I thought this was a very good spot. It competes with so many good similar restaurants in the area BUT it has a full bar. The menu is large and while I think there is room to explain more of the dishes for those who are not familiar, I think overall it is a good spot for the novice Indian food goer. It was not busy for lunch but service was good and the food came out hot and quickly. I was with some novice eaters, so multiple Tikka Masala's hit the table but they all enjoyed what they ordered. The restaurant itself is nicely done and clean. I'll definitely go back to try some other dishes. read more

Located in the former Bombay Grill, Mystic Spice is beautifully decorated and spacious. I was surprised to see it so empty when we arrived but perhaps that was due to it being right before a holiday weekend. I had seen rave reviews about the naan. 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. read more

Mystic Spice - Goat vindaloo with garlic naan and raita - Indian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The food was good. I got the chili chicken and it was pretty flavorful. The small appetizer does not come with any rice so be sure to order a side of it. Owner is good, very informative. Ambiance, it's nice inside. read more

So, we were searching for a new restaurant to try, and found this one - so we immediately planned on eating here. We reached quite early, I guess just minutes after its opening, so we were perhaps the 2nd table to be filled. Our server was a familiar face (we have seen her at other Indian restaurants in past). We were greeted promptly and were seated. We ordered chicken lollipop for appetizer after server explained how the preparation is (we've tried something like that in India and wanted to give it stab, knowing that this is more North Indian preparation I was really hoping lollipop is like how I'm thinking it to be) - and sure enough, it was tasty and how I expected it. For entree curry we took servers recommendation and it was traditional curry that was really tasty. We also ordered aloo paratha for my toddler, we asked for it to be more home style so he doesn't refuse eating it. While paratha was good, I was shocked it was just 1-piece for that price. We also ordered noodles - it was nice but not the best indo-Chinese noodles. Onion kulcha was very tasty. Owner was nice, she saw our toddler needed entertainment so she brought some crayons and sheet to color - very thoughtful! Masala papad was tasty too. I experimented their mango lassi cocktail and it was funky - haha... I won't order it again, but if you are like me and curious, go for it. Overall a great find, I hope they keep up with the taste and quality. read more

Amazing food. Loved the chicken 65 and the fried cauliflower! It's really a cut above the rest.

We came as a group of 10 for a birthday. They sat us by the door and there were 2 other doors nearby that were not in use but still produced a cold draft. (It's November). We kept on our light jackets and wished we could have been tucked back further into the restaurant. We asked for different seating, but they refused even though we were the ONLY people in the restaurant at the time. The guy said "We set it up there." I had the lentil dumplings called Bhalla Supreme for an appetizer and they were good. However, I did not like them bringing it AT THE SAME TIME AS MY MEAL. Be sute to make it clear that you want your app BEFORE your meal. It seems many Indian places are doing this, so sometimes I won't give them my entree order until they bring out my appetizer. For my entree, I got the lamb korma level 3 and it was also good. Spice level is 1 to 3. 3 was at the top of my spice tolerance. If you can't take very hot, be safe and order level 2. We sampled chicken tikka and chicken lollipop. Highly recommend the chicken lollipop. It was crispy and flavorful. The mango lassi was served in a tall, thin glass and was very good. A friend of mine from India got the chole at a level 3 and it was too spicy for her to eat it. I forget the name of the bread she got with it, but it reminded me of an elephant ear you get at the Fair without the powdered sugar. For dessert we had mashed/ pureed warm spiced carrots with almonds. It was very good. Our waitress was pleasant and the owner is very nice. An 18% tip is added for groups. We had no trouble splitting the bill individually. read more

I went here tonight with a group of 12 co-workers for dinner and had an amazing experience! We ordered several appetizers plus main courses and shared everything around the table. The service was equally amazing and they recommended several choices for us which were all absolutely delicious. Several people in our group are from India and they all loved the food as well. I have eaten at several Indian restaurants around the country and this one is definitely one of the best I have tried so far. I live in Seattle and am here on business so sadly, I can't come back any time soon. If you live in Charlotte, you must give this place a try! read more

