Food is so tasty! And you can specify heat level. And don't forget to add the garlic naan to your order.

If you're in Matthews Charlotte and craving authentic Nepali and Indian food, Curry Gate is a must-visit. Absolutely five stars across the board. The momos are incredible -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly steamed. The curries are rich and well-balanced, with bold spices that taste truly authentic. Portions are generous, and everything comes out hot and beautifully presented. Service is warm and attentive, and the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. Exceptional food, great hospitality, and fantastic value. Easily one of the best spots in the Charlotte area for Nepali and Indian cuisine. Highly recommended! read more

Went there as I saw some vegan options. We ordered aloo gobhi, tandoori roti, pagdi chaat and a soup. Really wanted to try their dumplings but they have dairy in it, wish it could be made vegan. My fav was aloo gobhi and papdi chat. read more

Food was amazing. Prepared 10 minutes early too! Wish you got more naan with the order though (only got 1 piece)

this is by far the best tandoori chicken I've had in Charlotte and nearby. I have gone to probably six different Indian places recently and I will keep coming here. Highly recommended. read more

Curry Gate = New Fave Unlocked! The spot was super clean. The staff, amazing. The food, OH SO GOOD! Let's not get it twisted, I am not the expert of Indian food but all of my people are. Like for real. So we went on the recommendation of a foodie friend and it did not disappoint. Everything was so fresh and yummy. My favorite was the Garlic Naan, but keep in mind- I am a basic B. I dipped it in the Panner Methi Matter. Level 4 on the spice and it was so good. The rest of the table said the samosa was Fire. Steamed Dumpling were devoured. The Curry Chicken also did not stand a chance. I look forward to going back again and my friends are oh so happy they have a new favorite spot. Bravo Curry Gate! read more

Food was amazing! Ordered several items for the table and all were amazing and they did spice level perfect to order.

The food was delicious! I'll second the previous poster - as I'm also from Chicago where we are SPOILED with decadent authentic food from soooo many cultures- this is as good as it gets in Charlotte area. Service was kind and respectful. Timely. I'm an artist and I could have given a rats hind end about the "decor" lol Only downfall was I couldn't enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail with dinner. Maybe soon:) read more

I've been wanting to try the original curry gate for so long, so was pleased to see the new location open up near me! Food and service were 10/10 top notch. The quality of food and flavors stood out most. Tikki masala and butter chicken off the hook, garlic naan as good as I've ever had as well. The inside is nothing special to be honest fairly basic but I'm not going for the frills anyways. Our server was so sweet and kind and even let us try a delicious mango juice. read more

A part time Charlotte resident, home is Chicago, and I have high expectations for Indian food after being around some truly exceptional places there. And Curry Gate Matthews exceeded all my expectations. A completely enjoyable meal from start to finish. We have been to the location (Curry Gate 2) on South Blvd, and have always enjoyed. The food is always great, and service is always quick and with a smile. But the Matthews location, it just felt like they stepped up their game. I had the Chicken 65, Gobi Manchurian and Manchow soup, and it all came out piping hot and perfectly cooked. The Chicken 65 was the first time I had ordered this...though it will be a staple going forward. My husband had the corn soup. Garlic Naan and chicken Vindaloo. He thought it was the best he's had, including a previous trip here and the other CG locations. The spice was right on and everything tasted so fresh and cooked to order. I will say the restaurant itself is a little spartan in decor...but honestly I could care less with food this good. A pure pleasure tonight. read more

Quick lunch bite, the Chicken korma is packed with flavor, juicy chicken and a unique blend of coconut flavors 8/10. Dun biryanami had so much chicken drums everything was absolutely delightful 8/10.The Garlic naan was light airy and had just the right amount of garlic 10/10. Highly recommend this spot, friendly staff and excellent food. The only complaint is the inside was a bit bland but the food and experience makes up for it. read more

I have been to many Indian restaurants in my time and I have to say, for curry gate to be in Matthews is truly surprising. I used to have to drive into downtown Charlotte in order to get decent Indian cuisine. Curry Gate deserves to be more known about, the flavors of the Makhani (Butter Chicken), The Tikka Masala, the Korma (Coconut curry), and lastly the NAAN. The Naan bread here is truly REMARKABLE. You have to come here and get a curry of choice, with the Garlic Naan (or Chili garlic naan if you're feeling spicy). The staff are REMARKABLY friendly. I've come here 8-10 times and I have not ONCE had a bad experience. The Owner(s) should be incredibly proud of the staff as they are putting their best foot forward in the kitchen, and out in the dining room. If you're a fan of Indian Food, I would say Curry Gate is a must try if you're within the greater Charlotte area. (I wish I had taken pictures of the Naan) read more

Curry Gate Matthews - Butter Chicken (Makhani) - Indian Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Good food. The portion seemed small for the price. $14 for a small plate of chicken 65 with no bread. Especially when places like chillies offers 3 for me at $10. I know its different but its still crazy expensive. At least include free drink. Also ordered bryani. Rice was hard. Very little pieces of goat. Mostly rice. Expensive. Kind of wished i went to the buffet across the street for half the price. Also the mango lassi is very thick and filling. Wish i ordered a coke instead. But that my mistake. I know lassi is yogurt bassed read more

The best Indian food in Charlotte!!! So happy they opened in Matthews! I stopped in and had the Samosa Chaat and the samosas were fresh and crunchy with piping hot filling. The sauces were fresh and flavorful I adore the mint! My goal since they are so close is to come in and try every menu item. 2025 Goals!!! read more

