Bawarchi Indian Grill and Bar, Charlotte

The most surprising part of this restaurant was actually the first page of the menu — please refer to the photo I’ve attached. I stopped by this location on my way back to Atlanta, as it’s a franchise of the Bawarchi restaurant chain. Unfortunately, this branch doesn't come close to the quality of the Sandy Springs location. I ordered biryani, which turned out to be extremely dry. The Schezwan rice came with burnt Manchurian, which was disappointing. I’ve included photos as proof to give a clear picture of the experience. The restaurant also had an unpleasant smell and there were flies around, which made the dining experience uncomfortable. It feels like the kitchen staff could benefit from some additional training. I don’t mean to be harsh — just being honest. Wishing the team the best of luck moving forward.

We visited Bawarchi Indian Grill and Bar for Friday lunch. The place wasn’t crowded, probably because it was a weekday. The decor was decent and clean, giving a simple but pleasant dining vibe. We started with two appetizers: • Karivepaku Chicken (Curry Leaves Chicken) – This was a standout! Packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend. • Malai Chicken Tikka Kebab – Served on a sizzler plate, but the flavor didn’t quite hit the mark. It was a bit too bland for our taste. For the main course: • Goat Roast Pulav – This was a bit disappointing. Pulavs are usually rich and aromatic, but this one lacked depth of flavor. • Vijayawada Special Boneless Chicken Biryani – Absolutely delicious! Spicy, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. The service was excellent – the staff were polite, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable.

If you’re looking for great food paired with incredibly friendly service, this place is a must-visit! The staff here are warm, patient, and genuinely care about making your experience perfect. One thing I really appreciate is that the biryani handis are made fresh daily, and you can truly taste the difference. Be sure to ask the staff for their recommendations—they’re always happy to guide you to the best dishes. Just share your preferred spice level, and they’ll suggest exactly what will suit your taste. Their knowledge and hospitality really elevate the whole dining experience. Highly recommended!

With close to 10 years at this location, it’s their warm welcome that truly sets them apart. My go-to spot for colleagues, friends, and family. This restaurant never disappoints—warm staff, great service, and consistently flavorful dishes. Their pulavs, freshly made biryani handis, and weekend specials are standout favorites.

The banquet hall is ideal for family events or corporate gatherings, offering plenty of space to relax and chat while kids enjoy themselves. The staff always give extra attention to little ones, adjusting spice levels and prioritizing their meals.