First time here. Ordered tandoori chicken. By far the smallest, barest dish I've had at any other local Indian restaurant. 3 small pieces. Other local places give 5-6. Not recommended. read more

I recently visited this place, a week after they opened. I was warmly greeted by the waiter, who was very helpful and quickly took my order while recommending the sunrise mocktail drink, which was nice and refreshing. As far as the food, I ordered the standard butter chicken, since this is a Punjabi-owned restaurant, I figured that would be a safe choice. The butter chicken gravy was tasty; however, the chicken itself was quite firm in texture. This could be improved. The complementary rice is nice, but adding a little bit of cumin or some flavor could certainly boost it. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I especially appreciate the slightly elevated ambience . A lot of Indian restaurants miss the mark when it comes to ambience, but this one definitely has a nice vibe, not too formal, not too casual just right. read more

FYI: the sanitation rating was like 91.5 I believe, but the food was 100%! My husband has added Mystic spice as a favorite. The salmon tika is one of the best we've tried. The butter chicken tastes great . When ordering online, there's an option for baby mild spice. The food is delicious. The food tastes authentic. I don't care for the online fee when ordering from their website. The naan and lassi are both good, and priced well. I wasn't too fond of the lentil and spinach vegetarian dish. Overall, the whole family enjoyed their meals. read more

Terrible service, bad food and 100% overpriced. Should have been issued a refund. It isn't difficult to make good food if you care. read more

MUST try! service was excellent, food came out hot and steaming and most importantly, FRESH. i tired the cosmopolitan for my drink, and it was a 10/10. the chicken 65 and fish tikka (salmon) was perfect :) read more

All I can say first is I want to go back and eat here again today. Our whole family loves Indian cuisine. We try every indian restaurant. We loved and ate the food so fast no pictures really. I started with a Salted Masala Spiced Lassi which was over the top. Basically, every Salted Lassi I have had before has had salt and cumin, this was an entirely different recipe of spices, with a fresh cilantro leaf on top. I literally could of dipped all my food in it, however their food was so good, it barely needed the chutneys that came with the food. Something for everyone, thankfully lots of vegetarian choices and plant-based. Home-made tasting Paneer, like nothing you have ever tasted before. Try everything, all the various Gobi, the Dal variations were amazing. The Naan was outstanding. Service was an A+. Go early, they fill up fast! read more

First time there and we tried the palak paneer, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. All of it was delicious, spiced and seasoned well. Chicken was tender and the palak paneer was some of the best we've had. They give large portion sizes (great to share) and we ended up taking home plenty of leftovers. Server was fantastic and friendly. Only feedback would be to work on a faster kitchen time. Overall, enjoyed the meal and would highly recommend checking them out! read more

We visited to enjoy some Indian spices and aroma. Food came after some wait - True to its name, spices were mystery as we could not experience any in our food. I understand I had asked for medium level chilies but that should not have caused all other spices to disappear. Decor was good. Server was attentive. But that is where it stopped. Very disappointed. read more

Once again go try Mystic Spice - Beautiful venue - wonderful Service and just the most incredible Indian Food In NC! Had all the good dishes last night - Paneer , Cauliflower, Dumplings , Dal and delicious Naan ! Everything is so very tasty and cooked to your degree of spice ! Please Go !! You will love it ! read more

Mystic Spice has a great ambience and the menu was huge. I had my go-to order of butter chicken and garlic naan. I was kind of disappointed in the dish...there was hardly any chicken in a big bowl of sauce! I even said something to the server and they just shrugged and said that's how the dish is. For the price I paid I expected more. Not sure I will go back or not. read more

The food was very tasty. They did charge for extra rice. The service was very indifferent to helping us or recommending what they make best. I did have a friend say they had a good time here, so may have been an off night. read more

