Always great, never fails. We order at least once a week, it's that good. Usually there is a line to pick up orders. Curry goat and Chicken Tiki Masala are the best! read more

Big portions but beware of the spice levels! They ask you 1-10 so I ordered a 5 and it burned my mouth! Next time I will ask for 2-3 haha We ordered mango lassis (delicious!), chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, garlic naan, and gulab jamun. read more

Curry Gate - Indian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Lamb was dry but curry was good. I do not recommend the naan I'm surprised their naan wasn't very good. Overall I would give 3/5 stars

Indian food is my absolutely favorite, from good samosa, to flavorful, bold curry flavors. The shrimp tikka masala was killer!!!! The rice was classic Indian style rice. Service was fair, nothing special and the ambiance was pretty solid! I wouldn't go back for that but the food did its job! Will be back. 7.3/10 read more

Truly the best Indian food in Charlotte. The flavors, 0-10 spice level, and portions are all a huge reason. The service is wonderful because you order online and it'll give you an estimated pickup time and they occasionally throw in a free dessert for you. There isn't much seating at the North Charlotte location so I've only had it to-go. They just opened a new location south of the city on South Blvd that does have ample seating. I've tried many items in many times getting this to go but don't have prior pictures. Every time, every meal is amazing! read more

Love picking up food here. It's highly addicting. If you like spicy, try the Butter Chicken (Makhani) level 7, you won't regret it. Oh and the garlic naan enhances the experience. read more

Wonderful food and service, our first visit here! Mamatha was our server and she was outstanding! I had the Tikka Masala and loved it, can't wait to eat the leftovers! read more

We ordered paneer sabji with garlic naan. Sabji was OK. But garlic naan was not good. Also no space to dine in. Additionally

Have been wanting to try CurryGate for the longest time and finally got takeout for dinner last night. I'm going to have to agree with previous yelp reviewers in that the food is plentiful and fantastic. Ordered through their website which was super easy. I did get a kick out of hoa orders under $60 is a 50min preparation time and over $60 was 60 or more minutes. But seeing how I don't know the ins and outs of Nepalese/Indian cuisine I'll happily abide by their instructions. The order was ready when I went in and had my 1 minute interaction with the host. "Host" is loosely used near because inside dining is closed for the moment. There was one other people inside waiting for their order- all of us were wearing masks. I'm not sure what used to be in this space... maybe like a drive-in place or convenience store, but the parking lot is uniquely configured but easy to get in and out of since it's on the corner with a traffic signal. Food was delicious. Tried the chicken tikka masala and chicken palek. Ordered with garlic naan and pakora. So good! I think the pakora suffered from travel in the Togo container, but nothing that a quick spritz in the airfryer didn't fix. Overall, such a good experience. Will definitely have to try their other menu items. The other thing to mention was their spice scale is 1-10.... we had the tikka masala at a 7 and the palaek at a 3. Spice is not joke, but also enjoyable to where you won't regret going too hot here. read more

I had seen loads of hype about Curry Gate on my social media so I had to make a stop. I placed an order for the Momo Dumplings and the Shanghai Fried Rice with Chicken. We are the Momo in the car! It didn't even make it inside the house. The fried rice was a huge portion. We were able to share it with the kiddos also. I love how they have spring onions and fresh red onions on top of the fried rice. The flavors were delicious. I throughly enjoyed everything. We didn't eat the sauce with the Momo but it's a spicy peppery sauce. We did throw a little on top of the rice. Added some nice heat. Please don't let the outside appearance stop you. Curry Gate is serving some delicious food! Curry Gate 630 W 24th St Charlotte, NC 28206 Wednesday August 26, 2020 1:30pm read more

The food was absolutely amazing. Zero complaints. We had the butter chicken, tikka masala, chicken tikka, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. The only complaint I have is the beverages are served in plastic bottles. You get a bottled water without asking for it. So you can guess how many take 1 drink and the bottle goes in the trash. Thats a lot of plastic trash. This is my only reason for 4 stars. read more

Really good curry for the price. Pretty authentic and I'm a bit of an Indian food critic. Fresh ingredients and definitely house made curry sauces Def worth the money. Enjoy! read more

So far the best Indian option I've found in clt! The servers are all very kind and it's also a good take out spot. I recommend the manchurian gravy read more

When Tonya P. says she's found her new go to Indian place, it immediately jumps to the top of my list of places to try. Covid-19: you can order and pay online. They're also offering a free mango lassi for all online orders over $25 (you get one for checking in on Yelp as well). Our order: vegetable momo, paneer korma, and paneer methi matter (I think this is the same thing as mutter paneer I've had elsewhere?). I've never had Nepalese food before and was incredibly impressed by the vegetable momo. The seasoning inside was fantastic. Both of our curry dishes were delicious. I had a slight preference for the korma. The portions were huge. We had leftovers. You get to pick a slice level from 1-7. We went with 7 and it was no joke. We love spicy food and still enjoyed it, but we would probably go with a 5 next time. They were so nice here as well! Definitely check them out! read more

