Reviews for Botiwalla Optimist Hall in Charlotte, NC

If you order the lamb burger (which contains 2 small burgers), get ready for some SPICE. Great service, authentic Chai (iced or... hot) served with Parle-G biscuits, and tasty Mango Lassi. Miguel, the cashier, is incredibly friendly and Botiwalla does havethe option to dine in-place within Optimist Hall. Read more

We got the Butter chicken with a side of naan and the chicken tikka roll? it was all AMAZING, We love spicy and the tikka roll... had the tiniest kick to it which was a nice surprise. The staff is friendly and so welcoming. The music was nice and upbeatwhich only made the experience better. One of our new favorite spots in Charlotte! Can?t wait to be back! Read more

Dear Diners- aYour phone screens are not drool proof! Kindly take precautions.. ???? We had a feast at Botiwalla. We tried... their chicken malai roll, kale fritters, spdp and the lamb sliders. The flavours were a bomb. Their is lots of sloppy momentswhere the dressing is going to slither over your wrist and beautifully manicured fingers. There are no cutleries needed toenjoy these sinfully delicious food. Butter paneer rice was a decent serving and the Gobi 65 was a crispy fare during oursecond visit. They can tweak your spice level Incase you have sensitive tummy like mine. But the shout-out to the entire teamout in Botiwallas Head down to Botiwalla and enjoy their fare. It is something that should be on your to-do list every weekend.It would be packed as I feel it's kinda like the eatery mall. You might have to park a bit far as they tend to be busy thru thepeak hours and more. Read more

New to CLT, optimism hall is one of the places my friends recommended me to try before I leave. The hall itself is beautiful,... lots of restaurants and outdoor seating. We came here on an early October night when the weather was really still nice. Afterwalking around a bit, we finally settled for some delicious Indian food. I usually think Indian food as curry dishes but thisrestaurant's top notch was the lamb burger. Very interesting and intriguing, decided to go with that (trust my elite fellows).Wowww it was too amazing, the burger was very juicy and flavorful, and has a spicy kick to it. It was different, but differentin a good way!!! You also get two burgers although they are not too big. the appetizer I got was delicious although I stilldon't know what's in it -.- Read more

Botiwala has surely maintained the same Indian ambiance at all his outlets which we have been too.. today we tried the one at... Optimist Mall. We had the vada pav, kale fritters which were delicious. Then we tried the lamb and paneer roll which were wellpresented but lacked flavor. Read more

I'm obsessed with the SPDP ( which is Sev Potato Dahi Puri) | its an explosion of flavors and a great dish if you are just... trying Indian Food. One of the things I like most is you can order assembled, if you are going to eat them there OR disassembledwhich are better to go and you can put them together yourself. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu! They haveplenty of dining inside and out on their back patio. While I pre-ordered today, their staff is friendly and helpful if you needsuggestions. Such a great addition to Optimist Hall and Indian Street Food at its finest! Read more

Botiwalla is located inside the Optimist food hall and serves Indian food. The restaurant is decorated in a quaint way featuring... numerous nuggets of Indian memorabilia ranging from the colonial British empire to Bollywood pop culture. Loved the restaurantand the inside ambience. The food however was average at best. The Indian flavor of the dishes had been extremely diluted, I amassuming to serve the American palate. The Pav Bhaji was averages and left a lot to desire from the flavor and katti rolls werelacking quality of meat. The vada pav may have been somewhat of a saving grace. Read more