Food taste was authentic North Indian, spice levels were just right. Vegetarians will find many options on the menu. read more

Another visit to my favorite Mystic Spice, an amazing Indian restaurant known for its rich, flavorful dishes. All the dishes I have tried so far are unbeatable, and the spices are always perfectly balanced. The warm, welcoming vibe and consistently delicious food keep me coming back. Had a great time meeting and eating with friends today. Cheers to this wonderful place. read more

My friend and I went here for lunch yesterday. We had both been craving Indian food and Mystic Spice did a great job! I had the Palak Paneer with garlic naan. The spices were perfect. We each got a rice pudding to take home which I enjoyed very much! We will be back read more

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner the other evening, as we both wanted to try something different. We both got the chicken tikka masala, mine was mild and his was super spicy. They also were able to accommodate my nut allergy and removed the cashews from my dish so I could still eat it. We had the chicken tikka masala along with rice and garlic naan, cream cheese naan, and bullet naan. It was such a delicious meal that was incredibly filling and had such rich flavor. I also ordered a cosmopolitan and it tastes amazing as well. The ambiance was very relaxing and calm, and was overall a great experience. Definitely recommend this place as a nice cozy dinner spot. Forgot to get pictures of the food but here's a pic of the cosmopolitan. read more

So so good! The service and food were great! We had the Bahla supreme to start and that was very good, a little sweet a little spice. For entrees we had the Butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, both were delicious. We both had mild spice level and for us that was perfect, a little hint of heat! Neither of us could finish so we are looking forward to our leftovers. We will definitely return. read more

If you want TRUE, AUTHENTIC North Indian food, this is the place to be! They have plant based options as well, which I never seen. The service was on point, attentive and honest. The space is great for date night or girls night out. There's even a stage for karaoke! I got the butter chicken, playing it safe, but next time I'm getting a plant based meal. read more

The food flavor was the best I had among all Indian restaurants in Charlotte I dined at Mystic Spice a couple of weeks ago and I liked the nw look and decor of the place (as it occupied the space where the old Bombay Grill was) and I ordered the veggie samosas for the appetizer and butter chicken for the main course and the flavors of the food were excellent and the spice heat level was perfectly good I also had take out orders since then and overall the food was great however I do recommend eating at the restaurant as you would get to experience an excellent meal with an exceptional service read more

This was our second time dining here, and unfortunately the experience was nothing like the first. The food was quite disappointing this time. The dahi bhalla was rock-hard, with the edges cut off--possibly because it was old and dried out--and it was also topped with onions. The saag didn't taste like saag at all was a green odd tasting slurry and the paneer had a sweet, cream-colored gravy that felt very off. Overall, the entire meal was very different from our first visit. Perhaps the presence of the owner closely overseeing the staff affected things. The restaurant will only be able to sustain itself if it maintains consistent food quality. 2 stars for the rest of the 2x dishes we ordered which tasted better . read more

Absolutely delicious new Indian cuisine restaurant. Wonderful food and service. Definitely would recommend this place for those wanting to sample authentic North Indian cuisine in a friendly atmosphere. read more

Excellent food spicy but not too spicy. The service is over and above. Very relaxing Ambiance

We checked in @ 7:40 PM didn't get food till 9:20 so have to leave without eating food. Horrible Experience. We tried this new store to see if it lived up to the older Bombay Grille, it does not. We checked in and were seated at 7:30 PM, we received our Paneer Appetizer at 8:30, 1 hour after we ordered. The food portions were low and not very high quality. For 17 dollars, it was not worth it. The worst part is that we waited until 9:30 PM without getting food at all, this was a shared issue. People also stated they were there for 2 hours the food dit not arrive at all and it's not worth the wait. DO NOT GO . Or goto during lunch if you want to eat dinner . read more

The food choices are varied and expansive, featuring new-to-me dishes that I have enjoyed trying out. Excellent Indian food!