When arrived I was surprised of the size of the restaurant. Thought it would be bigger. From the outside, it looks like a grab and go, not dine-in restaurant. As you walk in, there are a few tables where you can dine-in. First time visiting the restaurant because I've heard and reviewed such great things about it. Customer service was great with helping us decided what to order. Was also our first time having Indian food. The guy suggested their Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Kashmiri, and one other item. I ordered the butter chicken, appetizer plate with white rice and garlic naan. Everything was super delicious and filling. I had ordered so much there was plenty of leftovers. With each entree they ask for your spicy level. I ordered a level 7 and my friend order a level 5. The 7 had a medium hint of spicy but definitely you felt the spicy! My nose was running just from the spicy and that I was so hungry haha! Overall, I would definitely order from here again and will have to check times were they are less business to dine-in. There food and service is really dine-in material read more

Although Curry Gate looks like a hole in the wall on the outside, it will fill the the empty void in your life with delicious Indian food. Of the things you should order here, there is one that I find particularly unique and worthy of trying--the Vegetable Momo. It is a steamed, filled dumpling that is similar to a gyoza. And of course, you can never go wrong with garlic naan. My wife and I tried their Paneer Methi Matter and Paneer Korma. I'd also recommend those but really I think you could order any of their curry dishes and be happy. read more

This was good but not great. I definitely think it's worth a try and one of the better indian restaurant in Charlotte. We ordered the chicken vindaloo and chicken tikka both come with a side of white basmati rice. My vindaloo was a level 8 spicy which was great for me and I really like spicy food. Enough to give a good kick but not so spicy you can't taste the food. The restaurant is small and clearly meant for pickup or just a quick eat. It's in a small building and the restaurant pictures on the website are NOT the actual location. read more

Curry Gate - Chicken vindaloo with rice and naan - Indian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Could I give this place 10 stars??? I would on any day hands down. I bet this place is the best Indian restaurant in Charlotte, outranking Blue Taj which is at best a fusion/hybrid not entirely authentic Indian cuisine. Everything about Curry Gate is wonderful. As soon as you enter, you're greeted by irresistible delicious aroma of Indian spices. Above and behind the counter are colorful mouthwatering pictures of their dishes. It's their model to serve the food in to go styrofoam boxes since seating is limited. Service was absolutely friendly and hospitable ( offered us bottled water otherwise you'd have to pay for just because it was so hot outside). We ordered garlic naan, veggie korma, veggie momo, tikka masala chicken. I realize not a lot of Charlotteans have heard or been to Curry Gate. You should! I vouch for it. Even a family of 4 was willing to eat their food in their car as soon as the food came out of the kitchen! That's testimony enough. read more

After seeing and hearing rave reviews for months, I hate to say I was a bit underwhelmed by Curry Gate. While I liked the Chicken Momo and Garlic Naan, the Butter Chicken at the lowest spice ("Level 1") was near-inedible spicy while also devoid of any other flavor. Also the dish was mostly sauce with hardly any chicken and unfortunately the small side of rice provided was hardly enough to get it all down. Ended up tossing out most of the dish. Overall I'm not gonna rush back here but maybe would give them another try, with a different order. read more

Curry Gate - Indian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We decided to give Curry Gate a try while in Charlotte after seeing all of the positive reviews & I am so glad we did - the food was fantastic! Located in a small unassuming building with a parking lot out front, Curry Gate is a counter service restaurant. Thankfully they weren't too busy for dine in so we were able to snag one of the five booths after we ordered. Within ten minutes our food was brought out to the table. Currently they only package food to go so it was brought out in to go containers & we were given paper plates and utensils to eat. Ultimately this came in handy because even after splitting the food we still had leftovers to take home. This time we had butter chicken, which was spiced to our liking (a 7 on a 1-10 spice scale). Then an order of garlic naan which complemented the butter chicken perfectly. On top of great food the girl who took our order was very kind & made sure we were enjoying our meal. I am looking forward to trying more things on the menu next time we are in town! read more