This was a wonderful overall experience. The service was very friendly and attentive, the place was very clean, and food was flavorful. Chicken 65 at spicy level 7 was plenty of heat with the flavor and I also enjoyed some manchow soup. I look forward to trying new things in the future. $20 for those 2 items is a very good value. read more

Curry Gate Matthews - Chicken 65 - spicy level 7 - Indian Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

I've lived in the Carolina's for 25 years and this is the best Indian food in the area and in my top three restaurants. Great service, polite and attentive. But the food is amazing. I love Indian and gravitate to buffets because I love a variety of dishes. Sine Covid, buffets are more rare and ordering multiple dishes can be expensive. Curry Gate is the most reasonable Indian restaurant and so we order six dishes and take the extras home for another meal. My wife doesn't like "spicy " and tried a level three. It was ok, but next time tried a level four, which was perfect. I like it fiery so they bring me a small bowl of peppers to amp up the spice. They apparently do a big take out business as there's always a constant stream of DoorDash drivers. One more thing.. I'm vegan and this place has a wide range of dishes that meet my diet. I'm hungry just writing this! read more

Fabulous food. Great service. Best tandoori chicken ever. Naan was fresh and hot. Wish they had a lunch buffet.

Terrific Indian cuisine! We love their Tandoori chicken and Makhani curry. Lovely people that obviously care about their customers. Fair prices, pleasant decor and all around great place. read more

The main entrees are ok. The price for naan, not so much. With as many restaurants that are in the area, there needs to be a change and I would look elsewhere prior to returning. read more

We were looking for a new Indian Restaurant to try and Curry Gate is very convenient to the Matthews area. We tried a couple of different options and everything was exceptional! This is now our go to Indian restaurant! read more

Fantastic food and service. From the moment we walked in we were warmly welcomed and the food came out fast. Large portions and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back. Such a delicious meal for a weeknight. Highly recommend this place. read more

Food is good, nothing special. The mango lassi was premade. Service good and the server handled a very busy dining room with little help!Ambiance is bland, , this restaurant should just be carry out! The lighting is terrible so bright with fluorescent lighting! They use plastic water bottles and plastic take out containers, both not environment friendly, which I very much dislike! read more

Delicious food, great service, and super clean restaurant! I recommend this restaurant. Our server was so polite and she checked to make sure we were happy with our food. Even the chef came out to greet us and checked to make sure we were happy with the food. We ordered samosas, chicken biryani, chana masala and naan. Everything came out freshly cooked and seasoned perfectly. We will be going back!! read more

Great food especially the butter chicken. My only thing is that the serving sizes for the price point just isn't right. It is a tad expensive. read more

The food is always delicious. It's always very flavorful and great portions. Service is always exceptional, and they are so kind. The place is always very clean and spotless. This is our favorite place to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine. Love the mango lassi as well. read more

Oh my goodness. Finally an Indian restaurant close to us. We were mourning the closing of our favorite Indian restaurant Bombay Grill and happened to see this restaurant. Everything was absolutely delicious and the dining area very clean. The service was wonderful. We will definitely be back! read more

Delicious! Generous portions. Great buttered naan. We had Palak with chicken (very moist & tender chicken) and also Biryani Shrimp. We ordered as carry out. So nice to have a great Indian restaurant in Matthews. read more

Ambiance and service were fine. My partner and I have been going to king of spicy and other nearby Indian restaurants for years now, I'd say we're familiar with delicious authentic Indian flavor. We usually get tikka and butter chicken, this is some of the least flavorful or complex Indian food we've ever had. We used to get a 6 spice level at king of spicy and could barely finish it because it was sooo spicy but so flavorful and deep and rich. This new place is so flavorless and dull, no complexity and seems to be 90% creamy sauce and 10% actual seasoning. They've gentrified out any soul left in this food in their recent expansion and buying of king of spicy. AND they've upped the prices!!! From 14 to 17 for the same amount with less flavor. For 40$ I was extremely disappointed in the quality of food we will not return. read more

Very very good Indian food. Very fresh and excellent service and taste. Convenient location and plenty of great choices

The food was great and service was so friendly. The food came out very quickly too! Only complaint I'd have would be the parking lot, as it's a bit small. read more

Casual ambience, great food and service. I liked the food, well prepared and presented. Service was impeccable and friendly.

We ordered take out and it was so good. We got the butter chicken, chicken momo and garlic naan. Everything was delicious and fresh. We got extra rice because we weren't sure how much came with it but we didn't need the extra rice! Also ordered a spice level 3 and it has good flavor but I'll bump it up to at least a 5 next time for some good spice. Great first experience! read more

I was here a couple of weeks ago because I had to grab something near Matthews Medical. The Garlic Naan was the worst I have ever had. It lacked flavor and felt undercooked. The rest of the meal was ok. My experience at every other Indian restaurant I have visited in Charlotte or elsewhere has been better. read more

The momos were great, shined other dishes could have been better. Solid quality but not five stars.

Food was very good and authentic, and came out quickly. Staff were incredibly kind and hospitable. Would recommend to anyone, and plan to return soon. read more

Really great food. Just as tasty as their original location; but much more accessible for those of us on the East side of Charlotte. Super friendly waitstaff as well -- they were really careful to make sure that the spice level of our food was good, and were really courteous in letting some diners next to us know that "an 8 is pretty spicy." Suggest that you try the Chili Momo and the CG Special Biryani. Both are delicious. read more

Some of the best Indian food I've had in Charlotte area. The food came out piping hot and stayed hot throughout the entire meal. The spice level was perfect and all of the dishes we had were executed with care. Highlight was the Manchurian Cauliflower and Palak Paneer! read more
