21 Best Indian Restaurants near Matthews

“We just had a delicious meal at Curry Gate and are already looking forward to having the leftovers tomorrow. The paneer and chicken tikka masala are so good and filling. The garlic naan is perfectly buttery and chewy. And our server was very sweet. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Tried Botiwalla today and the food was delicious! I had the chicken tikka wrap and my husband had the lamb burgers. Both were delicious. We also got the mango pickle and the dry garlic chutney. The dry garlic chutney was exceptional.“

“Very unassuming place with good food and friendly service. I had the Thursday special with Nann bread and 2 kinds of chicken plus a Samosa and Mango Lassi. All were good - especially the chicken Korma and Samosa. I also like that you can choose your level of spice. I got the 3 out of 5 which was spicy. Will definitely go here again!“

“First time visit. Food was delicious and staff was very attentive... FIVE STAR �!!!“

“The food is absolutely delicious. Easily the best curry I’ve had in Charlotte. I will definitely be visiting over and over.“

“My son took me to dinner here following a recommendation. Spot on! Service was excellent, the crafted cocktails were delicious and the food was amazing. Perfect amount of flavor, great value and loved the atmosphere. Will definitely be back next time I come to town!“

“I stumbled upon Exotica at an India Food Festival in Charleston, SC. I’ve been on an Indian Food kick so I had to go see what this festival had to offer. Exotica had an impressive spread of food that was well displayed esthetically and from a food quality and safely standpoint. I’m a kitchen manager and caterer so that stands out and matters to me. They had the longest of a lot of long lines which told me it should be good. I was right. It was top notch. They far exceeded my expectations for the event. I didn’t know what most of the menu was so I looked everything up while I waited and made a list on my hand. My favorites of what I chose were the Samosa Chat, Onion Samosa and the Madurai Malli Dosa. Everything was amazing though. Sooo many flavors!! I’ll definitely be going to their restaurant the next time I’m near Charlotte. 10000% Now that I look at the full menu I see so much more that I need to try. Definitely a happy little accident finding this gem. 20/10 recommend :)“

“Delicious! A wonderful menu with a great variety of flavors. The dosa is fantastic!“

“My family and I have been going here for years and it’s maybe our favorite restaurant to go to. The food is excellent, the staff and service is always wonderful, and it just has a great atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for Indian food in Charlotte.“

“First time trying Ruchi. Got there early so we were able to spend time talking to the staff, who were all very friendly. We tried Indian take out staples this time (Tikka Masala and Korma) but had a really cool Indian Salad and the Gobi 65 was perfect. Will definitely go back and excited to try some authentic Hyderabadi items next time!“

“Today we visited this restaurant and enjoyed nice food. Prices are reasonable too. People who insist only vegetarian food can enjoy here because it’s purely vegetarian. Their coconut chutney and sambhar are delicious. The lady Olga’s customer service is very nice. This was our third time visiting this restaurant and the food was as good as it was at the first time which means their quality is great!“

“Dropped in here today to make a to-go plate from the buffet since I was short on time. This was around 12pm on a Wednesday- the buffet was well stocked and the staff were actively monitoring. Everything I chose had great flavor- chana masala, chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani. My only constructive feedback would be to have some of the naans wrapped in foil to-go (so that they keep warm😀). Great option for the uptown lunch crowd, especially on a cold or rainy day as it is located in the Overstreet Mall (near Chick-fil-A).“

“Thank you guys so much for outstanding hospitality! The food was absolutely amazing✨ I’ve tried a lot of different foods but I’ve never had the experience of so many flavors dancing in my mouth. That’s what makes the authenticity of a dish! Chefs Kiss💯“

“Naanzza!!! At first I was uncertain about the texture and taste of the naanzza but turned out be good combination. Basically it’s a cheese naan with toppings. I have tried the chicken tikka pizza and tandoori chicken pizza which were relevant to the Indian palate. The heat from the jalapeños, the crunchiness from the onions, refreshing tomatoes and cilantro, and the tikka sauce generously smothered over the pizza worked out perfectly. Paneer makhani pizza was reasonable but could not stand with chicken pizza in terms of flavor.“

“Authentic food that is always on point. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte and top destination for great Indian food. I always order chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, saag panera and Biriyani but you probably can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.“

“Yeah Mon! If you are looking for the real deal mon, then this is the thing! Jamaican food at its best. Tonight was my first visit to Fidels Kitchen and I was impressed with how tasty, spicy, and authentic it all was. Admittedly, I am not from Jamaica, but I am from Florida which has some great Jamaican food too. I had been hankering for some red snapper and I had a Groupon for this place plus I had to head near their side of town anyway. I ordered the Red Snapper Escovitch with the rice&peas and the mac and cheese. The snapper was excellent, cooked just right and covered with a clear sauce that was freshly tangy and spicy hot (but not too much) with onions, Irish potato slices, and thin slices of Scotch Bonnet pepper. (Scotch Bonnet peppers are very closely related to habanero peppers.) I also ordered a small portion of curry goat. The last time I had curry goat Jamaican style this darn good was in the Jamaican Town of Flushings, Queens, NYC. That place was known for its curried goat and Fidels matches it! (Is that Blue Mountain Hot Curry?) The rice&peas portion was huge and full of flavor. The mac and cheese was certainly cheesy and not some fake Kraft powder-like cheese. Its top was toasted with just a touch of crispness. Topping it all off were a couple of slices of plantain. Please keep in mind that this location is takeout only! Fidels Kitchen is part of the South Ends Eats which houses seven different restaurants. Customers for all seven doors go thru the same entrance and the lobby is where to pick up or order food. When the food is ready, it is stashed in a locker box and you use your phone app at the kiosk and the locker door pops open. Quite a unique setup. There is no indoor seating, but there is outdoor seating with picnic tables around the side of the building. (Rumor has it that there might be another Fidels Kitchen opening hopefully in the near future in Concord.)“

“Went in during my lunch break to pick up a bag from too good to go and it was absolutely amazing! Nice big portions and the staff was very friendly! The location is also super convenient, right by my office in uptown so I’ll definitely be back! :)“
