Frankie Boys Ballantyne Charlotte

Chaat N Dosa is one of the better Indian restaurants in Charlotte. We visited around 6pm on a Tuesday for an early dinner and it wasn’t busy. They’ve an array of dosas, chaats and other North and South Indian dishes available. We got: 1. Pav Bhaji—it tasted pretty good. The Bhaji was piping hot, and hit the spot. 2. Masala Dosa(with Andhra Spice)—It was quite spicy, and is highly recommended too. 3. Chole Bhature—The dish comes with one large Bhatura and Chole(chickpeas). Bhatura was average, Chole was 10/10. 4. Pani Puri—comes with flavoured spicy water on the side. It tasted pretty delicious, with the flavours bursting inside the mouth. 5. Chai—It was a nice after-meal drink. It comes without sugar, and you can add sugar or sweetener to it. There are two kiosks for ordering—one for ordering for dining in, and the other for to-go. They also have other desserts items on their menu including Jalebis. The sambhar and chutneys are complimentary and are available in the area adjacent to the check-out area. The service was prompt, and you need to pick up the food yourself from the serving area. The dining area inside is of decent size, and since the restaurant is located inside a strip mall, ample parking is available outside. I’ll be back here to try more of their dishes.

I love this place — good Idli, Dosa and a lot of other good options I’m yet to explore! The Sambar is hot and tasty as well. Great place to eat good Indian food and have a coffee before heading to a movie. This is not a fine-dining place, so if one wants good food and doesn’t mind waiting to pick up food from the counter with token system and hustle then this is the place to enjoy good South Indian food! I wish they had flexible options with snacks in their menu where one can buy small portions of varieties separately instead of having to buy the whole mixed snacks option.
