    a plate of fried chicken
    Siran T.

    A small restaurant with limited number of parking spaces. We went there on Saturday before dinner time, so there were not many customers. Ordered an appetizer, dosa, and one from the traditional dish section. All tasted good. Chicken 65 was flavored nicely; not much spicy but pretty impressive. Good option for family dinner or casual meal. Servers were helpful and took care of our orders.

    Omg the cake!!!! Delightful!!!

    Amazing. Fresh flavorful food. Very clean eating space. Best Indian food I have had so far. And the desert??? OMG!!! DELICIOUS!!

    Charlotte's Indian food scene is really flourishing these days. We tried this thanks to the recommendation of our friend Tonya (where all good Indian food recommendations come from). My husband and I got takeout and shared: - Cheese Masala Dosa - Chili Paneer - Paneer Burji The dosa was probably my favorite (they usually are), but it was all delicious. You can't go wrong here. Next time you're in the mood for Indian (pretty much always for me), check this spot out.

    Great food, quick service, casual vibe. Doesn't get much better than that. Wife and I ordered a little bit of everything to-go and it was ready on time. We tried the Chilly Paneer, Paneer Burji, Cheese Masala Dosa, and some Garlic Naan. I was pleasantly surprised to discover my favorite menu item was the Cheese Masala Dosa. Normally I prefer curries but this Dosa won my stomach. Also, it was huge when compared to many other dosas I've had.

    This place is absolutely legit. The food is amazing on all Levels. The flavor, the spices, are just spot on. Small spot in a small plaza. Family business for a personal touch. We didn't do any appetizers since it was just my daughter and I and we both wanted separate dishes. My daughter got the buttered chicken and I got the chicken tikka. The chicken tikka came on a hot cast iron plate (think fajitas). The chicken was juicy and so good with the veggies underneath were amazing. The buttered chicken was great as well with the naan calling to be dipped in the sauce. Absolutely delicious. If you like or want to try Indian cuisine this is the spot.

    Goat Biryani - yea I asked for low spice today

    I would eat the goat biryani everyday if I could. The food is perfect every time! Always hot and delicious. The deserts are beautiful and are a yummy way to finish up my main meal. My favorite is the Black Forest cake. The folks there are always quick to serve and pick up service is a breeze. I choose Joy's over any other nearby Indian restaurant I've been to recently.

    Me and my kids loved the food there. Their chicken 65 was good and mild spice. The mango lassi was made correctly. It taste soo good. Their butter naans were soft and yummy Malai chicken was good too as my son love it.

    I pulled up only to realize that this place was in the same spot as a former favorite of mine, Zauq! Now it belongs to Joy's. The interior has been nicely renovated and it's definitely a place you want to dine in but carry out is it course an option. While I waited for my friends I had a chance to talk to the gentleman in charge and he was very kind and seemed very passionate about the food and the business. It was nice to see. Now, on to the food but before I begin, I must let you know that I only took off one star because I want to try a plethora of things before making a 5 star decision. And I'd love for them to turn up the music on the tv a little. It'll add to the atmosphere and ambience of the place! We had samosas with mint and tamarind chutney, garlic naan, butter naan, mango lassi, chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, goat biryani served with raita and a gravy on the side. So here's the breakdown: Samosas: A bit on the smaller side but with a crisper outer wrap, good flavor and chutneys compliment them nicely. 2 per order. Garlic Naan: soft, well flavored Butter Naan: Delicious and soft but I 'd ask for one more slather of butter. Chicken Korma: My friend ordered this but I tasted it and since I never order Korma I have nothing to compare it to but it was very enjoyable. Chicken Tikka Masala: WONDERFUL! Yum! Goat Biryani: 4/5 the goat was tender, plenty of it, great portion and wonderfully delicious. Only wish it was spicier because even after asking for max spice it was pretty mellow (I have a very high spice tolerance) and so I'm hoping next time it can be kicked up a notch. But still I'll order again and hubby loved it. The raita tasted a little different than what I'm used to but I can't pinpoint exactly what it was but since the biryani wasn't spicy, I didn't really use it. The gravy on the side was unique to me and I didn't get a chance to ask what it was exactly but it still tasted good. Mango Lassi: creamy, sweet and the perfect drink for our meal. We even ordered two more to take home! I ordered some chicken tikka masala to go and my husband and daughter ate that with my leftover of goat biryani and this is what he said while eating it, "This is incredible! So good! This is better than _______________ (intentionally left blank out of consideration for said restaurant." My 11 year old daughter, "That was so good mom! I'm a fan. When can you take me there?" I highly suggest you go here to enjoy a nice meal with family, friends or even a date. The menu is very extensive, has lots of options and you'd be hard pressed to not find something everyone could enjoy. And for my veggie lovers, there are plenty of vegetarian options but show me the meat! I'm looking forward to going through many more menu options and I will be updating my review accordingly. I'll gladly support this family and small business as long as they keep putting out delicious food made with passion and love!! That is all!

I elected the fresh veggies(squash, carrots and broccoli) and fries. It was a little weird that my fries were served to me within minutes of placing my order. They were hot and seasoned well. By the time my chicken meal came the fries were gone. I was not sad as I was hungry but it was a little strange to me. The chicken was a good portion and great flavor. It was also served with a dipping sauce that resembled taziki sauce but not sure it was. Regardless it was tasty. This is a place I would go to again. They had a decent crowd as there was a buffet available if one chose. I stuck to the menu and stayed clear of the buffet. First time in NC but I was introduced to a "dine in" fee. It is not a tip but for the privilege of eating at the restaurant. It was 10%. I have never heard of this in Texas.

Large space than I expected, there are plenty of indoor and outdoor seats, and the staff are very nice but the it's not somewhere you would go if you're in a rush. The staff did take time to attend to me to take my order, bring my check, etc. I probably could have gone to the front counter to request someone quicker. They were busy with both dine-in and takeout orders. The salad was a great portion and for a little extra they added feta cheese to it for me. There is a 10% service charge for dining in (don't worry I added an additional 10%!)
