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.

Our regular go-to, convenient to Sun City, Indian Land, Indian restaurant is closed. Standing in…read morefront, we realized that we had to find another Indian restaurant. We did, driving to the Arboretum Shopping center on Providence Road: Ruchi. The interior is so clean and open that were surprised that they have been open for nearly a year! Certainly lots of space for parties and large groups. Very nice menu with lots of choices. Siva C. was our server and she answered our questions. Their spicy/heat scale is high of 10. Wife and I very much enjoy Gobi 65, fried cauliflower. Each Indian restaurant has their own take on how it is prepared, mostly either dry or wet, with some sauce on it. Their version at @13.99 was our best yet. The pieces of cauliflower were disappointedly small, but the flavor was wonderful. Apparently they soak the cauliflower in a tasty sauce and then heat it. It was so good that we ordered an additional order to take home. The emphasize Hyderabadi cooking, which is heavy on rice (biryani) dishes and rich brown sauces. Plenty of veggie dishes along with goat, chicken, lamb and shrimp versions. I had the Gongura Shrimp ($17.99) and it was excellent. Six medium sized shrimp were immersed in a delicious, thick brown sauce flavored with sorrel leaves, garlic, ginger and other spices. Outstanding! Because of the small sorrel leaves, the chef has to spice it to #6 to bring out the flavor. I found level 6 easily manageable. That sauce was so good that my wife, that will not touch seafood, did spoon that sauce on to rice and loved it. We also ordered Bullet Naan ($4.99) which is Naan bread sprinkled with green chilies. It was very good and eatable because the coating of chilies was lighter than we have experienced at other restaurants. We drank beer, the only one available that night was Rupee Pale Ale ($7.99) and is was a very mild IPA, so very tasty and drinkable. Excellent with Indian food. I think we have found a winner here to which we will return. Lots more dishes to explore.

We went for the dosas and that's what the majority of our group had. They weren't the huge rolls you can find out there. Still enough for a meal though. The Sambhar was excellent and spicy! The grilled sandwich was also really good normally called a Bombay sandwich, full of veggies and chutney and cheese and grilled to perfection. Served with potato chips and ketchup and chutney on the side for dipping. The pani puri was also on point. The pani being nice and spicy, the filling was also nice and full in the Puri's. Delicious. We got sone of their jelabi, which is kinda like a funnel cake, fried dough dipped in a simple syrup but with a saffron flavor. This was really fresh and crispy and sugary! It's hard to get this one right but this is worthy of a try. Great little place and it was busy on a Saturday night. Quick service and good food!

Nice indoor area but I sat outside as it was so nice out. It's a standard menu so I went with my goto which was the extra spicy chicken vindaloo. With a plain naan.

Great place to come for a hearty dinner and nice they have such a variety in this area. Would definitely be back here when I'm in the area.

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.

While I like that, you never know what the starting spice level the first time you try something is, so if you like a slight kick I'd start with medium!

We did carry out and it was packaged well. Can't wait to return soon!
