For my entrée, I went with the lamb chops again, and they were just as tasty as I remembered!

I had the Tandoori Chicken at Curry Gate a couple of years ago and thought it was excellent, so I…read morewas looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, my experience today was very different. I ordered the Tandoori Chicken with a spice level of 6, but the chicken was surprisingly bland and had very little flavor. I expected at least some noticeable seasoning and heat, especially given the spice level I requested. The pricing was also disappointing compared with my previous visit. The Tandoori Chicken was $17, the portion was relatively small, and neither rice nor bread was included. By the time you add those separately, it becomes a fairly expensive meal for the amount of food you receive. Based on how good my previous experience was, I expected much better. Unfortunately, today's meal was average at best and did not feel like a good value. The people working there were very friendly.

AVOID THIS LOCATION!…read more My family that resides in Clt started coming to this location because of the proximity to their house, but after this past visit on June 20th, none of us will ever be back again after the absolute awful service! And, as anyone knows, you can have amazing food, but if the people and service are terrible that can ruin any dining experience! We were sat in an almost empty restaurant just after 8pm; the waiter came to take our order and was very engaging initially. We were a party of 6, so we were going to order 4 diff apps prior to the mixed grill which is what we always get. We ordered the hummus, falafel (2 orders because only 6 come per order), baba ganoush, and beef sambousa. We were told they were "out" of the baba ganoush & sambousas cuz they would have to make them and it would take like an hr...this sounded odd cuz umm, don't you make all your food to order?? This immediately put both my stepmom (who is Moroccan) and myself off and we were actually going to leave, but we were introducing my brother's GF to this ethnic food style & him + my dad convinced us to stay, so we just added salad and lentil bean soups). We ordered drinks (the GF & I were the only ones that didn't order sodas; she ordered a pot of Karak tea for her + I to share & I ordered a sparkling water). After 10mins no drinks in sight we were like "ummm?" then at just over 15mins they brought us the apps but no drinks?!? The drinks came separately a few mins later...all except the tea. For $3 on the menu I expected a bottled sparkling water, instead I got flat water from the soda fountain. I told the waiter this and he said he'd try again and if it wasn't "sparkling" then what did I want to drink instead...I said just a filtered water w/lemon. We were missing an order of falafel (were told they only had the one order and would have to wait for the 2nd, so we just canceled it; again whyTF did they not have anything on the menu at 8pm on a Sat!?) and they only brought one basket of pita for the hummus; we asked for a 2nd basket. The lentil soup (my stepmom makes better at home) + salads were mid at best. 20mins later they bring the main course, but we still had not gotten the pot of tea we ordered nor did the guy ever come back w/my "sparkling" or plain water...we'd had enough of this horrible service & I went in search of someone (the place again was empty & I could not find our waiter or anyone anywhere). Finally I see this lady who had attitude (I have a sneaking suspicion she pretended not to understand english when convenient) when I asked WTAF was up w/my water & the tea! Again, another 10mins w/neither showing up at the table...we were also still waiting for the 2nd basket of pita, but it was moot as we'd already begun to eat the main dish...my stepmom went to the lady & spoke to her in arabic and was like "where is her water and where is her tea!?" the lady said she was sorry she didn't know we didn't get them (BS btw) that's when my stepmom asked to speak to the mgr. We also wanted to order Knfa for dessert, so my stepmom told the lady we were ordering 3 now since they were taking forever to get anything to us, and if they didn't bring them when we were done eating, we would not be paying for them. THAT part seemed to get through at least! Halfway (almost an hr at this point) through the meal they finally come w/my water and the pot of Karak tea. At this point we hadn't seen the male waiter who took our order initially; he shows up & is acting huffy (the audacity tbh!) & tries telling me he never said he'd bring a 2nd sparkling or reg water & when both me and my stepmom (cuz she was sitting next to me & heard the exchange called him out) he got all defensive & said "well I guess I misunderstood" so then we are like "why an hr for the tea?" "Wellll, that's how long it takes to make!" I called BS & told him if that was the case he should have told us that expectation when we initially ordered! He then goes "Well I had to go to storage to find it cuz we were out!" K, howTF is that OUR problem!? Just tell us that so we know what to expect!? No apology was made and we were not credited for the tea nor the $3 sparkling water which I never received. Also, received the Knfa (shockingly, right after the meal) but it was served w/o the pistachios it was supposed to come with. When asked for them, we were told they were "out"...because of course they were! Absolutely HORRIBLE staff and service here; the food was good tho, but when u have an experience like that it still leaves a bad taste!

