29 Best Indian Restaurants near Pineville

“Amazing food. Very fresh and flavorful.“

“Visited Vindhu on Wheels after a long drive, and I was honestly shocked (in the best way!) by how good the food was. Street style indian food is not easy to find, but these guys nailed it, the taste took me right back to India. I tried their Chicken Frankie, noodles, keema fried rice, and a few tiffins as well, and the flavors were consistently spot on across everything. Truly impressive and highly recommended!“

“Absolutely loved our visit. I have been waiting for it to open and it exceeded my expectations! The food tasted amazing, every single dish was fresh and flavorful. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. The team was very welcoming and made us feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be coming back!. Highly recommend“

“My fav vegetarian place in Charlotte. Taste is always consistent. Love their Thalis.“

“Food was very tasty and fresh“

“Delicious food. My wife and I dinned here for the first time and we are highly impressed with the taste of the food here. We ordered Tandoori Chicken, Chole and Paneer curry. Every item tasted authentic. Just one note of caution - their food is Spicey. So pay attention when ordering the spice level. We ordered spice level 8 which was a little too spicy even for an Indian palate. Having said that - food has very authentic taste.“

“Man my first experience eating here was an A+ The food was hittin on all cylinders folks👌🏽😋 The Owner is fun to talk to🎉“

“Great spot with really good food. If you are new to Indian cuisine, this is the perfect spot. You can try the items before you buy!“

“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 :)“

“The food quality and flavors at this restaurant are excellent. I visited for the weekend buffet breakfast and was very pleased with the variety and taste of the dishes. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and enjoyable.

The only downside was the use of Styrofoam bowls and cups for hot food and beverages. Styrofoam is not only harmful to the environment, but it’s also not ideal for health — especially when used with hot foods and drinks. It would be much better if the restaurant considered compostable or other alternatives.

Overall, a great dining experience with amazing food. I hope management will look into more eco-friendly and health-friendly serving options.“

“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!“

“This is my first time eating Indian cuisine and it was absolutely delicious! The seasonings and spices accentuate the food without overpowering the flavor of the well prepared seafood, lamb and vegetables. I look forward to dining at Blue Taj again soon!“

“Went there today for the buffet — great experience! Friendly staff, excellent customer service, and plenty of tasty veg and non-veg options. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced — every dish felt well-prepared and authentic. Loved the variety and balance between mild and rich flavors. Perfect location too!“

“We just had dinner here and the food and service were excellent. If you like authentic Indian Food this is it. We had 4 different dishes and chai - excellent. I go to India annually and if I closed my eyes I could have been eating there.“

“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.)“

“I remember come to Persis when they first opened, a few years back. I brought my daughter to try Indian food, after church today and she was hooked as soon as she melted the fresh aromas when we walked through the door. Everything was simply amazing. It good to see the place still in business and bringing amazing food with quality service. Thank you all so much.“

“I ordered on Doordash on a busy Saturday night, right at closing time, during a crazy night with a Panthers game going on. I was preparing myself for a mediocre experience as all these factors usually mean disappointment. Doordash said I had 5 mins to place my order...and boy was i surprised. Not only was my order hot and fresh. It was sooooooooo delicious and unique. By unique, I mean the chefs take on very common indian dishes was superbly made. Samosas were soooo crunchy yet flaky. Inside was soft and flavorful. Even down to the chutney. My Chicken Korma was straight from a nawabs palace. I picked all ten fingers and my plate. I will be back multiple times a week! And recommend to all my friends. Good job! After a long day at work I couldn't ask for anything more. Best Indian food in Charlotte! Sorry curry gate!“

“We ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, Southern Lamb Curry, and Garlic Naan. The food seems to be mainly tailored to an American palate. The Paneer Tikka Masala had a noticeable sweetness, which we didn’t enjoy.

The Southern Lamb Curry had great flavor, though the meat could have been more tender. The Garlic Naan was very good as well.

Overall, we enjoyed the meal. I wouldn’t say the flavors are truly authentic Indian, but for anyone looking to try Indian-style fast food, this is a good place to visit.“

“We had visited few months ago, they made food according to our request and taste. Specially my wife can only eat Mild Spicy Food.
In our Diwali and New Year, to celebrate yesterday we ordered via website. Once again they made all food according to our request and taste. We enjoyed it at our home with family.
We will be visiting this establishment more often.“

“I ordered paneer butter masala meal and chicken samosas via Uber Eats. Thr butter massla was bland and watery. I think it is from a jar.

The naan was crispy. It had great flavor, but lacked the sour and chew of homemade naan.

The chickeb samosas were good. I have only had potato and pea versions. They are a tad spicy, but good.“

“Great food and great service!!“

“Since we did not have luck with the Indian Tikka Grub, we stopped by at Nirvana to grab a Lunch combo.
And we were completely satisfied!
I got their Bindi masala and Veg manchurian balls along with rice.
My friend got their Chicken biriyani with Chicken 555 and Chicken Tikka masala.
We got complimentary roti with the order.
The taste was spot on for my combo and I enjoyed eating it! My friend loved the Chicken tikka more than the 555 and had similar opinions about the food as me.
Would definitely recommend to stop by if you are hungry and want a full-filling quick box to eat a happy meal!“

“The food was delicious. The staff was helpful and they had really good prices. Definitely coming back here again.“

“We catered food from Tai's kitchen for a get-together. All the food items were delicious and our guests enjoyed them!“
