 stars for the food but 0 stars for the takeout containers!!!…read more It had been a while since I'd ordered from Passage, and I have to say the food still tastes just as amazing as I remember it from past years. However, since they are now a takeout-only restaurant, they really need to stop cheaping out on packaging!!! The flimsy cardboard containers they use for their most popular dishes, like the Chicken Tikka Masala, have lids that are extremely clumsy to take off and tighten due to the heat trapped inside. They practically explode when opened. I was sitting down to enjoy my dinner, but ended up having to emergency do laundry instead... The lid sprayed my shirt with a huge splatter of sauce as it opened.
