Masti Indian Restaurant & Bar – Authentic Indian Cuisine & Cozy Dining in Charlotte, NC

This place exceeded my expectations. The moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and seated right away. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The food? Absolutely delicious. I ordered the spicy chicken bowl, and every bite had the perfect balance of heat and flavor. Grilled chicken so good with beautiful presentation Portions were generous but not overwhelming. Shoutout to the staff—they were fast, polite, and genuinely seemed to care whether I was enjoying my meal. The guy who work here he's doing everything by him self he's the cook he's the server he's the bartender i mean I'm amazed by his work skills he explained to my guest very nicely.Great food + outstanding service = I’ll definitely be back.

Outstanding! The food is very delicious and the atmosphere is quite enjoyable with the old brick alley and cozy interior. Mikita was wonderful and welcomed us and made it feel like home. I had the lamb korma with garlic naan. The portion was large and full of flavor. It was so good, that if I had a larger stomach I would have ordered another. This restaurant surprised me as it is well priced and in the heart of the city. I am truly impressed and delighted to now have a favorite Indian restaurant in Charlotte.

Hands down the BEST Indian cuisine I’ve found in Charlotte - and I’ve tried many. None compare to the consistency and full flavors of Masti’s cuisine. One time I actually met the man himself, Gopal, who cooks this incredible food. Best guy ever, and he knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. I don’t understand the sub 4.8 star overall rating - truly blows me away considering how delicious the food is. The quality of the lamb/chicken are always top notch. My favorites are the lamb korma (super thick and cashew infused, which is unlike any in Charlotte, making it my personal favorite), tikka masala with chicken or paneer, the chili chicken and chicken 65. Always incredible. I get “extra spicy” for all the above. Furthermore, their prices are better than you’ll find anywhere else in the city, especially for being right in the heart. PLEASE TRY MASTI. I enjoy this food beyond comprehension. It’s always such a treat. If you’re picking up, say hello to Gopal.

Raj and Mikita run an amazing Indian restaurant that makes you salivate from the memories days after your meal. I had the Butter Chicken with Garlic Naan and a Taj Mahal beer and I was floored by how delicious each item was. The naan was so colorful and light with that hit of garlic I love so much, and the butter chicken was tastier than fresh vegetables from the Garden of Eden. I will be back again and again!