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. It's just a good place even if you want a good drink at the bar. Enjoy!

I wish I would've ordered something different than the Jhol Momo - Vegetable (Nepali dumplings in…read moresauce) because they gave me chicken instead. If ordering takeout, that's a dish that you won't be able to check until you're home and cut it open or pop the whole thing in your mouth. And that means if you're a vegetarian, you will be really disappointed because you will either not be able to eat your meal, or you will have to drive out again, meaning that you won't be able to eat with your friends and family by the time you get back. (And if they wait for you, their dishes will be cold.) My friend enjoyed their Aloo Ghobi (potato and cauliflower curry dish). The restaurant smelled fragrant with Indian spices and the staff is immediately inviting and nice! The restaurant appears clean and well-maintained. For those reasons, I'm giving them 2 Stars. However, it is a BIG mistake to switch a vegetarian dish with a meat dish, leaving one person in the group with nothing to eat, so I really cannot justify giving more than that.

A Refreshing Indian Food Experience in Charlotte!…read more I recently visited Kolapasi Indian Canteen in the Steele Creek area, close to Charlotte Premium Outlets, and was genuinely impressed by the whole experience. What really makes this place stand out is their unique "Taste Before You Buy" concept. I've been to quite a few Indian restaurants, but this was the first time I experienced something like this. Instead of ordering blindly from a menu, you actually get to sample different curries before deciding what you want. It's such a simple but brilliant idea, especially for people who are new to Indian food or aren't sure what to order. Their Double Curry Bowl concept is another highlight. You can customize your meal by choosing two rice options and two different curries, including vegetarian and meat options. It's a great way to enjoy different Indian flavors in one meal without having to order multiple entrées. What impressed me equally was the overall setup. It's casual, welcoming, and convenient, with a modern fast-casual dining concept that makes Indian food feel much more approachable. The variety, flexibility, and ability to choose what you actually enjoy make a big difference. The food was flavorful, the concept was thoughtful, and the overall experience felt different from a typical Indian restaurant visit. I also appreciated the value and the flexibility to customize a meal based on personal taste. If you're in Charlotte, especially around Steele Creek, RiverGate, or Charlotte Premium Outlets, and looking for good Indian food, Kolapasi Indian Canteen is definitely worth checking out. A genuinely enjoyable experience, and I'd happily come back!

My dad likes the same but he prefers the coconut rice. I like how they allow you to sample the items on the line and even suggest combinations that you might enjoy. I also like how they have both non spicy and spicy items. The only thing that stands out as odd to me is my sister stopped by one day and picked up an order for me. She noticed a worker or someone associated with the restaurant come in and start eating off the hot food line. Not sure if they washed their hands or not but she was alarmed by this behavior.

The menu offers a variety of options. We started with fried broccoli as appetizers- the sweetness driven by honey was good. Butter chicken was recommended and we also had a chef's lamb. Both were pretty tasty but I would go with butter chicken if I had to choose. Mango lassi has cream and cherry - can tell it's fusion, nice for photos but really unnecessary. Spicy level is very mild. Range 1-5, I cannot taste any spicy when we ordered a 3. Recommend to go with higher levels if you want a real spicy dish. Also, T-mobile has barely any signal in the restaurant. AT&T and Verizon work fine.