We were headed to another restaurant in north, and were running too late - that's when I checked yelp yo suggest some Indian restaurants where we can get good food but are not limited by the last food call time of 2:30PM..Curry Gate was the first suggestion. It's not your fancy restaurant but food is what we cared for. We chose to dine in - which also was served in to-go boxes, and the guy upfront clarified it. Liked that part a lot! While placing order, we asked the server what's good, their specialities etc. We ordered tandoori chicken, veg momos and chaat for the appetizers - both were good. Chat was quite spicy / hot - so go easy on the heat level. Chicken was tender and juicy. Very flavorful. Veg momos were okay - we've had better ones. For main course we ordered matar-paneer and chicken curry. I loved both the curries. Chicken was really delicious, very tender nice juicy chicken and potatoes in the chicken were so flavorful too. I ordered aloo kulcha - it was good, but I might not order it again. My mother in law got chili naan - it was tasty but not too hot. Mango lassi was good too. We also ordered gulab jamun for dessert - and it was by far the BEST home made gulab jamun in Charlotte area. Not your frozen ones.. but fresh home made jamun and it was too good - I might actually go back for that only!! There was only one guy serving food, taking orders, taking payments .. and he was knowledgeable about the menu. Steered us in right direction. Well spoken. They have very limited seating space, so plan accordingly. read more

Delicious!! We got the butter chicken, tikka masala, kirma lamb, samosas, garlic naan. Everything was AMAZING! It was our first time trying Indian food and we loved it, we will definitely come back. read more

I now understand why this place has 200+ five star reviews. SHEESH! This place is amazing! Had a craving for Indian food and wanted to try something new and this place had been on the list. I don't know if I'll need to explore new places anymore because this might be the one! Let me tell you, we feasted! We basically want to try everything on the menu, so we took our first try. I got the saag with chicken and it was so flavorful, but I got 2 level spice and want a little more kick next time. The butter chicken was delicious, too. We tried the Indian nachos because they were out of the sampler and they were very unique and a flavor I had not tired before. The more I ate, the more I enjoyed. The Nepalese dumplings were good, but I will try them with meat vs veggie next time because they were pretty mushy. Garlic naan was on point and so was the fried rice dish. My recommendation is that you don't sleep on the yogurt dressing that comes with it because it was just the right flavor add to mellow the heavy spice in the rice. We also tried all of the desserts and enjoyed them all. New regular here. The staff was amazing and so inviting and kind and the portions are very generous. I'll be eating it for at least two more days! Big fan here! read more

My new favorite place for Chicken Curry. The flavor is amazing. However, I haven't found the right spicy level for me yet. I ordered a level 3 and a level 5 spicy. Level 5 is too spicy, and level 3 is not spicy at all, so I will try level 4 next time. The naan is not my favorite. I like my naan a little less doughy and more crispy. read more

This place was on my list for so long, with so many friends recommending it. I finally ordered it for takeout and it was very good. We ordered three dishes for 2 of us, and we had plenty of leftovers. We got: -65, level 1 spice -chicken tikka masala, level 2 spice -lamb vindalu, level 3 spice Friends warned us that this place is spicy, but we didn't think level 3 was too spicy (but I almost think it was a fluke because people are surprised when we say that). The lamb in the vindalu was tender and delicious. And as you can see in the picture they gave plentyyyyy of rice. I'm not huge on takeout food, but I'm very much looking forward to getting this again soon. read more

I was craving for some good curry food. I went on yelp to look for a close-by available place and found this location. Due to Covid, they only do carry out that was fine for me. I called before I headed there. Disregard the price, the curry menu here is pretty authentic and taste really good. I ordered the curry mutton, naan bread and onion pakora. I didn't like the union pakora that ended in the trash. Other than that, I love the rest. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! This place is my go to for Indian in Charlotte. I especially love the chicken korma and tikki masala. I also enjoy their naan, it's always so fresh, even for takeout. They totally deserve their top restaurant ranking, great service and even better food! read more

Great food and staff is phenomenal. Lamb was a little chewy but worth every bite for flavor

Definition of a "hole in the wall" with the restaurant being located in what appears to have been an old fast-food restaurant. Customer Service is great, bang for your buck when it comes to food vs. price is on-point & the food itself is phenomenal. Just try it. read more

I was curious how a place like Curry Gate gets 5 star reviews. Then I noticed all the 5 star reviews are from people who consider Indian food "exotic" and think there is only one kind of "curry powder." My experience at Curry Gate has always been disappointing and unexciting. The curries are gloppy messes, the chicken is overcooked, lamb dishes have mostly bones, and I even got partially frozen ras malai once. Folks, this is not true, fresh Indian food. Botiwalla at Optimist Hall is better. Some smaller restaurants that center to students in the university area serve more authentic biryanis and curries. read more

I was excited to try Curry Gate based on reviews and referrals from friends. Based on the malai kofta with garlic naan & chutneys, I'd rate this place a 3.5 (rounding to 4). I've just had better Indian food so not as impressed. I'm also always surprised by the food to sauce ratio when I get Indian food. A lot of sauce, which I love, but not as much of the other stuff. Overall, if you're looking to try something other than tikka masala, try the malai kofta here. Not the best but still pretty good. read more
