Botiwalla

Everything that we tried here was amazing! We ordered the Bengali special fish (curiously came in a burger style with nice chutney!) the malai chicken kabob and the MG road style chicken wings, all incredibly tasty and flavorful. The highlight was the bourbon spiked hot chai (tea!) .Again, the ambiance and the service is awesome too.... Thoroughly recommended and will be back whenever we are in Charlotte!!

Our recent visit to Charlotte area, friends took us to Optimist Food Hall and one of the restaurants we tried was Botiwalla. We enjoyed the dishes and thought it was nice that there is a dedicated seating area for this restaurant.We tried the SDPD, wings, lamb seekh kabab roll, lamb burger, chicken and lamb skewers, and also the masala chai. I liked pretty much everything and especially the wings. The SDPD (pain puri) was a bit heavier than the ones we tried before, but still it was flavorful. The chicken skewer, while cooked nicely, the flavor just paled in comparison to all the other items.I'd totally go back again and again for the wings and the lamb burgers though.

Really good smells coming out of this place! It's been a while since I've had any indian food so I figured I'd check it out. The food is as fresh and vibrant as the decor. I got the lamb kabob roll which was really flavorful, big hits of cilantro and red onion. The naan was really well done and the lamb was perfectly cooked and spiced.I'm not a huge fan of red onion and it's on me for not asking them to omit that. But otherwise was very good. Next time I'll ask for no onion because they really go hard with it.

Very good and authentic! Service is great and so is the ambiance. I love bringing my laptop and working here. This is becoming a regular place for me.

Nice place to try in Optimist Hall. I ordered my food online and picked it up inside. The employee who gave me my food was friendly and verified my order. The seating are was nicely decorated. I truly enjoyed my food the potatoes were flavored very well and crispy. The Lamb burger sliders were a good size and delicious. I felt like I got my money worth of food.

Botiwalla was recommended to me by so many, and I'm so glad I finally tried it. I ordered the chicken tikka roll, and it was delicious. The naan was fresh, and it was the perfect amount of spice paired with the side of sauce to balance it out. I'm eager to come back and try the lamb sliders and smashed potatoes.

Had the aloo tikki chhole: Crispy Indian potato fritters served over a spiced chickpea stew with tamarind chutney, green chutney, sweet yogurt, sev and red onion. SO GOOD! Service was so friendly and recommended food based on my preferences.Ambiance is a fun and casual vibe- great place for a casual hangout with friends at the Optimist Hall

I've been on an Indian food kick lately & this restaurant did not disappoint me. Located in Optimist Hall Charlotte, this restaurant is so quaint & cute. Rich in culture with the artwork & music. Ordered the lamb burgers potatoes as the butter chicken. Ohhh so good! The burgers & butter chicken had a little kick (spicy) so keep that in mind. I also had the pineapple mule. It was light & refreshing. A great experience overall!

The Malai Chicken Roll is a 10/10 and you need it in your life! This was my first time trying it. It was extremely filling... tender marinated chicken topped with the dynamic flavors of slaw, onions and cilantro on soft hot naan. It was ahhmazing and I was sad when I got to the end. Thankfully I found one last surprise piece of chicken in my little bag that had fallen out which was the love on top of love. The only bad thing about this place is that there are not more locations around town (at least not yet). I wish I could pop in without the inconvenience of driving to Optimist Hall. My husband also swears by the Crispy Masala Fish Roll. He said it's a hit but he didn't share any with me because we were both being stingy with our rolls. Service was also great. My meal was basically ready before I could finish placing the order but it was hot and the staff was friendly and appreciative of our business. I highly recommend!

Service was spectacular we were greeted and helped with the menu. And the food wow so yummy! The ambiance is very clean and nice. Definitely recommend!
