    Chicken momo chili
    Kelly T.

    Passing through Charlotte, I had to stop and try my favorite cuisine. Oh man, this place is absolute fire!!! We were seated promptly and got impeccable service. I wanted to try everything but I got more than I could handle as is! The chili garlic naan was amazing! I loved the momo; they have a lot of flavor and great texture. The tikka masala and korma are actually some of the best I have ever had. Everything here was an absolute delight. The next time I stop through Charlotte, this place is a must!!

    Thali lunch, available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays
    Andi M.

    My husband and I wanted to find a new Indian restaurant that served thali lunch plates, and I'm glad we found Sarangi! Sarangi is located at one end of a shopping center off Tryon in University that includes a Starbucks, Food Lion, and Jersey Mike's. Sarangi has a simple decor, with booths and tables for seating. They offer thali plates for lunch on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. The veg thali is $12.99, and the meat thali is $14.99. There are several options for your main dish, plus every thali comes standard with butter naan, basmati rice, daal, achar, a side (such as veggie pakora, papad, or aloo tiki), and gulab jamun for dessert. I tried the paneer tikka masala, and my husband had the chicken korma. We were astonished when our thalis arrived - the trays are HUGE! They include two portions of the main entree, four quarters of naan, a sizable bowl of rice, and nice-sized portions of the daal, achar (we used for dipping the pakora), and one gulab jamun. My medium-spiced paneer tikka masala was spicier than the usual medium. My husband's hot chicken korma was very spicy. I suspect other places give us Americanized spice levels. Everything was absolutely delicious. I had enough to bring some leftovers home, but my husband cleared his plate. If I had one complaint, it would be the music playing on the televisions. Next time, we'll sit far away from the TVs. Regardless, we can't wait to return!

    I entreated my husband to decide on the restaurant for a change and he saw this restaurant as I searched on YELP! Needless to say we wound up at Sarangi. Indian food has disappointed in the past so I was reluctant but really wanted to give it a chance. The food was delicious and the restaurant which had just opened at 5p anxiously beckoned us in with the welcoming aromatics of Southeast Asia. The gentleman that greeted us was very nice as was everyone that we encountered. I felt like we were in Nepal. That was thee best Indian cuisine I've ever had. The place was bustling with patrons as we were finishing our meal and we knew why. Service was prompt. The food was so good. The atmosphere was welcoming.

    Naan and chicken curry
    Roopa G.

    Fantastic Nepali authentic food place. The Taste of Nepali food was so delicious here. Service was very kind and helpful to find my taste of food. Just make sure what range of spice you want. Overall ambiance was very delightful. I highly recommend this place to visit for their delicious warm Nepali authentic tasty dishes. Especially their chicken momo. I don't have picture because it was so delicious that I had already and thought later to review this place. Lol! Atlast! I would say everything I Love it! You guys rock.

    Butter Chicken
    Joely G.

    I really liked this place! More authentic than Botiwala. We ordered the sizzler momo as an appetizer it was tasty; a perfect blend of spicy and savory. I highly recommend it for an appetizer. It was so good it was gone before I could take a picture of it. The butter chicken and tiki masala were good. The cheese naan was the absolute best. It tasted like a special pizza. We also ordered a mango lassi. The service was good. The server helped us explain the menu since it was a little overwhelming because of all the options. It is beautifully decorated and clean. I will definitely be coming here again.

    Chicken Hakka Noodles Chicken Biryani Chicken Curry Rice
    Esha R.

    Definitely not the most beautifully decorated place, but that is usually a good sign for Indian/Nepalese food places! The service was a little bit slow and sometimes we had to call over the waiter to get us water etc. but it was made up for by how amazing the food was. I highly recommend the momos! I got chicken momos and the sesame chutney with it was so smooth and flavorful! I also got the chicken hakka noodles which were another big hit! The Nepalese chicken curry and Indian chicken biryani were nothing I had not tried before, but still satisfied my craving and since I order so many dishes and I had lot left over for the next day! I definitely would do take out from here next time! Parking is in the strip mall and easy to access! Also if you like their FB Page they give you 10% off!!!

