EXOTICA INDIAN KITCHEN & BAR

"From the moment I stepped into Exotica Indian restaurant, I knew I was in for a treat. Located in Uptown Charlotte, NC, this gem surpassed all my expectations for an authentic Indian dining experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, decorated with vibrant colors and tasteful decor. The staff's hospitality from the start made us feel like honored guests. Coming to the food, The Clay Pot Grilled Lamb Chop is a masterpiece of tenderness and juiciness with herbs and spices. Palak Paneer and the fluffy and freshly baked Butter Naan are the perfect combination for veggie lovers. They have other wonderful dishes like Chilli Cauliflower Florets, Biryani, Chettinad Chicken and seafood options for both spice enthusiasts and those favoring milder flavors. I definitely feel this is a must-visit and Kudos to the entire team at Exotica for providing me with a wonderful dining experience."

"Exotica Indian Restaurant in Uptown Charlotte is an absolute gem! Our dining experience here left us truly impressed. The variety of flavors in each dish was nothing short of spectacular. Each item on the menu had its own unique and complex taste profile. I highly recommend visiting Exotica! Everything, from the food to the service, was exceptional. We kicked off our meal with delicious appetizers and soup, setting the tone for an amazing culinary journey. To complement the spicy dishes, we enjoyed refreshing mango lassi. For our main course, we savored the lamb korma, butter chicken, Palak paneer, and Paneer Alu Mattor – every dish was a delight! The cilantro garlic naan was the perfect accompaniment, especially for savoring those saucy delights. Our experience at Exotica left us eagerly anticipating our next visit. I can’t wait to return"

"Great authentic Indian food, high end service. We had lamb chops, chicken lollipop, chettinad chicken, butter chicken, garlic cilantro naan, chicken biryani, gulab jamun and rasmalai. Highly recommend the lamp chops and chicken biryani. No complaints about the food or the taste! Park your car in the garage and ask the server to give a parking pass, that way parking is free. Otherwise finding a parking spot is an issue."

"The food was amazing! Even something as basic as veggie lentil soup was elevated and delicious. We ordered a lot of food and everything was delicious noting came below an 8. Service was amazing too, they checked on us constantly and made us feel taken care of."

"It was a great place, my second visit. Indian food, which I enjoyed for a picky eater like me. The atmosphere was great. I felt comfortable and relaxed. The prices were great. A good place for a chilled soiree out, food and drinks on point."
