I am from the carribbean and I just moved to Charlotte, I was looking for a good restaurant to have lunch around my work area. I have been there twice, for sure I will come back again and again. I was really satisfied with the food (salt, oil, flavor, taste, are on point) the service (servers are kind and dressed well) and the atmosphere (quiet, with some good indian music in the background).

Great food and good service. Chilli cauliflower florets, Lasooni Jhinga, Chicken Biryani were good when we went. This place has great drinks as well. Definitely check this place if you are looking for good Indian food and drinks in the Charlotte area.

We went during restaurant week, and this place absolutely blew our taste buds out of the water! Exotica is owned by Triveni Supermarket, a local Indian grocery store in Pineville where a friend of ours said had the most authentic Indian food, and boy did the reputation carry over.

Food was amazing! Possibly some of the best Indian food I’ve had. Had the lunch special and it was the perfect portion. I will come back when I’m in Charlotte again!

It’s our repeat visit. Generally it’s an awesome upscale Indian cuisine option in uptown. It was elevated with live performances and karaoke open mic for Father’s Day weekend special.

Wow! A truly spectacular Indian restaurant in Uptown! After dining here and eating a number of the dishes, I was blown away. Full-on complex flavors…. Each dish was distinct. Asked for heat and got heat. Protein was nicely cooked. I can’t wait to return….I’m so excited!

I was a party at four today who dined at Exotica. We all thought it was the very best Indian food any of us had ever had. I ordered the butter chicken with the garlic Nam, and it was out of this world good !!! The atmosphere inside the restaurant is lovely and the service is superb. We all gave the experience a 10 out of 10. It was just excellent !!!