    Chicken Sissler MoMo
    Mark C.

    Was looking for a good quality Indian place since moving from Chicago and I found it, Sarangi! Had dinner tonight, started with Chicken sizzler MoMo (medium spice), Wow that was good and spicy! Might go for the mild next time ha! My wife ordered a Mango Lassi to help cool things down. I ordered my favorite Taj Mahal. We then split Chicken Tikki Masala, basmati rice and one butter naan. The naan was like none other than I had in Chicago, this was light, fluffy and very tasty. The owner mentioned they make every from scratch. Quality was top notch! The ambiance is fine, nothing special, but adequate. We will definitely be back to either eat in or take out, the food is the star!

The inside had enough seating for people and service was good. Although I think our server could have paid a bit more attention to us in terms of refilling our water. But it is a fairly chill atmosphere inside. We got the Gobi 65, Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani, Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Mango Lassi. The Gobi 65 at mild spice still had a slight kick to it, but it was very flavorful! I really enjoyed it. The Chicken Tikka Masala tasted very buttery and not as spicy as I wanted it to be (asked for medium spice), so it makes me wonder if they accidentally gave me the wrong dish... like Butter Chicken? Otherwise, it was alright. Lots of bell peppers inside the dish and the chicken was cut into small pieces. The Garlic Naan was super garlicky which I loved and tasted great being dipped in the Chicken Tikka Masala. For the Mango Lassi, it came pre-packaged in this small bottle. It tasted fine, but not as sweet as I wanted it to be. My friend liked the Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani, which came in a massive bowl. Overall, I enjoyed the food here. Although I kind of want to get the Chicken Tikka Masala again and see if it tastes less buttery and more spicy next time. I would come back to try the other items on the menu!

But the mutton dum biryani from this restaurant happens to be hands down, the best one I have tasted outside of Hyderabad, India. Coupled with mirchi ka salan that gives you the authentic notes of what only few handpicked chefs in hyderabad could achieve. The taste of the biryani is consistent (I ordered same dish over 10 times now). It is not too spicy, which is good because it does not dominate the inherent flavor of the biryani. The mutton is cooked so well, that the pieces separate out even with gentle pressure. This is one dish that can truly take you back in time (and place). My review is for mutton biryani in specific. Other items are good to great but this item is truly exceptional. Other items we order frequently: mirchi bajji, kebab platter, chicken 65, chicken biryani, goat sukka, kubani ka meeta, double ka meeta.

Every single item I tried was bursting with bold, authentic flavors that instantly reminded me of the chaat stalls back in India.

A total flavor bomb. * Masala Puri - comforting and savory, with just the right amount of heat. * Bhel - fresh, crunchy, and light - a great mix of textures and flavors. * Paneer Wrap - this one blew me away. Soft paneer chunks grilled with masala, wrapped in a warm roll - filling and absolutely delicious. * Mango Lassi - smooth, rich, and the perfect way to cool off after all that spice! The trailer is clean, the service is friendly and quick, and the vibe is just fun. You can tell they really care about quality and customer experience. Everything is vegetarian, and they have great vegan-friendly options too. Charlotte needed a spot like this.

We ordered the Basil Fried Rice with chicken (added a sunny egg on top), Pad Thai, and the beef skewers. The basil fried rice was the standout. Great wok flavor, rice wasn't soggy, and the egg with crispy edges tied everything together perfectly. I ordered medium spice -- just right for me, although my wife felt the heat immediately. Thai medium is not American medium, so order wisely. The Pad Thai was solid and balanced -- not overly sweet, good noodle texture, generous portion. The beef skewers were tender with nice char and paired well with the peanut sauce. Service was friendly, food came out hot, and portions were generous. Now for my slightly controversial take: in my experience, Asian restaurants are almost never 5-star places. The magic zone is 3.5 to 4 stars. That's where you usually find the most authentic, no-frills, flavor-first cooking. If a place is too polished, something is probably toned down. Thai House sits right in that sweet spot. Would absolutely come back.
