Mystic Spice in Charlotte, NC

We decided to dine at Mystic Spice after getting positive recommendation from a friend. I can see why he suggested that I go eat there. Yes, this is in the same location as a former Indian restaurant which has served Charlotte for years; although the look and feel is completely different. I am hoping that the success of the former restaurant is bestowed upon Mystic Spice and they too have a long and successful history in this location. The flavors were outstanding and distinctly Punjabi. Service was excellent and we enjoyed the personal interaction from staff and owner. They do have a special breakfast (10am-12) menu where they server Paratha's and I am hoping that paratha's make it to the dinner menu as well. They are working on aligning their menu with demand. I also heard that they will have karaoke on Thursdays and other special events. Mystic Spice does have a full bar and I heard they make great drinks. I am looking forward to going back again soon with some friends and believe this is going to be our new favorite restaurant. Thank you Dipti and Priya for a delightful evening and wish you great success. We will see you soon!!!!

From the moment I walked into Mystic Spice, I was impressed by the warm ambiance and welcoming staff. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and every member of the team made sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout our visit. The food was the true highlight of the evening. Each dish was bursting with bold, authentic Punjabi flavors that transported me straight to the heart of North India. The spices were perfectly balanced, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. Whether it was the rich, creamy butter chicken or the smoky tandoori dishes, every bite was a delight. What stood out most was the attention to detail in both presentation and taste. It’s clear that the chefs at Mystic Spice take great pride in their craft. This wasn’t just a meal—it was a culinary experience. I will absolutely be returning to Mystic Spice and highly recommend it to anyone looking for genuine Punjabi cuisine paired with top-notch service.

Highly impressed with this place. The owner Deepti was super nice and we had a long conversation at the end. She wants to create a place where people can enjoy a meal and relax and create connection. This really struck home with me. I’m a big believer in food bringing people together. This is probably the best Indian food I’ve had in Charlotte. (And I’ve been to probably 10-15). Had the paneer sizzler, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Highly recommend.

Finally, a North Indian restaurant in CLT doing it right! Kadhi pakoda, dahi bhalla, and sarson ka saag — all authentic, all delicious.Good ambiance and service.

Great dining experience we had at the new Indian restaurant in Charlotte. This restaurant is spacious, the decor is sophisticated and has got good upscale vibes, but the food is very reasonably priced. The dishes we ordered were bursting with incredible flavors with the perfect spice level we asked for. They got a good selection of cocktails and drinks to pair with appetizers and entrees. If your palate craves for some authentic Indian food give them a try soon.
