Passage to India

Serving Charlotte since 2009, the restaurant uses a fast-casual, limited-service approach. Meals are prepared to order rather than offered on a buffet, so the menu is the starting point for a visit. Takeout and delivery are available alongside dining in.

Lunch combinations pair a single entrée with basmati rice. The listed vegetarian or vegan combination starts below the chicken option, with naan and drinks available as paid additions. That arrangement makes the midday menu useful when you want a straightforward meal without ordering several separate dishes.

Butter chicken, shahi paneer, palak paneer and vegetable samosas feature prominently on the restaurant's website. Check the split service hours before heading over: daily lunch ends at 2:30 p.m., and dinner begins later in the afternoon or evening. Sunday dinner finishes earlier than the rest of the week.
